TWO DAYS LATER
Sydney was just getting out of the shower when the phone rang. Since she was the only one there, she had to answer it.
"Hello," she said.
"Joey's Pizza?" came Michael's voice on the other side of the phone.
Sydney couldn't help but laugh at the cover he was using. When they were in high school she and Mike and all of their friends used to hang out there. "Wrong number." she answered and hung up the phone with a smile on her face. Whenever somebody would mention that place, she would always smile and remember all the good times they had.
Sydney quickly finished getting ready, got into her car, and headed towards the warehouse.
Sydney wasn't really mad at Vaughn anymore, during her mission she had had a lot of time to think about things. She now understood why he had gotten so upset about her not telling him about Evelyn. Whether he wanted to be a father or not, he still had a right to know.
Her mission and counter mission were easy, since the CIA already knew what was on the disk she was supposed to get, they made a copy and she went to get the real one. She gave the copy to SD-6 and was on her way to give the real one to the CIA.
She pulled up to the building where she saw a government issue, dark blue, unmarked sedan that she assumed to be Mike's. She went inside and found him there waiting for her.
"Hi," she said while walking up to him.
"Hi" was his almost forced reply. "So, what was on the disk you retrieved?"
"Information about a project Christmas. They would take young children ages six and seven and give them a test. There would be a few questions on that test that would indicate whether that child was more intelligent than another, or if they would make a good agent." Sydney paused for a moment.
The CIA knew enough about the disk to create a copy that would look like the real thing, but they did not have all the information. Michael nodded for Sydney to continue, "The students that met the requirement were sent to a camp where they would be tested further. At the end of the camp they remember nothing about camp except that it was very fun and entertaining. Then once they reached the right age, they would be recruited to work for that agency." Sydney finished, but then added, "they were trained to be spies, they had no choice."
Sydney handed him the disk, "I have to go get hypnotized." Mike looked at her curiously, "Why?"
Sydney sighed, "Since they figured out that my mother was Irena Derevko, they want to see if she said anything important around me or took me anywhere to meet her contacts when I was a child."
Vaughn nodded and Sydney started walking away, but before she got too far she turned back around and said, "Evie has a soccer game tomorrow at 1:30 at Sherry Park, if you want to come."
Vaughn was quiet for a while before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll come." Sydney nodded then said, "Oh yeah, she's number 8." Vaughn laughed aloud at that. It was a long story that had to do with them and pizza when they were younger.
SHERRY PARK
He watched the game from the corner of the field. He would've joined the crowd, but it was already dangerous enough for him to be there.
The game had just started, and already Evie's team had a goal. They were a good team; one thing Sydney kind of left out was that she was the coach. He could also tell that Francie was the assistant coach, and did a lot because Sydney wasn't able to make it to a lot of the games and practices.
Somehow Vaughn had managed to recognize Francie after all these years. She had been Sydney's best friend in high school, and apparently still was. Vaughn was very proud of the daughter he had never met; she was a goalie and damn good at it.
Later on in the game Sydney had to go to the bathroom, so Mike met her by the door when she came out.
"Syd," he called when she walked out.
Sydney turned around to see who had called her name. When she turned around and saw Mike she immediately smiled and said, "I'm so glad you could make it."
He smiled back and said, "You know you failed to mention that she was so good."
She looked down at her shoes and then back up to him. "I know. I figured if you really wanted to know anything about her you would come and find out for yourself."
"Why wouldn't I come? I've never had a daughter before, or a child for that matter."
"Vaughn, this was just a test to see if it was really worth the effort to try to make it so that you can have a father-daughter relationship with her." She paused, "And now I know it is."
Vaughn smiled and nodded as she started walking towards the field.
