Chapter 8~ Toxic

Baby, can't you see
I'm calling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It's dangerous
I'm fallin'

***Sydney's POV***

Sydney walked alongside Weiss and Sark. Today was the day. They were going to bring down the Covenant. She wondered where Vaughn and Pilar were, but didn't think about it as she already had too much on her mind, well two things anyways: Sark and the Covenant. Even if the Covenant was taken down they couldn't have a healthy relationship without her betraying the CIA or him becoming pardoned which was highly unlikely. But, what made it worse was that even with her he was a dangerous man, and she liked it...

There's no escape
I can't hide
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You're dangerous
I'm lovin' it

***Pilar's POV***

She walked uncomfortably in the extremely crisp suit as she strode into the Covenant. Pushing two rotating doors open she walked up to a man and whispered something in his ear. He nodded and whispered something to her. She blinked then left.

***Vaughn's POV***

Spotting Sydney, Weiss and Sark he ran up to them as they were walking into a van. There were more than 20 vans already on the street heading to the same location.

***Sydney's POV***

She shook her head clear, going on missions gave her a sort of natural adrenaline rush, or could it have been Sark sitting dangerously close to her? Weiss was in the driver seat, with Vaughn beside him. Sydney and Sark were in back, with countless weapons and gadgets behind them.

"ETA: 10 minutes." Weiss informed them.

Too high
Can't come down
Losing my head
Spinning 'round and 'round
Do you feel me now

***Pilar's POV***

She waved hurriedly to the van approaching her. She had jogged a few blocks, and was glad not to run anymore.

****Back at the Covenant****

A man dressed in a suit whispered something to another man who ran across the building to a soldier who then shouted something in a foreign language to his platoon.

***Sydney's POV***

"Mountaineer, listen to me, do not move in until we tell you to. I repeat do not move in. Boy Scout and Penguin, move in with the first wave. I repeat; Boy Scout and Penguin move in with the first wave." Dixon ordered them through a Com. She nodded to Vaughn and Pilar who had now regained her breath. They were all wearing basically the same outfits worn during the termination of SD-6. Pilar grabbed a handgun and secreted it. She grabbed ammo and a few miscellaneous weapons.

"Are you ready?" Pilar asked Vaughn.

"Yea." Vaughn answered preparing to jump out of the van.

Weiss was now driving towards the back. He stepped on the brakes suddenly and the pair jumped out. Closing the door Sydney looked at Sark. He apparently had been thinking the same thing because he voiced it a few moments later.

"Something's wrong."

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

Weiss stared at him and Syd with a look that asked, 'What's going on?'

"Intuition, an extremely ominous one." she answered. She closed her eyes trying to remain focused on the mission. Irina's men would move in in the second wave to make sure they weren't going to pull something on them. Lauren was at Base Ops, listening through the Com. Link.

***Vaughn's POV***

He spun around looking for traces of human life inside the building, but to no avail. It's like they already knew we were coming, he thought worried. The building had on all its lights and a few fans, but no people. It looked freakishly like the Ops Center, to be frank, with the exception of the extra floors.

"Don't worry, I got your back." Pilar voiced right behind him. "I think maybe this is the main-"

Pilar was cut off in the middle of her sentence. Just then a bullet went flying straight at Vaughn and he fell to the ground making agonizing faces as he tried not to voice his pain.

Pilar's face morphed into horror as she tried to help the agent up.

"Hold on!" She shouted. "I see someone!" She shot at someone up on the second floor.

It's getting late
To give it up
I took a sip
From my devil cup
Slowly
It's taking over me

***Sydney's POV***

Weiss was a good friend and all, but not only was he killing the moment (^_~), but he was ruining any chance she had of talking to Sark in private.

"Hey Weiss, will you go check up on the other van, please, the one with Marshall." Sydney asked.

Too high
Can't come down
It's in the air
And it's all around
Can you feel me now

"Sure." he said climbing out of the car and heading over to the nearby van.

"You realize that you could have compromised the mission?" Sark asked.

"We'll be fine." Sydney assured him. "Can we talk?"

"Oh no! Not the 'We need to talk speech'" Sark joked.

"Sark, I'm serious. If the Covenant is taken down, and we are still going to be together… Then that means that I'll have to…" she trailed off knowing he knew what she meant. She bowed he head for a second and when she raised it again tears filled her eyes. "And if I had to make that choice, I know I would do it. Over and Over again, because you're toxic and I love it."

With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic
I'm slipping under
With a taste of poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
And I love what you do
Don't you know that you're toxic

Sark just looked at her. When he opened his mouth to speak however, Dixon came back on the Com. and shouted to them to move in and that Penguin and Boy Scout had been taken down, not permanently though.

"Can we continue this discussion after we take down the Covenant?" Sydney requested.

"Sydney, I don't think you realize just how vast, strapping, and treacherous the Covenant has become. We may not get out of it alive." Sark told her.

"Don't say that we-" Sydney started, refusing to believe his idea.

"We may not get out of here alive, say it Sydney. Let me hear you say it." Sark demanded.

"Sark-" Sydney started, but was dumbfounded by what he did next.

Sark kissed her and placed something around her neck. "You said you wanted this back," he told her rushing out of the van before she could do anything.

Moments later she realized what hung around her neck, the necklace she had given Sark to wear, the one he had given her. The silver pendent with on a sterling silver chain with numerous diamonds embedded in it. In the heart of the pendant was her birthstone, a beautiful luminous Blue Diamond. The pendant was 's' except at the bottom of the 's' it curved upwards towards the left with a dash (A/N: -) sitting on top of one end and beside the other; it looked like an 's' and a 'j' combined…

A/N: Ok, the major scne with the Covenant is coming up next and Sark doenst think that either him or her will make it out alive. What happened with Vaughn and Pilar? What decision did Mila come to? Where is Irina? Where is the rest of the cast? Well, then review and find out…
