Chapter 2: Cat Spring

//Flashback//

Cat strode over to the man. Her heels clicked against the hard ground. When she got over to him she extended out her arm. Vaughn looked at her, got up, extended out his arm and they both shook hands.

"I presume your Mr. Vaughn", Cat said

"Yes, I am and who are you", Vaughn asked?

"I'm Cat Spring", Cat replied "The woman that is supposed to watch over Sydney Bristow"

Vaughn wasn't happy anymore. The minute Dixon had told him that he was hiring someone to watch over Sydney, he knew it was a bad idea. Sydney would probably end up killing her. She was very independent and hated when people took care of her.

Cat waved her hand in front of Vaughn's face and said, "Earth to Vaughn"

Vaughn blinked his eyes a few times and said, "Um, oh yeah sure"

Cat gave Vaughn a worried look and said, "So do you know where Sydney is"?

"In the Meeting Room", Vaughn replied

He pointed to a door labeled Meeting Room.

"Vielen Dank", Cat said

"Ihr Empfang", Vaughn said

The second before Cat walked away Vaughn said, "Be careful Sydney doesn't like people taking care of her"

"I know", Cat said and she walked away.

Vaughn stared at her as she walked away.

"Was Cat just bluffing when she said that", he thought?

"Maybe Cat had known Sydney during her missing two years", he thought

//End Flashback//

Sydney just gazed at Cat for a minute. "Is this really the person that is going to watch me"? Cat looked like she was at least three years younger then her. She didn't even seem like an agent. Cat wasn't muscular and she was short.

"So you're the person that's been missing for two years", Cat said

Sydney didn't do anything but frown at Cat. She was trying to figure out if Cat was really good now or if she was still working for the Covenant as a double agent.

"Oh yeah now I remember you", Cat said "When the Covenant had you your name was Ingrid Haskul"

Cat giggled loudly at her own joke and Sydney just gave her the same frown. A couple of people glanced at Sydney and Cat but then went back to work. Cat gave Sydney a disgusted glare.

"Note to self", Cat said "Sydney doesn't like jokes"

Just then Jack Bristow walked out of a room and came towards Sydney and Cat.

"Hi", Sydney said

"Hi", Jack said "Who is this"?

Before Sydney could speak Cat said, "I'm Cat Spring the person that is going to watch over your daughter.

Sydney and Jack both peered at Cat. "How did she know that he was my dad", Sydney thought?

Jack gave a cold hard glare at Cat. He didn't trust her especially since she had once worked for the Covenant.

Cat cocked her head waiting for Sydney or the man to say nice to meet you or something friendly like that.

"My name is Jack Bristow", Jack said "I am a Senior Agent and if you do anything to hurt Sydney I will have you thrown in a cell immediately"

Jack had expected Cat to flinch or even better start to cry and run right of the CIA building never to be seen again. But she didn't even move or cry.

"Well since you are a Senior Agent I guess you have the authority to do that", Cat said

Sydney's eyes got wide after Cat's response. She could never remember someone actually talking to my father after he said something like that. Except for Kendall or maybe Dixon of course.

Jack didn't move for a few seconds. He couldn't believe Cat had said that. Even though it hadn't been a cruel reply but still no one had ever talked to him like that.

A couple seconds later Lauren walked up to them.

She looked at Cat and said, "Oh, its you again"

Cat faked a smile and said, "Nice to see you again to"

Before Lauren could speak Cat meanly said, "Did it ever occur to you that Mr. Vaughn might still love Sydney?"

"I'm beginning to like Cat", Sydney thought

Sydney couldn't help but smile. And she couldn't believe it when she actually saw her father smile. Lauren appeared as if she was going to cry. Cat stood there, waiting for Lauren to answer her question.

Lauren glared at Cat and said, "Mr. Bristow Dixon needs to see you"

"Thank you", Jack said and Lauren and Jack walked away.

As soon as Lauren was out of sight Sydney started laughing uncontrollably.

"Oh so now you laugh at something I say", Cat said

Sydney stopped when people were staring at her. She felt so embarrassed.

"Cat is funny", Sydney thought

Cat gave Sydney a confused look and folded her arms.

"So can we go somewhere and talk", Cat asked?

"Sure", Sydney replied "We can go sit down at one of the desks"

Cat nodded her head and followed Sydney over to a desk. For a couple of minutes they just stared at each other. But then Sydney broke the silence.

"How old are you"? TBC....

A/N~ I just love Cat! Good thing I made her up.
