A/N: I don't know if the warehouse would have a kitchen or bedrooms, but for the purpose of my story it does.

As Irina headed for the warehouse kitchen, her thoughts turned to Sydney.

Irina knew that Sydney was skeptical about her, who wouldn't be.

But, Irina really did love her.

Although, on the other hand she wasn't quite sure what she was going to do with them.

Capturing Agent Vaughn had been a pure fluke.

None of her guards had even known that he was there, until he had appeared dripping wet onto the warehouse roof.

But, in the short amount of time that she had spent in the same room as Sydney and Vaughn, Irina could tell that they loved each other.

But, Irina figured that she could find out for sure later.

For now, her first concern was getting them set up in rooms and then fed.

"Perhaps, after I separate Agent Vaughn and Sydney I can get Sydney to open up to me" Irina thought.

Sydney shifted in her chair; her arms were starting to fall asleep from being held in the same position for so long.

She looked over at Vaughn, to find that he was also shifting, and wiggling his arms.

Vaughn shook his head, and said, "I wonder where Irina went, she's been gone like an hour."

Sydney just shrugged her shoulders.

Suddenly, Irina's voice sounded into the room. "I believe that I can answer that Agent Vaughn."

As she said this, the woman herself appeared in the doorway.

"I was seeing to your accommodations. Your dinner is waiting in your rooms.

It's chicken soup." Irina added this as an afterthought.

"Our rooms?" Sydney asked in confusion.

"Well, you have to sleep somewhere besides that chair don't you?" Irina asked.

"But, we're in a warehouse" Sydney said.

"Yes, I know that we are in a warehouse. But sometimes I have to stay very late, because of one thing or another so I added a bedroom. Well, two bedrooms actually, mine and one for a guest." Irina stated.

"Agent Vaughn will stay in the guest room under guard, and you will stay with me.

But there will be guards posted all around, so you might as well not try anything."

Irina smiled at her and Vaughn.

Once they were installed in their rooms, and had eaten dinner Irina left Sydney alone, so that she could check up on Vaughn.

Sydney immediately jumped up, and opened the door.

Fifteen guards stared back at her.

With a sigh, she closed the door.

She was an excellent fighter, but there was no way that she could take on fifteen, armed guards by herself.

With a sigh, she sat down on the bed to wait for her mothers return.

When Irina inquired of Vaughn's guards they informed her that, "He had opened his door once, but quickly shut it when he saw them.

They had looked in on him a few minutes ago, and found that he was asleep.

Irina smiled. "Good, I don't suspect that he'll try anything, but be on your guards."

"Yes, of course" they replied, as she turned to go back to Sydney.

As Sydney awaited her mother's return, her thoughts drifted to her dad.

He would already have gotten Will.

They were supposed to have been at the plane hours ago.

"He must be so worried, and there's no way to contact him" Sydney thought.

Her thoughts then turned to her mother. "What does she want? Will she let us go?"
