Chapter 6: Spying
Once out of the bathroom, Sydney and Kate headed towards Jack Bristow, but Dixon stopped them. "Both of you, my office," he said. Having no other choice, the women followed him. Once they were all seated, he spoke. "I'll make this quick because we've got to move. We've just gotten intel that a former Covenant agent named Ivan Cosovich has gone freelance. He's stolen a disk from the Covenant containing information on their medical experiments."
Sydney sucked in her breath. That meant that the disk might have information on what had happened during her missing two years...
Dixon saw her expression and nodded at her. "Cosovich has apparently made arrangements to sell the disk to an unknown buyer tonight in Rio de Janeiro. Sydney, you speak Portuguese, right?"
Sydney nodded, and Kate said, "So do I."
"Good. We've got the location of the meeting, and there's a plane leaving in half an hour. Kate, have you met Cosovich?"
"I've seen him once or twice, but we've never actually been introduced. He won't recognize me," Kate said confidently.
"Fine. It will be you two, then; I don't want to take a chance of our 'leak' letting the Covenant know about this before you get there. You'd better get to the airport; clothing and equipment will be waiting for you when you arrive." They stood and left the office.
As she exited, Kate almost ran into Jack Bristow. "Excuse me...um, hello, I don't think we've met before," Jack said.
"Agent Bristow, this is Kate Brown. She's just out of training," Dixon said.
"Oh. Nice to meet you, Agent Brown," Jack said.
"Nice to meet you, Agent Bristow," Kate said. Unfortunately, there was no time to talk, so she and Sydney simply left.
"I guess it will have to be tomorrow," Sydney said once they were out of the building. Kate nodded.
Fourteen hours later, Sydney and Kate were in Rio and headed toward Cosovich's home, dressed in black sneaky suits and armed to the teeth. They split up to get into the study where the meeting would take place, with Sydney going around outside and Kate going through the house.
Kate reached the study first, bursting in just as Cosovich handed the disk to his buyer. Damn, we're late, she thought as she took Cosovich down with a blow to the head before he even knew she was there. She turned and pointed her gun at the buyer, only to see a gun pointed back at her. Kate froze. The woman holding the gun in one hand and the disk in the other was someone Kate hadn't seen in almost twenty years.
Her mother.
Next: I'm not telling you this time.
