"Your daughters are dead. You have wasted you time coming here." the man said, grinning so widely Sydney could see all his yellow teeth.
"You're wrong." Sydney said, matching the man's heartless grin.
"And how would you know that?" the man questioned, as if bringing forth a challenge.
"For one thing, you need her. She must be alive in order to do whatever you are doing, otherwise everything you've put some effort into accomplishing would go up in smoke. And for another thing, you wouldn't have told me. The Covenant doesn't like telling people what they have already done. If you had really killed them, you would've waited for us to infiltrate your headquarters so you could kill us as well." Sydney said in a bored tone.
The man gave Sydney a look of approval. "You're a smart woman, although I doubt you don't know that. You would make an excellent Covenant agent." the man said.
Sydney rolled her eyes. "I already did." She said and took out the syringe and injected him as well.
"This is Mountaineer. Prepare for extraction." Sydney said into her comm. She quickly took out a stretcher and put Danny on it hand headed to the roof. If anyone asked, he collapsed, hit his head, and she was on her way to take him to a hospital in Germany since all the other hospitals that weren't for mental patients were either in really bad condition or was closed for remodeling.
Fortunately no one even gave her a second look. The helicopter was already there with its doors open. Vaughn and Jack stepped out and helped Sydney put the unconscious man into the helicopter.
"Impressive work handling Shultz." Vaughn said, smiling at Sydney.
"Who?" she asked.
"Rosco Shultz. Former KGB, he's now a contact for the Covenant. From what I hear of him, he's a real bastard." Vaughn said. Sydney nodded, feeling less remorse from injecting him, and more regret for not shooting him.
"You should get some rest. After debriefing Danny, Dixon will undoubtedly need to send us somewhere to retrieve whatever Danny has told us is wherever. Plus...he may have a lead on Melanie and Molly." Vaughn added. Sydney nodded tiredly.
She woke up to Danny's struggling. When he saw Sydney he tried to go to her. "Syd, why did you do this to me?" he managed to get out before Jack, Weiss, and some other CIA agents got him out of the helicopter.
Sydney followed them out, watching closely in case Danny managed to get himself free and start running again. Six U.S. Marshals came to the people that were holding Danny and cuffed his arms and led him to a cell in Solitary Confinement.
"No one sees him until I say so." Dixon said as soon as Danny was in confirmed inside the cell. They all nodded. Sydney sat down at her old desk and waited impatiently. Vaughn came over a few minutes later, looking tired.
"Dixon says it could take a while. Danny's refusing to cooperate, so do you want to get something to eat?" he asked.
Sydney nodded. "I could make do with Italian." She said, smiling at him. Vaughn smiled back.
"Then Italian it is. We'll come back afterwards." He said and they got up and went to Carrabba's Italian Grill. Twenty minutes later they were seated and for the first time they looked at each other with such compassion, Sydney was surprised people weren't staring at them.
Vaughn broke the silence. "So, what have you been up to while I was gone?" he asked. Sydney shrugged.
"Nothing. I didn't willingly come back to the CIA. The double told me that the CIA had a lead on Melanie. That's why I came back." she told him.
"Did you do any other work? How did you pay your bills?" Vaughn asked, looking genuinely interested.
"Don't tell anyone ok? I'd lose my reputation." Sydney said. Vaughn wanted to tell her how so high school that sounded, but decided against it.
"Ok, I promise." was all he said.
Sydney hesitated before saying, "My father's been paying my bills. At the time he was the only one who understood how I felt. He probably still is." she explained.
"I know how you feel." Vaughn said.
Sydney smiled. "I know. But at the time...you weren't there." She pointed out obviously.
They were interrupted by the waiter bringing them their orders. After they ate their cell phones rang.
"This is Dixon. Get yourselves in here now!"
A/N: Next chapter is the last chapter before this story is complete, but there will be a sequel and it will be up soon after this story is finished. Anyway, review!!!!
