Chapter 7 I thought she knew
Some say that, time changes
Best friends can, become strangers
-Say anything, Good Charlotte
---Sark's POV---
I opened my blue Nokia cell phone and dialed the Rental place. I walked towards the park, where I had asked them to bring the car. I had almost reached the small park, when I noticed the car I requested was there.
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh I, Guess I should have told her
I thought she knew
I took the keys from the guy after showing him my fake id. I hopped into the car, staring her up and driving away with Sydney on my mind.
She said I took her for granted
It's the last thing I would do
Oh, I never understanded
I thought she knew
---Sydney's POV---
"Who is this?" Jack demanded.
"Hold on a sec," I told him, running to open the door. "Sark wait." It didn't matter because he was long gone.
"It's me, Sydney. I'm alive." I told him recalling what Sark said about Jack not believing I was his daughter.
"Look, I don't know who you are or what game you're playing, but this isn't funny. Who are you?" Jack demanded once again.
"Sorry," I told him, tears running down my cheek, "Wrong number." With that I hung up the phone.
I thought she knew
I thought she knew my world revolved around her
My love light burned for her alone
But she couldn't see the flame
Only myself to blame
I should have known
I should have known
---Jack's POV---
I sat there staring at the phone as if it were some link to the past. Could that have been Sydney? I wondered before shrugging it off again. No, no, Sydney died 7 years ago, I will not let some jerk mess with my head. But, why would they do it now? Why now? Is it the anniversary of something? I stared at the phone again before glancing at my caller id. Out of Area, it displayed with the phone number 555-0956. Picking up the phone I called the number again.
"Hello?" the same voice called.
"Hello, may I please speak to whoever just called Los Angeles from your phone, it's important." I told them and waited for them to get hold of the person.
A pause resounded from the other end for awhile. "This is her speaking."
"Sydney?" I called, a tear falling down my cheek.
"I, uh, know someone who used to be called that, why?" Destiny asked.
"Is it really you?" I asked.
A pause again resounded for what seemed like forever before she answered. "Yes, yes it is daddy." Destiny cried.
"I saw you die 7 years ago." I told her.
"We need to talk about what happened back then. You need to know why I left." Destiny told me. "I left, I left, I left because I was pregnant and afraid."
I should have known
A heart full of words left unspoken
Now that we're threw
I'd sell me soul
To have this silence broken
Oh, I thought she knew
I took a few moments to saturate in this new information. She was pregnant, but why didn't she tell me? Why? Was it a girl or a boy? What was it's name?
"Daddy?" she called from the other end of the phone. "Is this line secure?"
"Yes, why?" I asked, the bile rising in my throat as I pondered over what she was about to say.
"The father of my child is Sark." she told me and waited for my response.
"What!" I yelled. "What were you thinking? Do you know how irresponsible-"
"Dad! Calm down! No, I didn't have an abortion, and I know what I was thinking. That's why I called. It's about your granddaughter, Angel-" she started.
I snorted at this irony that the child of a terrorist would be named Angel.
"Dad, don't start, I need your help. She, she needs your help. We need to sort of stash her by you for awhile." Destiny informed me.
"Does this have anything to do with Sark being over there?" I asked knowing Sark had supposedly been tracked to Florida.
"Maybe… just a little, ok yes. But-" Destiny started.
"Now he's ruined your life and Angel needs to hide." I concluded.
"No, the CIA wants Sark and is willing to take my child away to get him. Daddy, I want a real family, and I don't want them to take it away. Sark came back, to be a real family. He's changed dad. Please, do this for me, and for Angel." she pleaded.
"ok, send her over. Just be sure Sark isn't using you." I acquiesced.
"He's not, I know it." she assured me.
"Sydney, don't do anything drastic, I'm coming there." I told her, hanging up my phone.
---Vaughn's POV---
"Hey, um, Weiss, could you pull over here please?" I asked.
"Sure buddy." he answered, pulling off the road.
I opened the door and stepped out of the car, ignoring my best friend's cries of confusion. Walking away form the car I dialed Lauren's number.
"What's up babe? The plans in motion, just thought you'd like to know." I informed her. You're doing this for Syd. I reminded myself.
I thought she knew
I thought she knew my world revolved around her

"Excellent. So, has a time been assigned for when to pickup the package?" Lauren asked.
"No, I'm afraid not." I answered.
"You should never be afraid." she replied before hanging up the phone.
I turned off my phone and turned around to come face to face with Weiss.
"Who was on the phone? A new girlfriend you haven't told me about? And don't say no because I heard the way you were talking to her. So, does she have a friend?" Weiss questioned.
I smiled. Poor, ignorant Weiss. "umm, I don't want to jinx it yet. So, what's new with you?" I asked, getting back into the car.
Weiss didn't seem exactly too satisfied with that answered, but he dropped it, getting into the drivers side.
---Sydney's POV---
I stood there standing in my living room, having just hung up with my father as a phrase played over in my mind. A girl I had known growing up named Lauren had told me that love was just another form of suicide. Maybe she was right. It would all make sense then.
---Sark's POV---
I drove not sure where I was heading. Maybe I knew subconsciously, and I just wanted to deny it. I smiled as I watched the speedometer rise quickly. Driving always freed my mind from my troubles.
I should have known
She was my once in a lifetime
Happy ending come true
Oh, I, guess I should have told her
But, I thought she knew
Slowing down, I eventually turned off the car, as I had reached my destination. I opened the car door and stepped out. Closing the car door I stepped toward the destination. I opened the door of the building and walked through. I coughed to announce my presence and she turned around surprised to see me.
"Hello babe." I greeted.
"Hello Sark." Lauren addressed me.
