The next day, Sydney was having lunch when a wave of nausea took over her body. She tried to stand but fell back into her chair. She found her cell phone and called a doctor. He came to the house to take her to the E.R. After the ambulance took her there, they ran some tests on her. She felt like fainting, but kept her eyes open until the doctors came back. "Ma'am I'm pleased to inform you that you are going to have a child." She blacked.
Lyssa could hear the fall of her feet as she pumped her way around the track.
"Alyssa," Lilli's voice echoed across the field.
Lyssa looked up and saw her sister waving her arms around up in the stands. She jogged over to her.
"Come on," Lilli said. "We need to go to H-Q for the final meeting at Op-Tech!"
She nodded her head and said, "I need to freshen up. I'll meet you in the parking lot."
Soon, they were driving down to H-Q in a new rental car. They walked into the office area and got onto an elevator which took them to the bottom level of the building. Once they reached Op-Tech, everyone was there.
Michael nodded at them as they sat down.
Dixon walked in carrying three manila folders. "This," he said, handing out he information to Syd, Sceno and himself, "Is your new I.D. information, including passports, money, tickets, and aliases." They nodded, opening the folders to take a look. "So read as much as you can before then."
Everyone agreed as Dixon explained they would have to be tracked with undetectable bugs, so they would stay safe. After the meeting, Sydney pulled Dixon aside and closed the door to Op-Tech. Dixon looked at her. "Syd, what's wrong?" He stood up and walked over.
"Dixon can you keep a secret?" Sydney asked seriously.
"Anything, Syd," Dixon replied, confused.
Sydney slowly started to explain. "I'm ….. pregnant," she confessed. She slid into a chair behind her, her eyes brimming with tears.
"What?" Dixon asked, surprised. "But, Syd, you can't…."
"Oh yes I will, Dixon. I have to go," she said, looking like she wanted to cry.
Dixon came over and said, "Syd, I understand. Don't worry, I'll make sure you're safe." But in his mind, he doubted these words.
Sydney nodded. "Thank you, Dixon." Then they both looked at the clock. It was time to leave for Russia.
