A shadowy figureentered the private chambers of the leader of R.A.Intel. "Ma'am, the CIA has decided to investigate us. They are sending in a team of three agents, Sceno, Vaughn and Dixon. I hope this information is important to you. It took quite a bit of hacking to obtain it."
"You should shut your mouth about things like that. This place could be bugged. I will not have anyone finding out about our plans."
"How could this place be bugged? It's perfectly safe, and you know it-"
A hand whipped out to slash the cheek of the man's handsome face. "Don't talk to me that way, young man," the voice hissed. It seemed as if the voice itself were poison.
The man got to his feet, the force of the blow having knocked him to the ground. "You'll regret that," he hissed to himself.
"Sydney Vaughn is the Agent Vaughn you spoke of, is she not?" The voice cut through the air like a knife, through tension that the man hadn't even known was there.
"Yes ma'am."
"Catch her and the others as soon as they arrive in Russia."
"How do you know they're going to Russia?"
"If they know that we're the Russian Alliance Intelligence, don't you think they would most likely go to Russia?"
"Yes ma'am." The man knew a dismissal when he heard it. He hurried out of the chamber, leaving the woman cackling in her chair.
Sydney Vaughn stared out of the airplane window, thinking. Why didn't she tell Vaughn about the baby? The baby! She smiled to herself. What would she call it? Would it be a boy or a girl? Speaking of girls, what would Lyssa and Lilli think? She shook her head. Of course they'd love a sister or brother! "And why didn't I tell Vaughn?!" she mumbled accusingly.
"Tell him what?" Sceno's voice hovered above her.
She looked up at him and smiled half heartedly. "Oh, I forgot to tell him about a conference with Lils teacher today," she lied and went on, "You know, she's an A student!" That was true.
"Oh!" Sceno said, and Dixon walked in.
"Come on, guys, we're about to land." Syd looked out the window one more time. The lights of Russia gleamed, and an enemy waited in the darkness.
