A/N: Thanks so much for the inspiriting reviews! And the drama continues…
Previously on Come Clean:
Sydney stared at the object in question and ripped off it's top layer. Underneath it, she realized what Lauren was getting at. There was a timer on it clicking off how long that had to defuse it, and there was only 20 seconds left.
"Secondary protocol, you understand." Lauren sneered.
Chapter 8 Diggin' your scene
Tell me why we're all gluttons for pain
The girl is totally insane
She doesn't know the meaning of tame
Still I can't put out the flame
Sydney's POV
Secondary protocol my ass. I thought throwing back my arm. "Steal this bitch!" with that I hurled it towards Lauren and jumped down towards the ground with Sark not far behind me. I landed with a thud and a few seconds later I heard an explosion. I glanced over at Sark who was staring off in Lauren's direction.
"What's that sound?" Sark asked me.
"huh?" I asked.
Hey hey I wanna play on the team that you despise
Every day a new disguise
Every night a Halloween
She says keep the motor runnin' man
Like I was some machine
He pointed his chin towards the entrance we had come out of and we spotted black vans entering the warehouse.
"Something makes me think that they're not on our side." I whispered to him before I crouched as I ran for cover.
You can talk talk but I'm keepin' her stock
I wouldn't even change a thing
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line
I'm so diggin' your scene
I turned on my Com link. "HQ, we need backup, NOW!" I whispered.
"We're on the same wavelength, help should be there promptly." a voice informed me.
I glanced down on my gun before I checked to see if there were still bullets in there. Giving a side glance towards Sark, I turned around before slowly rising up from behind the box.
"Sark! Bristow! Get your asses out of here and stop playing games!" Lauren yelled, knocking over a box. There were hundreds and hundreds of boxes in piles to give just about anybody cover.
I said you're playing with my head
I could split instead
I'm so diggin' your scene
I open fired towards the car tires and then at the people in the car.
They returned fire, leaning out of the windows.
Sark began to run towards Lauren to attack her, but I grabbed his hand and pulled him under the cover of the box.
"If you get her now, they'll shoot your ass, take them down first. You can do whatever you want after backup gets here." I demanded.
On you like a hungry tick
Like a junkie knows he ought to kick
But I don't want to be dope sick
So I scramble for a fix
"Screw that." he argued, shrugging off my arm and running after Lauren. Lauren was on the other side of the warehouse, by boxes full of lawn mowers and DVDs, etc. I wondered why I loved Sark if he was supposed to be my most hated enemy. And I used to hate him. So what changed my mind? Wait, I'm not sure I did change my mind? Maybe underneath this physical attraction I still loathe him. Maybe…
A man spotted Sark and turned his gun from me to him.
Voodoo and sorcery too I can't shake your freaky spell
"Shit," I mumbled, aiming for the guy. Pulling the trigger I heard a click. Fuck! I screamed mentally as I scurried to reload.
Why fight you've got me roped and tied
I hit your baited line

I'm so diggin' your scene
I bent down, and heard shots. A while later I heard the slump of a body and realized that backup or no backup we couldn't wait any longer. Dashing to the side of the warehouse with boxes full of guns I grabbed a few and ran charging at the people in the vans. One guy, obviously new, aimed his gun towards me, but I dodged the bullets before sending a high kick his way to kick it out of his hand. It went flying across the floor as I grabbed him by the throat and threw him into the van. Throwing him onto another box, I did a roundhouse sending him to the ground. I started again for him when I felt something hit me in my back. I fell to the ground on my hands and knees. Most likely that same person grabbed me and did a body slam. I fell to the ground clutching my side.
Can anybody tell me why we're Springer bound
Why we feel so up when we're kept down
On a short leash behind a barbed wire fence
With no chance of parole on a life sentence
"Ow, fuck" I muttered. I glanced up and noticed it was a guy who wasn't exactly physically fit in the middle. He attempted to kick me, but I rolled out of the way and threw him to the ground. Picking him up I threw a punch at him and slammed him into the boxes. Doing a roundhouse, he fell to the ground. I jumped into the nearest van, looking for others. The van appeared empty and bare, so I waited awhile before getting out. I glanced over and noticed another man reloading his gun, most likely attempting to shoot me. I shot at him until I saw him hit the ground. Hearing gun fire I spun around and searched for it's source.
"Where are they?" I asked out loud.
"Surprise bitch." someone muttered and I turned around just in time for them to pull the trigger.
My friends tell me I should run
They say they think she's got a gun
But that just only turns me on
Right on Right on Right on
Sark's POV
I dropped my gun and glanced around for Sydney. I couldn't see her and I had just heard a body slump to the ground. No, no, it cant be. I thought hyperventilating. Licking my lips I glimpsed the sight of an empty warehouse. All sounds were quite. A dead Lauren lay beneath my feet, and a few bodies lay either unconscious or dead on the ground. There were more people than this, where are they? I wondered. Reloading my gun I began to look around. Peering from behind a pile of boxes, I passed by a van and heard talking.
Hey hey I wanna play for the team that you despise
"Tell them we've got what we want. The rest of the vans can pull out." a voice ordered. Taking a few steps back, I shot the tires and the windows. I heard the footsteps of people in the vans. I grabbed the handle and pulled the door open only to find it empty.
"What the fuck?" I mumbled.
I heard the screeching of tires and saw familiar vans pull up. "CIA freeze!" they demanded sending shots towards the vans. Something caught my eye to the left, so I headed in the direction as the vans began moving out. That's when I saw it. Izzabella was drabbing Sydney's limp body into a van.

Moments after they got into the van, it started up. I ran towards it shooting everywhere on the van. Regardless of that fact, the van still sped off, in the hole that had been created because of the explosion. Chasing after it, I ran into the bright daylight behind it attempting to catch up. It didn't take long however for it to speed away. I glanced round for a car to "borrow" but there were none in sight.
"No!" I screamed. I headed back towards the warehouse. Hearing the gunfire I could tell that the other vans hadn't been so successful in escaping. A while later I saw a group of men walking into a van accompanied by agents with weapons. I noticed Vaughn holding something to his body with bold dropping on the ground behind him and jumping into a car that sped away.
I jumped into the truck that we had come in and drove after them.
A/N: So, no review, no update, as simple as that.
