A/N: Who here besides us wants to see Garfield? We can't help it, we're
possessed. On to the story!!
Sydney woke up, her head pounding so hard she felt like it would burst in half. She wanted to rub her forehead, but her hands were cuffed to the chair. Instead she took deep breathes and tried to stay awake. No one was coming as far as she could tell, and she needed someone to come so she could get out. But that would be hard, given she felt like she wanted to die.
Her prayers were answered when Sark entered the room. He was carrying something that looked oddly like the device she had retrieved from the church in China. But was it the device? She couldn't tell for sure.
"Ah Sydney. Finally awake. We have a little job for you, which I'm sure you are ecstatic about." Sark said sarcastically.
Sydney was too tired to think of a good comeback. "Sark, why don't you just leave? Do yourself a favor." Sydney suggested tiredly.
Sark pondered this, although Sydney highly doubted it. "No, I don't think so. Now that you have that out of your system, I'll keep going. This device is the key to our future. This will change the world as you are about to discover. And you are the lucky person who gets to be responsible for it." Sark told her as he got closer and closer with every passing step.
'This can't be good.', Sydney thought to herself. She kept a straight face though. "And how do I get to do the great deed?" Sydney said, matching Sark's deadly voice.
"That doesn't really matter. You'll figure it out within time. I'm just here to tell you your purpose to the Covenant." Sark informed her, but Sydney doubted that was it. There had to be something else; something he wasn't telling her.
Sark pulled up a chair and sat in front of Sark. She glared at him, making him know that when she got out of there, he'd regret ever meeting her. Either he ignored her warning, or he seriously didn't get it. "You know Sydney, I never got the chance to tell you that I really like you. Not just in a professional way. In a sort of...emotional way." Sark admitted.
"Are you hitting on me?" Sydney asked incredulously. She would've punched him but...that was impossible at the moment.
"I can't help my feelings toward you. I knew you were the one when I first saw you. I really can't tell you how I felt. All I know is that, I want to be with you." Sark told her.
"And this is the only way?" Sydney asked, as if she wasn't the person Julian Sark was telling her about.
"No, that isn't the reason. I'm doing this because I'm under orders. If it was up to me you wouldn't be here, even though I know it doesn't seem like it to you." Sark said, and for the first time ever, Sydney could see truth in his statement. She was speechless. Julian Sark had a thing for her?
"I understand if you don't feel the same. After all the horrible things I've done to you and your friends, I'd understand completely. I'm sure this doesn't help my case as well. I just wanted to let you know. My boss will be here soon. Just for the record, could you please not mention anything to him about my little confession?" Sark asked hopefully.
Sydney seriously considered lying to him. It would serve him right to be executed for admitting feelings for the enemy. But...he looked so helpless. Sydney just couldn't turn in someone to die just for telling someone his feelings. So she nodded.
Sark smiled appreciatively. "Thank you. I really am sorry for all this." He said and left the room leaving Sydney alone yet again.

"What do you mean there aren't any security cameras?" Vaughn snapped angrily.
"They were disabled. Whoever took Agent Bristow aren't amateurs. They know what they're doing. Which brings us back to the conclusion that the Covenant took her." Dixon said patiently to Vaughn.
"Then how the hell did they know where our safe house is? They couldn't have..." Vaughn trailed off, the realization slowly dawning on him.
"We have a mole. And it's someone who has clearance to attend briefings." Dixon said, saying what Vaughn was thinking.
"Do a search as quickly as possible. We need Sydney back quickly!" Vaughn snapped. Dixon didn't appreciate Vaughn acting like the Director, but he knew he was right.
"I'll get a professional in here by the end of the week. Hopefully we can catch the mole and bring Sydney back unharmed." Dixon said, not quite satisfying Vaughn, but winning him over for the time being. At least SOMEONE would get arrested who deserved it. He just hoped it wasn't someone he was close to. Little did he know just how close to home he had guessed. Literally.
A/N: This is sort of a turning point. You'll see why next chapter. But you gotta review first! They are greatly appreciated!!
