story has a lot more to go. Hope you enjoy Chapter 2. Please keep those
reviews coming. Sorry this chapter is so short but I've got other fan fics
going and of course school.
Sydney took one last look in the mirror. She was trying to cover up the fact that she had been crying. It was not easy. She was putting the finishing touches to her make-up as the lift doors opened. She took a deep breath as she stepped into the world of SD-6.
Jack noticed Sydney had been crying as she entered the room. No doubt about Vaughn being taken off her case. Jack had not liked Vaughn when he first meet him and continued to dislike him now. Sydney had become much to attached to the man and Jack had always suspected that Vaughn had felt a great lot more for Sydney than friendship. The resent accusation had confirmed this. He wanted to comfort Sydney but knew he could not. He watched her as she took a seat.
Sydney scanned the room wishing she were anywhere but here. Sloane and a younger man walked into the room. She noticed her dad tense up. Sloane stood at the head of the table and waited for the room to be silent. It didn't take long.
"I'd like to introduce Mr Veitch to you all. He will be taking my place for the next few days while I am away."
Sydney watched Mr Veitch as Sloane talked. He was no older than herself Sydney decided. He was tall and seemed out of place in the small room. He had dark hair but the thing that stood out the most to Sydney was his eyes, they were a brilliant green and his glasses made them stand out more. He suddenly turned to face her and Sydney quickly looked away. She tuned back into what Sloane was saying.
"I hope things run smoothly while I'm away and that you make Mr Veitch feel welcome. That is all. Sydney and Dixon could you please stay behind."
Sydney stayed seated as she watched everyone leave the room. Marshall stayed behind and Sydney suddenly realised they were sending her on a mission. Sloane waited until the room was clear before speaking.
"While I am away you will be sent on a mission. Mr Veitch will be in charge and so I pass this meeting on to him."
Sloane left the room and Mr Veitch started to speak. It was the first time he had spoken since entering the room. His voice had a faint accent but Sydney couldn't place it.
"Due to Intel we have received we now know that James Miteck had a partner, Mark Paris, with whom he shared all his transactions. He is staying in a hotel in Hawaii. We believe he is trying to continue the work without Mr Miteck. Your mission is similar to the one before, to find out what they were working on. There is a large party of people staying at the hotel for a convention. Sydney, you will be a part of that group while Dixon will be dressed as one of the bellboys. Dixon will take Sydney out of the group before they leave for the convention. Sydney will then head for Mr Paris's room. Dixon meanwhile will keep an eye on Mr Paris."
He then handed the meeting over to Marshall so that he could explain his gadgets. Sydney tried to pay attention but couldn't. All she could think about was her next meeting with Weiss, and how she was dreading it.
