Authors Note: Thanks once again to my beta reader aqua. The next chapter
may take awhile as I'm going overseas for a few weeks with my school so I
apologise. Please review as I live off them.
The sun shone down, burning Sydney's back as she waited for Dixon's signal by the pool. Sydney hadn't slept well and Mark Paris being late wasn't helping her headache. "He should have left by now." Sydney said into her mouthpiece.
"He's coming out of his apartment now, your clear to go Sydney."
"Okay Dixon. Good luck."
"Good luck yourself." Sydney pushed away the bad feeling that had settled in her stomach as she headed up the stairs towards Mark's room.
Dixon watched Mark as he took a seat in the sun. He was talking to someone on his mobile and he didn't look happy. Dixon smiled to himself this would be easy as long as he stayed on the phone. He was about to sit down in the shade himself when a small Asian woman bumped into him spilling her drink.
"Oh I'm sorry. What a klutz I am."
"It's fine," he answered as he helped her. He looked up to notice that Mark had disappeared. He swore under his breath as he pushed past the Asian woman. He started looking around hoping to spot Mark before he had to alert Sydney.
"Looking for me?" A voice behind him said. But before he could turn around everything went black.
Sydney was looking through Mark's luggage when she heard the gun shot. She ran to the window and looked out over the pool. People were screaming and running everywhere. Sydney searched the crowd looking for Dixon. Then she saw him he was laying on the ground with a pool of blood beneath him. Sydney gasped. Her body froze, and everything seemed to stop. She watched as three men moved towards Dixon. She willed herself to move and grabbed her bag ready to run but when she turned around she saw three men in black waiting for her, blocking the doorway.
Weiss looked at the clock for the third time. Sydney hadn't dropped off the package and none of the agents had seen her in the past hour.
"Agent Weiss, Devlin wants to see you in his office," Weiss's secretary told him.
Great his first mission with Sydney and he had lost her. Devlin was not going to be pleased. "Okay thanks Cindy." Weiss spat his gum in the wastepaper basket and headed to Devlin's office.
"Sir, sir," Marshall ran into Mr Veitch's office panting.
Mr Veitch resisted the urge to shoot the annoying tech man. "What is the matter?"
"There have been reports of shooting at the hotel. The backup team are going in. There has been no communication from Sydney or Dixon in the past hour."
"Right keep me informed." Mr Veitch turned back towards the computer screen.
"Sir do you want me to inform Sloane?
"No there isn't any reason to inform him yet."
"But."
"That will be all Marshall." Mr Veitch waited until Marshall left the room before picking up the phone and dialling. "We have her sir."
"Good. Make sure Sloane isn't notified."
"Already taken care of."
"Good work. You'll get your money as soon as she arrives."
Mr Veitch hung up the phone and went back to work.
Sydney awoke in a small dank room. Memories from the past few hours flooded into her head. Sydney sat up quickly and immediately fell down. Her head was spinning.
"I'd rest if I were you," a voice from her left said.
Sydney turned to see a guard watching her. "Where am I? And where is my partner?"
The guard stared at her awhile before answering. "You'll find out soon enough."
He then turned around and left the room, and Sydney heard the bolt slide into place as he locked the door.
Vaughn awoke to a loud banging. He soon realised it was someone at the door. He groaned as he got up to answer it. He opened the door to find Weiss standing there. "What are you doing here? Do you know what time it is?"
"Sydney's missing."
Those two words immediately woke Vaughn up as he let Weiss in. "What do you mean missing?"
"She missed the drop off point and Jack contacted us telling us that shots were fired and the backup team couldn't find her or Dixon. Apparently Sloane's replacement is not doing much."
"Where was she?"
"In Hawaii. Apparently James Miteck had a partner Mark Paris. The mission was to get any information he had on Khasinau."
"What do you know about Mark Paris?"
"Well not much there wasn't anything on the database about him. Mr Veitch, the replacement, found out about him."
"Vaughn ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. "What about the replacement? What do you know about him?"
"He was sent down from The Alliance. Why?"
"He was the one to come up with this new mission along with the information about Mark Paris." Vaughn cursed.
"Devlin wants your help Mike. You're the best when it comes to Sydney."
Vaughn couldn't believe his ears. "Give me a minute I'll come in with you."
He watched as the two agents came out of the apartment building. "Got them," he said into the radio.
"Follow them, do not lose them."
"Yes sir."
