Chapter 11
Sydney where are you? How long does it take to pick up some clothes? Probably got held up talking to Vaughn. For a spy her emotions were to easy to read.. But at least her Vaughn even after everything that has happened have found each other again. If only me and Jack could do that...
"Hey Mom" Sydney said walking to the house.
"What took you so long?" Amusement was etched around Irina's mouth. "Held up by something or someone?"
"Very Funny. Actually I just got a call from Vaughn. Dixon go him to ask me if I could bring me in."
"Why, why do they want me in? There not gonna put me back into custody are they? They can't, I can't go back there. To be in captivity again "
"No Mom" Sydney rushed towards Irina and grabbed hold of her trying to stop her shaking. "They just want to talk to you about Nadia with you, that's all. Dixon's not a cruel man, he understands what you've been through. That I want you around as well. To see you everyday like normal people do, have dinner whatever. Not through the bars of a cell, the CIA monitoring everything we say. There's nothing to worry about I'm here and nobody's gonna get to you again."
Irina relaxed into Sydney's arm sated by her words. "Just Nadia, Nothing else, not what has happened"
"Just Nadia. What you know about her, we even have some pictures and information about her so at least you can know something about her even if you haven't had a chance to meet yet."
"Okay I'm ready" Irina said, her game face securely back in place, not wanting the CIA to see her fear.
After a short car journey they arrived at the operations centre. Going through the front door they were greeted by less than subtle stares from the receptionist when Sydney went over there to collect identification for Irina.
When they walked away, Irina leant over and whispered to Sydney.
"I think I know what her problem is. She was the receptionist the day I announced myself as a walk in."
Sydney chuckled slightly "She was there the day I announced myself as well!"
Irina laughed out loud and Sydney joined her. "That poor woman, accosted by both of us like that."
Just then Vaughn came alongside "What's so funny?" He asked#
"Nothing just something about a receptionist and walk ins." Sydney replied
Vaughn's face showed a look of confusion which made Irina and Sydney laugh even harder.
"Ahh, Sydney, Miss Derevko" Dixon greeted "If you could join me in my office please."
Irina and Sydney followed him into the office.
"Thank you for coming in. If I could just have a quick word about Nadia to you please." Dixon addressed to Irina. At the moment Sydney's cell began to ring so she quickly excused herself from the room to answer.
"Hello?"
"Sydney, it's me"
"Nadia, where are you?"
"Why?"
"Because Mom's here. She wants to meet you.
"Mom's in LA? But I thought she couldn't enter the country.
"Look don't worry about that. Can we arrange to meet somewhere, you, me and Mom?
"Fine, considering I do want to meet her. I'll be in England for a few days with Dad. How about Canterbury, Kent, 4 PM tomorrow?"
"Thank you." Sydney said then hung up the phone.
Sydney rang back into the office "Mom, Nadia rang. She's agreed to meet us tomorrow."
R/N: Sorry about the Canterbury but. But London's being completely overdone. Anyway it's about time my home town had a bit of limelight.
