Chapter 15

The CIA's jet sat in the middle of the runway waiting for clearance to take off. Both of the occupants beaming with exuberance. Knowing that both of them were the happiest they had been in a long time.

Irina by having her children around and at least accepting her. And Sydney for finally having her family surrounding her.

"So Mom, What are you planning to do know you've got your pardon?"

"Well Sweetheart, if I don't mind, I'm planning to stay on in LA. Seeing I finally got that chance to get to know each other again."

"That's great. But where are you going to stay? The CIA won't let you stay in there safe house. My spare room is at you disposal."

"Thank. Might take you up on that."

A sound came from the direction of the cockpit. Sydney went over to investigate. She noticed a person standing near the door, their back towards her. She reached over and tapped the person on the shoulder.

"Excuse me but all ground crew have supposed to have left by now."

"It thanks to you actually. See your Rambaldi information saved more than once."

"I'm trying to understand something here. I know why you want Sark back considering his money is funding your organisation. But my sister what has she done to warrant this?"

"Well we appreciate people who are willing to sell out their family."

With the mention of the betrayal, Irina removed the gun and deftly shot Alison.

"Nice Shot Mom"

"We'll have a chance to discuss my marksmanship later. But I think we have a small problem with that bomb that is attached to the plane. You see I want a few words with Alison when we get back. And that's not going to happen if we get blown up."

Sydney pulled out her cell phone and speed dialled.

"Okay Marshall. We've......"
