"I'm sorry to interrupt." Weiss said opening the door slightly. "Dixon need us for a briefing now." He closed the door quickly before Sydney could respond.
"Damn it," Sydney sighed.
"We can continue this later, if that's what you still want." Jack said softly as he stood.
"This was never what I wanted. This is what you wanted. This is about what you did." Sydney said picking up her papers and walking away.
As she walked into the light of the rotunda she took a deep breath. She saw Vaughn across the way and gave him a weak-half smile. Dixon waved them into the conference room, and she entered begrudgingly.
"First of all I just want to say that I am glad to have this team back together." He looked to Sydney and Vaughn. "I hope everyone is well rested. Right now we are shifting focus. The Covenant has been severely crippled by the loss of Lauren Reed and Sloane as contacts. We however have not escaped the damage caused by these two. Sloane and Nadia Santos have gone underground, and we are going to find them." Dixon looked to Jack before continuing "One of the better results of Sydney's mission to Palermo was the capture of Katya Derevko, who is believed to be working for the Covenant. She is in our custody but has yet to be questioned. Sydney she says she will only talk to you." Dixon slowly looked over to Sydney.
Before Sydney could respond Jack interrupted. "I don't think I have to say it, but I do not believe this is a good idea."
"Afraid she tell me something I'm not supposed to hear." Sydney quipped.
"Sydney, the woman is obviously deranged. She stabbed Vaughn, almost shot you, what more do you need to know." Jack said his voice flaring.
"Katya knows more about Sloane and Nadia than we do right now. That makes her valuable to us, Maybe not to you." Sydney said standing. She looked to Dixon "I'll do it."
"Fine." Dixon said inclining his head. "In the mean time the rest of you need to be working with analysis. I want Nadia and Sloane found, yesterday." With that the group disbanded. Sydney and Vaughn were the last to move, and Vaughn pulled Sydney aside after the room was empty.
"Do you really think this is a good idea?" He said softly.
"Vaughn I interrogated my own mother, Katya's nothing." Sydney said with a hint to pain.
"I know that, but Syd…" Vaughn started.
"Why are you questioning me on this?" Sydney accused with a pained look.
"Sydney I'm not questioning you." Vaughn retorted. He took a moment and sighed. "Look the woman tried to kill us both, okay. I just don't know that I could do it." He said touching her arm.
Sydney sighed and then looked up at him. "I'll be fine." She said forcefully.
"Good, coffee first?" He said with a smile.
Sydney thought about it for a moment before nodding with a smile.
