Undeniable Love ch. 3
Summary: Irina and Jack have had their differences, but when they locked in an elevator together, what will happen?
A/N: I don't like Vaughn. I never have and probably never will. So in this story he's not the good guy. But it's up to you, the readers, to pick which fine young man Sydney will end up with. Sark, Weiss, Will, a fictional character that you want me to make up and his name is hogwash. It really doesn't matter. But if nobody responds to this, Sydney ends up all by her lonesome and I'm pretty sure you don't want that to happen. So get to replying who you want to end up with Sydney. Now on to the story:
When Jack arrived at the restaurant promptly at 7:30, he was directed to a back table in the restaurant where Irina was already waiting for him.
"Hello Jack. You know for a minute there I almost thought you weren't going to show up."
"And deny you of my presence? I don't think so."
Jack replied as he sat down in his chair across from his wife. He took in what she was wearing and was hoping that he was obstructing other men's views. Irina was wearing a tight fitting red dress that seemed to exemplify her sexiness. To Jack, all it gave him was a hard-on that he knew he would have to hide for the rest of the night.
"So. How was your flight?"
"Instead of the pleasantries Irina, I want to get something out of the way first. I have two questions that need answering before anything else happens."
"Oh come on Jack. This is the first time you've seen me in three years and all you have to say to me is that you have questions? I have questions, but you don't see me in your face telling you that you have to answer them now do you?"
"Fine. But before this night is over, you will answer them."
"Fine."
"Fine? That's it?"
"Yes."
"I want you to promise me."
"And since when have my promises meant anything to you?"
"Since I learned that you always keep a promise. So just do it."
"Fine. I promise."
"Okay."
"You know Jack, I'm curious. I told you over the phone that I have something very important to tell you and yet you have not asked me about it yet. Why is that?"
"I was getting to that. First I needed to make sure that you would answer those two questions by the end of the night. By the way, what is it that you wanted to tell me so badly?"
"You have a mole in the CIA."
"Already taken care of. It was Lauren Reed. Vaughn shot and killed her and ended up saving Sydney's life. Now Vaughn and our daughter are dating again. Not that I like it. "
"Ironically, that wasn't who I was talking about. But don't worry Jack, you won't have to stand him much longer."
"There's another mole in the CIA?"
"Yes."
"Who is it?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me."
"The mole is Michael Vaughn Jack. Although Lauren Reed was Covenant and she was the mole that was giving you so much trouble, Vaughn has apparently working with Sloane the whole time."
"You're right, I don't believe you."
"Jack, have I ever lied to you about anything regarding Sydney's well being?"
"No."
"Well then believe me when I tell you this Jack. She needs to get away from him before she ends up getting hurt."
"I don't understand Irina. Why would he do that? And of all people Sloane?"
"He would do that to get to me. His hatred runs so deep for me that it clogs his brain. He doesn't even love Sydney. He's using her to get to me. What other way to take a person down and destroy their lives if not by their child? And to your Sloane question, it's because Sloane promised him my head."
With that Jack sighed. He trusted Irina with his life, and especially with their daughter's. It hurt him that he didn't go with his gut instinct on Vaughn in the first place. Now Sloane had the upper hand, and that's never a good thing.
"Irina, I trust that you're right. And if Vaughn is working for the other side, we're completely screwed. He has access to files that Sloane could use to get to almost anybody on the planet."
"Jack, I know that you're not going to like this suggestion, but I'm going to say it anyway. We kill Vaughn and then go after Sloane using Vaughn's trail. He had to have left one because he's not that bright anyway."
"No Irina. We have to destroy him the way he has destroyed me, and Sydney for that matter. I just don't get why he hasn't gotten it over with yet. Hurting her, I mean. He's had so many opportunities."
"He's waiting."
"For what?"
"He wants to kill me in front of Sydney. That way she can feel the pain of losing me like he felt the pain of losing his father. Although I doubt that she'd feel any pain. She'd probably want to help."
"That's not true Irina. She loves you. Your relationship with her is even more completed than my relationship with her. Your relationship is all about tough love. Besides, Sloane is involved with this somehow so it can't be that easy. How did you find that out anyway?"
"I have my sources."
"Like Katya?"
"I'm warning you Jack, don't you ever talk about my sister in front of me again. I'm still not over what you did with her."
"Oh and like I'm over what you did with Arvin? Not only did you have an affair, but it was when I loved you more than anything else on the planet. It was when I knew you as Laura, and not as Irina."
"I see Jack, so you only love me when I let you have sex with me is that it?"
Irina abruptly stood up and stormed out of the restaurant with Jack on her heels. She was thinking about the year they spent together and how it meant absolutely nothing to him. He was thinking about why he had acted like such a jackass. Irina took a sharp right into a hotel and walked right into an open elevator. As the doors were closing Jack slipped right in. The elevator started moving before she could kick him out. Suddenly, the elevator stopped moving.
"What was that?"
"I don't know Jack, do I look like an electrician?"
The lights went out and both guessed that the electricity was shut down. The lights came back on within seconds and Jack picked up the phone in the elevator.
"The phone doesn't work."
"Well why don't you try the latch on top?"
"Why don't you?"
"Because I'm in a dress."
"Fine."
Jack surveyed the latch and concluded that you actually needed a screwdriver to open it. Russians, Jack thought to himself. He took out his keys and tried using one to open the latch.
Clink"What was that Jack?"
"The latch just broke when I tried to open it. It's jammed shut."
"That's great. Now I'm stuck in here with you."
"Well if it makes you feel any better, I'm stuck in here with you."
Irina sat down on one end of the elevator and Jack sat down across from her.
"So you wanted to know about the passenger Jack?"
"Yes. She's yours and Sloane's child as I have found out."
"Well Jack I am related to her, but I'm not her mother."
A/N: I hope you liked it. And PLEASE REVIEW. Vote on Sydney by the way.
