Chapter 5: The mission

Sydney made her way up the steps of the building to Marvin Karvelo's house. She made it to a small door to the left of the building..

"Dixon I'm in." She said into her headset.

She started to walk down a long passageway that lead into the main part of the building. The house was big and had ivy growing on the outside of it. She made it round a corner when a set of three guards launched their attack. One of them grabbed Sydney flipping her over, but she was too quick and gave the guard a punch in the face and stomach sending him to the ground, motionless. The other guard ran in and did a round of kicks at Sydney's face. She stumbled backwards holding her jaw where a large bruise was forming.

"You Son of a btch!" She shouted and smashed the guard in the face with her foot.

He staggered backwards, lip and nose bleeding. She kicked him again and used her lipstick to send him to sleep. A round of kicks was given to the third guard and he soon fell to the floor too.

"Dixon I've knocked out three guards. I'm making my way deeper into the house."

"Copy that. Be careful Syd."

Sydney made it deeper into the house looking for the Rambaldi scrolls. She came to a dead end where only a door was. Using her credit card she swiped the door, opened it and went inside. The room was filled with ornaments of Chinese and Russian origin. She began to search through the ornaments looking for the Rambaldi scrolls. Hidden at the back of a table was a large box and inside the Rambaldi scrolls. Sydney quickly snatched them and ran out the door just as Marvin came around the corner.

"What are you doing here?" He asked her.

Sydney who was dressed in a blonde wig and dress said "I am your new personal servant. I was cleaning up and found these."

"You leave those alone." Marvin ordered "And I didn't call for a servant to be brought here."

"I'm the best. I will clean your rooms and do your laundry for you if you want."

Marvin glared "I don't need your help servant girl. Now leave me alone."

"As you wish." Sydney replied and started to walk away.

Marvin came up behind her and grabbed her arm.

"Give me the scrolls first. What would a servant girl want with those?"

"What would you want with those?" Sydney replied, coldly.

"Give me the scrolls!" Marvin shouted and pulled out a knife from his pocket.

"It's either you give me the scrolls or I stab you to death servant girl."

Sydney wasted no time and pushing off from the wall gave Marvin around of kicks to his face and stomach. He recovered quickly and kicked Sydney in the stomach, winding her. She staggered backwards trying to catch her breath. He lunged at her as she kicked and punched him. He grabbed her and threw her against the wall. Sydney sat dazed for a moment and when she stood up Marvin sunk the knife into her arm. She flinched in pain and managed to grab the knife off him, sinking it into his body. He fell dead to the floor, a look of terror on his face.

"Dixon I have the scrolls. I'm heading back."

"Good work Syd." Dixon replied.

Sydney made it home in the early hours of the morning exhausted. She quietly opened the door to her house and went inside. She found Vaughn sound asleep on the sofa. She made it into the kitchen and flicked on the light, looking around for some tea bags for a cup of tea. She made some tea and heard Vaughn stir as she walked back into the living room.

"Syd?" He called out, sleepily.

"Its me." Sydney replied and went to the sofa and sat down next to him.

"How was your mission?" He asked her as he kissed her on the lips.

"Tough but okay."

Vaughn smiled and then noticed the cut on Sydney's arm that was bleeding and dripping blood down her dress.

"Syd what happened to your arm?"

"Its nothing. Just got sliced with a knife." Sydney replied.

"It doesn't look nothing to me." Vaughn said "Let me get a bandage."

"I'm fine, really." Sydney protested.

"Let me play Doctor Vaughn."

Sydney signed

"Okay you win."

Vaughn went and got a bandage and some antiseptic wipes from the first aid cupboard in the bathroom. He came back and sat down next to Sydney.

"This may sting." He said, applying the wipe to Sydney's cut.

She flinched slightly.

"I did warn you."

He placed the bandage over the cut.

"There good as new. Are you hurt anywhere else?"

"We'll apart from this bruise on my face. I'm fine."

"Do you want an ice pack?" Vaughn asked her, concerned

"No I'll be fine. Let's go to bed. Okay?"

Vaughn nodded.

"Mummy!" Madi shouted jumping on the bed where her Mother was sleeping.

"Mummy!" Madi shouted again.

Sydney turned over and sighed.

"Go back to sleep Madi. I want to sleep some more."

Madi tugged at her Mother's arm.

"Up Mummy! Up!" She called again.

She managed to half drag Sydney out of the bed.

"Come on Mummy remember you and Daddy promised to take me to the Zoo today. Have you forgotten?"

Sydney eyes shot open. She hadn't been thinking about the Zoo due to the missions she had been on.

"Oh God. Its today." Sydney jumped out of bed and put her fluffy slippers on.

"Daddy is making pancakes Mummy." Madi said as she went to hug Sydney.

"That's great because I'm starving!"

Madi looked at Sydney's face.

"What happened to your face Mummy?" She asked her.

"Nothing you need to worry about Sweetheart Head downstairs and help Daddy with breakfast okay?"

"Yep!" Madi said, exited.

After they had ate their breakfast they made there way to the Zoo.

"I want to see the tigers first." Madi shouted as they went through the entrance.

"Let's look at the monkey's first. They are just over her." Sydney suggested.

Madi pouted her lips "I want to see the tigers!" She cried.

"In a moment Sweetheart." Vaughn said.

They went over to see a group of monkey's swinging in the trees and eating bananas.

Madi tried to copy what the monkeys were doing and made monkey noises.

"I want to be a monkey." Madi said "I can eat and sit in the trees all day. I wouldn't have to go to school."

Sydney smiled "Maybe we should put you in there. I'm sure you'd fit in."

Vaughn laughed and pointed "Yeah Madi can sit over there."

Madi growled at her parents.

"Now can we see the tigers?" Madi asked after a few minutes.

Sydney nodded.

"Now we can see the tigers."

They began to walk over to the tiger enclosure when something caught Sydney's eyes. A person was sitting over by the red panda enclosure. Sydney thought she recognised the person. The person moved and Sydney's face turned chalk white.
