10.
At CIA HQ Vaughn and Jack were outlining the mission to a team of operatives. After they hadn't heard from Sydney they had become increasingly worried. Only an hour before they had found details regarding Owens whereabouts. They knew he was local. And now Sydney had activated her alarm alerting them that she was in danger.
"Andrews and Davis aren't replying to their radios." Vaughn informed the group, referring to the two agents posted outside Sydney's apartment. "We suspect they have been out numbered and taken out."
A low murmur came from the team.
"This is what we know: Patrick Owens and Anna Espinosa are working together with a couple of her men." Jack carried on, given a nod to Vaughn indicating for him to hand the pictures he was holding. "Look at these photos and memorise their faces. They are all K-Directorate and are to be considered armed and dangerous."
Once they had finished informing the four CIA agents of the mission they headed to a mini-van with darkened windows that was waiting for them in the HQ car park.
They pulled up a block away from Sydney's apartment. Two of the agents crouched down behind a car parked opposite the door and got in position. The other two got in position under the two front windows, while Vaughn stood on the doorstep. The first thing he noticed was that all the lights were out. Looking around him to make sure everyone was ready he got in position.
Jack came through on the radio embedded in Vaughn's ear. "Vaughn, we're good to go."
Vaughn raised his hand and pressed the doorbell.
