The Mission Part2
On the deck Sydney stood over the patrolling guard she had just taken out after sneaking up on him from behind and threw him overboard. Then she attacked the driver with a blow to his head, knocking him out before he'd even realised she was there.
Carefully she went below the deck. Slowly making her way through the small corridor she came to the room with Melissa Taylor and the unknown man. As the door was open she couldn't get too close. She had to get nearer.
Going back on deck she removed the concealed microphone necklace from around her neck and switched on her CIA radio.
"Base Ops do you copy?"
"Mermaid, we copy loud and clear. Get out of there now Mermaid, that's an order. The person talking to Melissa is Olivier Gerard. Get out now!" Vaughn sounded panicked.
"I'm nearly done Base Ops. I'll be five minutes tops." Sydney replied calmly.
"No Sy…Mermaid, you have to leave now. It's too dangerous; Olivier Gerard is head of the Russian NRK. Leave now!"
"I'll be out in less than five minutes. Just tell me this, is it possible for you to intercept my SD6 communication?"
"Yes, we have the frequency here. What are you planning?"
"I don't have much time, just intercept the feed and I'll talk to you soon."
"OK, but I can't…" Before he could say anymore she turned the radio off and instantly turned on her SD6 radio.
"Dixon, do you copy?"
"I'm here Sydney. Before you say anything I have to let you know I am entirely against this whole mission."
"I know Dixon but I won't be much longer. I'm going to remove the microphone from my necklace and get it into that room so you will have audio. I'll be able to hear you but you won't hear me."
"Syd, I know I've said this before but be careful."
"I will." With that she palmed the microphone and edged towards Melissa Taylor and Olivier Gerard.
Standing outside the door Sydney squatted with her back against the wall and slid the microphone across the floor where it came to a stop just behind Gerard. Good, they should be able to hear clearly from there.
As she stood up and turned to leave the boat's driver came up behind her and dealt her a perfectly aimed blow to her head, knocking her unconscious instantly.
Everything that happened next was a blur.
"…a knife, take it." She heard Melissa say and felt a tug on her ankle. "Use it on the bags of…" Sydney drifted out again.
Waking up again she heard a man's voice, "…start the boat Tom. We're nearly finished here. Look she's awake." She felt liquid being poured into her mouth and was forced to swallow. Whisky? She thought weakly before drifting into unconsciousness again.
