-In Algeria

"We're looking for a man named Albert Hyman. He's the last known owner of the 9th key. He's staying at Hotel Baroco. We'll interrogate him first, then we'll see where we go from there." Simon said looking out the window of the car they were in.

"How are we getting in?" Syd asked.

"We're simply going in." Simon answered.

"No cover? No alias?" she asked.

"Just guns." he said. "Listen, Julia... about last night..."

"Don't, just forget about it." she replied.

"I didn't mean to offend you, I just couldn't resist." he finished anyway.

"I don't like surprises, so next time... resist." she said dryly. Simon laughed while Sydney continued to study the blueprints of the hotel.

"I hope this won't affect our work together... you know the sexual tension." Simon added.

"Believe me, it won't." she replied. "What room is he in?"

"Third floor, room 1359." he answered.

"I think we should go in from the basement, we can take the elevator to the third floor from there. There are no camera's from the basement, we can disable the camera's on the third floor from this room in the basement." she said pointing to the blueprints. Simon glanced over and nodded.

" It should be an easy job. Are you sure that there isn't any added security?"

"Babe, I'm sure... I was assured that this is a no-brainer." he said.

"I hope you're right." she replied.

"What, you don't trust me?" Simon asked taking his eyes off the road for a moment to look at her. She simply looked at him and shook her head. "That hurts baby."

They drove for a while longer, all the while Sydney kept studying the blueprints while Simon stared at her from time to time.

"Alright babe, we're here, you can stop ignoring me now." Simon said as he stopped the car.

Sydney simply stepped out of the car with her gun in one hand and walked toward the back entrance of the hotel, Simon following right behind her.

"This should lead us to the security room, according to the information you provided there shouldn't be any surveillance here. This doesn't seem a bit too easy to you?" she said to him as she looked at the unsecured door.

"Babe, does everything have to be complicated with you? It's an easy job, just take it like it is. We go in, we go bang bang with our guns and get the information we came here for."

"Fine." she said. She opened the door and surveyed the room. It was empty. Simon walked past her and into the room that held all of the hotel's security systems. She heard shots and then Simon stepped out of the room and looked at her.

"Come on babe, are you gonna stand there all day?" Simon asked. Sydney simply stared at him and then at his gun.

"It's a tranq gun babe, I'm not going to bring any unnecessary attention." he told her.

"Did you disable the security cameras?" she asked.

"I'm a professional, of course I did." he said.

"Then let's go." she said as she walked past him. They walked to the elevator and went to the third floor. When the doors opened several men stood outside waiting for them, all with guns pointed at them.

"No-brainer, huh?" Sydney said turning to look at Simon.

"Perhaps I was misinformed." he said.
