Chapter 6- Some Answers
"Kendall! Kendall, we need to talk now," Jack shouted as Director Kendall walked across the Rotunda.
"Mr. Bristow! You're becoming too emotionally involved in this. I am afraid I have to take you off the France case," Kendall retorted as he spun around to face Jack. "I want to let you know that we are doing everything we can to find Agent Brist-," Kendall was cut off by an angry Jack.
"I am not coming to you about my daughter, even though that is in the front of my mind. I am coming to you about Agent Eric Weiss. One of his contacts in Baltimore said that he has been covering up for Agent Weiss for over 3 months now. He is confessing to the CIA as a bargaining chip.
"The contact has told us that Agent Weiss has been contacting him from La Glacerie, France. He told us that Weiss is with another person, a woman. The contact didn't get a name but we've pinpointed a location. We're waiting on your call, Mr. Kendall," Jack said in a completely professional voice.
"Prep a team. We're going in," Kendall said, after a pause.
Eric Weiss walked from the small room in the warehouse in La Glacerie, France. He walked toward where Lauren Reed was currently holding captive a mysterious man spying on them in the restaurant.
When he found them Lauren was just getting up and the man bound by chains was knocked out cold.
Eric looked at her curiously and asked, "What have you found out about this goon so far?"
Lauren smiled and returned happily, "Everything we need to know. The man works for K-Directorate. His name is Will Tippen."
Eric was shocked at this news and looked at Lauren skeptically.
"Are you sure," he asked with noticeable shock in his voice.
"Yes, positive. The serum never fails… Why, what's wrong?" she questioned with interest.
"Nothing. Nothing at all. Just making sure you're sure," he laughed nervously.
All of a sudden the recognizable crack and pop of a smoke grenade was heard from their position in the warehouse. What happened next caused both Lauren and Eric to dive in opposite ways from the white smoke quickly filling the room.
"EVERYBODY FREEZE!" These screams were heard from the doorway. Then several footsteps were heard raiding the building. Eric knew that this was all CIA protocol and quickly got to his feet and said, "Wait! Wait, you don't know what you're doing!"
Jack Bristow came over and said, "Eric Weiss, you are under arrest for committing treason against your country!"
"Wait! It's not what you think! Come over here and have a look for yourself," Eric yelled back.
At this, he lead them over to the chair where Will was being held and showed them the man being held.
"For the past three and a half months, I have been tracking this man. Tonight, I caught him and brought him back to this warehouse and interrogated him. I had to slip him some truth serum to find out the truth and I did just that, find out the truth. I found out that he works for K-Directorate. I didn't want to tell anyone at the CIA what I was trying to do. No one would have believed me. I had my suspicions and I followed them. Looks like I was right," Weiss was saying breathlessly.
Jack stared down at Weiss with no expression and finally said, "Well, we're going to have to bring you in for questioning. You know the drill." With that, Jack slipped the handcuffs on Weiss and led him off. At this time another agent that was in on the raid came over to Jack and said, "We've got Tippen. The other men searched the rest of the building. It's clean, there's no one else here."
Sydney slowly opened her eyes, but immediately shut them. It was too bright… the light in her eyes it was too bright. She kept them closed but decided to talk to Vaughn anyway. "Vaughn, this is too much. Sark… he can't really be FBI, or CIA, or whatever the hell he is. Vaughn, tell me this is all a dream."
A familiar, yet unfamiliar, voice answered her back, "What I can tell you is that whatever you just said was a dream. However, unfortunately, I am not Vaughn."
Oh God, she thought to herself, it was all a dream. I really was captured by Sark. She tried to move her hands from the back of the cold, steel chair. They were bound to it with handcuffs. Her feet as well were fastened with handcuffs to the legs of the chair.
"Do you have Dixon too," she asked, opening her eyes and looking up at Sark.
Sark smiled and replied, "Yes, I do. My hopes are that you cooperate unlike your partner."
Sydney, now more aware of what is going on, looks at Sark and smiles back, "Well, my hopes are that you don't kill me."
Sark immediately looks at Sydney and says, "If it comes to that, I, of course, have nothing to lose. But you my friend, you do have something to lose. Now what I want to know is what you know about the Covenant."
Sydney looked at Sark sarcastically. "That seems like a rhetorical question," she said almost laughing.
"Why is that," he asked curiously. "Does Sloane think that I work for the Covenant? If that is so, then he is unfortunately wrong."
"Then it looks like I know nothing of value to you about the Covenant," Sydney said and then looked down, pulling at the cuffs.
"I would like to believe that Ms. Bristow, but regrettably, I am able to contest that," Sark said professionally. He glanced at the guard and gave him a quick nod. Sydney braced herself for a hit to the head, but did not get what she was expecting. The guard simply turned around, walked to a steel table housing a computer and a bunch of files and grabbed one of the folders. He walked over and gave it to Sark. Sark opened the folder and showed the picture inside to Sydney. It was a picture of Eric Weiss, the man that had met Sark back at the restaurant.
Sark then pulled the folder away and looked at the picture himself for a moment. Then he looked up at Sydney and said, "I know who you work for. I know you are currently employed at SD-6 and that you also work for the CIA as a double agent inside SD-6. I know that this man also works for the CIA and that you, in fact, know him. Now tell me everything you know about the Covenant and I won't have to make that call to Sloane, bringing to his knowledge your false allegiance with SD-6."
Sydney, now with a look of true dread in her eyes, looked at Sark and said, "I swear to you, I didn't know he was Covenant until I saw him meet with you at the restaurant. I swear… Please just don't call Sloane."
With that, Sark whipped out his cell phone and dialed a number. "May I please speak to Arvin Sloane?"
