Chapter Three
It didn't take long for the CIA to find out what Sydney had been up to. Sark was debriefed and Zac was released from police custody. The two men sat in the debriefing room and watched as Jack and Dixon came in accompanied by Kendall.
"We have to warn Elliot…" Zac began but was cut off by Kendall.
"We don't have to do anything. Elliot Gable is no longer part of this agency, she is not our responsibility…"
"Sydney will kill her if she finds out Elliot had anything to do with her fiancé's death." Jack objected. "Elliot Gable betrayed not only this agency buy my trust as her friend and former handler. It's not her I'm concerned for. I don't want my daughter to be a murderer."
"It's not our concern." Kendall scorned. "Elliot defected. Her safety is her concern now. Not ours. Sydney left this organization also, neither woman's safety are our concern anymore."
Zac slammed his hand off the table as he rose from the table. "They were two of our most prized agents and now you've given up on them…"
"They gave up on us." Dixon corrected. "Now they're both on their own."
Elliot Gable had changed in the few months that Sydney had been gone. She wasn't the only one who could snap and turn away from the CIA. She felt warm and soft arms wrap around her as she lay in bed and smiled. "I thought you were asleep."
"You know I can't sleep when you're on a mission." Her lover mumbled into her ear. "What did you find out?"
"Sydney's out for vengeance. She's already been in touch with Danny, Zac and Sark and now she's after me. Her fiancé was killed and she's looking for his killer…Did you…"
Elliot paused in her accusation as she heard her lover sigh. "I've kept a close eye over Sydney, but I did not kill her fiancé." Elliot nodded accepting her word.
"Lauren…you still love her don't you?" Elliot didn't need and an answer to know the truth but Lauren still replied.
"So do you." Elliot nodded. "It's not important though, we're both settling for second best, but second best is still bloody damn good."
"She'll come after both of us when she finds out what we've become." Elliot muttered as they lay in the darkness, a place Elliot had been since finding out that Sydney had known exactly what she was doing as she'd attempted to rape her.
Lauren laughed slightly next to her ear, sending a warm and tickling breeze over it. "Elle the CIA are scared of us, do you really think she can do anything to us now?" Lauren sighed as she realized that Sydney Bristow wasn't part of the CIA anymore, she didn't play by their rules and because of her grief she wouldn't play by any rules but her own.
"I'll increase security." Lauren muttered as she closed her eye to sleep. "I won't let her get near you Elle, she won't hurt you again. I promise."
