Chapter Nine
"Sydney." Lauren whispered in her ear as she lay beside her.
"Hmm?" Sydney replied sleepily.
"Do you still love me?" Lauren asked. "When you were Julia you told me you loved me more than you did Danny. Do you still feel that way?"
Sydney lay still and silent beside her as she thought about her answer. "When I couldn't remember I knew I should hate you for having Vaughn…but inside I felt…I felt like I hated Vaughn more and I didn't know why. Even when I'm supposed to hate you I never stop loving you." Sydney admitted in barely a whisper.
"Would you do anything for me?"
"Yes."
"I want you to lead a team of operatives to break Danny out of CIA custody." Sydney stiffened at the mention of Danny. Lauren's arms wrapped around her to comfort her. "It's ok Syd, we just need some information from him…for the big finale after that we'll be untouchable and we can be together without Danny, Vaughn or Elliot getting in the way." Sydney smiled at the thought of finally being able to settle down and not have her heart be pulled in four different directions.
"I'll do anything for you." She rose to her feet and grabbed her jacket. "There are some things I need from my hotel room. I'll be back in the morning." She kissed Lauren before heading for the door.
"I could send someone to get your things. Stay here with me." Lauren objected. Sydney turned to her with disappointment in her eyes.
"I would do anything for you and yet you can't even bring yourself to trust me."
Lauren sighed and pouted. "I just want you to be with me…"
A sly grin spread over Sydney's lips. "After your plan works we'll have all the time in the world to get reacquainted."
"I'll hold you to that." Lauren smirked before frowning as Sydney left the room.
The next morning both Lauren's organization and the CIA planned their missions for that night. Zac and Elliot sat quietly in the briefing room exchanging guilty looks with Jack. For the three of them their main mission was to be able to remember that Sydney Bristow had died a long time ago and the woman they needed to take out was just another terrorist.
Sydney prepared for her mission with the team she was to lead in to the CIA to steal Daniel Hecht. They were doing it in broad daylight, which was risky, but they needed him before the main mission of the night, otherwise it would fail.
They dressed all in black and covered their faces and after they had all of their gadgets and weaponry they headed to the CIA building which would be full of agents and staff going about their daily routines, including the people Sydney had once considered her friends, now they were nothing more than obstacles to her.
