"She's coming here!" Irina shrieked into the telephone. "Can't you stop her?"

Jack's voice raised in anger, "She's not five years old anymore. Sydney does what she wants and right now she wants to track him down and probably kill him. If I tried to stop her she would know that something was off!"

"But – " Irina sputtered.

A soft hand was placed on her shoulder, calming her anger, "Just let her come. We'll tell her the truth and if she still wants to kill me, she can."

"But Sark," Irina said, softly.

"It'll all work out, one way or another," Sark said, confidently. But inside he was shaking. Sydney was going to kill him, there would be no convincing her.

"Alright," Irina said. Turning back to the phone, she said, "Jack, don't bother trying to stop her. Are you sure they know where we are?"

Jack nodded, "It was in the briefing. But Sydney won't be the only problem. Vaughn volunteered for the mission as well."

Sark could have laughed if it wouldn't have come out as bitter. Vaughn had stepped right back into Sydney's life, despite his marriage. So much for planning on his high sense of morality. He'd have to mention to Lauren that she was losing her touch, and her husband.
