We're Not Responsible
Chapter 3 – Killing Past Part II - Sydney...
Sydney carried Anneliese on her hip as she walked onto her set for pictures for her VAIN album. She knew Skylar would kill her for adding their six month old daughter, but she didn't care. Skylar was really getting to be a pain in the ass. Since he was forty, she was thirty-eight; they weren't married or dating, and they both had separate jobs with nothing in common anymore.
"Okay, Sydney. You and Anneliese all ready?" the photographer, Devin, asked. Sydney looked at the baby in her arms, playing with her diamond necklace. She smiled as Anneliese gurgled and nodded, laughing, "Yes Devin. Very ready. Right, Anneliese?" She squealed at the top of her lungs with a big toothless smile.
Ever since Sydney had gotten pregnant, Devin was there for her for anything and everything. They were very close. His wife had died young. She was only twenty-one when she died. They had been married for a year. He lost her and had gone into depression. But when he met Sydney, she changed everything and he fell in love. Sydney soon fell in love with Devin as well. Even if he was older than her. She didn't care anymore. She just wanted to be with him. But didn't really realize it until her pregnancy.
Sydney placed Anneliese in a gentle cradle and stared down at her, one foot dipped in front of her body and her weight leaning on her back leg. "Beautiful," Devin said, snapping some pictures of Sydney as she changed different positions with her little baby.
"Devin..." Sydney interrupted, nodding her head towards someone behind him. He turned around and took a letter handed to him. He looked at it, "It's for you." She walked over to him and took it. He took Anneliese and she opened the envelope.
Dear Miss Sydney Drew,
Please come to the SPD academy. All will be explained when you get there.
Sydney sighed, "Devin, can you handle Anneliese on your own?"
