CHAPTER SEVEN
Flashback
Sydney had heard the doorbell ringing and had gotten up to answer. You can imagine her shock when she saw her mother on the other door
"Mom!" She enveloped her into a hug "What are you doing here?"
"I wish I could say it was on better terms," Irina began "I don't have much time to explain, but I want you to pack some clothes and valuables"
"Mom, what's going on?"
"Sydney listen to me, go back your stuff, leave everything in a suitecase here and then I want you and Vaughn to walked down the beach to the burger joint and there you will find a brand new Range Rover, here are the keys." She handed them to her " and all the instruction you need will be there"
With that final word, Irina left and Sydney walked back into the living room
Vaughn looked up from Isabelle "Who was at the door?"
"My mother, she said to pack up and head down to the burger joint where a car will be waiting for us with instructions on whatever is going on"
Just then Sydney's cell phone rang " Hello"
"Hi Sydney" she heard her father say on the other line
"Dad, I need to tal……" she was interrupted
"I want you to listen to me" he began "I know your scared and nervous about raising a child by yourself but…..lets…..not…even…..think…..it…is…terrible……ok…….your going to be a great mother" he said hoping that she understood the message
"Thanks dad"
"I love you sweetheart" Soon she heard the line dead
"What did you dad say?" Vaughn asked, cradling Isabelle in his arms
Sydney didn't respond instead she got out a piece of paper and wrote down what he has said to her. "He said 'lets not even think its terrible ok your going to be a great mother"
She looked at the paper trying to figure out what he meant but suddenly Vaughn spoke "Take the first letters of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th and 7th then take second letter of the 6th word and scrabble, listen"
"He is telling me to listen to my mother" She said quietly
"I think we should listen to your father Syd"
"Vaughn, I'm scared"
Vaughn was a bit shocked. Usually she tried to fool everyone with her tough girl act, motherhood had definitely changed her. He grabbed her into his arms and held her.
"Everything is going to be ok"
"How do you know that?"
"because things always turn out ok with us"
"But things are different now, now we have Isabelle" She sighed
"Even more of an reason to fight like hell for everything to be ok" he reassured her
"Thank you"
"For?"
"For everything," she paused, "I'll go and back everything we'll need"
Vaughn nodded "Don't forget my King's shirt"
She laughed "I won't, have you seen Isabelle's?"
His face lit up "She has a King's shirt?"
"Yea Weiss got it her before he left for Washington DC"
Flashback (within a flashback)
"So I got you and the baby something before I left" Weiss said, handing her a box
"You didn't have to do this"
"I did this for Vaughn" Weiss smiled weakly. He still couldn't believe that his best friend in the whole world was dead.
Sydney opened the box to find an infant King's jersey inside. When she took it out she saw what the back said - Daddy's Girl
Tears started to form in her eyes "Thank you Weiss"
"Well I want this little girl to know so much about her dad," His eyes started to water "and what sucky teams he liked"
She laughed, She felt so horrible for lying to Weiss about what had really happened
End of Flashback
"He's a great guy" Vaughn said
"I'm going to go back, just watch Isabelle"
"I think I can handle that"
Within 20 minutes Sydney had everything that they needed packed and they were all ready to leave.
Vaughn, holding Isabelle, said "Are you ready?"
"How can you be ready for the unpredictable?"
Vaughn kissed her on the forehead and they took one final look around the apartment, not knowing if they would ever get it see it again.
After walking about 10 minutes to get to the burger joint they found the Range Rover that Irina had told them about. Sydney grabbed Vaughn's hand and proceeded to the car.
They opened the backseat door to find ……….
"Hi I'm Ken Thomas reporting from Venice Beach where there seems to have been a large house fire. Although the details are sketchy at the moment we do have reports that a family has died in the fire - Two adults male and female and a infant. We will have more to report later one"
Everyone inside APO looked at the screens in disbelief, except for two people.
One happy that he had successfully helped his boss complete their mission and another happy because he knew the truth
Rachel had wanted to talk to Tom about something when he overheard him talking.
"Yes I have spoken to our operative and double check. He has said that Deverko has taken care of Agents Bristow and Vaughn."
Rachel couldn't believe what she just heard, Tom was an double agent working for Prophet 5
