Here is the next part.

The guards were already at the door when they got there. They pushed through roughly.

"Open the door" shouted Sydney they did as she told them and she darted in. Zara was shaking and staring at the ceiling. There were tears streaming down her young face. "Little?" she said walking slowly towards her. Zara didn't look at her just spoke, in a strange emotionless tone.

"I've identified them they have set up the north cell here" she said and then bent down and picked up a photograph making sure she didn't look at it and no one could see it either. Sydney took it but didn't look at it she slid it into an envelope and put it in her pocket. She put a hand on the young girl's shoulder and she turned to look at the hand before looking into Sydney's brown eyes.

Sydney was scared of those eyes she knew it then they held too much, far too much. The two hazel pools were flashing in anger, cringing in fear and hopeless with sadness all at the same time. Zara was shaking all the emotions going through her too much to be expressed in any other way.

Sydney couldn't bare to see that in that young girls gaze. She pulled her into a tight hug but Zara stood rigid in fear until Sydney began to let go then Zara tentatively returned the embrace. There were shouts from the guards, Vaughn tried to stop them but they kept at it. They pointed guns at them and they separated Sydney pulling Zara behind her and shouted at the guards.

"She is just a child. Leave her alone for God's sake" The guards backed off from Sydney's rage and Vaughn walked forward to try and calm her down.

"We'll be ok. Go outside" he ordered. They obeyed quickly and silently. He walked over to Sydney "Can you show me who it is?" She gave him the envelope.

"Show this to my father and Dixon as well" she looked him in the eye for the second time that day a first. "Don't do it in here" she said firmly and he nodded.

"Are you alright?" he asked Zara who looked at him from behind Sydney not saying anything.

"We'll be fine" Sydney cut in for Zara who didn't look up to talking "We have talk about some things don't we?" she turned to Zara who nodded very slightly. Vaughn went to put a hand on Zara's shoulder but she flinched and he dropped his hand.

"Syd you need anything you just call" he said and she nodded smiling very slightly. He was just happy that she believed him and touched her arm briefly before walking out hand in his pocket to protect the photograph. Once he had walked out Sydney shook herself and turned to Zara who had been behind her the whole time. She had stopped shaking so violently.

"Are you ok?" she asked.

"Not.. really" said Zara she was stuttering in her rage "I just realised that…someone who should be dead is alive and I…she should be fu.. dead"

"Whoa calm down ok" Sydney put a hand on the girl's shoulder again "Lets sit" Zara nodded and they walked over to the small bed and sat down next to each other. "Do you want to tell me?" Zara shook her head holding the tears in by closing her eyes. "I'll put it another way. Do you think you should tell me?"

"I'll have to tell someone some day soon" she said quietly in a sad voice.

"What did they do to you?" Sydney asked gently.

"They were the one who put in the idea of…" she paused "Of using my parents to make me do something. They killed them not before torturing me of course" she started to shake again "The last thing my parents saw was me…me being…" she took a deep breath and Sydney didn't press her letting her find the right words "Being put in the chair. I tried to fight" the tears she had been trying to hold back started to fall "I tried I did. They were too strong. I was only 11 and they were too strong to fight. I wasn't strong enough after everything to fight off 4 grown men" Sydney hugged her again.

"Shh hush hey you're ok. You're ok now aren't you?" and Zara nodded and looked up at Sydney.

"Thank you Syd" Sydney looked taken aback.

"Why?"

"For.. things" she said cryptically. Sydney smiled then Zara asked a logical question "What's going to happen now?"

"I'm not sure really but I know the person will be dealt with" Zara nodded.

"Will it be over soon?" she asked looking very young as she looked up at Sydney who had to keep reminding herself that this girl was 14 and not an adult. She did not seem know how to be much of a child.

"I don't know I want to be over as much as you do. We can hope" Zara nodded again.

"I can do that not very good at it but I can do it" she said and looked up at the ceiling. Sydney still had a hand lightly on her back as if to protect her. "You're the first adult to show me any compassion for a long time" she whispered and Sydney looked at her "I'm not used to any of this" she chuckled "I mean the cells and imprisonment yes but people taking an interest in me as me rather than my fighting skills or…pain resistance that's weird"

"Well get used to it" Sydney said with a smile "People are going to be interested in you for you as you and your skills too. They won't hurt you though. I'll see to that" Zara smiled at her.

"Syd why are you doing this?"

"Because what they did to you was something no one should have to go through ever."

"No there's more to it than that"

"I also know how you feel in some ways" she said "I not ashamed to admit we probably need you too"

"You don't have to explain" said Zara "As long as you don't push to hard for what you need from me. Like I said earlier I can't remember some months it may be me blocking them out or it could have been them deliberately doing it. I don't know. If I can't remember I can't ok" she said looking up at Sydney who nodded. They sat there for about five minutes idly chatting. Zara was teaching Sydney some Polish when Vaughn walked into the room. He was obviously shaken. Sydney looked up at the sound of the gates she stood up and walked over to the door. Vaughn looked up at her with shock written all over his face. She walked out of the door and stood in front of him.

"Vaughn" he didn't respond or look up "Vaughn who is it?" he looked up at her.

"I'm so sorry Syd. How could I have given up? On you of all people? Syd I…" he couldn't talk. He just pulled Sydney to him in a fierce hug. He was whispering 'I'm sorry' over and over again. Sydney stood there frozen for a few seconds then she put her arms around him as well and tried to comfort him.

"Vaughn?" she whispered "Vaughn you have to tell me" he just shook his head into her shoulder. She took a deep breath "Michael, please" she whispered and knew that it had caught his attention. He pulled back slightly and looked into her eyes.

He leant in and whispered shakily in her ear "It's her my said wife Lauren" Sydney stood stunned "I'm sorry Syd." Sydney didn't speak or move. She looked up into Vaughn's green eyes. There were tears there "Syd" he said his voice choked with tears. They embraced again. She knew it wasn't because of Lauren it was because of everything, the time that he had wasted not finding her or being together and that he had been a mission.

"Who knows?" she asked him still holding onto him tightly.

"Your father and Dixon that's all. They need to have Zara reconfirm it and talk to higher up as well." Vaughn looked at her as they broke apart because Sydney sighed. "What?"

"I'll tell you in a minute" she said then walked out of his embrace slowly and over to Zara. She told her quickly what was going on. Zara nodded then gestured to Irina on the other side. Sydney turned to her mother who just smiled and drew a hand across her mouth, Sydney smiled at her then looked back at Vaughn. "Come on" she said and they both walked out.

Weiss watched the two of them as they walked back towards Dixon's office. They weren't trying to keep space between each other usual if anything, they were keeping slightly too close together. They both looked shaken and Weiss figured they weren't expecting the person the kid had identified.

Vaughn had a strong urge to take Sydney's hand he needed something real to hold onto something he knew. His life was being torn apart before him; his wife was covenant, their marriage had been a sham and the thing that really angered him was that he was a mission, an assignment something to conquer and he had been even fooled into thinking Lauren actually cared for him. They walked into Dixon's office to face an angry Jack, the anger pointed at Vaughn, and a shocked and sympathetic Dixon.

"I've told upstairs that we need to talk to them about Little" he said and they both nodded "Did she look at all the photographs?"

"I'm not sure" said Sydney "She just wanted to get the one to you quickly. I'll go and ask her" said Sydney and turned but Dixon stopped her.

"No Syd we all have to talk with her and the photographs" Dixon thought for a moment "We'll go out of here to the park. We'll pose as a family on an outing. You two" he said looking at Syd and Vaughn "Will be her parents, Jack grandfather and I'll be a friend or something." Jack looked at Dixon to be allowed to speak and he nodded.

"Your names will be Helen and James Pearson and Little will be.."

"Megan" said Sydney quickly "She seems to know people her and they call her Megan so…" Jack nodded.

"I will be Luke Smith and Dixon, Thomas Harden" Dixon nodded.

"We meet in four hours" said Dixon he turned to Sydney and Vaughn "You take her now and go somewhere with a lot of people. Remember to be a family ok?" They both nodded "Go" they nodded then walked out.
