And here's the chapter…
Chapter 14 One Week Later…Weiss was sitting at his desk, trying desperately not to let his fatigue overtake him. Most Agent's had gone home for the night, leaving only Weiss, Jack, Kendall and two or three others with them. The past week had dragged by, and as the hours past, Weiss was very aware that if they didn't find Sydney and Vaughn soon, then they may not find them at all. Running his hand over a photograph, that had been taken the day he finally met his Goddaughter, he choked back a sob. Amanda looked so innocent, sleeping happily in her mother's arms, and Sydney and Vaughn couldn't contain their bright smiles as they looked at their tiny daughter. Sitting the photo back in its original position towards the back of his desk, he finally succumbed to his fatigue, resting his head on his arms as he drifted off into restless sleep.
On the other side of Ops, Jack was sitting wide-eyed at his desk, despite the late hour, searching through the latest set of files, which he'd downloaded off the network. Picking up the navy blue mug that sat next to his computer, he was annoyed to find that it was empty…again. Sighing, he grabbed the empty mug and headed up to the Break Room, intending to refill his mug for the umpteenth time that night. Sitting the mug down on the bench, he began rifling through the cupboards, searching for something to keep his stomach happy. Finding only a packet of stale biscuits, he grabbed a couple, leaving the open packet sitting on the bench while he made his coffee.
Jack had barely left Ops since Sydney and Vaughn had been abducted. He usually snatched a few hours sleep at his desk, yelling at anyone who suggested that he go home for a few hours sleep. He'd been into see Irina a few times, trying to pry more information out of her, but having no luck. After proving to be useless, Sloane had been taken back to Camp Harris several days ago. Ten extra Agents had been bought to Los Angeles, to assist in the search and to maintain normal operations within the Rotunda.
Thousands of miles away Sydney was leaning up against the concrete wall of her cell, she hadn't seen Vaughn again, and thinking of how bad his breathing was when she saw him, Sydney couldn't help but wonder whether he was still alive. Surveying her own injuries, she wasn't surprised that she couldn't feel her legs, and her arms were beginning to lose feeling as well. She sobbed softly to herself, knowing that she probably wouldn't survive another week.
Vaughn had regained consciousness during the week, and was surprised to find himself lying in a different, more comfortable position. Knowing that Sark and his accomplices wouldn't have laid him like that, he surmised that Sydney must've been in there with him for a short while. Vaughn's head throbbed from the countless number of blows it had received since they had been abducted in Italy.
Upon his return to his computer, Jack received a phone call from one of most reliable sources, "They're in Sabile, Latvia." Jack's source went onto list the address of where they were being held. Taking in all the information, Jack went off in search of Kendall, who was sitting in his office, half awake. "I have their location."
Two hours later the mission had been designed and a small team, which included Weiss, Dixon and Jack, were on their way to Latvia, hoping to bring Sydney, Vaughn and Amanda back with them.
Sydney tried to resist as two of Sark's men pulled her up from the wall, dragging her behind them, towards the small room that she knew so well. Throwing her roughly into the steel chair, her arms and legs were bound to the steel frame, and she watched as Sark came into the room. "Agent Bristow, nice of you to join us." He advanced towards her, and when she deemed he was close enough, she spat at him, her saliva rolling down his cheek. "That was a huge mistake," he said, motioning to the others that were in the room. Her eyes widened in terror as they all came towards her, attacking her all at once.
Vaughn was dragged into the room as Sydney was attacked. Watching as Sydney was repeatedly beaten, he felt sick to the stomach. Attempting to break free to so that he could help his fiancé was useless as he was felt a fist collide with his stomach. The two men, who had dragged Vaughn into the room, threw him into a steel chair opposite Sydney, and they bound him to the frame tightly.
Once Vaughn had been secured in the other chair, Sark called the other men off Sydney and he looked at his fiancé for the first time in two weeks. "Syd," he whispered quietly, when he saw the dazed look on her face. When her eyes focussed somewhat, she looked over at Vaughn, unable to stop the tears from falling. Happy that he'd appeared to have broken Sydney, Sark motioned for Amanda to be bought into the room. Vaughn looked over as he saw his daughter for the first time in what seemed like forever. "Amanda…"he said, looking at his baby, held in the arms of this sick barstid, who'd taken their child from them. Vaughn watched as Sark paraded their daughter in front of them, in much the same way as he'd done to Sydney days before. "Sssh Amanda, it's ok, Daddy's here," Sark said as Amanda started to fuss a little. "You're not her father, you never will be," Vaughn angrily told Sark. "Oh but Mr Vaughn, I will be once I've eliminated both you and her mother."
Hours later the CIA plane touched down in Latvia, and headed to a designated location where they would be picking up more Tech to help them with the rescue. Arriving at the building where Sark was apparently hold up, the ten members of the CIA team split up into smaller groups and surrounded the building.
