Discovering The Waterfront

Chapter 6:

Losing Everything You've Ever Earned

Sydney finally recieved the phone call from Marshall she had been waiting on for what seemed like forever.

"Marshall, did you trace the e-mail?" Sydney asked as soon as she answered the phone.

"Yeah, there's this old warehouse down a dirt road. The road's located a little bit past the city and it's right near train tracks so you should be able to find it." Marshall rushed over the phone.

"Thanks." Sydney said before she hung up the phone and grabbed her jacket. She exited the plane and she sat in the driver's seat of the car.

Rachel and Tom quickly followed Sydney into the car. Sydney protested but it didn't matter, they were coming and that was that.

Isabelle waited alone in the same room she had been in for a few hours. She looked at the walls trying to find anything that might help her get out of the chair. She wasn't going to try to run again but she just wanted out of the chair.

Suddenly the door opened to reveal the other guard standing there. He unlocked the cuffs to the chair and pulled Isabelle out of the chair. It was strange, there was something oddly familiar about him but Isabelle couldn't place where she had seen this guard. She definitely knew she had seen this person before.

"Come on Isabelle." The guard said in a whispery voice that seemed to care

Isabelle followed without a word because for some reason she couldn't bring herself to say anything.

"Ok go out this door and keep walking straight, someone should find you within the hour." The guard said to her as he held the door open.

"Why are you helping me?" Isabelle finally asked after staying quiet for so long.

"Because I have to." He said with a smile as he continued to hold the door open.

Then the realization finally hit her, the person standing in front of her was the one she saw in the house.

"You're the reason I'm here in the first place. You shot me with the tranq at the house." Isabelle stood still beside the door because for all she knew this person was just going to shoot her when she walked away.

"I can see why you don't trust me but you need to get out of here now, alright here take this." He handed her a loaded hand gun and then opened the door wider for her to leave, she looked at him with a confused look but walked out the door anyway.

I wrote down, the best part of our story
To whom it may concern...I think your beautiful plan
LACKS STYLE! Imagine what they could do
With a little more time and a little more passion
You're trying too hard to get a reaction

Isabelle didn't know where she was but it didn't matter, all she needed to find was a phone. The light hurt Isabelle's eyes so she had to look down at the ground for a little while as she walked, just until she got used to the sunlight. She looked back at the building she was held in, the place looked like a wharehouse. Isabelle stopped for a minute but turned back around and kept walking, when she was far enough away, she tossed the gun to the side of the road, what did she need it for? She walked a few paces away from the gun before using her better judgement and going back to pick it up again.

State the words right now to separate
The truth from your intentions
Your cold flesh tangled up in snakes
Just as I expected but oh no
I don't think so,
Save some breath for the ending

She kept walking forward slowly before reaching some train tracks, she looked down them to see if a train was coming and then crossed them. When she crossed the tracks a white delivery van swerved to a stop near her, a few people dressed in black piled out of it. Isabelle ran for it, she didn't want to get taken hostage again for something she had nothing to do with. Two people ran after her and Isabelle turned around and fired the gun at them, she managed to hit one of the two people in the leg but the other one kept running after her. She turned around and ran again.

Save some breath for the ending

The person caught up to her and punched her across the face, she was down for the count. A few of the other people in the van walked over to help their fallen friend, while the remaining helped the one who was not shot get the captive.

The person who had struck Isabelle pulled off the black ski mask they were all wearing to reveal long blonde hair and an evil smile.

"Take her to the van." Said the woman with a British accent.

Why don't you make your move cause your acting like I'm on trial
The pieces are set and the game is emotion
Don't you forget the worst is yet to happen.

Sydney, Rachel and Tom pulled up a few miles from the scene and stopped once they heard the gun shots. Sydney and Tom ran towards where Isabelle was being taken to see what was going on, they weren't seen. Sydney and Tom watched as Isabelle's unconcious form was being taken into a different van, one that was not from the tapes. Then they saw who had taken her, well they saw one of them.

"Lauren." Sydney said with pure hate in her voice.

State the words right now to separate
The truth from your intentions
Your cold flesh tangled up in snakes
Just as I expected but oh no
I don't think so,
Save some breath for the ending

"Isn't she dead?" Tom asked in a whisper.

"I thought she was." Sydney whispered back.

"We have to follow them." Sydney said as she began to stand.

"No, we need to go back to the place where the e-mail came from. Maybe they have some information." Tom said trying to be sensible.

"They could kill her and you want to go see if the place where she was a little while ago knows where she is now. Lauren doesn't lead she follows orders, we need to follow them so we can stop her and whoever she's working for." Sydney angrily told Tom.

Tom took out his cell phone and took a picture of the van with the camera. He then called Marshall and told him to follow the van.

At the same time he did that Lauren answered her own phone replying to the caller with "we have her."

Save some breath for the ending

Sydney and Tom walked back to the car once the van left and they went to the place where the e-mail had come from, much to Sydney's dislike.

They quietly entered the building and searched the area. Rachel, Tom, and Sydney were all on their own looking for the people who had originally kidnapped Isabelle.

Sydney walked into a room that looked like an officeand saw the chair with the chains and papers on the desk. She didn't bother to read the papers but turned to leave the room, when she turned around however she was face to face with the person who had died so many years ago.

"Vaughn?"
