"Vaughn, will you stop it ?" Sydney yelled playfully at her boyfriend
Vaughn stopped his teasing and looked up to her. He climbed up her body to kiss her and then rolled to his side of the bed pulling her close. Sydney placed her head on his chest and wished for the thousanth time that they could stay like this.
"I really hope that our beepers don't make a sound tonight" Sydney whispered
"Don't place a curse on it" Vaughn answered
Sydney smiled and snuggled in his arms. Just as she closed her eyes, both of their beepers got activated. Sydney groaned and pushed it off.
"I told you not to curse it" Vaughn said while he got out of bed. Sydney sat up and threw his pillow at him, then she also got up and dressed
Sydney and Vaughn entered the CIA headquarters a few minutes later and went to Sydney's father Jack.
"Dad, do you know why we were called up ?" Sydney asked
"You'll hear in a minute Sydney" Jack answered before walking to the conference room.
Sydney and Vaughn looked at eachother before following him. They all sat down and Sydney saw that the top of the CIA were gathered. Weiss and Marshall were also there. Suddenly Kendall appeared in front of the table.
"You must all wonder why we called you up in the middle of the night. We recieved some photographs that we think you should all see." He said
On the screen behind him a photo of Sark and a young woman appeared. "Like you all can see, this is Mr Sark. We don't know who the woman is yet but we can safely assume that she and Sark are involved in some way." Kendall said when the next picture came on the screen. It showed Sark and the woman in a romantic restaurant, holding hands.
"So Sark does have human feelings" Sydney commented
"How did we get the photographs ?" Vaughn asked
"Our contact in Tapei has sent them to us but he didn't make them. He said that they just arrived to him without any leads of the sender" Kendell answered
"She does look familiar, isn't she an undercover agent ? Or maybe former SD-6" Dixon asked
"No, that were the first things we thought too but we checked and there was nothing in the databases. And Derevko wasn't much of a help too"
"Mom ? What did she say ?" Sydney asked her dad
FLASHBACK
"Irina, we need your help" Jack said looking at her through the window"Ofcourse, what do you need ?" she asked him
Jack held up a photo of a young woman and Mr Sark. "Who is she ?"
Irina just smiled and said nothing. Jack looked at her as if he could read the answer out of her eyes.
"Irina"
"This is something you should find out by yourself Jack. But let me tell you this, it's about time that you meet." She said before walking back to her bed.
END FLASHBACK
"So she didn't want to tell you ? What is she up to ?" Sydney asked herself
Suddenly one of the CIA analysts came inside the room, he gave Kendall a piece of paper and then left. Kendall looked at the paper and raised his eyebrows.
"Well, we know the woman's name" he said looking at Jack and Sydney
"What is it ?" Sydney asked
Kendall paused for a moment. "Sophia Tatjana Derevko"
