"Julian, I really need that info right now" Sophia said in her earpiece while she ran from the museumguards.
"Just one minute love" Sark answered looking at the computeranalyst
Sophia turned around and shot a few times. She ducked behind a corridor and reloaded her gun. "Julian, this is my last. You better have that intel"
"Take the first door on your left"
Sophia jumped up and ran as fast as she could while bullets were flying around her. She opened the door and went in. "Alright, I'm in"
"Walk to the window, there will be a van outside" Sark told her
Sophia opened the window and looked out. "Yes, there is. What do you suggest ? That I jump ? I'm on the thirth floor"
"You've done it before"
"Yes and I almost broke my neck but fine if I die I'm coming back to haunt you" Sophia said climbing out
"I would expect nothing less darling" Sark said in a charming way
Sophia turned around to see that the guards were breaking into the office and jumped. She hit the floor but didn't waste anytime to feel the pain and walked over to the van. They opened the door for her and got in.
"Derevko ?" Sydney asked confused and suprised
Kendall nodded. "This doesn't mean anything agent Bristow. She could be a cousin, a late sister of Irina, she could not even be family"
Sydney looked at her father and noticed the change in his expression. She wondered if he was thinking the same thing whether this girl was Irina's daughter or not.
"She does look like her" Vaughn commented
"Sydney, maybe you should talk to your mother. Ask her about this Sophia" Kendall said
Sydney nodded and left the room. Jack also got up and followed her. "Sydney, wait"
"Dad, what if she is her daughter ? What are we going to do ?" Sydney asked
"I don't know" Jack answered
"She could be yours" Sydney said softly
Jack didn't say anything and Sydney left the conversation to go to her mothers cell.
Sophia entered the abandoned warehouse that Sloane used to run his little private organisation. She hated herself for working with him but it was needed to know the location of her mother and to get to the Rambaldi artefacts that Sloane owned.
Sark noticed Sophia making her way to him and smiled. "You did a marvelous job at that museum."
"Well thank you but you still owe me for not getting me that info right away" Sophia answered smiling back.
Sark took a step closer to her. "Really ? What does the lovely Sophia Derevko want ?" he whispered in her ear
Sophia couldn't help but shiver at his tone. He had that effect on her and he bloody well knew it. But she had a few tricks herself that drove him mad.
"Candlelight dinner at Madeira's" she whispered back
Sark smiled against her ear and nodded. He pulled back and focused on the item that Sophia had stole from the museum. Another artefact that was supposed to uncover more of Rambaldi's prophecy and that was supposed to tell them more about Sophia's part in all this.
"So, where's Sloane ?" Sophia asked looking at him
"I don't know, with his wife I guess"
"So we're totally alone here" she said seductivly
Sark noticed her tone and looked at her. After a mission, they always felt the need to release the adrenaline and the fact that she almost got killed only increased the feeling.
"Yes" he answered and Sophia hopped on the desk that was standing in front of them.
Sark attacked her neck with wet and hungry kisses. She held his head with one hand and pressed it tighter against her. His hand made a path across her body landing between her legs. She gasped and pulled his head towards her. Their lips met and their tongues dueled for dominance. Just as she pulled at his tie, they heard someone coming in.
Sark turned away from her and she jumped off the desk. Sloane entered the room. "Sophia, I'm glad that you got away unharmed. There were more guards than I suspected." He said grasping her hands.
Sophia, suddenly feeling the need to wash her hands, smiled sweetly. "Yes, the artefact had a lot of protection."
Sloane nodded and took the artefact in his hands. "We're so close to the complete prophecy of Rambaldi. Then we'll finally be free"
Sofya did her best to listen to him but her mind drifted off to another place and another time when her mother had told her her father was still alive. She had wanted to find him so badly but her mother had told her she would endager her life by doing so.
FLASHBACK
"Sofya, now that you're sixteen I think it's time you know the truth" Irina told her daughter
"The truth about what mom ?" Sofya asked while eating her birthdaycake
"Your father"
Sofya stopped eating and looked up at her mother. "What do you mean ?"
"He didn't die in a car-accident sixteen years ago as I told you. He's still alive" Irina said
"Why did you lie about this ?" Sofya said softly, the fact she never knew her father was a touchy subject with her
"If you knew he was still alive, you would've gone and looked for him. It would've killed you, it still would."
"Then why are you telling me this ? To taunt me ?" she hissed
"No, you're old enough to make your own decisions. If you want to find him then I won't stop you but believe me he won't welcome you with open arms. The only thing you'll find is heartbreak" Irina said stroking her daughters head
END FLASHBACK
She hadn't made an attempt to find him. A part of her didn't want to believe her mother when she told her that the man who had helped create her would reject his daughter but when a source lead to the CIA, she stopped her search. The possibility that her father might be a CIA agent made her believe her mothers words.
"Sofya ?"
She snapped out of her trance and looked at Sloane. "Yes ?"
"Are you alright ?" he asked sounding concerned
"Yes, I'm just a little tired and some of my muscles hurt from jumping out of a window of the third floor" she explained
"Ofcourse, I'll let you get some rest. I'll see you tomorrow" Sloane said giving her a small hug
Sofya returned the hug and then turned to Sark. He nodded at her unmade question and followed her out of the warehouse.
"Mom ?" Sydney called from behind the windowglass
"Sydney, how lovely to see you again" Irina said coming to the window
"We know her name", Sydney said with a straight face, "Who's Sofya Derevko ?"
Irina just smiled. "Well, I'm suprised that you found out so quickly. Your father only came to ask me yesterday"
"Who is she mom ?" Sydney asked again firmly
"Who do you think she is ?"
Sydney remained quiet for a minute. "Is she my sister ?"
Irina smiled. "I gave birth to Sofya in a Russian prison, not a place I would recommend for such an activity"
Sydney took a deep breath to register the information she got. "Who's her father ?" she then asked softly
"At appearance she looks so much like me : she has my hair, my sneer, my nose. But when you talk to her I see so much of her father in her. And her eyes ofcourse, everytime I looked into them it was like he was looking straight back at me" Irina answered
"That's not an answer to my question" Sydney whispered
"No, ofcourse not. But what's the fun in me telling you everything when you can get to see her yourself ?" Irina said pulling her lip
Sydney looked at her confused. "How ?"
"Your father told me that you're going on a mission to retrieve a disk with intel on a new organisation. Sofya will be there" Irina explained
"She's a spy ?"
"Oh yes, she has been since she was fifteen." Irina said
"How could you do such a thing ? Recruiting your own daughter at only fifteen? " Sydney asked
"It was the only way of surviving Sydney. I don't expect you to understand, or your father for that matter." Irina said before walking to her bed giving the signal that the conversation was over.
Sydney left her and made her way to her father and Vaughn. "So she will be inGermany tomorrow"
"You have to be carefull Sydney. It's most likely that she doesn't know of your existance and only sees you as a threat for getting the disk herself" Jack told his daughter
"I know but….I can't believe that I have a sister…..that she kept this from us" Sydney said softly
Jack nodded. "She's good in keeping secrets. One of the best"
Sydney looked up at her father and wondered whether her sister was also a Bristow or that her mother had a child with another man.
"I'm going to take a shower. Care to join me ?" Sark whispered against the naked skin of her shoulder
Sofya turned around with his arm still around her and smiled. "In a bit. I have to catch my breath yet. You've worn me out"
Sark smirked and got out of bed. Sofya followed his movement as he went to the bathroom naked. She yawned and streched. Then she got out of bed to pack a suitcase since they were leaving for Germany in a few hours.
After that was done she entered the steaming bathroom where Sark was taking a shower.
"I was beginning to think you bailed out on me"
Sofya opened up the glass door and stepped into the shower. "I'd never do that"
Sark captured her lips in a hungry, demanding kiss. From the beginning, it had always been like this. Their attraction for eachother was something undeniable. Irina had seen it, Khasinau had seen it, even before they acted on it.
Sofya moaned as his hands moved to her lower back so he could pick her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he pushed her against the wall. Her hands were buried in his hair while their kiss became more passionate and even loving.
She was the first to break the kiss. "We have to get ready. Our flight leaves in two hours"
"You're right darling" Sark said letting her move out of the shower. He followed her into the bedroom to get dressed.
