Sofya leaded Jack, Sydney and Vaughn into the nightclub. Jack thought he was going to have a heartattack when he saw the place, it looked more like a sexclub than a trendy place to spend your night. There were people that were almost eating eachother alive and weren't ashamed at all. Sofya made her way to the back of the club, a black guard greedy took in her outfit.
"Sark not with you ?" he asked, his voice filled with lust
"Not this time" she answered smiling, "He's expecting me, I presume ?"
The guard nodded and looked behind her. "Who are they ?"
"My protectors from you, Sark didn't want to take a chance." She wickedly replied
"Like you need protection" he said before opening the door
Sofya stepped into the room, her CIA family close behind. Frocelli looked up when he saw her, he grinned from ear to ear when he noticed the outfit.
"Ms Derevko, what a pleasure to see you again. You look more and more beautiful everyday, that Sark is one lucky man. You received the money then?" he said while she sat down in front of him
"Yes, where's the list ?" she asked
Frocelli gestured to a guard and poured himself some more wine. "It'll be here in a few seconds. Do you want something to drink ?"
"Some vodka would be nice" Sofya replied
Jack and Sydney looked at her surprised, she didn't look like a girl who would like vodka then Frocelli looked at the three of them.
"And your partners ? Since when do you have them anyway ? They don't look that experienced except for the old guy" he said smirking
Sofya smirked too. "We've been working with them for quite some time now and that's all you need to know. But don't let appearances fool you, the woman is a relative of mine and very deadly"
Frocelli looked amused. "Another Derevko, just what the world needed. Is she seeing anyone ?"
"I doubt my mother will want you in the family so let's concentrate on the reason I'm here unless ofcourse you no longer require my presence" Sofya said annoyed
"It's required, I let my best men work on that code and not one of them was able to break it. I'm impressed ms Derevko" he said
"My cryptology teacher would be very disappointed in me if I weren't able to make that code unbreakable" Sofya said
The door opened and one of Frocelli's men came in with the disk that contained 'The Leak'. He placed it in the laptop and then put it in front of Sofya. She looked briefly in Jacks eyes and then turned her attention to Frocelli again.
"Send them away,I need privacy if I'm going to do this" she said
He dismissed the guards and then gave her a glass with vodka. Sofya started typing but when she noticed everyone had left except for her companions and Frocelli, she smiled wickedly. Before Sydney or anyone else saw it coming, she pulled out her gun she had hid inside boot and pointed it on the man in front of her. He started shaking and started begging
"Please, I've given you the money, what more do you want ?" he cried
Sofya pretended she thought about it. "Well, I did see a Gucci dress the other day that I really wanted"
Then Jack spoke up. "Derevko, what are you doing ?"
She looked at him with angry eyes. "What do you think ? You told me to get you the list and I'm doing it" she yelled
"We didn't tell you to point a gun at someone and where did you get it ? I thought we checked you for guns. Put it down" he said while taking his own out
"DAD" ,Sydney said, "Stop it, both of you put the guns down"
Much to her surprise, both complied. If this had been a different situation, she would have smiled at them for being so alike. Sofya stepped up to Frocelli and kicked him unconcience. Then she hurried back to the laptop and took the disk out.
"We can't go through the club, you're lucky I know an other way out" she said before stepping to a hidden door and opening it.
She walked inside and mentioned for the others to follow her, they arrived in a long grey hallway with different doors. Sofya smirked at their confusion.
"This is a way in for people who do not want to be seen getting inside the famous sexclub of a certain Italian that I knocked out" she said
They ran to the frontdoor with Sofya leading them to it, right behind her was Jack who had sworn to himself to not lose her out of his sight, behind him was Vaughn and Sydney was last, trying to secure each corner they passed. But before she or anyone else saw it coming a door opened next to Sydney and a gun was placed at the side of her head.
"Unless you want to scrap your daughters brain of the wall Agent Bristow, I suggest you stop" a voice said
The three of them turned around and saw Sark holding a gun to Sydney's head. Sofya couldn't help but smile. "What took you so long ?"
"Patience is a virtue, isn't that what you keep telling me darling ?" he said with his famous smirk plastered on his face.
Before she could reply once again, she heard Jacks gun being cocked. She didn't need to look up to know that it was pointed at her.
"Let her go, Sark" Jack said loudly
"Now, you really expect me to believe you'd shoot your own daughter ? No, I have a better idea let's trade" Sark said calmly
Vaughns own gun wasn't displayed yet but he was itching to get it out and shoot Sark a million times over. They couldn't trade, Kendall ordered them to not lose Derevko and he didn't have any intentions to do so even though he liked the fiery woman.
"One daughter for the other, the one you've raised and love for the one you didn't know existed and you see as a criminal. Shouldn't be such a hard choice, is it Agent Bristow ?"
Jack pondered the moment, if he didn't let Sofya go, Sydney would die he was sure of it. Was the arrest of this girl more important than the life of his eldest daughter ? He mentally stopped himself, he was seeing Sydney as his eldest which meant he was seeing someone else as his youngest. He didn't no couldn't think about it so he took the easy way out, where he didn't have to deal with yet another of Irina's betrayels.
"Alright, let's trade" he said suprising Vaughn
"Jack; what are you doing ? Kendall ordered.." Vaughn started
"I know what Kendall told us mr Vaughn but this is my call or perhaps you'd like to see Sydney killed" Jack replied coldly
Vaughn closed his mouth not knowing what to say, Sark turned his attention to Jack.
"Let Sofya walk towards here, Agent Bristow. As soon as she's at my side, I'll let your precious Sydney go without any extra holes in her body"
"How about you let Sydney go first and then I'll let Derevko go" Jack replied not accepting Sark as the leader of this trade
"No, because I have no garanty that you'll let Sofya go while you do with me letting Sydney go. Sofya has a tendency to be quite noble at times and she wouldn't want me killing her sister if not needed." Sark explained
Jack took a deep breath and lowered his gun, Sofya took this as the sign to walk forwards. When she reached Sark and he didn't lower his gun, Jack spoke again.
"Let Sydney go, you got her back now keep your end of the bargain"
Sark looked at Sofya and she opened her mouth while turning to look at her father. "First, I want my necklace back. I also kept the end of the bargain, I recovered 'The Leak' out of the hands of Frocelli and I want whats rightfully mine."
Jack didn't know what to think, why was that necklace so important to her ? First she agreed to do this mission for it and now she's willing to give them the disk in exchange. Ofcourse little did he know about the orgin and reason she got it.
FLASHBACK
"Love, wake up" Sark said softlySofya groaned and pulled the white satin sheet thighter around her naked body. Today was her nineteenth birthday and she didn't want to get up, she felt more like calling roomservice and spend the entire day in bed. However, when she felt the soft kisses on her neck, she turned around.
"Why ?" she asked with her eyes still closed
"Don't you want your birthday present ?" he asked with a smirk
Sofya's eyes were wide open after the answer came from his mouth, she hadn't expected this. Him buying her a present or even remember her birthday. She hadn't got a present since her sixteenth birthday and that had been a fake id for her mission.
"What ?" she asked surprised
"It is your birthday, isn't it ?" he asked still smirking
"Well yes, I didn't actually think you'd remember it" she replied honestly
"I have a good memory darling, you want the present or not ?" he asked
Sofya sat up and nodded with a big smile on her face, she allowed herself the moment. For the first time in her life, she felt like a normal person and when he placed a jewelery box in her hands, her eyes sparkeled.
"You know the way into a womans heart" she said opening it
Sark didn't reply and waited until she had completely opened it. Sofya gasped slightly when she saw the content. It was a simple silver chain but it was the diamant that caught the attention, it was so perfectly shaped in a very slight star form and she didn't think she had ever seen something so beautiful.
"Julian, I don't know what to say" she said after a long moment of silence
"That's a first, a Derevko at loss of words. You like it ?" he asked smiling
"Yes, I more than like it. Where…." She started
"It's been in my family for a very long time, and I thought it would look beautiful on you. Do you want me to put it on ?" he asked
Sofya nodded and turned around so he could fasten the claspe around her neck. When she faced him again, he smiled satisfied with the sight before him.
"I wasn't mistaken"
It caught her off guard, ofcourse he had told her on various occassions that she was beautiful but the present was something that had been in the family, you didn't give something like that if you just thought she was good in bed. Her heart warmed towards him, this was a moment they probably would never have again because it came so dangerously close to emotions and attachement and that wasn't them and it would never be them. So she kissed him.
END FLASHBACK
Jack took the necklace out of his pocket. "Sydney first, I mean it this time"
Sofya smiled widely. "Ofcourse"
She looked at Sark and he lowered the gun immediately, then she took the disk out of the waistband of her skirt and gave it to her sister. Sydney hid her confusion and took the few steps towards Vaughn. Sark once again raised his gun, this time pointing it at Jack.
"Now, I've been more than reasonable don't you think ? Can I have my jewel back please ?" she said it with a calm voice and stepped forward.
She was right in front of her father and looked him in the eye, daring him to refuse. Jack didn't take the bait and placed it in her hands. Returning it to her neck, she stood beside Sark again.
"Goodbye sis, I'm sure we'll see eachother again." Sofya said
Sark looked at her and remembered Sloane's words. He had told him to show Jack what kind of relationship they had, to let them see the passion and desire and the plain lust. It would fuel Jack's hate towards her, disgust Sydney, and more importantly it would let Sofya know that she had him and that she didn't need this newfound family.
So Sark roughly grabbed Sofya against him and kissed her open mouth. His tongue devoured her and his hands were placed on her rear pressing her closer. Sofya couldn't help herself after being away from him for so long and moaned softly.
Sydney and Vaughn looked like they had seen a ghost, Jack however looked as emotionless as ever. When the two pulled out of the kiss, they opened the door Sark came from and disappeard without any more pleasentries. Jack, knowing it would be impossible now to locate them in the crowed nightclub turned around and made his way to the exit again.
"Dad, what are you doing ? We can still catch them" Sydney said
"No, we can't Sydney. They know this club better than we do and they probably already took another backdoor. We have what we came for and as far as I'm concerned, this mission was a succes" Jack replied firmly
"A succes ? We lost Sofya, Kendall had send all three of us so that she would stay in our custody and we still managed to fall into a trap" Sydney yelled
She knew it was her fault, if she had payed more attention then they wouldn't be in this situation. She was yelling at herself and Vaughn noticed this.
"It wasn't your fault Syd" he said entering the soft breeze that was outside
Sydney nodded but inside, she felt like she had failed and that now, she would never be able to get her sister out of Sloane's hands and especially Sarks hands.
