Chapter 2- The Intel
-Flashback-
The sunlight streamed in through the window in Sydney's bedroom. Her beeper sounded on her nightstand next to her bed. Sydney rolled out from under the warm covers and looked at the caller ID. It read Dixon 911. Sydney yawned and stretched trying to chase the tiredness away from her bones. Then she started to get ready to head for work. She took a shower then started to apply a light layer of makeup around her hazel eyes and pulled her shoulder length brown hair into a low ponytail. She then was off to work. Sydney arrived at the agency a little over a half hour later after circling and looping a few blocks to loose anyone who might be following her.
As Sydney entered the CIA Vaughn looked up from his desk and gave her a warm smile. "Hey Syd, we have a briefing with Dixon in a few minutes," he said as he finished typing his report. "How was your night?" He asked turning to Sydney.
"It was alright I had a hard time sleeping and adjusting to life now," Sydney replied. Vaughn slipped his hand in hers.
"We both have some catching up to do," Vaughn said as he gave her a reassuring smile.
"We should probably get to that briefing," Sydney replied. Vaughn nodded. As they entered the briefing room Weiss looked up from where he was seated at the large table.
"Hey," Vaughn said to Weiss as he took his usual seat at the table.
"Hey, do you know what this briefing is all about?" Weiss asked as he turned to Vaughn.
"I really have no clue," Vaughn replied. Only moments later did Dixon enter the briefing room.
"I'm sure you all are wondering what your doing here, well we have just received Intel that Tanners who is the double agent for the Covenant and the CIA have provided us with false coordinates to the Sphere of Life that we have been currently searching for." Dixon said.
"How do we know he has given us false coordinates?" Sydney asked.
"We had recently sent a team in to search for this Sphere of Life and it turned up that there was nothing found we were misled." Dixon replied.
"What's our course of action then?" Vaughn asked.
"We are going to assassinate Tanners, before he leaks any information we have told him," Dixon replied.
"When?" Weiss asked.
"Tonight at 9:30pm, I'm sending you Sydney, in to complete this assignment." Dixon said.
"Yes sir," Sydney replied.
"You are all dismissed, that's it, oh and Sydney make you are not seen and come home..." Dixon said.
"I will," Sydney replied.
Parking lot 9:30pm
Sydney positioned herself behind a nearby dumpster and pulled a long gun out of here bag and made sure the sites were intact. She loaded the gun and pointed it at the window of the building. Sydney aimed and fired shooting Tanners in the back of the head. She watched as he slumped against the window dead. Sydney packed up her gear and ran off into the darkness before she was spotted.
-Present-
It was a Friday evening. Sydney and Vaughn sat at the dining room table eating dinner.
"How was your day Syd?" Vaughn asked.
"It was alright, just a little frustrating but I'm just glad the days over," Sydney replied smiling.
"Syd I know it's hard to adjust to life now, and I know it's going to be different with your father turning out how he did but don't worry we'll get everything worked out..." Vaughn said taking a sip of his drink.
"I know but I'm still in shock at how this whole thing turned out with my father involved and all," Sydney replied.
"Yeah, but Syd you have to relies, he is a bad guy and you can do nothing to change it, you can't go and change back time to make thing's right," Vaughn said.
"Vaughn, he was my father, he was there when I went through those months when my mom was in CIA custody, he told me she was up to something, I didn't believe him, and now he's working with my mother, I've gone through way to many losses...the death of Francie and having Will in a witness protection program, Vaughn my life is a living disaster right now..." Sydney said getting up from the table and started to wash the dishes.
"Sydney, some things in life are not what we really want but thing's is going to get better you have to believe me and trust that they are...Sydney I love you and I will stand by you until the world comes to an end which it may right now but Syd listen to me when I tell you that this will all work out for the best and to trust me," Vaughn said getting up from the table and coming over and planting a gentle kiss on her lips.
