A Thin Line Between Love and Hate

“What the hell do you mean you just left?”

Sarah was sure this time, she actually saw smoke coming out of Director Manning’s ears.

“What the hell is going on over there, Sarah? You were supposed to be in London, then I find out—no thanks to Jack, cause he all of a sudden isn’t communicating—that you all were in Tuscany the entire time? Now you’re here? Needless to say you are gone if you don’t have an absolutely perfect explanation!”

For the first time since her encounter with Xander in the bedroom of his Tuscan wonderland, she understood why he had been so paranoid of her. Just moments ago, on the way in to Manning’s office in Langley, Virginia, she was stopped by a sort of nerdy looking man just outside CIA headquarters. He identified himself as Marvin—you can call me Marv—Cameron. Which meant nothing to Sarah. Then he said he was friends with the late, Sean Thompson, which vaguely rang a bell, and finally he explained that he had been helping Xander King and Sam Harrison for a few years now. Though she still didn’t know the name, she was able to make the connection. Marvin—Marv, went on to explain to her that Xander was in some real trouble, but he couldn’t get a hold of him. Sarah didn’t let on how much she knew, but when Marv said he tracked her down because he was given a request to check into a few things by a man named Jack Bronson, who was currently with Xander, Sarah took a moment to catch her breath and let Marv have his say.

“Why aren’t you with Xander in Tuscany?” Marv had asked her.

Sarah was a little weary, but she took the time to explain that Xander had the impression that she was compromised. That is when Marv explained the conversation that he had with Jack, and that is when her world shifted on its axis. She hadn’t listened to the voicemail that Kyle left a couple of hours earlier. So she didn’t know that Xander and Sam had been taken. She was immediately infuriated with herself for leaving when Xander needed her most. She was even more distraught when Marv explained to her that he found out that Melanie, Xander’s trusted assistant, was actually a mole for Dragov, and the one that told Pavlovich where they were in Tuscany. Sarah felt horrible. Xander had reacted poorly, granted, but there really was a mole. He just got caught up and took it out on the wrong person.

“I have to relay all of this to Manning, right now! Come with me!” She had told Marvin. That was right before he blew her mind again, forcing the world to re-shift its axis entirely.

“Sarah,” Marv glared into Sarah’s eyes. “That, is the last thing you’re going to want to do. Manning is working for Dragov.”

“No way.”

“He knew all about Melanie.”

“No way.”

“And he knew all about the attacks that you helped save Xander from in the Virgin Islands, and at the hospital in San Diego.
