Cariy and Mia folowed,and just as the door was about to close, Carly pushed it open, and she started to run down the steps as well, skipping every two steps.

Kali grabbed onto the railing that was beside her and she lunged down to the flight of steps that was below her. She landed in a crouch before she stood and sprinted down the last few stairs. She threw open the door and found herself in the parking garage.

_________________

Carly ran down the next flight, and then she came to the last one. She sprinted down those ones, and ran out the door, Mia right behind her. Carly saw the woman get in the passenger seat of the car, after someone had opened it.

Kali jumped into the car just as Sark had opened the passenger door, and she shut it as he drove out of the parking garage.

Carly and Mia got in the rental car they had driven, and Carly started up the engies, before pulling out, and driving after the other car.

_________________

Kali looked behind her and saw another car following them; she could tell it was Carly and Mia in the car. Meanwhile, Sark had just driven through the tollgate, and the lady in the tollbooth was about to have a heartattack when another car drove out after them.

_________________

Carly drove out of the parking garage, trying to catch up with the other car, without crashing the rental car itself.

Kali grabbed her gun and slid another clip into it before she rolled down the window and leaned her arm out, and shot at Carly and Mia's car.

_________________

Carly ducked as the bullet hit the lower part of the winsheild. She swiore softly as a small fragment of glass nearly hit her. She looked back up and she increased the speed of the car a bit.

_________________

Kali pulled her arm back into the car as Sark passed a red light. Just as he passed through it, it turned green, and Carly and Mia couldn't follow them anymore because there were too many cars blocking their way. They had lost the two people.

Carly sighed and she nearly slammed her hand against the wheel in frustration. She shook her head, and headed back to the airport.

Sydney did cart wheels through the streets....

(don't mind me i'm just posting... something... )

Ok ok...here's the real post...

Mia and Carly arrived back at APO headquarters. They gave Marshall the corrupted data and waited for him to find something, anything. No one liked the fact that once again someone had beated them to the mission. Sydney had no doubt now that there was a mole somewhere in APO. The problem was finding them.

"Marshall, how long will it take you to piece anything together?" Sydney asked. Anyone could tell by now that Sydney was seriously annoyed.
"Look, Syd, I don't know. The decryption program will work, but it will just take some time. Then I'm going to have to piece together what we have after it's decoded." Marshall said.

Sydney bit her tongue just in time to stop herself from saying something she would regret. She took a deep breath and then tried to smile, but it didn't work.
"Thanks, Marshall....I'm...It's just I want to get where ever this is before the ones who keep interfering."

Marshall nodded and went back into his office. He was drinking coffee in the middle of the day like there was no tomorrow.

"How long do you think it'll take to decipher the data?" Kali asked. She was standing behind Sark who was currently sitting at his laptop and working on it.
"I can't tell at the moment. It will take some time." He said.

Sydney visited Marshall's office frequently to see if the data was done yet, it wasn't until hours later. Of course, it was when Syd wasn't in the office. Marshall went into the debriefing room, and everyone looked at him.
"Its a shiping dock!! All this time a shipping dock! So I assume its being shipped out from there... otherwise it would be pretty pointless to have it in a shipping dock.. unless you were trying to confuse someone..."
"Marshall!" Sydney growled.
"Oh, yeah it's in Brazil, the shipping dock is in Brazil."
