GRRhhg Actually you did the best thing. You cleared the path all the way up the silo for safe passage for Sydney.....
When I first found Sydney and tried to follow her, she would get killed or I would because of the amount of Black Hands that are guarding the silo on each platform.
Lucky I saved it just before I walked up to Sydney and I had to follow her.
Since she wouldn't move unless I walked up to her, I took the opportunity to clear the path for safe passage for Sydney. I followed the path that she takes and killed all the Black Hands in the Silo. Then I went back and got her.... It was sooooo much easier
