Some days you could just tell something was going to happen. Today was one of those days for Vaughn. Life wasn't so complicated about four months ago. But then again life four months ago didn't have Sydney. And we all know that Vaughn would never ever regret seeing Sydney.

Vaughn and Lauren both got ready for work. And everything was routine. When they got into Ops, Weiss was waiting there almost as soon as they got in.

"Sydney signed up for a memories retrieval treatment." He said .

"Excuse me?" Vaughn burst out

"Yeah she signed up for another memory retrieval procedure. She didn't even tell me, I didn't even know till about twenty minutes ago." He said as they walked in to the main rotunda.

"She knows it's too dangerous. This procedure is invasive and deadly....It could leave her with permanent brain damage."

Weiss cut him off as he started to ramble. "No, not that procedure. The one she signed up for is a new one. It's a mix hypnosis and drugs. It supposed to trick the subconscious into releasing the memories...or something like that."(no the same as the one Sydney actually went through in the show.)

"When is it going to take place?" asked Lauren speaking for the first time since she entered the rotunda.

"Apparently, in about fifteen minutes. "

"Why didn't anyone inform us? Sydney is my partner in the field." Vaughn said.

"She probably choose not to tell us. She tried to get Dixon to sanction it but he didn't. She went through someone else. I think it was the NSC."

They had finally reached the conference/ debriefing room. Jack and Dixon were waiting for them there. Jack had a cold mask upon his face per usual.

"Hello. I assume you have been informed." Said Dixon. When they nodded he continued, "The NSC was so eager to do this that they helicoptered the specialist in. He is prepping Sydney now. Come on we should all be there." finished Dixon. He left the room and everyone else followed him per his orders.

Dixon lead them into a room with a large window revealing Sydney in a hospital gown getting ready for the procedure. But there was also a door leading into the room Sydney was in. While everyone else sat down, Michael used that door without any hesitation.

"What the hell are you doing?" he asked as soon as he was in her hearing range. He was unaware to the eyes that were now staring at him both inside the 'operating ' room and the observation room.

"Is he allowed to be in here?" Sydney asked the people around her.

"Sydney, what are you doing?" Vaughn asked stepping closer to inspect her.

"I don't want to talk to you right now."

"No what the hell do you mean now. We are going to have this conversation." And that was when Vaughn pushed it a little too far.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Coming in here. Telling me what to do. In case you didn't notice Agent Vaughn you lost that privilege a long time." She said in a huff but she was careful to ad the Agent part to his name.

"Don't do this Syd. Don't push me away." He said when he realized what had occurred.

"Well Agent Vaughn. I don't have to because you have been doing a pretty good job yourself. "she snapped looking at him wildly.

Vaughn 's angry resolve broke, he became the man that Sydney had fallen in love with. A caring and sweet man. "Syd, don't do this procedure please. Syd, Baby, Don't do this." He said using his most pleading tone. He even added baby for effect. Vaughn only called her that when they had been together. It was usually to get her to come to bed or to let them stay in bed or to get her to stop working. It was cute addition to his nickname to her.

"Don't call me that. Get out of here Agent Vaughn. This is my business, not yours." Apparently it didn't have the effect it used to. In fact it just made her madder.

"Sir. I'm going to have to ask you to leave." interjected a nurse before Vaughn could reply.

"Syd, baby, please." Vaughn pleaded again.

"No matter how many times you say it. It's not going to work Agent Vaughn."

Vaughn was beginning to see her crack. He decided to try something slightly different."Why can't I stay with you?"

"Ms. Bristow?" interjected the nurse.

"Go, Michael. I'll be fine. I promise." She said.

"You called me Michael." Said Vaughn in disbelief.

"Desperate times call for desperate measures." Sydney joked.

"Syd, baby. Please change your mind. What are you doing? You don't even know if this is going to help you at all. Please baby." He tried to change her mind one more time.

"Vaughn. I have to do this. I need to know what I have been doing for the past two years. Please. Believe in me. I found you before and I will find you again. I promise , okay?"

"Agent Vaughn we are starting now. I have to insist that you move. Ms. Bristow, I want you to count back from fifteen."

Vaughn finally moved back from Sydney and slowly walked away. But instead of leaving the room, he stayed by the doorframe.

"15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6...."eventually the drugs kicked in and Sydney was in a state of awareness. Half way asleep and halfway conscious.

And the specialists began to start the procedure. And all everyone could do was watch. The only thing that put Vaughn at ease was her steady breathing. It seemed like thing were going pretty well and the specialists finished with no problem. The specialists woke Sydney up and began to see if anything had changed.

"Where have you been the last two years?"

"I'm not telling you anything."

"It doesn't help any of us if you don't tell us what you know, Agent Br.."

"What are you talking about? My name is Julia Thorne." as soon as she said this she covered her mouth as if she just slipped something out.
