Gone ~ Chapter 1

How could this be happening? What would she tell Vaughn?

Sydney continued to pack slowly. It was so painful to do this. She had told Will and Francie that the bank had transferred her; Will knew better, Francie didn't. They could visit her, of course, but she would still miss everyone and everything so much.

But most of all, she didn't want to leave the one person she loved and needed more than anyone else; she didn't want to leave Vaughn.

*rewind*

Sydney Bristow had just heard the worst news of her life. Her mouth hung open and tears stung her eyes.

"What? Dad, they can't do this to me!" Jack put a hand on his daughters shoulder.

"Sydney, there's nothing we can do about it. You have to go, it's for your own protection." Her rage took over; she couldn't hold back the tears.

"It's not fair though! And SD-6 is gone, so why do I need protection?" She stifled a cry and glared at her father, her eyes wide.

"Sd-6 may be gone Sydney, but the Alliance isn't. We need to keep you safe until it is." Her tears flowed freely as she leaned against her fathers shoulder; they had become a lot closer in the last week. "I know it's hard Sydney, but there's nothing we can do. These are Devlin's orders, and he's right, we need to keep you safe."

*fast forward*

She dialed his phone number and waited.

"Vaughn here" She tried to sound cheery, but wasn't sure if she succeeded.

"Hey!" She could hear his smile.

"Hey Syd! Is anything wrong?" He always worried about her. He cared so much.

"Can we meet tonight? I need to talk to you." She could hear the steady silence on the other end of the phone.

"Sure. I'll see you at the pier at 9:00?" There was a hint of worry in his voice; he knew something was wrong.

"That's great, see you then" She was about to hang up, but she needed to say something first, "Vaughn, I love you"

"I love you too Syd, see you later"
