Chapter 1: Let the fun Begin

SD-6 is finally gone and I can do anything I want, like walk in the front door of the CIA without the worry of being assassinated, and I can even be with anyone I want. I was free! Just as my thoughts were taking me away I was snapped back into reality by a meeting being called to order.

"Everything's changing when I turn around
I'm out of my control
I'm a mobile"


Kendall stood at the head of the conference table with folders in hand. My father and I sat to his right, Vaughn and various other agents sat to Kendall's other side. "Okay let's get down to business." Kendall said, skipping the pleasantries. "Last night you all know we raided sd-6 cells all around the world. We have complete control over all of them and many of the leaders. This has been all to long a waited so congratulations on this victory. Especially thank you Agents Jack and Sydney Bristow, who've been doubles inside sd-6 working to bring them down." Kendall finished with a grateful nod of the head in my father's and I direction.

Everyone stood up simultaneously. Kendall and the other agents left after briefly congratulating each other on the agency's victory. Vaughn, my father, and myself were left alone. Vaughn walked over to where my father and I were talking about the take down and Sloane having escaped custody.

My father nodded acknowledgement towards Vaughn, "I'll talk to you later Sydney," My father said to me before excusing himself and leaving Vaughn and I alone.

"Start back at this life
Stretch myself back into the light
I'm waking up to say I've tried
Instead of waking up to another TV Guide
Its time now, I turn around
Turn and walk on this crazy ground"


Neither of us knew exactly what to say so we stood there in a comfortable silence for a while before Vaughn spoke up. Well actually he didn't speak but he put on the cutest, sexiest grin. You know the lop sided one where the side of his mouth curves up revealing no teeth, just his full lips and it just makes you weak in the knees. That's how I feel as he flashes me one of those smiles.

"What?" I ask self-consciously.

Vaughn shakes his head and looks down at the ground briefly before returning his eyes back to me. "You just took down SD-6, a rouge arms dealer group, who's been controlling your life for the past 7 years and you aren't jumping up and down, why? What's wrong?"

I can't help but smile, "Nothings wrong, I am ecstatic." I try to sound convincing.

Vaughn just shakes his head, "Fine, we don't have to talk about it. Well, congratulations anyway." He says smiling.

I feel really bad now, "It's not important."

"Yeah it is, so what is it?" Vaughn asks still trying to get me to open up.

I nod that I'll tell him but first I get comfortable. I pull myself up onto the table and sit on the edge letting my legs swing in and out from under the table. Vaughn smiled and moved closer leaning back against the table next to me.

"I'm a mobile
Hanging from the ceiling
Life's a mobile
Spinning 'round with mixed feelings
Crazy and wild
Sometimes I wanna scream out loud"


"I'm very happy sd6 is gone, believe me!" I said placing a hand over his on the table, "but I'm still stuck in this espionage life for awhile. Sloane is still out there, and he will continue to control my life until he's killed. My job's only half way done." I say with a shrug.

"Yes but an important half has been dealt with. You have more freedom now." Vaughn exclaimed and got up, starting to pace.

I smiled at how he was getting a bit nervous with saying I could do more, "What do you mean I have more freedom? What's changed?" I ask already knowing the answers.

He turned to me with a questioning look on his face like, 'are you really that naïve?' He quickly regained his composure, "Well I just mean you don't have to be so secretive. You don't have to sneak into the CIA, you can come right through the front door." I thought he was done and I was a bit disappointed but then he continued, "I could even give you a ride."

My head snapped up on that comment and his face started to turn red. I smiled brightly, "Yeah you could.I'm starting to see more of the upside in this."

"I'm out of my control
Everything's changing everywhere I go
Out of what I know"


Vaughn raised his eyebrow, "Is there a downside to taking down the alliance?" I thought about it for a minute and then realized I was being pessimistic and there really wasn't anything bad. I couldn't admit that though so I came up with something, "Yes there most definitely is!" I state matter-a-factly, "I don't get to wear those skimpy dresses and wigs anymore." I plaster on a fake smile but he doesn't buy it for a second.

He smiles, "I think I'll miss those more." My eyes grow wide then I see his too, did I really just say that out loud? Vaughn thought. I can't believe he said that! I try to play it cool though and I just smile and avoid his eyes. I see him turn red again, this time a deeper shade.

"I. I um…didn't," Vaughn started to trip over himself. Part of me was quite amused by it but I felt bad and decided to give him an out, this time anyway.

I jumped off the table and walked over to him. I patted him on the shoulder and I'm sure I had a huge grin on my face too. "Let's get out of here. I'm tired. Can you give me a ride home? My car is in the shop."

Vaughn let out a loud, evident sigh of relief, "Yeah," he said while nodding his head. I walked out ahead of him. I started to think, so my life was changing, but Vaughn helped me see change wasn't all-bad. Vaughn shoved his hands in his pockets and followed me out. In a way I was leaving my old life for a better one with more opportunities.

Everything's changing when I turn around

"I'm out of my control
I'm a mobile
Everything's changing out of what I know
Everywhere I go
I'm a mobile"
