Elevation

Author's note: Take's place after "The confession"

Sydney got up from her seat and said, "My mother?"

"Yes," Jack said.

Sydney ran out of the room. Vaughn ran after her.

"Sydney wait up!" Vaughn shouted.

She stopped dead in her tracks and waited for him to come to her.

He hugged her and said, "It's ok."

"My mother." Sydney said.

"I didn't know." Vaughn.

"But it's my mother." Sydney said as she began to cry in his arms.

"Let's go," Vaughn said.

Café

Sydney sat at one table as Vaughn sit at the one right behind her.

"Why didn't anyone tell me about my mother?" Sydney asked.

"I didn't know." Vaughn said.

"It's not your fault." Sydney said.

Vaughn sat a bag down on the floor. "I bought this for you."

Sydney picked it up. A book. An empty book. "A journal?"

"Yeah," Vaughn said. "You can write your feelings down in there. I do."

"You have a diary?" Sydney asked.

"It's not a diary, it's a journal." Vaughn said. "Keep it somewhere private."

"Ok," Sydney said. "Thanks,"

"Your welcome." Vaughn said.

"Another drink?" The waitress asked.

"No," Sydney said, "I'll have my check."

"Give it to me." Vaughn said.

Sydney smiled. "Thanks."

Sydney got up and left. As she passed Vaughn sitting near the window she whispered bye.

Vaughn smiled.

Cemetery

Danny's grave. Sydney put some new flowers at his grave.

"I miss you." Sydney began. "I know we would be getting married pretty soon. But your gone because of me. My secret. I let you down. But I promise you that I will get revenge on SD-6. That's a promise."

She began to cry. "If your watching over me like I know you are, I guess you know about Will and Vaughn. Will's a sweetheart, but I know it wouldn't work out for the both of us. But Vaughn, I guess you noticed I have feelings for him. I feel bad about it, but I know that we could never be together. Not until SD-6 is taken over. And it will be soon."

She began to walk away then looked back and said, "I love you."

Sydney's

Francie and Sydney had just finished dinner.

"Francie," Sydney said, "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Francie said, "What is it?"

"Do you think I would be a bad person for liking someone else?" Sydney asked.

"Who is it?" Francie asked. "Is it Will?"

"No," Sydney said.

"Then who?" Francie asked.

"Someone at work." Sydney said.

"What's his name?" Francie asked.

"Vaughn," Sydney said, "But that's not the point, should I feel bad."

"No," Francie said, "Danny's been dead for a few months now and he wouldn't want you to be alone."

"But," Sydney said. "Do you think its to soon?"

"No," Francie said, "He loved you and he wouldn't want you to be by yourself. You cant be all cooped up by yourself all the time."

"I'm not." Sydney said.

"That's good." Francie said, "So when do I get to meet this Vaughn?"

"I don't know," Sydney said.

Her cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Sydney Bristow." The voice asked.

"Yes," Sydney said, "Who is this?"

"We know." The voice said.

"You know what?" Sydney asked.

"You're a double agent."

"Who is this?" Sydney asked.

"Your playing on dangerous ground." The voice said.

The line went dead.

"Who was that?" Francie asked.

"A prank call." Sydney said, "I have to use the bathroom."

She checked the caller ID on her phone. Blocked. "Damn it."
