~Authors Note~ To all you people who look at these, I'll tell you right now, I do not own anything about ALIAS. Mmm'k? Mmm'k.
Chapter 1-Assigned
Sydney awakes to an annoying alarm clock and slowly reaches up to turn it off. She slumps her head back onto the pillow and wishes there were just a few more hours of sleep available. Pulling herself out of bed, Sydney rubs her eyes with the palms of her hands and starts getting ready for work.
An hour later, she is ready though still sleepy. Francie is in the kitchen, fixing up an early breakfast.
"Hey." Francie says to Sydney with a smile.
"Hi." Sydney replies, grabbing a piece of toast off of the plate Francie placed on the table.
"Another hard day at work?"
"You bet Francie." Sydney replies with a sarcastic smile.
"I still don't get what your still working there for. You should just quit and find a better job."
"Francie…" Sydney says, dragging her name out, "You know I can't. My job is very important. And it's very hard to just get up and decide to quit."
"Well, ok then. Just be sure to keep Sunday night open. We have our movie-thon with Will to do." Francie implies, poking Sydney slightly on the shoulder.
"Like I would ever miss that. Well, I gotta run, see you later. And have a good time at the restaurant today."
"See ya later. And I'll be sure to tell Will you said hi."
"Thanks Francie, bye."
"Buh bye!"
Sydney heads out to the car and drives to work. About a half an hour later, she pulls up to a parking spot and walks casually to the front door.
Reaching her desk, she sees Sloane and her father talking in Sloanes office. Her curiosity is running on full speed, but she sits at her desk and begins her work, pushing the conversation Sloane and Jack are having into the back of her mind.
She hears the door open and sees Jack heading for her desk. She quickly turns back to face her computer and a few moments later feels Jack's hand on her shoulder.
"I need to talk to you." he said with a stern voice.
Sydney turned around and looked her father in the eyes and asked "Whats wrong?"
"Just follow me." he ordered, and without another word, she obeyed.
Reaching a secluded area, Sydney faces her father and again asks for an explanation in what he's acting so weird about.
"Sloane has found the rest of the Rambaldi artifacts and we believe he is using a special force in Russia to put in all together." he states, giving her a concerned look.
Sydney gives him a look of questioning and he continues.
"I need you to go to Moscow and retrieve the brief case a man who is helping Sloane will be holding. But before you get the brief case, you need to gain the code. Now, I have set you and Vaughn up to have seats at tonight's opera being held at a very famous Russian Opera House. The man you are sitting behind of will have the code. You will distract him while Vaughn drops in a little bit of sleeping aids. You will then stop talking to the man until he falls asleep. But once you make sure he is, get the code and hurry up. Once he is asleep, you have 20 minutes to get to the room the man will be in, waiting for Sloane. He is to be in the room at 9:30, so be sure your in there before then. While your doing this, Vaughn will be in the security room watching the hall leading into the room. When he sees Sloane walking down the hall, he will inform you." he finishes, looking at Sydney. "He has already been informed of this mission, and will meet you at the warehouse in two hours." He gets up and heads to the door. "Good luck Sydney." And after that, he left. Leaving Sydney in the room to think of the night that lay ahead of her.
She decided to get some work done here, and leave after a little while to go home and get her things ready to meet Vaughn. Thinking over her plans for a moment, she gets up from her seat and heads to her desk.
She later glanced at her watch and saw that an hour has passed. Knowing that they are leaving in an hour, she decides she has accomplished enough for today at the desk and gets up. But only to see Sloane walking towards her. Her heart drops with the fact that he will most likely stop and talk to her. Which he did.
"Hello Sydney." he said, giving her a slight but noticeable smile.
"Hi." she replied, looking down at her shoes and then back to him.
"How have you been? I haven't talked to you in a few days."
"Fine. Busy though."
"Yes, I bet you have been. Well nice talking to you, but I must go."
"Bye."
"Goodbye Sydney." he said to her with a nod, and walked past her. She clenched her fists together slightly. Talking to him was like having your stomach punched repeatedly.
She unclenched her fists and headed to the door. Reaching her SUV, she drove the long distance home.
The drive home was, to her, oddly fast. But she had been thinking of the fact that her and Vaughn will be on a mission together. Just the two of them, and she loved that. She didn't want to admit it, but her heart just couldn't stop from skipping a beat seeing him at each and every one of their meetings in the warehouse. She got to the front door and fiddled around in her purse until finding her keys. Finding them, she opened the door leading into the empty house. Setting her purse down, she headed to her room. Smiling to herself with the thoughts of Vaughn in her head, she set some things into a suitcase and left the house.
Vaughn paced back and forth quickly, this being his biggest habit, waiting for Sydney to arrive. He heard a car pull up by the side of the warehouse and smiled. Sydney took a deep breath and turned the corner leading into the area where Vaughn was. She saw him and smiled too.
"Hey." she said, greeting him with a warm smile.
"Hey. You ready?" he said back, his smiling still there.
"Yep."
"Ok, lets go."
~~Moscow, Russia~~
Vaughn stands in the main room, leaning his elbow on the main desk, waiting for Sydney. This had become something he was used to, waiting for Sydney always. He sort of like it. Seeing her walk through the door, always looking just as beautiful as the last time he saw her. These thoughts kind of surprised him, but then again, he just knew it was something he couldn't simply shake from his head. Finally, he saw her walk through the door, wearing a long blue dress accompanied by a bright smile that made it impossible for Vaughn not to do as well.
"You ready?" she asked, looking down for a moment to look back up and see Vaughn smiling at her without saying a word. "Vaughn?"
Shaking his head quickly, putting his hand up to his forehead. "Oh, uh, yea. Lets go." he said quickly, stumbling over a few words. He offered her his arm and she accepted. They walk into the opera room, while Sydney wondered about the hesitation Vaughn had.
They got to their seats and found the man already sitting in his seat, sipping his tea.
A few minutes into the opera, Vaughn gives Sydney a nod towards the man in front of them and she takes action.
"This is a great opera house isn't it? I mean, look at the details in the walls…and in the corner parts of the ceiling! Just magnificent." she says, leaning in for her head to be next to his.
"Pardon me?" he says, sliding his head further from hers.
"Just look at the walls, aren't they beautiful? She states, slightly pointing her finger to the wall.
He looks where her finger is pointing for a few moments. But just long enough for Vaughn to put a few drops of sleeping aid in the mans tea.
Sydney notices him put it in his tea, and sits back in her seat. They wait a few minutes and see the man slowly drop his head to his shoulder. After making sure he's asleep, Sydney whispers to Vaughn, "Lets go."
