Summary: Vaughn is in trouble with Devlin from what happened in "The Box" duo. He thinks about what he thinks will happen. His POV.

Disclaimer: NOT MINE I TELL YOU!!! I sort of thought of the plot but had help with spoilers. DON'T SUE ME PLEASE!!!

I am wondering what Devlin's decision is going to be. I mean I know I am suspended because Haladki just had to go and report me. Is it just me or was he BORN with a stick up his rear. Either that or I'll be fired. I doubt that Sydney will be mine again, even if it is strictly handler to agent. If I am taken off, hopefully Weiss will be put on. That I could deal with since we are partners in this business.

Knowing Devlin it will unfortunately be awhile. He will want to talk to Sydney, Weiss, her dad, Haladki again. Just so he can make sure that he is right. Then he'll want to think about. Just to make me suffer. I know how that man's brain works. But I have to admit to myself... I am too damn emotionally attached.

Is being attached such a bad thing??? Yeah, I may fear for her life sometimes, but doesn't the CIA want the best double agent they have alive and kicking. And I care. The things Sydney has to go through. You have to care in this job. It's too bad we have the sorry people we do running this place. Also if this "man" that girl was talking in the building got a hold of SD-6, there is no telling what this "man" would have. The events at SD-6 have helped the CIA so much. Now we know that there are 3 C-4 explosives. Now we have that Rambaldi piece that we never would have gotten.

I try to think things out rationally. Weighing the good and the bad. I have Weiss and Sydney on my side. Sydney would probably give Devlin a lesson in self-defense. He would have to learn as she punched. I laugh to myself on that one. His field training would be no match for Sydney Bristow. Weiss would sit there and meekly nod yes or no… hopefully the right movements to the right questions. He knows he will have to listen to me go on and on about missing her, so he would help. God knows he hates sitting through my "chats". And my gold coin. I have considering keeping it at home, but what good would it do my thoughts here. Haladki will probably fabricate some story that I sleep with her in our warehouse. I can see that happening. He really is a slimeball. Her dad now. I helped them at SD-6, but I don't know if that would earn his trust. Probably not, considering our past.

Tick Tock

I sit here, waiting for any sign. A call. A page. Sydney herself. Weiss. Haladki. Devlin. The message. But I fear I know the answer. It will be get out of here. Pack your bags. Hit the road. Move along now.

Tick Tock

The phone rings. I let the machine get it. "Agent Vaughn, this is Devlin. Report to my office immediately." I sigh. I knock on his door and hear the muffled "Come in." Ugh, it's not cheery. Well, not cheery for Devlin.

Tick Tock

This is it. The last few seconds of sanity, but as I think, I wasn't sane the last couple of hours anyways... The decision is here. Hopefully he will let me say good-bye.
