Chapter 7
Sydney's mind was a mess. She had no idea what to think or what to do. Will's words were burned into her mind…into her heart. Of course she'd thought of the consequences of having a relationship with Vaughn, and she knew that it'd be dangerous, but to here somebody else say it—Vaughn could be killed—just made it seem real. She knew that there was no way she could handle another person that she loved being taken away from her.
Sydney's thoughts were distracted by her pager going off. She had to go to work. She had to go to SD-6. She had to go to the work for the people who would kill the man that she loved it they knew he existed.
***
Sydney walked into Credit Dauphin and into the conference room. Sloane was standing at the front of the room, and around the table, Marshall, Dixon and her father were seated.
"Hello Sydney." Sloane said in his creepy way.
"Hi." She muttered as she sat down next to Dixon.
"Well, it seems as if the intel that we got about the supposed '2nd liquid' was false. That's why we've been getting nowhere with it. I've decided that it is in the best interest for SD-6 to end the search for it. We have a new mission. An invention of Rambaldi's had been rumored to be hidden in the underground vault of his 5th great-grandson in Rome. Since this heir is deceased and has no heirs of his own, the grandson's uncles have seized the property. No one knows what this invention is, and it is just a rumor, but whatever it is, it needs an underground vault so it will be a valuable asset to us. Sydney, you and Dixon are to retrieve the invention." Slone finished.
"Okay." Sydney said, not really wanting to be in Rome again.
Sloane went on to explain the details of the mission and Marshall gave his speech about whatever strange tools they'd need to break into the vault. Sydney tried to pay attention, but her mind was elsewhere.
***
Vaughn sat on a crate in the warehouse, waiting for Sydney. He knew that she had a new mission and that she was expecting a counter mission, but all he wanted to do was see her face, and kiss her senseless. He hadn't seen her since the day at the safe house, and he really did want to know how her talk with Will went. He loved hearing her talk, even if it was about Will. Everything she said, she said with such passion and conviction, and he loved it. Hell, he loved everything about her. He was still a little terrified of her dad, but Jack didn't know that they were being careful, and that he did think about the dangers of their relationship. He would never let anything happen to Sydney, he loved her too much.
So lost in his thoughts, Vaughn didn't hear Sydney come in until she cleared her throat.
"Hi." He said, walking up to her.
"Hi." She said softly, not meeting his eyes.
He got closer to her and leaned in to kiss her, but she pulled away.
"Maybe we should just talk." Sydney said, trying not to cry. She knew that Vaughn would see right through her, but she couldn't kiss him now, knowing that she may not be able to do it again, she would never want to stop.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing, I just think we should talk about my counter mission." She replied.
"Is everything okay?" he asked, growing more concerned.
"Yes. I'm fine." She said more forcefully. "Counter mission?"
"Okay…" he said, not really wanting to drop the subject, but knowing that he wasn't going to get anywhere. "Well, since we don't know what the invention it, we can't really make a switch with a fake, so whatever you find in the vault, take pictures of, and give it to SD-6. Whatever information they get on it, just leak to us, and we'll go from there." He handed her a small digital camera.
"Okay." She said, really wanting to go, and talk to him later, even if it was being unfair to him.
"Is this about your dad? Did he say something to you?" Vaughn asked.
"What? No. I mean yes, he said something to me, but it doesn't matter." Sydney said, kind of caught off guard.
"Sydney," he said, taking a step closer to her, "You shouldn't care what he thinks. I don't. I know he's your father, but—"
Sydney cut him off. "No, it doesn't have anything to do with him."
"Then what is it?" Vaughn asked. "Why wouldn't you kiss me?"
His eyes looked so sad, and she knew that she was hurting him but she thought she was doing what was best for him, and herself. "I just think that we should separate work from out relationship. You know, business from personal?"
"What are you talking about? You haven't had a problem before." Vaughn asked.
"I know, but maybe we should just wait until SD-6 is gone. I mean, everything is suffering, something has to go."
"What? What is suffering? Are you trying to break up with me?" Vaughn asked, half angry, half panicky.
"No, I just think that we have to figure something out. Like times to meet for business and times to meet for—"
This time, Vaughn cut her off. "Sydney! Love isn't about structure and organization! It's about doing what you feel and not what others tell you! You can't control everything in your life, however much you want to, and you definitely can't control love!" Vaughn said, trying to make her see his point.
"Love?" Sydney asked, focusing on that point of his speech more than anything else.
"Yeah," he said, smiling softly. He walked up to her and put his hands on her arms, "Love."
Sydney had tears in her eyes as he said that. "It's just so hard." She said softly, looking into his eyes.
"I know, but I also know that we can make it work. If I want to kiss you, but you don't want to, that's okay, just tell me. And if this gets to intense, we'll stop. No big deal. I just know that I can't wait until SD- 6 is gone to be with you. I love you too much." He said.
"I love you too." She said, leaning up to kiss him softly on the lips. "I know we can get through this, I just," she stumbled, "I just don't know what I'd do if something happened to you."
"Nothing's going to happen to me. We'll be careful. I mean, nothing's happened so far and I'm still here. As long as we don't do anything different, we'll both be fine." He said, trying to reassure her. "Well, some things different." He said, cracking a smile.
"Yeah," she repeated, "Some things different." She returned his smile, and leaned up to kiss him again, but this time, deeper, filled with passion and love from their recent confessions.
They pulled apart, but stayed in their embrace. Sydney leaned her head on Vaughn's shoulder, pulling him closer to her, never wanting to let him go.
To be continued…
I know that this one was kind of short, but the next one is going to come really soon (maybe tonight) because I already have the idea in my head, but there really needed to be a new chapter because it's going to be a totally different type thing kind of. Sorry for all of you craving drama, I know that this one was sappy, but it needed to be done, the next chapter will (hopefully) be action packed. Thanks for reading, and please review (even if you hated it) just so I know that people are reading…it's a nice feeling!!
