Chapter 4

"Shit. Sydney, What time is it?" Sydney looks at her watch.

"Damn! We were supposed to meet my father and Will over an hour ago!" At the mention of Will's name Vaughn became insanely jealous, he couldn't help it, it was a natural instinct.

"I'm gonna call my father on his cell." Sydney punched the number into her cell phone quickly.

"Jack Bristow Here" Jack spoke urgently into his cell.

"Dad? It's me Sydney."

"Sydney, are you all right?"

"Yes, I'm fine dad"

"Is Will ok?" Sydney quickly asked. A jealous look shot across Vaughn's face because of her genuine interest in her friend's well being.

"Mr. Tippin is fine, Sydney. Is Agent Vaughn with you" A curious look appeared on Will's face.

"Yeah, he's ok too."

"So will you two be spending the night at a hotel?" With that Will lost all control.

"Give me the phone Mr. Bristow, I need to talk to Sydney now." Jack roughly handed Will the phone. "Syd?" Will was anxiously waiting for her answer.

"Hi Will!"

"Who's this Vaughn guy?" Vaughn couldn't help but feel triumphant that Will was jealous of him.

"Just a guy from work"

"You mean the guy who gave you the Christmas Present?"

'so he knew!' Thought Vaughn

"Yeah, that's him."

"Look Sidney, you too better be staying in separate rooms, and if you have to share a room you better get twin be-"

"Will!" Sydney couldn't believe what she was hearing. Vaughn couldn't control himself anymore. He let out bursts of laughter as he tried to keep it in.

"Let me talk to my father now!" Sydney reprimanded Will. Jack shot Will a reproachful look.

"What? I was just worried!" He said as he handed the phone to Jack.

"Dad, I've been thinking, and I really don't think we could go to a hotel looking the way we do." Vaughn looked at Sydney, she was bleeding and her hair was completely out of place, of course, she still looked beautiful to him. Then he looked at himself. His jacket was torn and he imagined that his hair was sticking out at odd angles.

" I think you two should go to the airport, you will fit in somewhat better there."

"Yeah, I guess we could walk there. Then we could refresh ourselves in the bathroom and catch the first flight to LA."

"Sounds like a good plan. I'll see you later"

"Ok, bye Dad."

"Goodbye Sydney, see you in L.A."

"Dad, wait! What about Dixon?"
