Chapter 29
Vaughn froze. Had Sydney Bristow given in?
"Well Sydney," Irena placed the map on a small table near her, "what's made you change your mind?" Sydney grinned.
"Well, the one thing I want most is my revenge. If I join you, not only can I get my revenge, but also I can get everything else I want. I can get power, something that is above all things" Irena smiled, she looked pleased.
"What about Michael.or should I say.Vaughn?" Irena appeared amused. She knew that Vaughn was the one thing that would break Sydney, and If Sydney was willing to give him up, then she was serious. Sydney gathered up all her strength and spoke carefully and slowly.
"Screw Vaughn. I don't give a damn about him. We can work together mother, you and I." Vaughn stopped breathing. He could feel a tear sliding down his cheek. Could Sydney really have given in? She was either telling the truth or deserved an Oscar for acting.
"Well then, I'll be back for you in about an hour. You'll have to understand that I can't let you loose till then." Sydney nodded.
"Of course." With that, Irena turned and left the room. Vaughn sat still. He couldn't move. It seemed an eternity before the silence was broken. Sydney looked straight at him
"She's gone! What are you waiting for?" Her words where harshly whispered but they melted Vaughn with the relief he had needed. She had been lying. Damn, that woman was good. He rushed over to her and worked on the locks.
"You're good," he saw her confused expression and continued, " at.lying"
"Oh," she tried to smile, "Well, I've had practice." He felt horrible. He stopped working on the locks and kneeled down beside her, putting his hand to her cheek.
"I'm sorry baby, I didn't mean it like that" Sydney smiled and he placed a light kiss on her lips."
"It's all right." He continued on the locks, and a minute later, she was free. He signaled to the door and then began to leave but Sydney grabbed his arm and stopped him.
"The map." He nodded and she grabbed the map of SD-6 of the table and ran out of the room. They made their way through the familiar hallways, finding no trouble waiting for them, and were surprised when they were out of the building and in the safety of their hotel room.
Sydney and Vaughn exchanged looks and unrolled the map. In their hands they held the key to their freedom, the key to taking down SD-6 for good.
"Wow. I can't believe it" Her voice was small, yet filled with joy and as a tear slid down her cheek he reached to wipe it away.
"Do you know what this means Syd? You're free. Soon you wont have to worry, you wont have to lie, and soon, we'll be able to be together." She smiled. He couldn't believe it. Soon, they would be free.
