Chapter 30
It was early in the morning, the sun was rising and it colored the sky with its golden streaks. Sydney slowly approached the warehouse. Soon she wouldn't have to meet Vaughn in this damn place, but as she thought about it, she came to realize that the warehouse wasn't so bad. It was where her and Vaughn had met and had first shared their true feelings. Her thoughts caused her smile to widen, her dimples at full flare.
He was already there, like usual, but not pacing, not sitting impatiently, he was leaning against the chain link face, smiling. He saw her come in and walked up to her, embraced her, kissed her, his gorgeous smile melting her the whole time.
"It's almost over Syd" The words flowed though her. She felt like she was walking into a dream.
"Tell me about it Vaughn." They sat, side by side on an old, dusty crate, her hand in his as he tightened his grip slightly and kissed her forehead.
" Today, around noon, the CIA team will invade the Credit Dauphine building, blocking off every entrance and completely surrounding everyone at SD-6. Everyone will be handcuffed, even you Sydney, and will be taken away to be questioned, but you will be taken to the CIA building to fill out some paper work, and then you'll be free." He stroked her cheek gently and wiped away the tear slowly streaming down Sydney's cheek, "and the first thing I'll do, as soon as were rid of SD-6, is take you outside, where the whole world can see us, and kiss you"
"I can't believe it's finally happening," Her smile dazzled him, her beauty shone brightly as he held her tightly to him, caressing her hair, "we're almost free"

Sydney sat at her desk and glanced at her watch. 11:59. Any minute now her nightmare would end, her world of lies would be shattered.
"Everyone against the walls!" The CIA team had arrived. Sydney joined her co-workers against the wall as they handcuffed all of them. She saw Sloane being led away and felt a hand on her arm. His familiar voice filled her head.
"You have the right to remain silent." He was as gentle as possible as he handcuffed her and led her outside, where a group of TV Crews and Photographers were already gathered. He ushered her quickly into a black van and soon her father was brought into the van as well. Their handcuffs were removed and they sat, quietly, as Weiss drove the van back to the CIA office and Vaughn held her hand as she smiled silently.

The paperwork took long and was very tedious, but she worked at it until it was finished. She walked out of the room and to the door of the building where she met Vaughn, who hugged her warmly.
She took his hand and he led her outside, in front of the building. At the same moment Weiss and Jack walked out of the CIA building and stopped, watching them. Vaughn held her to him and smiled, as he leaned in slowly for their kiss, and as their passion was released and their kiss was deepened, Jack found himself smiling, for it was meant to be.
