Like this story so far? I hope you do! Give me a holla and tell me what you think.
Forward to present time.
It has been a week since the tests were taken. Sydney remembered the doctors telling her she was fine. But Vaughn wasn't. She felt so terrible, Vaughn's sick. She thought to herself. The last time she was so worried about him was when he went missing after the mission in Tai-Pei.
"Miss... Miss?" I nurse asked Sydney. She snapped Sydney back to reality.
"Sorry...Yes?" Sydney replied.
"You can go see the patient now."
"Thank you." Sydney walked toward Vaughn's room. She goes in. Vaughn is awake, a little groggy, though. "Hey, how are you?" She pulled a chair next to him.
"Hey." Vaughn managed to say. "I'm doing great." He grinned.
Sydney grinned back. "In a couple days you'll be doing sprints." She reassured him with sarcasm. She pats his arm.
He quipped back. "Yeah, I was thinking of a Triathlon."
"I'm on another mission, my flights in an hour. I missed you; my dad gave me my counter-mission."
Vaughn took Sydney's hand and held it tight. "Be careful."
There is a nice long pause. They just sit there, hands held.
Vaughn's grip loosens, "Syd, I'm sorry... I'm so tired."
This time Sydney tightens her grip on Vaughn's hand. She thinks for a moment, she bends down towards face. She whispers quietly. "Everything we do...all the time we've spent together... and I don't know anything about you."
A pause.
She continues, "I don't know what movies you like, what books you've read...what music you listen to...I don't even know where you live." She thinks to herself, he so still, maybe he is asleep. "But I've always thought that...someday..after..after all this, that I'd get to know those things.
A long quiet, peaceful pause. Then.-Alarms- the heart monitor flat lines. Sydney jumps up.
"VAUGHN!" She shouts.
The doors fly open, a nurse and a doctor rush in. They pass by Sydney and pulls Vaughn's hand from hers.
"BP's 60 over palp."
"He's bleeding internally, Tell the OR we're on our way." They pull Vaughn's bed out into the hall and towards the elevators. Sydney follows.
They make it to the OR doors. They go through, Sydney follows but a nurse stops her. "Miss you're gonna have to wait out here."
"WaiwaiWait, what's happening? Is he ok?"
"We don't know, but you have to wait out here." The nurse tells Sydney, but the nurse notices an attractive blonde behind Sydney. She goes closer towards Sydney. And quietly tells her, "Your designated cover: you're with the State Department's Bureau of Arms. You name is Rita Stevens, you only a colleague. Give no details of his illness." And then the nurse disappears past the doors.
What the hell!? Sydney thought to herself. Of course, an undercover agent, how could I have not known that!
"Excuse me" said a meek voice.
Sydney turns around, up close; the woman is visibly distressed.
"Did they tell you anything? Is he alright?" They distressed woman asked.
"..no.." Sydney replied, confused about her.
"The paramedics called, I was home...I came as fast as I could. No one is telling me anything!" The mystery woman said, towards the end it sounded like she was angry.
Are we talking about the same guy here? She thought to herself. Bewildered, Sydney asked. "Why would they call you..."
"They just called his home, I was there... I'm Michael's girlfriend." pause. "Do you work with him?"
Sydney stands there stunned and shocked, she takes a deep breath, her heart sinks. "Yea......" Taken off guard. She replies.
"Uh, Yes, Sorry."
Just then Sydney's Agent instinct take over. "We're in the same bureau at the State. My name is Rita Stevens."
Alice sticks out her hand, they shake. "Alice.." She starts to cry. "I'm so sorry"
Sydney stands there for a moment; she felt like wanted to cry too. But once again her Agent instincts took over. "He's gonna be okay."
"Thank you ...excuse me." Alice walks off. Sydney stands there and stares as Alice leaves.
