"Joey's Pizza" the voice spoke into the phone, Sydney groaned in return.
"Wrong number" she said and hung up the phone, keeping her eyes closed. Amanda tiptoed towards the door as quickly and as quietly as she could. As soon as she closed the door behind her Sydney sat up in her bed, looking around. She slipped on her sneakers and grabbed her coat. She stepped into the living room and saw Will passed out on the couch. She smiled at him; you couldn't help but think he was adorable when he was asleep. Sydney walked over to Francie's room and looked in and saw Amanda asleep on Francie's bed as well. She wrote a note and stuck it onto the refrigerator and left. Curiosity filled her head as she drove down the street, 'what would Vaughn need to discuss with me?' she thought, 'We've only been apart for 1 or 2 hours.' She pulled into the very familiar warehouse and walked in, seeing Vaughn sitting on his usual crate in his usual spot, "Hey" she said, walking into the caged area.
"Hey," he said, looking up from a handful of papers, "Thanks for coming."
"Sure, no problem," she said with a smile, "What's up?"
"We got the results back from Amanda and Will's lie detector," Vaughn told her, "I thought you'd like to see it." He said, handing her the papers.
"Oh Okay," she said, the first paper was Amanda's lie detector test, "It looks good, I guess. I don't really read a lot of these." She said, shrugging her shoulders.
"She almost fumbled on 2 of the questions," Vaughn said with a serious tone in his voice, "The first question was asked whether or not she was Jack's actual Daughter. The heart monitor showed a slight increase but nothing to prove it was a lie."
"Well, she must've been nervous. She's not use to saying someone was her father or anything. It's understandable."
"Okay, another question asked if she had any intention to go against the CIA. Her heart rate was only a couple of beats under what we consider to be a lie. Devlin is a little hesitant of letting her join the team."
"Oh, please. Why would she help us escape from my mother if she's still working for her? Your just worrying over nothing." Sydney said, flipping to the next piece of paper. It was Will's lie detector test, "What about Will? Do you think he's working for K-direct?" She said with a bit sarcasm in her voice.
"No, Will's test were fine," Vaughn, said with irritation scatter in his voice.
"This is absurd. Whats so wrong with trusting my sister?" Sydney said, giving the papers back to Vaughn.
"Syd, it's not my choice," Vaughn said in defense, "Devlin is considering letting her join. We won't know until tomorrow," Silence fell as Sydney buried her face in her hands with a sigh. She has been so stressed out for the past couple days it was incredible. So many possible deaths, so many lives endangered, she needed a nice, long vacation. Vaughn reached over and placed his hand on her shoulder, "It's okay Syd. Just think of it this way, Will is okay. Will is alive and well. We're not going to let anybody take him away." She looked up at him.
"I know," She said, looking up and into Vaughn's eyes. She caught her breath; she never realized how beautiful Vaughn's eyes were before. A nice hazel/green, maybe she never wanted to notice before. An awkward silence fell amongst them, neither one of them knowing what to say, "I, uh, I better get home. I don't want Amanda and Will to worry about me. I'll talk to you later." She said as she got up and began to walk back to her car.
"Syd," Vaughn called out as he stood up, "If you have any trouble what so ever, you know where to call me." Sydney nodded in return and continued walking. Vaughn sat back down on the crate with a heavy sigh. He felt like he was back in high school, too shy to say his true feelings. He was so close to saying something; it was on the tip of his tongue. Why was it so difficult for him?

As soon as Amanda heard Sydney's car leave she got up from the bed and reached under the pillow, pulling the papers out. She scanned over them, reading only a few words that were of interest to her. She quickly learned about Sloane, Jack, Marshall, Dixon, Devlin, and much on Agent Vaughn. Not to mention codes and passwords. Amanda reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell phone and hit speed dial. After a few rings someone picked up.
"Yes?" a strict voice spoke into the phone, Amanda flinched in return. Was it bad time to call?
"It's Mandy," she said into the phone.
"Oh yes Amanda. Sorry about that, how's the mission going?" Laura said into the phone with a thick accent.
"I have some information on many of Sydney's affiliates. I also have a few codes and passwords." Amanda told her.
"Good work. How about the Lie detector test? How was that?" Laura asked.
"Fine, I suppose. I did the exercises you taught me"
"Good work honey, now time for phase two. I need you to break into the CIA's files and get as much information about Rambaldi and what they know about him. I will try to schedule a meeting with you as soon as I can." Laura said and then paused, "Have you seen Jack?"
"Yes I did actually," Amanda said with confusion, "why do you ask?"
"I was just curious. No reason. I must be going now sweetie. Call me back as soon as you have that information," Laura said and hung up the phone. Amanda clicked the phone off with happiness. Soon she heard Sydney's car come back, she quickly and quietly ran into Sydney's room and put the papers back in its rightful spot. She quickly went back to Francie's room and laid back down, but unaware that Will had heard everything she had said.
"Wrong number" she said and hung up the phone, keeping her eyes closed. Amanda tiptoed towards the door as quickly and as quietly as she could.
