*Thank you all for your wonderful comments, they mean so much to me! I hope
you enjoy the chapter (*
Because Sydney called into SD-6 earlier that week, begging for a long needed vacation, they granted her a week of vacation. This gave Sydney time to learn more about her sister and possibly her mother. Will attended the self-defense classes provided by the CIA, so Will was able to go back to his house, go back to his Job, and return to an almost normal life. He was required to go to these classes everyday. He still visited Sydney daily after his classes, but Amanda was always by her side. He still remembered what she said the other day about getting codes and passwords; he tried to convince himself that he was half-asleep. He didn't say a word about it to Sydney, his new boss Devlin, Jack, or Vaughn. It still stuck to the back of his mind, every word.
Meanwhile each day Amanda gained even more access to CIA files, being cautious to make sure no one knew about her assigned duties. She contacted her mother more and more, telling her what she was able to get. She had a guilt feeling dig at the bottom of her stomach, betraying her sister and her father. She drowned the feeling with thoughts of how happy she was making her mother that was her goal. Her life goal, she needed to be excepted by her mother, everything she did in life from an A in math in the 3rd grade to taking out 5 or more agents. It was all for her mother.
Vaughn barely called all week, there wasn't much activity in the 'secret agent' world and he knew Sydney needed to rest for a few days after the traumatic weekend. Laura was hiding in the shadows, SD-6 was watching k- direct closely, the agent world slowed down for a while. Vaughn didn't enjoy it, he was suspicious of Amanda but couldn't find a real reason for it. Sydney was determined to fight for her sister's innocence. He monitored her actions secretly, if she made a trip to McDonelds he knew what she was getting, the time of the trip, and how much the meal cost. He didn't want to see Sydney get hurt once again. On a Wednesday afternoon he sat in his office reviewing various files, Weiss stood at his door and knocked.
"Hey Mike," he called to him.
"Oh Hey Eric," Vaughn looked up at him from a file. Weiss walked in and sat on the other side of the desk.
"You okay? You looked a bit frazzled," Weiss asked, looking at him with concern.
"Yes," Vaughn said without looking up, he then closed his eyes and put the paper down, "No, I'm not," he then shifted his eyes towards Weiss," There's just something about Amanda that I can't trust." he said leaning back in his chair.
"Mike, she passed her the lie detector test, she filled out all the paper work without a flaw. What if she's legit and wants to help us,"
"She almost didn't pass her lie detector test," Vaughn said with a sigh as he ran his fingers through his hair. Weiss gave him a small smile.
"Syd will be okay," he told his friend, "She's a big girl, she can catch a lie easily."
"She didn't with Noah, and that mistake almost cost her life." Weiss said, completely changing the subject. He looked down.
"Dixon is dead, " he clearly stated, Vaughn looked up with shock in his eyes.
"Where? How?"
"He crashed he's car the night you and Syd left," he told him, "SD-6 knows about it, but Sydney doesn't. We obtained files about his death and there was no foul play. He lost control of his car and crashed, he died almost instantly with a fatale blow to his head." Vaughn's mouth hung open, he searched for words to say but found none, "Devlin wants you to tell Sydney since you guys have such a close relationship."
"Okay," he said and reached for his phone. Weiss stood up and left the office, knowing Vaughn needed time to figure out how he was going to tell her, he dialed Sydney's number and waited a few rings.
- - - - - At Sydney's House - - - - - -
Sydney sat on the couch with Amanda, talking about childhood stories and events in their life, "So what happened after the movie?" Sydney asked in anticipation.
"Well it was raining and he pulled me close and just kissed me," Amanda shrugged, remembering her first kiss.
"He just kissed you? C'mon there has to be more then that!" Sydney egged her on with a smile.
"Well, he sort of paused right before the kiss and asked me if he could kiss me, and I was shocked for the first couple minutes surprised that he actually but I finally nodded and he just kissed me," Amanda said.
"Awe that's too cute," Sydney said, "I wish my first kiss was like that, the guy sort of," Sydney began but was interrupted by the phone ringing. She sighed, "Damn it, I swear I should just unhook the phone and burn it," she joked as the phone rang again, "now where is that damn thing?" she asked herself as she looked for it, she finally found it underneath the pillow and clicked it on, "Hello?"
"Joey's Pizza?" the said on the other line.
"Wrong number," Sydney said without any hesitation. She was actually happy it was Vaughn, she hadn't seen nor talked to him since the day they got back, "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah just a little bit," Amanda said leaning back.
"Me too, I suddenly have a strange craving for Big Whopper. What do you want?" Sydney asked standing up and slipping on her shoes.
"I'll have the same," Amanda called to Sydney as she rushed to the door, "hurry back!" but Sydney was already out of the door. After a short drive she arrived at the very familiar warehouse.
"Hey," Sydney said as she walked into the caged area.
"Hey," Vaughn said sitting on a crate, sadness crept in his voice, "I have some news for you. You better sit down." He told her. Confusion grew on her face but she obeyed.
"What's wrong?" She asked with concern. Vaughn looked at her straight in her eyes, he hated hurting her but she had to know.
"Dixon is - he's," Vaughn tried to say but couldn't bring himself to say the words. He lowered his head
"He's what? What happened to Dixon?" Sydney asked in a serious voice, she reached over and placed her hand on top of his, "Tell me." Vaughn sighed.
"He's Dead," he said above a whisper, Sydney gasped and pulled her hand away and covered her mouth. Her eyes searched for the words to say and reasons why this had happened.
"How?" she asked, not letting her emotions get ahold of her.
"The night after he confronted you, he crashed his car and died from a head injury," Vaughn said, keeping his head down. He couldn't stand seeing her hurt.
"Did SD-6 do this?" she asked standing up.
"No, I mean we're not sure. It seems it was just a regular car accident, "Vaughn said but Sydney shook her head.
"That's not the true. He knew too much, you guys had to kill him. I killed him," Sydney said tears reaching her eyes but she fought to keep them back. Vaughn stood up and placed both his hands on each of her arms.
"No, Sydney, you didn't. It's not your fault." Vaughn said, trying to soothe her but she shook free from her grip.
"Don't touch me," she told him and quickly walked out of the warehouse. Vaughn didn't follow; she needed to be alone. Time to let this news sink. Sydney walked up to her car and stepped in and just drove, she didn't know where but she didn't care. Tears streamed down her face as she drove down the streets. She arrived at Will's house. Why? She didn't know. She ran up to his front door and knocked, praying he be home. She didn't know what time it was but luckily he was home and answered the door.
"Syd," he said at the sight of her, "What's wrong?"
"Will, Can we talk?" She asked, holding herself.
"Of course, come in" he said wrapping his arm around her shoulders, but she didn't shake him away. They walked into his living room and sat down on the couch. More tears came to her eyes as Will attempted to wipe them away, "What happened?"
"One of my partners from SD-6 was found- he was found," she sputtered out but Will pulled her into a hug and shushing her. After a few moments, the tears almost came to a halt. They sat across from eachother, "I didn't know where else to go I just drove and ended up here, "She told him and a small smile grew on Will's face but the expression on Sydney's face remained serious. Without any warning she leaned forward and softly kissed his lips.
