Sydney was going insane. When she first saw the room, she thought it was large, and that three weeks would be easy to do. But after only a day, she felt the walls were moving closer together. She suddenly shot up. "Sydney, where are you going, it's your move." Nancy said. Sydney looked in her hands. The seven cards looked dull.
"I-I think I need to run." She said. She put the cards down, and began to run around the room like it was gym. The guards eyed her narrowly.
"What are you doing?" Alex asked, running with Sydney.
"They can keep me in here as long as they want, but I just need to run." She explained.
"Ok." Alex finished the lap with Sydney, and then sat down with a handful of other agents. Sydney was glad that she was running alone. Running gave her a chance to think. She saw the agents who had been there a while. They looked pained. Sydney couldn't help but immediately feel sorry for them. She looked at the guards. They looked almost bored. If everyone decided that they wanted to escape, they could have, and it would have been easy. If this was a normal hostage situation, this is when Sydney would have run. When the guards were bored. She closed her eyes for a second as she ran. She heard some giggling from the young agents. She opened her eyes, to see Vaughn now standing at the door. He had taken Weiss's place. One of the other guards leaned over and whispered something to Vaughn. Sydney inwardly smiled. Vaughn had obviously come from his break. He was wet from after a shower. And it took all of Sydney not to run over and kiss him. He looks so sexy. She thought. After almost twenty minutes, Sydney sat against a wall. She threw her head against the wall. The bang it made, echoed throughout the large room. She sat there, eyes closed for a while. Minute after minute passed. Sydney could feel herself drift off into sleep. The dreams flashed across her face.
"Wake up Jones." Someone said, kicking her awake. Sydney stirred, but didn't wake yet. "I said wake up!" He kicked harder. Sydney's eyes shot open, and she quickly stood up. "Let's go." He snarled. Sydney began walking to the door, with the gun still pointing into her back. At the door she was stopped by Weiss. He put the blindfold over her eyes, and she was then shoved out the door. For a moment there was no one near her. She stood out in the hall alone. Then she felt someone gently take her hand.
"Vaughn?" She said.
"Yeah, come on." He said, he gently took her hand, and led her around several corners. Where he then took the blindfold off.
"Hey." Sydney said.
"Hey." Vaughn replied. Sydney leaned over and gave Vaughn a long and passionate kiss.
"Me too." Vaughn said.
"What movie did you get?"
"Well, I did some research."
"What?"
"Let me continue. And I discovered your favorite movie." He pulled something from his back pocket (they were really big, and it was just a DVD) and pulled the DVD of Moulin Rouge.
"How?" Sydney asked.
"I called Francie looking for you, and I just asked her."
"You are so sweet." Sydney said.
"Come on, we can watch this in one of the rooms."
"You risked your life for me?" Sydney said, knowing that he calling like that risked his life.
"Everyday." He put the disk in, and the two sat in the couch across from the TV.
"Hey, Weiss said something about real food." Sydney asked, realizing how hungry she was.
"On that table." Vaughn said, pointing to a table where a bag of food sat.
"Thanks." Sydney looked inside and gave a slight squeak. "This smells so good." She said, taking a deep breath of the warm food.
"Shhh, come on, it's starting." Vaughn said. Sydney smiled as the crazy conductor came onto the screen. She sat there perfectly content, as she sat there, her head on Vaughn's shoulder.
"I don't want to go back to that room Vaughn." Sydney said, as the movie drew closer to the end.
"Well, tough it." He said, distracted by the movie.
"Tough it? What kind of response for your girlfriend?"
"An honest one."
"Well, I like honest."
"Good, because that is one of those things I like about me. That and I have the most beautiful girlfriend." He said, kissing Sydney. Sydney just sighed. She made a funny face as the credits began to scroll up the screen. "Did you know it ended like that?" Vaughn asked.
"Did you like that Vaughn?" Sydney asked.
"As much as the macho part of me doesn't want to admit it, I think I did."
"I think that liking it makes you macho-er." Sydney said.
"You never answered my question Syd."
"Yes. And they told you at the beginning." Sydney leaned over to give Vaughn a kiss, when they heard footsteps outside of the room. Their eyes darted towards the door where they could see the back of Weiss' head. Sydney quickly pulled away from Vaughn and sat on the other side of the couch, picked up a magazine from the coffee table to pretend to read. Vaughn quickly turned off the DVD player and put the sports channel on; all within the 10 seconds it took Weiss to open the door.
"Bristow, it's time to go back." Weiss said.
"It was nice to talk to you Agent Vaughn." Sydney said, walking towards the door.
"You too." Vaughn said, watching the TV still.
"Mike, you too." Weiss added. Vaughn picked up the remote and turned of the TV. "Who's winning?" Weiss asked.
Vaughn, who hadn't really been paying attention to the TV, froze. "Uh, we are." He quickly said.
"Yesterday you said we didn't play. Come on, who was winning?"
Vaughn froze. He remembered that conversation. "I didn't get a chance to see the score. There was a movie on another channel, and I just flipped to the game." Vaughn said. He smiled at the fact that it was half way true. As did Sydney.
Weiss took the blindfold out of his pocket, and covered Sydney's eyes.
"Back to the room." Sydney mumbled. "Joy."
