It was four in the morning and Vaughn had finally sent Sydney to bed. She had been pacing around the house since ten, trying to remember anything related to the CIA or SD-6. Now, Vaughn sat slumped over on the couch. What was he going to do? He couldn't tell the CIA, they would put her in the witness protection program. The one thing Sydney had seemed to remember was the desire to take down SD-6.

Vaughn had tried explaining the events of the last year and a half, but it was useless. How do you explain what she had been through?

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. Vaughn jumped up. He glanced through the peephole and saw nothing. This couldn't be good. He quickly ran to Sydney's room only to discover she wasn't there. He started to panic. Had SD-6 not only wanted to brainwash her, but kill her as well?

"Vaughn?" Asked a voice from behind him. He instantly relaxed.

"Where were you?" Vaughn whispered as he turned around.

"I needed to use the restroom. Why are you whispering?"

"I think someone is here."

He could see Sydney tense. He knew that not really knowing who these people were, going only by what he had told her must be terrifying.

"Is it." Sydney couldn't finish. Vaughn only nodded.

"I think so."

"H-How do we get out?" She stuttered.

Panic was getting the best of her and it was starting to scare Vaughn. It seemed silly to him, but Sydney had been his weakness as well as his strength. Her courage and her smile had always given him bravery. Now, with Sydney so lost he didn't know how he could save her, or if he even could.

"They're in the room." Vaughn heard the voices at the exact moment Sydney did.

Vaughn reached for Sydney's hand, but she had crept towards the bedroom door.

"Sydney, no!" Vaughn whispered harshly.

It was already too late. The door was sliding open.
