A/N: Okay so since it didn't sound like you guys were ready for what I
hinted at in the last chapter I left it open enough that I'm just gonna
make her sick with something so yeah. Thanks for all the great reviews!!
"Oh crap not this now" I thought "I can't be sick, I will have so many meetings when I get back!" Then I fell asleep.
When I woke up, Francie and Vaughn were already up, placing food from the continental breakfast on a table. "Good morning Syd." Vaughn said and walked over to kiss me.
"Hi Syd, how are you feeling." She still had worry in her eyes but I smiled to make her feel better.
"I feel fine, it must have been from stress." I said, referring to my late night trip to the bathroom.
"Okay good, so now you can eat. We took liberty of taking food from the free food booth thing downstairs and here's what we got. Fruit, donuts, coffee, more coffee, and more donuts. We even got maple bars, I know they're you faves." I slid out of bed and grabbed a maple bar and a cup of steaming coffee. We sat around the table, sharing stories and laughing.
By the time my father had come, we were still in our pj's. He gave us a disapproving look and told us to get dress because we were leaving in an hour.
"Gee thanks for the warning dad." I said after he had left. We abandoned our food and got dressed. We were even ready with 15 minutes to spare even though Francie insisted that she needed to style her hair.
When we arrived at the hospital, we found that Will had already been transported to LA during the night. He had made it safely and was in recovery. From there, we went to a small airport about half an hour from Port Townsend. We hopped on a small plane and we were in LA by 12 noon. Another hour of driving brought us to the CIA where we had to tell them everything and had to see what would be done about Francie, since she had learned everything.
An agent came for Francie as soon as we got there, my father had called ahead, and Vaughn and I were brought to a room with a stack of papers and 5 pens each. I remembered the time when I had first walked through the doors of the real CIA and when I first met Vaughn, I had asked for another pen because I had used mine already. From the smile on his face, I guessed that he was thinking the same thing. I spent 2 hours writing everything down. I had to leave and wait for Vaughn who had to put a year's time of notes down. He took 2 more hours. When he finally came out Agent Kendall was waiting for us. He escorted us to a meeting room where he motioned for us to sit.
"Agent Vaughn, how do we know that you are trust worthy?" He asked suddenly.
"You don't sir but as long as Sydney is in my life I wont do anything to betray this country or to destroy what she has worked so hard to do." He said and I smiled proudly at him. He squeezed my hand under the desk.
Kendall looked at us suspiciously but continued. "Agent Bristow, did you at any time believe that Agent Vaughn was putting your life on the line?" he asked.
Oh only when he stabbed me in the back with a three foot needle and brought me to my mother and almost tried to stop me from escaping but ended up jumping out of a window with me. I thought but instead I said "Well there was a time when I first met him again when he knocked me out, but that was only because if he didn't bring me to my, Irina, she would have had snipers get us both. He was the one that helped me escape from Irina's grasp.
"I see, but how do I know-" Vaughn interrupted him.
"You have all the cause in the world to doubt me, Agent Kendall, but why would I serve the woman who ruined my life? Why would I do anything to hurt Sydney, the woman that everybody by now knows, that I have an emotional attachment to?" Vaughn said, Agent Kendall looked taken aback.
"Well we will look through your papers that you wrote after you got back but now both of you may go home until further notice. You both look like you need some medical care and some rest." Kendall said, dismissing us.
"Thank you sir but we are really fine, just some rest will do us good." I said.
"Okay Agent Bristow, go home now, but before you do, may I remind you about protocol between agent and handler." He said looking down at Vaughn and my hands, which were grasping the others. We broke apart and Kendall frowned. "Do something about it." He said and walked out of the room.
We walked through the CIA and were almost out the doors before we heard "Mike? Is that you?" and Weiss come bounding up at us. "It really is you!" he said and hugged him. "You look like crap man, you better get home and get some rest. Man, we have some catching up to do." Vaughn glanced down at his left hand, which had a gold band on a certain finger.
"Obviously" Vaughn said and smiled. "Bye Eric, I'm sure that I'll see you soon, whether I want to or not." He joked.
"Yeah bye man" Weiss said and Vaughn and I left the building. We were almost to our cars when Weiss came running at top speed towards us.
"Sydney! Mike! Come here quick. Oh my god, you wont believe it!" he said and we ran after him. When we got back inside my father was there with a mission folder. My heart sunk, I was going on another mission when they promised me some rest. He handed me the folder without a word and I opened it.
"Oh my god." I gasped as I handed the folder to Vaughn. It was the mission for bringing down SD-6 and the Alliance.
"Oh my god, is this-" he was cut off by my father.
"Yes it is. Tomorrow morning, Sydney you wont be there, but a team will go in and take down SD-6. Soon after the Alliance will be brought down as well. It was all due to you, Mr. Vaughn, your information that you brought back was all we needed to complete Sydney's last mission."
I just turned towards Vaughn and flew into his arms. I didn't care who was watching, Kendall already knew that we were "emotionally attached" to each other.
"Sydney, you will be at home until the take down is complete. There will be agents all around to make sure that nobody from the Alliance gets to you." My dad said, I suddenly felt a wave of fear.
"What will happen to Marshall and Dixon?" I asked.
"Ah yes, if they want to they can join the real CIA." Kendall said.
At last, everything was going right. As soon as next week I could be with Vaughn in public whenever I wanted. I could walk around without having to look behind my back. I wouldn't have to tell any more lives and I could have the normal life that I always wanted. I could finally have the life that I wanted and was free to say, "What more could go right?"
A/N: Okay I know that I ended this story there, but I'm already starting a sequel to What More Could Go Wrong so hang tight and it will probably be hitting the Just In shelves as soon as the 3rd. Thank you all for reviewing and please review this chapter too! In addition, whoever stuck with me from the very beginning, YOU ROCK!
