They had their mission. Try to intersect the codes that were being delivered to the Alliance. Codes for weapons of mass destruction among other things. Codes that were already dangerous, even without being in the hands of a bunch of rich psychos.

Sydney and Vaughn separated upon entering the building. She knew where she had to go; room 403. Vaughn headed for his post at the bar. His ear piece was his connection to Sydney's world, which was sometimes very frustrating.

"Sydney?" He said his mouthpiece picking it up.

"I'm taking the stairs."

"Okay. Be careful."

"As always."

Sydney glided up the stair corridor. She came to the fourth floor and opened the heavy door. She had barely cracked it open when she heard an all too familiar voice- Sloane. She slid back through the door.

"Vaughn. Sloane's here."

"What? Sydney, get back down here okay?" Just as he uttered those words he heard Sydney swear. Sloane was in the stairwell. Sydney quickly and quietly continued down the stairs. She whispered, mouth only half open. "Vaughn meet me at the bottom of the stairwell."

Vaughn didn't need to be told twice. He threw some money down for his untouched drink. He took quick strides over to the stairwell. Sydney burst through the doors, a serious look in her eyes. Vaughn's eyes flinched, as Sloane came out behind her. But Sydney didn't look panicked. She looked. like she had a plan. She walked confidently toward Vaughn, and mouthed, "smile". Vaughn broke out into his biggest smile, and Sydney walked up, cupped his face in her hands, and kissed him on the mouth. Deeply.

Vaughn's mind raced. He kissed back, but opened his eyes to see Sloane walk by, paying no mind to them. He knew he should break the kiss off, but he didn't want to. So he closed his eyes and kept kissing Sydney, but turning her so her back would be to Sloane. Finally, she came up for air.

They both gasped slightly, and then blushed. There was an awkward silence. Finally Vaughn cleared his throat.

"I think. we should go back home. There is nothing here anymore, and we should find out why Sloane left you out of the loop."

Sydney was slightly disappointed, but hid it well. "You're right. Lets go."
