Author's Note: Thank you all so much for the reviews! Yea, I'm a big fan of the Will/ Vaughn jealousy thing. I wish they did more of it in the show. I hope you like how it goes, and as always, reviews are requested and welcome, as well as suggestions on where to take it. (Oh, and this is completely off topic, but in the Daredevil movie coming out, Jennifer G. plays a woman named Electra, what's Ben Afleck's character's name? Just wondering.)
Thanks!

Vaughn shot him a look that said 'we will finish this later.' "Hello?" He answered, a little more irate sounding than he had meant.
"Will? Will it's me." Sydney, and she doesn't sound happy. *Shit, I hope she's ok. Wait, she called me, not hero boy, hmmm. Well here's my time to prove I'm better. Don't loose your cool Will, you don't need to fuel Vaughn's ego.*
"Syd, it's ok, it's me, what's wrong?" Will noticed smugly how Vaughn's head snapped up, shocked at the mention of Sydney's name.
Chapter 3:
"I'm sorry to call you, but I figured that you'd be at work. This way the CIA can know and you can help me with Fran too. I have to go on a mission. I leave, like now. They're not even giving me enough time to get a counter. I'm at home now, for like ten minutes to pack. SD-6 is having me find a locket that supposedly contains part of a Rambaldi manuscript page. It's in Rome. Can you get this information to Vaughn for me please? I'll do my best to get a copy of the page, but I don't know if there's anything special about the locket."
"Syd, don't worry, everything is going to be fine. Vaughn is actually right here, do you want me to ask him for you?"
"Will, thank you so much, but could you just hand him the phone? I only have five minutes left." Sydney sounded rushed, but not panicky. *She's used to this* Will reminded himself.
"Ok, sure thing. Syd? Please be careful." With that Will reluctantly handed the phone to Vaughn, who all but snatched it out of his hand.
*Why hadn't she just called me?* Vaughn wondered, a little jealous that she had called Tippin first.
"Hello? Sydney?" Vaughn sounded a little more urgent than he had meant to, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
"Hey Vaughn. I have to leave for Rome in five minutes. I'm looking for a locket that is supposed to contain part of the Rambaldi manuscript."
"Ok Syd. We don't have enough time to make a fake or anything. Do you have the equipment to make a copy of the page?"
"Yes, I still have the sunglasses with the camera in them that Marshall gave me. (A/N: Season 1: Episode 10: Spirit)"
"Ok, good. Is there anything else?" Vaughn asked, hoping that there wasn't.
"Sloane said something about an innocent bystander, born in LA, being taken hostage. He said I shouldn't endanger the mission by trying to save them. Vaughn, no innocent person deserves this, I'm going to get them out."
"Alright Syd, but please, be careful. I know how much you hate it when innocent people are involved, but don't get yourself killed over it." He just wanted to know that she would be home safe again. "I'll see you when you get back."
"Bye Vaughn." It bothered him a little that she didn't say something like 'yea, see you soon.' Just saying goodbye made him feel like she couldn't promise she'd be back. Well, it was just a gut feeling. Problem was, his gut feelings were usually right. After she hung up, he handed the phone back to Will. He must have looked a little disgruntled, because Will began to ask him questions, as if he doubted Sydney would be ok.
"When do you think she'll be back?" Will asked. *What I wouldn't give to know* Vaughn thought tiredly.
"I don't know," He honestly replied. "Excuse me, I need to go inform our director about this." Vaughn said, rather curtly.
"We'll have to finish our conversation later," Came Will's almost as curt response.
"Yea, we will." With that, Vaughn left to go see Kendall.
All Vaughn could think about on the drive to the Ops Center was his conversation, well if you could call it a conversation, with Sydney. It wasn't much, purely business, but there was something odd in her voice. Did she know something that she wasn't telling him? When he finally got to the Ops Center, he realized he couldn't remember anything about the drive there. *I hope that I followed all of the traffic laws. Not that it really matters now though.* When he got into the building, he went straight to Kendall's office. Vaughn approached the secretary sitting outside.
"I need to see Director Kendall NOW." He demanded.
"I'm sorry sir, he's in a meeting right now."
"With who?" He snapped. The secretary looked at a sheet of paper.
"Mr. Bristow," Came the dull reply.
"Buzz them now, please. Tell them agent Vaughn is outside and it's a matter concerning his agent." Noticing the ' I don't want Kendall to kill me' glance she gave him, he added, "I'll take full responsibility for the intrusion. This is urgent." She finally consented and pressed the buzzer to Kendall's office.
"Excuse me, Mr. Kendall? There's an Agent Vaughn out here saying he has a matter concerning his agent that needs your attention."
"Send him in at once." Came Kendall's voice. With a nod to the secretary, Vaughn opened the office door and stepped inside.
