Hey! I just want to say thanks to all of you who have read and reviewed my first Alias fic. This chapter is quite a bit shorter than the other three I have written, but there is a lot that could effect the rest of the fic in this chapter, so I hope you like it and please review! I really like to hear your opinions. Thanks. I'll have another chapter up shortly, but not for a few days, I have to write two papers for school before Monday, so I might be a bit crazy, lol. Anyway, I've done enough babbling, so enjoy!
Chapter 4:
~*CIA headquarters*~
"What do you mean they never came back!" Jack exclaimed.
"You heard what I said, they never got on their flight back to LA. We went back to the governor's palace, and the guests were out cold. Everyone was accounted for except for Sydney and Agent Vaughn." Devlin replied.
"Any ideas of where they could be?"
"No Sir, the only thing we know is that supposedly Mr. Sark was behind all of this."
"Damn him! Do you know why he is even involved?"
"Like I said, all we know is that Sark is probably behind all of this. If you want my opinion, I think his involvement probably has to do with the disk. We aren't even 100 percent sure that he is the one that's behind this."
"Fine, I don't want to hear from you again until you find out some solid facts." Jack snarled and hung up on him. He hoped to God that Sydney still had that disk and that Sark didn't.
~*In the cave*~
Hours had gone by and Vaughn decided to start on his project. He carefully got up so he wouldn't wake up Sydney. She looked so peaceful sleeping. He smiled to himself as he remembered the events that happened hours ago. He picked up Sydney's cell phone and began to get to work. He began to take apart the phone carefully, so he didn't destroy any parts that they would need. Soon after he got it apart, he carefully looked at it. A smile spread across his face.
"This might be easier than I thought." He thought to himself.
He began to carefully put it back together, in the way he thought it would work. An hour or so went by and Vaughn looked at his finished product. He wondered if it would work or not.
"I guess there's only one way to find out." He said to himself to answer all of his questions doubting this. He took the wires that he left hanging out of the phone and got closer to the fire. He slowly let the fire touch the exposed copper wires, and slowly pulled them away, so they would catch the phone on fire. He prayed this would work and hit the power button. The phone beeped and turned on, but the low battery icon flashed across the screen.
"Yes!" Vaughn exclaimed, which woke Sydney up. Vaughn quickly dialed the number he knew wishing someone would answer.
"Come on…." Vaughn whispered to himself, hoping the power wouldn't die on the phone.
"Hello?" the voice said.
"Jack! Thank god you picked up!"
"Vaughn? Where the hell are you? Is Sydney alright?"
"Sydney's fine. I don't have a lot of time because this phone is going to die. I'm not exactly sure where we are, but its very cold and I know that Sark is behind this, and…"
"Who has the disk?" Jack interrupted
"Unfortunately, Sark does. Have you found…"
The phone shut off and went dead.
"Damn it! No!" Vaughn hissed.
Sydney already knew what had happened.
"At least they have a clue about where we could possibly be."
"Yeah, but do you know how many different locations we could be in? We could be in Antarctica, Greenland, Iceland, Alaska, we could be anywhere."
"I know. I just hope they somehow find us. I don't want to die this way." She says quietly.
"I know, I don't want to die this way either. Our best bet is to try and keep warm and wait. That's our only option. The phones useless now, I ruined the wiring on it when I got it to make the only call it could make."
Sydney nodded her head slowly as she and Vaughn went back to lay by the fire.
~*Back at CIA headquarters*~
Jack threw the phone across the room in frustration. All he knew was his daughter might die by freezing to death, and that his ass was in trouble for not having that stupid disk. He pondered for a while, thinking of who could help him find his daughter and Vaughn. Only one person came to mind, and he hated asking them. He knew he had to though. He sighed as he got up from his desk and went to talk to that one person. He arrived shortly after leaving his office, and faced the person, and told them the words he never thought he'd say to them:
"I need your help."
~*Back at the cave*~
Vaughn sighed in his sleep, dreaming about being back in Madrid, dancing at the party with Sydney. She was beautiful, like she always was. They were smiling and talking to each other, just like everything was perfect. Soon the room was shaking, people were screaming, and Vaughn held Sydney closer to him as people were running every which way in terror……
Vaughn awoke with a start, and immediately noticed Sydney, who was shivering uncontrollably. Vaughn got up and put more wood in the fire, sat down, and pulled Sydney closer to him, trying to make her warmer. She slowly opened her eyes, and in a shivering whisper said,
"Vaughn…I love you so much…We're going to die, and I don't want to die without showing you how much I love you. Even though we just told each other our feelings, I know we've known how we have felt for a long time. Please make love to me Vaughn…I need you."
So…..What do you think Vaughn will do, and who do you think Jack asked for help? I know its not the best chapter I've written, but the next one will be better, I promise. Please review and let me know how I'm doing. ;)
