Chapter 2: A Chat that Changes Everything
The next morning I awoke in the arms of Vaughn. That night I wasn't cold, I was in his embrace and there was nowhere else I would've rather been.
Later we had both mopped out of bed and went into work. We were both late but we didn't care. He sat right down at his desk and started to fill out long overdue stacks of paper work, while I on the other hand had a meeting.
I found my way over to the conference room but not without walking past Vaughn's desk. I walked in to find Kendall and two other men I didn't recognize.
"Hi, you asked for me?"
"Yes Sydney these men would like to speak to you." Kendall explained and then left.
The older man spoke while the other just stayed quiet by his side. "Please take a seat."
I hesitantly walked forward and sat across from the man at his desk. The quiet man then walked over and placed some papers before me, but he doesn't speak. The older man then explains, "These are confidentiality agreements. They forbid you from revealing to anyone what we're going to talk about. You do so, it's a felony." I carefully consider it and is still uncomfortable and confused. After I considerate it I decide to sign it. Suddenly, the quiet man reaches and snaps the papers away, and leaves the room.
The man doesn't waste any time with introductions but rather goes straight into questions. He flips on a voice recorder and asks his first of many questions, if I knew a certain name. I take time to think and then voice a confident "no." The man nods and then places a photo in front of me, "What about this man?" I pick the picture up and examines the man in it, "no."
I was still confused and unnerved, "Recently you were in France with Agent Vaughn, do you recall him using a pay phone?" the man inquired. My eyebrow furrowed, and I shook my head once again.
Thoughts began to race through my head, where was this going? The man asked another question about Vaughn being out of my site, "not long," I answered. He writes some things down and then asks another question with out looking up, "Are you and Agent Vaughn intimately involved?" My mouth almost dropped open.
I stand up abruptly, "Excuse me sir but that is none of your business."
"I know it is an awkward question."
"What is this even about? Who are you? Why are you asking me these questions?" I spit out rapidly.
"Sit down Ms. Bristow please." I look at him for a minute and then comply. "I'm a counterintelligence threat analyst sent here from Langley to investigate suspicious behavior of Agent Michael Vaughn." He explains.
My eyes grow wide and my breath is taken aback. What was he talking about? Vaughn? No this wasn't happening, Vaughn was the one person I could trust. My life has been full of double-crossers, but Vaughn one of them.
I wanted to ask all of those questions but all I got out was, ".what?."
"For the past few months agent Vaughn has shown suspicious behaviors. He's been in contact with many unapproved foreign operatives."
"There has to be a reason for this." I pleaded while trying to take all this in.
"Yes, there is and that's what I'm here to find out."
My eyes were filling with tears. He had to keep pushing though, "I'll remind you speaking to him about this is a felony and it would lead us to suspect you as well."
I got up at that point, "This is over." I turned around and walked right out. By now the tears were flowing down my face. I hurried to my dad's office but then decided I didn't want to get a lecture from him on trust, instead I wanted to go home.
As I rushed back to my desk I bumped into the one person I didn't want to see, Vaughn. I quickly wiped my tears away but it was too late, he'd seen them. "What's wrong Sydney?" Vaughn said reaching up and wiping some more of the tears from my flushed face. I wanted just to confront him right there about it but I knew I couldn't. "I don't feel good is all. I'm going home."
I started to walk past him but he caught my arm, "Syd? Talk to me. Do you want me to come with you?" He looked so confused and desperate to help, or was that all just another act. I quickly shrugged him off and made my way quickly to my desk. I grabbed my stuff quickly and left.
Weiss walked over to Vaughn who stood there left in the dust. He patted his shoulder, "Tough man!" Vaughn turned to Weiss and just rolled his eyes before moving past him.
