Chapter 6

You see the car drive away and you see Michael sit up he pulls out his gun but of course
they are already gone. He looks beside him and sees Sydney lying against the wheel blood
is coming out of her chest."Sydney," he says."Oh god Syd hang on."

He picks up his cell phone and dials 911 he tells them what's wrong and gives them the
address he then dials another number."Hello," Eric says.

"Eric it's Michael Sydney's been shot," he says.

"Oh god is she all right?"Eric asks.

"I'm putting pressure on the wound I've called for an ambulance," Michael says.

"Good I'm coming down," Eric says.

About ten minutes later an ambulance arrived and so did Eric"what happened?"Paramedic one
asks.

"A car drove by and shot her," Michael says.

They checked her pulse and got her onto the stretcher and into the back of the ambulance
Michael got in and sat beside her."Call ahead," another Paramedic says."Damn we're losing
her."

Michael looks terrified"Syd you have to make it you can't leave me," he says.

The heart monitor goes dead"starting CPR," Paramedic 2 says. He does they keep on doing
it and bring out the charger thing"clear."They put it down and it shocks her they do it a
few more times and are finally able to bring her back. They all look at Michael who now
is crying.

They get to the hospital and the doctors are waiting they bring her out and they go
into the hospital."What happened?"the doctor asks.

"She was shot in the chest," Paramedic 1 says."She's about 28 she's lost alot of blood but
fortunately her husband over here put pressure on the wound. She's pregnant she's about
six months along."

They took her into the operating theatre they took Michael to the waiting room he sees
there's a phone there. He goes to it as Eric comes in he sees him there Michael dials
Jack's number."Bristow," Jack says.

"Jack it's Michael I have some bad news," he says.

"What is it Sydney?"Jack asks.

"Yes she was shot," Michael says.

"I'm on my way," Jack says.

Michael puts the phone down and the picks it up and dials Francie's number"hello," Will
says.

"Will it's Michael I need you and Francie to come down to the hospital Sydney's been
shot," he says.

"We're on our way," Will says.

Michael then just goes over to the chairs and sits down and puts his head in his hands
Eric sits down beside him."She'll be all right," Eric says.

"Her heart stopped in the ambulance and they said she's lost alot of blood," Michael says.
Eric looks at him in shock"I don't know what I'll do if she dies."

"I'll call Bridget," Eric says.

Michael nods and just sits there shaking his head Jack and Irina come in followed by Will
and Francie.They see him and Eric sitting there."What happened?"Irina asks.

"We were about to go home when this car drove up and someone pulled out a gun I told her
to get down but it was too late," Michael says.

"Michael it's not your fault," Francie says.

He looks up at her"I know but it doesn't stop the pain," he says.

About two hours later Bridget, Juliet and Tom were now there and a doctor came
out"Mr.Vaughn," she says.

"Yes," Michael says standing up.

"Your wife is fine we were able to take the bullet out without further damage your
children are fine as well," she says."She's stable for now."

"May we see her?"Michael asks.

"Yes but just one at a time and only for a few minutes," the doctor says.

He nods"can I please go in first?"Michael asks.

Everyone else nods.

You see him go in she's hooked up to alot of machines he sits down beside her and takes
her hand he has tears in his eyes again."Hi," he says. He lays his hand on her stomach
"I thought I'd lost you."

He strokes her stomach and you see a nurse come in she smiles at him"hi I'm Claire I'll be
watching over Sydney," she says.

"Nice to meet you I'm Michael," he says.

"Nice to meet you to she'll be fine your wife's a fighter I can see it," Claire says.

Michael smiles at her and then gets up and leaves the room he goes outside and leans
against the wall and starts crying Juliet comes over and takes him in her arms."She's a
fighter she always has been she'll be fine," she says.

You see Michael a while later at home sitting on the couch he's staring at a picture
of him and Sydney taken just recently. They were in the park having a picnic with
everyone when Juliet took a picture of Sydney lying on her back and of him stroking
her stomach. He smiles and brings it up and kisses her. He gets up and takes a bag it's
some of her stuff. He gets in the car and heads to the hospital.

He gets there and goes into her room and sees Jack and Irina sitting on either side of
her talking to her. Her eyes are open she smiles at him when she sees him he smiles
back Irina moves out of his way and he leans down and kisses her."How are you feeling?"
he asks.

"All right a bit sore," Sydney says."Are you okay?"

He nods she strokes his cheek she smiles up at him"I love you," he says.

"I love you too," Sydney says.

She smiles at him"let's go Jack," Irina says.

Jack nods and kisses his daughter on the forehead she smiles at him and her mom does
the same thing and they leave. Michael sits down she smiles at him"I'm all right," she
says.

"I'm going to get the guy that did this to you," Michael says.

She looks at him and nods but then holds onto his hand"rest," he says.

She nods and she shuts her eyes and he smiles at her.

***

The next morning Sydney wakes up and Michael's gone but Bridget and Eric are there
she looks at the two of them."Where is he?"she asks.

"I don't know Syd," Eric says.

"You'd better not be lying Eric," Sydney says.

He smiles at her and shakes his head.

You see Michael standing in a deserted parking lot somewhere another car arrives and
you see its Jack.He gets out the car and walks over to his son-in-law.

"Where are you going?"Jack asks.

Michael looks at him in surprise"I'm heading for South Africa I got a lead I should be
back in a few days," he says.

"What should I tell Sydney?"Jack asks.

"Tell her the truth I want to get the guy that shot my wife," Michael says.

Jack nods"be careful I don't want to be telling my daughter that you're dead," he
says.

Michael nods and gets into his car and drives away Jack just watches him.

it's frustrating him.

"What do you want?"a voice asks.

He turns around but he doesn't see anyone"I'm here to find the man that tried to kill

"You won't find anything here Mr.Vaughn," the voice says.

"Why how do you know?"Michael asks.

"The man sent you on a wild goose chase he's not here he's still in LA," the voice says.

"Who are you?"Michael asks.
