Vaughn yawned deeply and slowly and cautiously opened his eyes once again to the unpleasant fluorescent lights of the Naval Hospital. Turning to his side, he found not Sydney, but the other Bristow. Jack.
"What happened?" It seemed to be a pretty appropriate question considering Jack was just sitting, staring, and not saying a word.
Jack spoke abruptly, "About 45 hours ago, we received a package from an unknown sender. That package contained the antidote that Sydney was retrieving for you at a plant in Estonia. We administered the serum and you should be back on your feet within a day or so." Jack stonily recollected.
"So,,...umm...where's Syd?"
"That, you see, we are not sure of...She never..well, we lost contact with her during her mission. The last thing we heard before losing the connection was Sark's voice. He said something about...about some kind of "deal" we believe...But now, we have the cure serum, obviously, but we don't know where Sydney is. But, we are guessing Sark has got her." Jack shakily relayed.
"What?!" Okay, now Vaughn was seriously thinking of giving Jack a good thump or to on the head, the man was obviously not thinking straight at all! Where were the search parties, the swat teams, and the highly trained agents???!!! Vaughn would have thought Jack would have the entire CIA force looking for Sydney by now!
"Mr. Vaughn! She is my daughter and I assure you that we have all the necessary agents looking for her right this moment!" Jack fidgeted.
"So what, we just sit here and wait around on our asses?!! Who knows how long it will be till those blockheads find her!" Vaughn couldn't Jack was only using CIA assets to find Sydney, when normally he would expect so much more. But then he realized what he had missed before,...Jack was on thin ice already with the CIA, one bad move and the CIA might just dump him altogether. And without the CIA looking, there would be no hope.
"Yes, we just wait, unless you have a better idea Mr. Vaughn." Jack deadpanned.
There was a long pause before Vaughn spoke again.
"In fact, I do."
