Chap 3

He says and there is a collective gasp around the room overruled by Michaels surprised shout.

"What! You were pregnant and I never even knew! A baby? My baby? Oh god." He starts shouting and by the end his voice is barely a whisper.

"I was going to tell you that night in the car, but then you told me about Santa Barbra and I thought I'd tell you there."

"How long?" hanging his head in his hands tears in his eyes.

"Two months."

"According to my tests you were about 10 weeks along when you disappeared, the baby was lost around 26 weeks along. Though it's suprising that it lasted so long considering the amount of blood loss you suffered at your house that night. It also seems that there are excessive proteins in your body which can mean one of several things."

"So they induced amnesia?"

"Yes, I know that you may not want to go through whatever happened in the last two years over again but we need to know so that we can get whatever intel possible such as locations or identities of your kidnappers."

"It was Sloane."

"Arvin Sloane?"

"No, the other sadistic bastard that lied to me for 7 years then killed my fiancée and best friend! Who else would it be? I killed one of his prized assets and betrayed him! He ruined my life all over again."

"I'm going to kill him," said Vaughn in a fierce and icy tone.

"Take a number pal," said Eric pointing to Jack and Irina whose hands were quite close to their side arms.

"The scars are at least a year old they look like knife marks cuts and bruises, light torture maybe, and you seem to be in good physical condition even though seeing as you are a Bristow not nearly up to your own standards? The plane will leave in one hour and I assume that the three of you will be joining them to LA?"

"I will," said Vaughn finally mastering his poker face and turning to his mother and Alice, "will you come with us or head back to Paris like you planned?" "I don't have time for this Michael! I have important business to attend to and you are joining me!" Alice said outraged that he husband was so interested in this other woman. "I'm sorry Alice but I have to do this." "I'll stay with Michael, Alice and you go on your trip." "Thank you, Maman." "You know if she stays with us you'll have to tell her the truth soon." Sydney said before walking out the door in the direction of the exit with Donovan following at her side and Jack, Irina, Eric and the doctor following her.
