Missing Sydney- Chapter 9

Devlin told Jack to bring Sydney and Vaughn back to LA for debriefing and they would decide what to do next after that had been dealt with. He was sending details of the flight and where they could pick up passports to Jacks laptop. Jack hung up the phone and turned back to the younger pair of agents who were laughing at something.

"I am going to fetch my laptop from the car I suggest you gather together any belongings you need we are being booked on a flight out of here shortly"

"Okay Dad" Sydney stood and headed towards the door and Vaughn followed suit Jack left the kitchen last

Once Sydney had repacked her bag she put it in the corridor then went to check on Vaughn. He was putting things into his duffle bag and Sydney crept up behind him and put her arms around his waist,

"You managed to unpack a lot of your stuff," Sydney said looking at the pile of clothes he was transferring from the bed into his bag "How long did you think we would be staying here?"

"Oh I didn't think we'd be here that long but I unpacked when I couldn't sleep last night" He turned round to face Sydney and she moved her arms so they were around his neck. He kissed her tenderly and she smiled at him and it was a real smile happy and calm 

"I feel like I'm finally back on track, my life is going in the right direction again this past year I had moments where I felt so useless like I had let everyone down by running away"

"Never feel useless Sydney, you gave some of the best years of your life to your country you deserved some time to take a brake no one blamed you for needing to get away" He looked into her eyes and the seriousness in his was reflected there, he started to lean towards her but Jacks voice broke the moment

"Sydney, Agent Vaughn?" His voice somehow managed to carry from the kitchen even though it wasn't shouted, "I have some covers here for you to look over"

Sydney chuckled quietly then lightly brushed her lips over Vaughn's before heading back into the kitchen where her father had managed to set up his laptop and portable printer he handed her a sheet with her cover on,

"Hmm, Georgiana Fairfax, sounds like a spoilt little rich kid" Sydney said reading the name at the top of the paper then scanning the rest of the sheet to find out that's exactly what she was. Georgiana was the only daughter of millionaire Chris Fairfax, a daddy's girl through and through. She and her fiancé, Richard Klint, were travelling home with her father after an extended holiday.  Oh this would be interesting to see, aware that her father was watching her reaction quite closely as she read the sheet she hid the smile that spread across her face at the thought of having to pretend to be Vaughn's fiancée.

"Sounds like fun" Sydney said with a mischievous grin earning a stern glare from her father

"Devlin says that there is a special compartment in the back of one of the wardrobes with all sorts of disguises we can use"

"Okay I'll go look for it" Sydney said exiting the kitchen with another grin in her fathers direction just to annoy him.
