A/N: Thanks for the reviews, I know leaving Matthew in the house isn't something Sydney would do but I needed her to so Matthew could be taken.

bWhere I Belong…Chapter 5b

Sydney paced nervously around the kitchen with Bruno following at her heels; the problem was she knew who had taken Matthew she just didn't know what to do about it. Sark had been watching her ever since that day she saw him at the hospital, strangely it hadn't bothered her, which should have been the first sign that something was wrong. She had waited for him to make his move and do something but he hadn't so she'd let him be and now he had done this. He would pay dearly she would make sure of it; he had taken her baby the one thing she lived for and he wouldn't get away with it.   

He hadn't left a note or been in contact which made Sydney wonder what he was trying to achieve she wasn't an active member of the CIA any more so it couldn't e information maybe he was just that spiteful. Sydney paced like this her mind working overtime until she couldn't stand it anymore she couldn't sit around and do nothing. She picked up her mobile phone and grabbed her car keys exiting the house. She dialled her fathers mobile

"Bristow" Jack picked up

"Dad" Sydney greeted him her voice came out calm and assured  

"Sydney is that you?" He sounded surprised and maybe a little annoyed

"Yes it is Dad…"

"What do you think your doing, you can not call me, no contact remember its part of going into hiding"

 "Well then sending flowers to the hospital was just as ridiculous" Sydney said venting some of her anger "But if you'll just let me finish a sentence you'll see that it doesn't matter I've already been found"

"What?"

"Sark, he's taken Matthew"

"He did what?" now Jack sounded out raged

"He took him!"

"And where were you?"

"I took Bruno out for a quick walk I was only gone a couple of minutes he must have been watching the house waiting for me to leave"

"Bruno?"

"My dog"

"Oh"

"Look I'm coming back to LA can you try and find a way for me to get in contact with Sark "

"There's something I have to tell you, the Alliance has been taken down but…"

"What how come you didn't tell me this before?"

"I was waiting till we had Sloane, you see he wasn't in the building at the time, now he has formed a partnership of sorts with Sark"

"So Arvin Sloane has my child, I don't that man anywhere near Matthew" Sydney said her anger growing

"Look I'll see what I can do, can I tell someone about this?"

"I spose Devlin if you have to, but don't let Vaughn know I want to tell him myself"

"Ok I'll try not to but he is a pretty high ranking officer now that the Alliance is gone he's been given a big promotion" Sydney could hear respect in her fathers voice but didn't dare to comment on it

"Ok thanks Dad, I'll see you soon"

"Bye"      

After disconnecting from the call with her father Sydney rang another number she knew by heart

"Vaughn" Sydney's heart melted at the sound of his voice "Hello?" he asked after she had been silent for a while

"Vaughn" She said her voice barely more than a whisper, on the other end of the line Michael Vaughn froze where he sat he didn't believe his ears he must be hearing things "Vaughn it's Sydney" her soft voice said, it was stronger now and he felt his pulse begin to race as he wondered why she was calling him

"Hi" was all he could manage

"I really don't have time to explain now and I know your probably mad at me for leaving like I did but I'm on my way back to LA and I need you to meet me when I get there, there are some things I need to tell you and I don't want to do it over the phone, is that okay with you?"

Vaughn nodded and then realising she couldn't see him said "Sure" as soon as he said it he knew what Weiss had always told him was true he would do anything for Sydney Bristow, when she had left it had destroyed him but here was agreeing to meet with her because it was what she wanted.

"Thank you, erm I'm not sure where we should meet cos I don't want too many people to know I'm back in LA"

"The warehouse" Vaughn said then quickly tried to justify his choice "It's still unused and no one goes there"      

"Great can you be there in about an hour and a half?"

"Yeah I'll see you then" Vaughn said hanging up before his emotions took over too much
