Trust

Sorry if Jack and Sydney were a little out of character, but there is a reason behind everything that I do. I promise that this will all make sense at the end of the story.

Chapter 2

If I owned them I would have a much bigger CD collection. But, alas I don't own anything.

It was too much to think that the man she was in love with was cheating on her. With some unknown pretty short girl! That was hard for her to wrap her mind around. But, to think that this woman, this girl even had been seeing him for years was painful. She rushed around the corner and slammed into the man she was looking for.

"Syd, I can see by the anger you found out about D. Come on, let's talk." Vaughn dragged her into his office, he closed the door and then Sydney exploded.

"How could you not think that I'd be angry Michael? I mean lord it's not like I told you I love you yet, but the least you could have done was let me know that you had someone else. That this was some casual fling to you. And let me tell you Michael, I don't know what you see in this D person. She's not prettier then me. Does she know about us?" Sydney demanded.

"It's not that simple Sydney. There are other factors." Vaughn tried to explain.

"Like what? Oh lord, what else could there be?"

"We're married and have 6 children. Lola, Liam, Torque, Silva, Light bulb and Coconut. I'm sorry." Vaughn hung his head in shame.

"Lola? Who names their child Lola? If you recall from the song, Lola was a drag queen." Sydney said as a matter of factly.

"Well we love him. D and I are very happy together." Vaughn explained.

"Well good. In fact I'm glad. I don't want to be with someone who names their children Lola. Goodbye Vaughn." Sydney then sprouted wings and flew away.
Sydney woke up with a start. What a weird dream. She was so jealous of Vaughn and D. D. What kind of a name was that? Man, her subconscious needed some work. She felt Michael stirring next to her. She looked at him and brushed his hair out of his face and tried to imagine him actually cheating on her. She laughed quietly to herself. He wasn't like that and it was silly of her to act like a jealous fool in the dream. Well, jealousy is a driving force..

"Syd?" Vaughn had woken up, "Hi." He smiled at her.

"Hey." He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her hair.

"I like waking up next to you." He said. She could feel him smiling.

"Well, good. That makes two of us. Hopefully it will stay like this for a long time." She said.

"It will." He kissed her neck and Sydney felt her heart speed up, "You know the alarm won't go off for another 45 minutes. What should we do till then?"

Sydney giggled, and the two of them kept very busy until the alarm went off. Sydney thought she just had a weird dream, how could she know that it was an omen of things to come?

CIA Offices later that day. . .

Jack Bristow made his way to Michael Vaughn's office. He knocked on the door and let himself in.

"Jack? Is something wrong?" Vaughn asked.

"Have you seen Sydney?"

"Not since this morning. She said she had some errands to run before she came into the office today. I think she was going to go see her mother." Vaughn glanced at his watch, "That was over three hours ago."

"She hasn't called?" Jack was getting a little worried.

"I'll try her cell." Vaughn dialed the familiar number and got voice mail, "She's not answering. Maybe she's at home." Just as he was about to dial, Jack's cell phone rang.

"Sydney?" Jack answered.

"Dad? I'm sorry about missing lunch, but my car broke down." Sydney sounded upset.

"Where are you, I'll go pick you up." Jack asked.

"Um, I'm not really sure. Oh, hold on, there's a street sign, Las Flores Via, I'm near an old factory and a lake."

"I know where it is. I'll be there in a few minutes. Sit tight." Jack hung up the phone.

"Was that her? Is she ok?" Vaughn asked.

"Yeah, I'm going to go pick her up now." Jack left quickly.

Vaughn sighed in relief. Well, at least Sydney was ok.

"Hey, Mike," Eric Weiss stuck his head into Vaughn's office.

"What's up Eric?"

"Kendall told me to tell you that your girlfriends on a mission. She'll be back later on tonight." Eric saw the color drain out of Vaughn's face, "What's wrong man?"

"Are you sure she's gone? Like she's already left?" Vaughn demanded.

"Yeah, like two hours ago. Why are you freaking out? It's nothing big, she'll be back tonight." Eric shook his head in disbelief; "You can't even let her out of you sight for a minute. Man, you are in it deep."

"Eric, is she on a plane or did she drive there or what?"

"Plane. She went to Washington. What's the problem?"

"I have to go. See if you can contact Jack and tell him that Sydney's on a mission. Shit, this is totally a trap." He grabbed his phone and left the office in a rush.

"Wait, Mike! What's a trap? Where are you going?" Weiss called after him.

Mike ignored the questions and ran down the stairs, hoping that Jack hadn't left to pick up "Sydney" yet. He got down to the parking lot just as Jack's car tore out. "SHIT!" He pulled out his phone and dialed Jack's number as he ran to his car. He unlocked the door as the phone continued ringing. Voice Mail. "Jack, this is Vaughn, don't go pick Sydney up. It's a trap. She's in Washington! I repeat don't go. Get out of there!"

He drove out of the parking lot as quickly as he could and turned in the direction Jack did. He looked at the cars up ahead and spotted his, maneuvering around the cars in front of him he attempted to catch up. As he turned a corner, his brakes suddenly gave out. The car slipped into a ditch and was heading for a tree; Vaughn pulled the emergency brake in vain. He tried turning the wheel, but nothing. Well, there was always the option of jumping out. He unbuckled his seat belt and tried to open the door. The last thing he saw was his car slamming into a tree as he fell to the ground unconscious.

~*~

Jack pulled out of the parking lot and made his way to Sydney's destination. It took him only 20 minutes until he pulled up to the Las Flores Via street sign. He stepped out of the car and looked around, it looked deserted except for the car sitting on the side of the road 100 feet in front of him. "Sydney?" He walked over to the car and found it empty. He pulled out his phone and 1 message, must be Sydney.

"Jack, this is Vaughn, don't go pick Sydney up. It's a trap. She's in Washington! I repeat don't go. Get out of there!" He turned off the phone quickly and looked around. He glanced at his car and pulled out his gun. Suddenly he felt someone approach him from behind; he swiveled around and was more then surprised when he found a very familiar face standing there.

"Goodbye Bristow." Jack fell to the ground as he was hit from behind with a metal pipe.

~*~

Sydney got comfortable in her plane seat. She glanced at her watch and realized that she should be having lunch with her father right now. She hadn't had time to talk to him or Vaughn before she got on her plane. Kendall had promised her that he'd tell them she was on a mission.

"Just like old times, huh?" Dixon said smiling.

Sydney smiled back, she couldn't express the happiness she felt when she learned Dixon had joined the CIA. Besides the fact that he had saved her from getting her kneecaps broken, he was an amazing agent and an even better friend. She felt her heart drop a little when she thought of what he had to give up to save her. He seemed to be doing ok with being separated from Diane. HE said that she'd eventually understand and Sydney hoped that was true.

"What's wrong Bristow?" He asked.

"There's just a lot going on lately and I have a bad feeling about something. I don't know why. Must be nerves." She brushed it off and started going over the mission logs.
Oh, twist huh? Well, originally I was going to have D be his sister, but then I realized she didn't fit in the story so I decided to just make her a dream. Please, let me know what you think. Please. I'll be your friend. Hate it or love it, whatever. Any thoughts or opinions are fine with me.
