Chapter 1: Another day, another mission
"Dad, I'm leaving. I'll see ya next Monday." Syd said as she walked towards her father.
"Alright sweetheart, be safe." Jack replied pulling her into a tight hug. She smiled slightly and pulled away ready to finally have a break from her crazy life. A week, a week with no work, she has never had that much time off and boy she sure as hell was looking forward to it. She said her 'good- byes' and headed for the door.
'Finally,' she thought to herself, 'I'm outta here!'
"Sydney" a brash voice rang out, interrupting her thoughts. She turned to face the man that spoke. She knew who it was, but she turned slowly, preparing herself to see his face, to see the face of the man that she would have the pleasure of slitting his throat and watching him die a slow and painful death. "Yes," she finally broke out.
"Syd, I know you are no longer suppose to be here and I KNOW that you have the week off but . . . " he said the infamous word, the word that shatters everything from relationships to happy thoughts, even to one's long awaited vacation. ". . . I need you for only a couple more hours. Something came up and I plan on sending you and Dixon to Russia in a few hours. I really am sorry about you vacation, but you're the only agent that can pull this off successfully, and besides, you'll still have the rest of the week off if this goes as planned." He finished.
"What?" Syd asked, "Sloane, I understand that you may need my help and services but I finally have time off and I plan on actually being off, not working but OFF of WORK, meaning no more missions for 7 days!" she replied firmly.
All he had to do was look up at her and she immediately regretted what she said, "I'm sorry sir, I just really wanted to have so time to myself. How long will this last?" she asked.
"Sydney, follow me," Sloane said directing her towards his back office. "I have a file I want you to look at that will help you understand the importance of this mission."
Syd followed and sat in the first chair she saw. Sloane handed her the file and she immediately started flipping through the pages. 'Russian embassy. . . lethal weapons . . . chemical warfare . . . . control of the Alliance. . . '
'Wait,' she thought to herself, 'Control of the Alliance, the Alliance that SD-6 is apart of, that Alliance?' She finished looking through the file and when she had taken notice of what was every one of those pages, she left. She agreed to go on this mission, hoping this would be the one that would bring SD-6 down and finally put an end to her crazy, secretive lifestyle. She told Sloane she needed to pack for the mission and that she'd be back before the flight, but she had more important things to do before the flight to Russia.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"I'm tellin' ya Vaughn, if all the information in that folder was true, this guy in Russia that Sloane is making me go after is in charge of all the SD cells, including SD-6." Syd whispered. "If I can get this information for the CIA, I would finally be able to live a normal life, to be a Plain Jane, to be ordinary" He simply nodded, knowing that she wasn't finished yet.
"So Sloane plans on me and Dixon, well actually just me, to break into the head guys house and take the info from his laptop. I'm not to sure of the details of the mission but I do know that Sloane is making me do the actual mission alone, Dixon is only going to direct me from some van or something. So I was thinking . . well I thought you could meet me there and well. . . if there is anyway you could get in there . . .cause you know how well we work together on missions and if this could end SD-6 then I think you should be involved too and.. . and I mean you deserve to be involved considering you've worked so hard with me and it should be safe and all . . .Vaughn? "
Vaughn sat there listening to her in a daze. He was staring at her, taking notice of the way her nose crinkled every time she said Sloane and they way a smile was drawn to her face when she tells about what a victory for the CIA this mission could be. 'God, she's beautiful,' he let his thoughts stray him. 'Protocol Vaughn, Protocol! Screw protocol, I love her, have since the day she walked into my office, what can I say, red hair gets me!'
"Vaughn,. . . Vaughn . . . ." Syd said, waving a hand in front of his eyes, "Michael," his eyes shot up at her the instant she called his name, "wow, maybe I should call you Michael more often."
He chuckled to himself, thinking about how much he would like to her his name coming from her mouth, "What were you thinking about that got your thoughts so occupied?" she asked. 'You' he thought, but he smiles and said, "sorry, I'm just tired, and I was thinking 'bout how much I need a vacation." "Oh, okay" she replied.
"Yea," he said nervously rubbing his hand through his hair. 'God, I definitely pulled that out of my ass, but she bought it.'
"Okay, so are you gonna come for not?" Syd asked.
"Yea, I'll be there, I just need to talk to Kendall and Wiese about how I'm gonna go about it. When do you leave?" he asked
"Um," she looked at her watch, "in about 40 minutes."
"Okay, let me get a hold of them let them know what's goin on and I'll get back to ya 'bout what exactly we are gonna do. Okay?" she nodded, "I'll be back here in like 10 minutes."
~*~*~*~*~
Syd sat on the crate in the warehouse waiting for him. 'I want him to come with me!' Syd thought to herself. She never admitted to herself that she had feelings for Vaughn but she knows she does. Every time she has admitted her feelings for a man, he has always been killed or hurt and she doesn't want that to happen to Vaughn too, so its better to just keep all the feelings inside. Suddenly she looked up, she heard the sound that she grew to know, his footsteps, so light and quick. Then she saw him, his green eyes staring back at her, a smile drawn across his face.
"You better get goin'" he said to her. She didn't respond, she was still waiting to find out if he was going but she didn't want to ask, she didn't want to seem to anxious to know.
She couldn't take it anymore, "Well?" she asked, looked up at him like a lost child.
"I'll meet ya at the hotel, here's the address, I got the 3rd floor all secure so when you get there with Dixon just come up, I'll be waiting!" he said smiling and turned ready to head out the door, "Oh, Syd, I'll tell ya 'bout your counter-mission at the hotel." and he left, leaving her there at the warehouse.
