Capri awoke as a small boy jumped on her bed. She lloked at the clock before climbing out of bed. It was 7:35. She was going to be late for work. Capri took the boy, Ben, off the bed and carried him to the kitchen. She poured him a bowl of cereal and told him to eat before hurrying to the bathroom to get ready.
Capri went threw a routine. She took a shower, dressed, did her hair, did her makeup, and ate. She then dressed Ben and got together his bag. She pack snacks, water, and extra underwear in a small back pack and put it by the door.
All of a sudden, a scream came from Stacie's room. Stacie ran out of her room and into the bathroom yelling, "I'm late! I'm late!"
Capri laughed. "Sorry Stace! She you at work."
"Yeah. Whatever," replied Stacie.
Capri laughed again and grabbed Ben's bag while she ushered him to the car.

Sydney walked calmly into Kendall's office. "Yes sir?" she asked.
Kendall looked up at her briefly before looking back down at his papers. "You are receiving a partner today. Agent Stacie Bristow. There is no discussion."
Sydney reluctantly nodded and Kendall waved her away. She left the office briskly accidently knocking into Vaughn. "Sorry," she said detached and walked hurriedly away.
**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****
Vaughn entered Kendall's office to receive news that his partner would be Capri. He wasn't exactly thrilled but it was better than having to talk to Sydney. He loved her. He was sure. Yet, talking to her would only bring more conflict and wouldn't help anything.
As he walked back to his office, Vaughn's cell rang. He grabbed it in record time. "Vaughn."
"Hey honey. Are you doing okay without me?"
"I'm miserable, dear" It was the truth.
Alice laughed on the other end. "I'll be home on Thursday. How is Donavon?"
"Managing. We have to go over a few things when you get back."
"What's wrong?"
"Don't worry about it. It will be fine," Vaughn said as he reached his office. Weiss was standing inside. "I'll call you back, hon." With that, Vaughn hung up and fully entered his office. He shut the door gently and turned to Weiss. "What?"
"I found information that Sydney might have been held by a very good friend of Derevko's. Lorenzo Valdez. He lives in Italy. He lives in a very big house. Makes a lot of money with Sloane. He and Derevko haven't talked much in the past three years. Derevko's activies were more fixated in the far east. We believe that he was holding Sydney for Sloane not Derevko."
Vaughn raised an eyebrow. "We?"
"Will and I."
"Have you told Kendall?"
"No."
"Sydney?"
"No. I wanted to see what you thought."
"It's all we have right now. Let Kendall know."
"Okay. How was the game? I was on a date with Maria," Eric said smiling at the memory.
"I didn't watch it."
Weiss looked at Vaughn surprised. "You didn't watch it?"
"Nope."
"I think you need to see Barnett."
"I don't need to see Barnett."
"You missed a Kings game!" Eric argued
"So did you."
"My wife isn't in Bermuda."
Vaughn looked up to say something back, but Eric had gone.

Capri walked into headquarters quickly. She hurried to Kendall's office immediately. As she entered the office, Kendall spoke to her. "Your late."
"Yes. I know."
"Report to Agent Vaughn's office. He has been assigned as your new partner. You have to fill out your personnel file."
"Yes sir," Capri agreed.
Kendall nodded and pointed to the door. Capri complied with the silent order.
**** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** **** ****
Vaughn sat at his desk looking over some very boring information when Capri entered. "Hello Agent Vaughn. I was told that we were assigned together."
Vaughn looked up. "Mike."
"Mike."
"So Ms. Bristow-"
"Capri."
"Capri. We need to fill out your personnel file."
"I heard."
"Sit down," said Vaughn. Capri complied and Vaughn continued, "Okay. Name?"
"Capri Marie Bristow."
"Birthdate?"
"July 22, 1986"
"Birthplace?"
"Roma, Italy."
Vaughn hesitated before asking the next question. "Height?"
"5'7""
"Weight?"
"120 lbs"
"Characteristics?"
"Left handed. Right wrist is reverse jointed."
"Training?"
"Martial Arts, Surveillance, Driving Techniques, Track & Field, Linguistics, Pursuit & Evasion."
"Languages?"
"English, French, Spanish, Nepalese, Italian, All Indian Dialects, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, Vietnamese, and Lemmana."
Vaughn looked at Capri, clearly impressed. He looked back to his computer. "Recruited?"
"July 23, 2002."
"Personal Details?"
"Botana, Tommy (husband, decd.)"
Vaughn looked at her with sympathy. "I'm sorry."
Capri shrugged. "It's okay. It's been almost three years."
"Husband's name?"
"What?"
"You are wearing a wedding band."
"Tommy's. I'm still trying to get past his death."
Vaughn nodded feeling unnessary guilt for the man he didn't know. "I'm sorry to ask but how did it happen?"
"Long story. Basically, we were play fighting and Ben walked in. He told Andy that daddy had been hitting me and Andy had him shot. Right in front of Ben too. He doesn't know I know." By that time, Capri was in tears. "God. I don't know why or how I haven't killed him myself yet. Tommy was everything to me and Andy took that away from me."
Vaughn moved to Capri's side and wrapped an arm around her. "It's okay. It will be okay."
Capri sobbed into Vaughn's shirt. Vaughn just comforted her. "It's okay. It will be okay."
