Chapter 2

By:Lili

You see Vaughn in the next room on the phone "ya Jack I've got her," he says. He looks over at the door, to look if anyone is listening. "She doesn't look so good."

"Mr. Vaughn she's been gone two years," Jack says.

Vaughn gets a strange look come over his face "you know I don't have to be told that. I have been blaming myself these last two years she was gone. I love her Jack even now."

"So why did you marry someone else?" Jack asks.

Vaughn's face turns into a scowl and he puts the phone down. He looks down at the floor and shakes his head. He goes over and sits down on a couch .He looks over at the door which he had slammed shut just fifteen minutes ago.

How did this all become such a mess if I had just gone into the house with her and backed her up. Then two years wouldn't have passed until I saw her again. I will always regret that. You see him shake his head again.
He checks his watch and then goes into the room "Syd," he says.

You see her in the bedroom she's sitting in a chair she has calmed down but you can see her face is still tear stained. "Yes Vaughn," she says.

Vaughn heard the strain in her voice" can I please come in?" he asks. She looks at the door and goes over to the bathroom. She turns the tap on and splashes her face with water.

Vaughn looks at the door. "Syd," he says. He contemplates opening the door and going in but then thinks against it. He goes back to the couch and sits down. "What a mess." His face is filled with pain tears are welling in his eyes. Then the door opens and Sydney comes out looking better than she did. He looks at her.

"Sorry I was in the bathroom," Sydney says. He nods his head and stares into those eyes that the first time he saw them he fell in love. How could everything have gone so wrong. He knows that answer they came together to take down SD-6 and when they did he thought they would be free. But that was not the case. Sloane was still about to destroy their lives.

"Vaughn," Sydney says. He looks up at the sound of her voice .She doesn't look angry at him but he can tell she doesn't want to be in his presence anymore. "Are we going?"

He nods his head and snaps out of his reverie "yes." She nods her head and heads out the door. A car is waiting for them she got in and so did he. They drove to an airstrip the CIA's plane is there. They get onboard she goes to the back of the plane and sits by the window.

He sits on the other side of the aisle you see someone coming through the plane but you don't see who it is. The person comes into the light. It's Weiss he gasps when he sees Sydney. "When they told me they'd found you I thought they were joking," he says.

"Weiss," Sydney says. She smiles at him and stands up and hugs him "it's good to see you."

He smiles and hugs her back "it's good to see you too Syd."

She pulls back and smiles she sits back down and he sits down beside her.

You see Vaughn look at the two of them, and he glares at Eric when he stares his way. Eric shrugs helplessly.

Eric brings his attention back to Sydney "so how have you been?" he asks.

Sydney tenses and looks out the window you see a single tear slide down her cheek "I can't remember anything of the last two years but I guess I'm all right."

Eric looks at her and then stands up "I'll be right back," he says. He points at Vaughn and then at the back of the plane. He goes to the back and a few seconds later Vaughn follows. Eric turns around when he comes in. "How could you be so insensitive?"

Vaughn glares back "what the hell is that suppose to mean."

Eric grabs his hand and points to the wedding ring on Vaughn's finger
"this," he says. Vaughn pulls back his hand "to her it was yesterday that you two last saw each other not two years."

Vaughn looks away from Eric and walks further back into the plane Eric followed him. "You know I was going to ask her to marry me on that trip to Santa Barbara," he says.

Eric looks at him in surprise and shook his head he looks out the window of the plane they haven't yet taken off. "She's hurting." Vaughn looks down "oh don't take all the blame it's not just because of you."

Vaughn gives him an annoyed look ."Thanks Eric," he says. "I know she's hurting and I just want to take her in my arms and say everything will be all right that those last two years haven't gone by."

Eric nods and he looks out to Syd who is staring out the window "I know you wish you could."

You see them the next morning arrive in LA they have a car waiting for them
"I guess we have to take you to the Joint Task Facility," Vaughn says.

Sydney nods her head, and she gets in the car, Vaughn gets in the driver's side and Eric in the back. They head out of the airport when they reach the JTF they go inside. Once inside Sydney comes in when everyone sees her they all stand up and start clapping. Marshall comes up to hug her. "It's good to see your alive Sydney."

Sydney smiles at Marshall "thank you Marshall."

Then Dixon comes over and smiles at her and gave her a big hug "welcome back," he says. She smiles at him and then she sees her dad talking to Kendall, and she walks up to them.

They are arguing as usual and neither have noticed her presence. "I should have been sent not Agent Vaughn," Jack says.

Kendall glares "Vaughn knows what he's doing you've been an emotional wreck since you know what happened."

Sydney clears her throat and both men look at her and Jack gets one of those rare smiles across his face. "Sydney," he says.

"Dad." She throws her arms around his neck and hugs tightly. He pulls back and looks at her face. She smiles" are you okay?"

Jack looks at her "I should be asking you that question but yes I'm fine, "he says. He takes her hand and leads her over to a chair and makes her sit down. "Do you need anything food, drink?"

She smiles at him and shakes her head "no I don't need anything but I want to know what happened to me these last two years."

Jack nods "we'll find out in time I promise I'm sure you'll want to get home and get changed and see Will."

She nods her head. "Yes I would."

Jack smiles "all right I'll take you."
