Chapter Nine...
Weiss and Francie smiled at this, Will looks a little shocked at first, but then smiles along with them. They both pull back at the same time and just gaze into each others eyes again for the millionth time tonight. Jack clears his throat, clearly angry he was undermined by this young Agent.
"It is late, we will continue this conversation in the morning," he starts to walk upstairs. "Oh...and Agent Vaughn...if I find that you have entered my daughter's bedroom...so help me..." but he left it at that and continued up the stairs. Vaughn looked a little scared by that, but Sydney just grabbed his hand and gave him a reassuring look. Vaughn then turned to Weiss, Francie, and Will.
"What are you guys doing here!? I thought you would be gone all night!?" he asked.
"We were planning on going clubbin for most of the night, and then to stay at a hotel for the rest, but Jack called Weiss and told him to rush back here right away, so we did. He didn't say why...we just figured he would have called you as well. I guess not considering the little position we found you in," Francie said laughing.
"Wait, you knew they were going to be gone all night? How?" Sydney asked Vaughn.
"On this note Eric and Francie wrote, which I didn't want you to read at the time...because...well, read," he said handing her the note. She read it quickly, smiled, then looked at Weiss and Francie with a thankful look.
"Well I'm beat...I think I'll head upstairs now for bed," Sydney said looking directly at Vaughn. He took the hint and followed suit.
"Yeah, I'm tired too, I'll see you guys tomorrow...that is if Jack doesn't murder me in my sleep," he said chuckling.
"I wouldn't let him," Sydney said heading up the stairs, Vaughn just watched her go upstairs, smiling.
Francie smiled at her friends last comment, but looked over at Vaughn curiously. Weiss asked the question she was about to though.
"Hey...uh...I don't think she could have given you a clearer signal there...why are you still here?" Weiss asked.
"You heard what Jack said...I don't want to be on his bad side..." he said unconvincingly. Weiss noticed this immediately, he was his best friend after all.
"Yeah right dude, I know you...you'll be going in there in a few minutes," Weiss said laughing. Vaughn had been looking down at the champagne bottle, but when Weiss said what he did, he looked up smiling. He then grabbed the champagne bottle and the two glasses that were unfinished, and proceeded upstairs.
When he finally reached her door, he just stood there. He had Jack's voice in the back of his mind telling him to not even think about it. He tried to fight it, but when he raised his hand to knock on her door, he dropped it back to his side and started to walk to his room, sadly. Just then Sydney opened her door and looked out into the hallway. She saw Vaughn's retreating form making his way towards his own room, with the champagne and glasses in his hands. She knew he had thought about coming in her room, but decided against it.
She waited until he went into his room, then went back into her own. She was secretly hoping he would come back, having changed his mind, but after five minutes of waiting, she realized he must have really stuck by his decision to follow Jack's orders. Well, she was not going to live by her fathers rules, especially when he wasn't always there when she was younger to give her orders. She was a big girl, old enough to make her own decisions. She opened her door quietly, and snuck into the hall, only to run into Francie and Weiss in the hallway, making out. They didn't seem to hear her, so she just cleared her throat to get their attention. They stopped what they were doing and saw her standing there. Weiss blushed instantly, but Francie just smiled at her friend.
"Well well well...what do we have here?" Sydney asked playfully.
"We were just...this was the first...hey...what were you doing coming out of your room? Ohhhh...could you have been heading towards someone else's room?" Weiss said laughing. Sydney just smiled at him, gave Francie a smile as well, and headed off in the direction of Vaughn's room. She didn't care that her friends were standing there watching her, she just wanted to be near him.
Weiss and Francie smiled at this, Will looks a little shocked at first, but then smiles along with them. They both pull back at the same time and just gaze into each others eyes again for the millionth time tonight. Jack clears his throat, clearly angry he was undermined by this young Agent.
