Chapter Eleven...
They made their way downstairs to the kitchen and saw Weiss, Francie, and Jack around the big round table eating pancakes. Francie and Weiss looked extremely happy, and even Jack had on a "smile", which in his case meant he was not looking completely serious for once.
"Good morning you two," Francie said smiling.
"Good morning Francie, Weiss...Dad," Sydney said getting a plate and filling it with pancakes. Vaughn followed her and got some for himself.
"Good morning Sydney...Vaughn...look...I want to apologize for last night," Jack started. When he said this Sydney had a reaction similar to Francie's, but this time she dropped the entire plate. Everyone jumped at this, but then Francie and Weiss started to laugh. Jack even looked amused.
"What did you say?" Sydney whispered.
"I said I'm sorry...I should have not blown up like that at you two...I had no right...especially with the news I received from the CIA back home," he finished smiling. Actually smiling.
"Wait, so is this why you came back early?" Weiss asked.
"Yes, they gave me very, very good news that I knew I had to share with all of you," he said, still smiling. "This news made me change my mind about you two."
"Jack?" Vaughn asked, still a little uncertain if he was telling the truth.
"Look Vaughn, you admitted to me before that you loved my daughter, which I did not really mind, because you are a good man and I trust her with you. Now, on the news...Kendall has informed me that the CIA was able to get into SD-6's mainframe and receive information on all the SD cells as well as some on the Alliance. However, Sloane became aware of this and tried to flee the country," Jack said but Sydney cut him off.
"No, we have to get him, where did he go?" she yelled.
"If you would let me finish, you would know that we caught up with him at airport security and he is now in CIA custody," Jack finished smiling.
"What!? Oh my g-d! We're free, we're finally free!" she said turning to Vaughn and hugging him. She then hugged her father, Francie, and Weiss too. Will chose that moment to stumble in. He obviously had a hangover and looked very confused to why everyone was hugging.
"What's going on? Who's getting married?" he said groggily.
"No one's getting married, at least not yet...Jack's good news, SD-6 is pretty much gone, and the Alliance is going down soon as well," Weiss answered laughing.
"Oh wow, that's great," Will said genuinely and getting himself some pancakes.
While Jack, Weiss, Francie, and Will all chatted around the table at breakfast, Vaughn pulled Sydney aside.
"Hey Syd...will you...will you go to dinner with me tonight?" he asked nervously.
"What! Vaughn you don't even need to ask! I love you...I would go anywhere with you," she said smiling.
"Really...you love me?" he asked.
"Of course, of course I love you Vaughn! I realized about the second night here that I was in love with you."
"Yeah, when you left...I knew it...I mean I kinda...sorda did before...but I wouldn't admit it to myself," he said laughing.
"I know! I figured what I was feeling was just lust, not love, but nope, definitely love," she said kissing him.
