Chapter Twenty-One...
Sydney made it to the JTF in about fifteen minutes, there being no traffic, and it being midnight. She walked in, through the front door, a first for her. She walked towards Vaughn's office, but he wasn't there. She was there fifteen minutes early, so she went and sat at some desk in the center of the room. Her father was the next to show up, smiling briefly when he saw her.
"Where are Agents Vaughn and Weiss?" he asked her, sitting down next to her at the adjacent desk.
"Not here yet I guess...where's Kendall?"
"He's coming now, I went to inform him I was here," Jack replied as he got up to go get some coffee in the coffee room.
Just as he exited the rotunda, Vaughn and Weiss could be heard laughing as they walked into the JTF. When she saw him, her breath stopped. She wondered if it was possible for him to look that good. Rising, she slowly walked over to where he and Weiss were.
"Hey," he said smiling widely.
"Hi," she replied and moved towards him, but just as she did Kendall entered, and he moved away from her. She looked at him with disappointment, and a little anger. It was okay for them to be together now, except for maybe protocol, but she was hoping he would have forgotten about that by now.
"I suggest we go into the debriefing room," Kendall said shortly, not even giving them a smile or a "hello". That was just Kendall for you.
As they entered the room, Weiss sat down, and Vaughn went and sat next to him, leaving Sydney to sit next to her father. She was getting more disappointed and angrier than before. He was obviously ignoring her, ans she made glances at him, trying to get his attention. He would look at her briefly, but not smile back. Her father and Weiss noticed this, both perplexed as well. The meeting went on for about five hours. They filled out papers and recounted many times the events that happened in Italy, which was not much considering Vaughn left out the proposal to his fiancé.
When the meeting was finally over around eight in the morning, they all exited the debriefing room and entered the rotunda. There were many familiar faces there, with a few new, no doubt because of their absence. As they walked out into the room, applause broke out. Vaughn moved across the room towards his office but stood outside it and applauded as well, smiling. Many stood up even, and everyone but Sydney joined in. She blushed at this, but didn't want to take all the credit for SD-6 and the alliance's downfall.
"Speech! Speech!" was shouted among the crowd, but sounded very much like Weiss. She tried to say no, but she was forced.
"Well...what can I say? I guess I should be thanking people, because I did not do this alone. I would like to thank everyone here at the CIA, for without your counter missions and intelligence, we would never be here. I would also like to thank my friends, Francie and Will even though they aren't here. They kept me normal. Weiss, you kept me laughing when I needed it, and I can't repay you for that. Dixon and Marshall, even though they aren't here also, yet hopefully, they helped me stay sane at SD-6, and I couldn't have stayed there without them. My father, you protected me, and hopefully I can do the same for you. And last, but certainly not least...Agent Michael Vaughn. My handler, my friend, my guardian angel. Without him, I would NOT be here right now, without hi-" but she was interrupted by Vaughn who had crossed the room from where he was standing and pulled her to him, kissing her with more passion than ever before.
Everyone stared in awe, most not caring about stupid company protocol. They expected this. Kendall however was a little cross. Jack just looked on with happiness for his daughter. When they pulled back, they just stared into each other's eyes.
"I thought you were having second thoughts about...well...you know," Syd said smiling at him.
"No...I could never," he said breathlessly, but smiling back.
"Is that what I think it is on her finger?" Kendall asked angrily. Syd lifted her left hand to show him, and everyone still watching. "How long has this been going on?"
"Shouldn't have sent us to Italy together," Vaughn said still looking at Syd.
"I hope you know that you will not be able to be partners here, after what I have seen. I will not allow it," Kendall said as most went back to work.
"It will be far worse if you don't," Jack told Kendall knowingly, and watched as Agent Sydney Bristow and Agent Michael Vaughn walked out of the rotunda, holding hands, together.
The End.
