Chapter 6

"What do you mean?" I said as Vaughn quickly changed lanes.

"Sloane's after us. We have to get to the nearest safehouse as soon as possible."

"Why?"

Vaughn turned the steering wheel hard and got off the freeway. "I have no idea! But I vowed to keep you safe, so that's what I'm doing."

We pulled up to a rundown looking shop. It looked like no one had occupied it in a while. Vaughn pulled out a set of keys and unlocked the door. We hurried to the back of the shop and headed towards the basement. There, Vaughn unlocked another door that led to our safehouse. He made sure to lock the doors behind him so no one could get in. There were 2 people already there.

Vaughn pulled out his gun. "Who are you?" He demanded.

"It's ok. We were sent here by Jack Bristow to help with your disguises." The woman said.

"Please, Agent Vaughn, come with me. Agent Bristow, stay here."

Vaughn gave Sydney a kiss and then followed the man into another room.

"Please have a seat." She said, motioning towards a seat.

I nodded and sat down. She took out box and emptied its contents. I caught on to what she was doing. She was cutting and dying my hair. I assumed that Vaughn was getting his hair done too. It took about two hours when we were finally done. I went to go find a bathroom and gasped when I saw my hair.

It was now light blonde with light brown lowlights. It was very short with many layers. I now had long side bangs as well. The woman handed me a pile of clothes.

"You might want to change into these."

I nodded remembering I was still in my wedding gown and Vaughn was still in his tuxedo. I took the clothes she handed me and went through them. There was a white v-neck tank top, a pair of khaki pants, a jean jacket, a pair of new tennis shoes, and a pair of dark brown sunglasses, and a khaki colored purse, which had some new make up in it. I put all the clothes on, shocked that they were all my size.

I found the mirror again and applied some make up.

"Ms. Bristow?"

I turned around to see the woman standing in the doorway. "Mr. Vaughn is ready and my partner and I need to go over a few things."

I nodded and followed her out to the main room where I saw Vaughn, who had dark brown hair with blonde highlights. He smiled at me. He had on a black short sleeve T-shirt and a pair of khaki pants like me.

"Ok. You are now Haley and Dave Williams." The man began. He gave Vaughn and I each an envelope. "In here are your new credit cards, passports, drivers licenses, birth certificates, etc. You are just newly weds, but you don't really have to play that part. You will not be able to be in contact with the CIA or anyone closely related to you. Is that understood?"

That meant I couldn't talk to Will or Francie or my father. Vaughn and I nodded.

"Here are your suitcases with all new clothes. You will need to get as far away from LA as possible. You will leave as soon as your new car gets here. Any questions?"

I shook my head.

"Good." They both got up and left Vaughn and I in the room.

I felt tears forming in my eyes. Vaughn scooted over next to me and pulled me to him. "Hey, shh. It's gonna be ok."

I buried my face into his shoulder and cried. "I'm never gonna see my friends again!"

"Yes you will. This will all be over before you know it."

The two agents came back in. "Your car is here. And Ms. Bristow?"

I looked up, drying my face.

"Your father is here to see you."

Vaughn and I followed the agents out of the safehouse. I saw my father standing by a new black Ford F-150. He turned around.

"Oh my gosh, Sydney, is that you?" He said, touching my hair.

"Unfortunately yes." I said sullenly.

"Don't worry babe. We're doing the best we can. This will be over soon." He opened his arms and I ran into them. I tried not to cry, but the tears just kept coming.

"I love you Dad."

"I love you too."

My father went over to Vaughn and shook his hand. "You'll take care of my baby girl right?"

"Yes sir."

"That's what I thought. I'll see you guys soon!"

Vaughn and I loaded our stuff into the back of the truck and we got in. I wanted to let Vaughn drive because I still wasn't ready for this. Before we got started on our new life, I ran out and gave my father one last hug and kiss.

"Be safe honey."

"I will Dad."

I got back in the car with Vaughn. He looked at me. I nodded. He put the car in drive and drove off, heading back towards the freeway. I watched as my father grew smaller and smaller as we drove away from him. I began putting my new credit cards, my passport and my driver's license in my new purse.

"So where do we want to go?" Vaughn asked me.

"Let's go up North." I said.

Vaughn pulled onto the freeway.

"It says here I majored in designing homes and you majored in"

I tried to hide my laughter. Vaughn noticed. "Hey! What did I major in?"

"Cooking!"

"Cooking?" He yelled. "Cooking? I don't know how to cook!"

"Well then, you'll have to learn!" I said, laughing.
