Chapter 4
Sydney and Vaughn reached the front of the mansion. Weiss spoke to them through their earpieces as Sydney adjusted her clothes.
"There wasn't anything else I could have worn?"
Vaughn didn't even glance at her as he responded, "You have to blend in."
They took a few more steps and heard loud volumes of music and a crowd of people. As Vaughn rang the doorbell they turned off their earpieces and went radio silent.
"Vaughn I need to tell you something."
"Now isn't the time."
"I know but there might now be another chance."
She stopped as the front door swung open and a small man in a black tuxedo greeted them in Russian.
They entered the house and blended themselves into the crowd. Dozens and dozens of woman in bikinis and lingerie.
"How are we supposed to find Denis Berezin in this crowd?"
Vaughn pointed to the other side of the entry hall, "I'm guessing that's him."
Denis was what you would expect, short, fat, and bald. But the fact that he was so incredibly rich explained the reason he was surrounded by beautiful woman.
"Remind me to thank Marshall when we get back for not making to attempt to seduce him."
Vaughn chuckled lightly as they made their way farther into the house. They entered a large room where most of the houseguests had flocked.
"Get ready," Vaughn whispered and Sydney pulled out the device Marshall had given her.
She set her small purse down on a table and applied the 'mascara' to the table. They both quickly slipped away from the table.
As the reached the far side of the room next to a door, which was being heavily guarded, they waited as the explosion occurred and the guards who had been near the door went running to the table.
All focus went to the area where the explosion happened while Vaughn and Sydney quickly entered through the door.
Once inside they faced a long hallway. Vaughn turned on his earpiece and asked Weiss about their security.
"I put their security cameras on loop. They don't see you."
Since the agency didn't know where exactly Sloane was being held they had to look around for themselves. So far there was nothing to explore because there were no doors.
"Vaughn, look there is something I need to tell you, and whether or not this is the best time, this is one of the only chances to be alone." She whispered as they walked down the hallway.
He turned off his comm. Channel again and stopped, "Syd you're my partner. The only things you and I ever need to be talking about are the missions."
"I know, and if this wasn't absolutely important. I wouldn't bother you."
"Fine. What?"
"Ok I know, or at least I think I know what I saw in the conference room after the meeting."
He sighed, "Syd, I'm sorry I thought you weren't looking."
"So.is she.?" She questioned even though she didn't want to know."
"Oh God no." He responded stunned, "We just.well she really wants a baby and."
"I get it. I get it."
"Is that all you wanted to know? Because we really need to get going."
Sydney looked around and shook her head, "Vaughn," she decided to be blunt, "she may not be pregnant. But I am."
Vaughn let out a slight gasp. He was beyond stunned.
She waited for him to respond but when he didn't she scoffed and continued on down the hall.
Finally he started to follow and he turned on his comm.
Suddenly Weiss was screaming over the earpiece, "GUYS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL YOUR DOING BUT SOMEHOW THE LOOP STOPPED! YOU HAVE 5 GUARDS COMING AT YOU FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS!
Sydney started to open the door as Vaughn screamed, "Syd nooooo!!"
Sydney and Vaughn reached the front of the mansion. Weiss spoke to them through their earpieces as Sydney adjusted her clothes.
