Chapter 2:
Vaughn walked slowly into the dimly lit room the next morning to see Sydney. When he saw her he almost stopped breathing, he was that shocked. She was lying there with what seemed like a million tubes coming out of her and monitors surrounded the head of the bed. She was attached to a ventilator to aid in her breathing. He sat down next to her and picked up her limp pale hand and kissed it gently. He sat there listening to the steady beep of the heart monitor as he watched her chest slowly rise and fall. About 10 minutes after he arrived Jack Bristow walked into the room with a small chubby man in tow, who was carrying a clipboard. Vaughn greeted both men then returned his gaze to Sydney. "When will she wake up Doctor?" Jack asked.
"We expected her to wake up earlier this morning but since she hasn't we can't be sure when she will." He replied.
"She is going to recover fully, isn't she?" Vaughn questioned the worry evident in his voice.
"Yes, we expect her to make a full recovery, it'll just take time. But now we need to run some more tests to make sure there aren't any more injuries that we didn't find last night. If you'll excuse me I'll arrange to have her taken for the tests shortly." He replied and with that he left the room.
"He didn't sound to convincing" Vaughn said before turning to Sydney "Come on babe you have to wake up. I Love You."
A small smile crept onto Jack's face. "Agent Vaughn, Kendall asked me to get you to come in this morning he wants to know what happened. I suggest you don't keep him waiting."
"Ok" he replied "I'll go now while they run tests. Can you call me if there's any change."
"Of course."
An hour later Vaughn walked into the Ops Centre where he was greeted by Weiss. "Hey man, how is she?" he asked.
"They say that she'll be fine but she's still unconscious and they wanna run some more tests."
"Agent Vaughn, good to see you here" a voice bellowed from across the room. Vaughn turned around and saw that it was Kendall.
"Jack said you wanted to speak with me."
"Ah, yes of course. Do you want to come into my office?"
"Sure I'll be there in a minute."
Vaughn turned back towards Weiss who was shuffling through a large stack of papers on his desk. "Eric, do you reckon you could go and see Syd, I mean I think she'd appreciate it."
"Yeah sure, I'll go and see her later."
"Thanks. I spose I'd better go and see Kendall." Vaughn turned and walked off in the direction of Kendall's office. As he entered Kendall offered him a seat.
"Agent Vaughn, can you tell me what happened on the operation in London."
"What do you mean sir?"
"What lead to Agent Bristow being shot?"
"She went into the house as the Guards changed shifts. She was waiting to deal with the guard before she went into the house. He got her from behind. There was a fight and I heard two gunshots. The guard shot Agent Bristow in the abdomen and she shot him in the head. As soon as I heard the gunshots I went into the yard and saw the guard lying dead and Agent Bristow was lying next to him, unconscious, bleeding from her abdomen."
"Are you sure that there wasn't more than one guard there?"
"Are you implying that Derevko put Sydney's life at risk by providing us with false Intel?"
"We have to assume that Agent Vaughn because since you didn't see what happened that only person that can tell us is Agent Bristow and I am planning to speak with her later today."
"She's still unconscious."
"Very well I will speak with her when she wakes up."
"If you don't mind sir, I would like to go back to the hospital to be with her."
"Alright Agent Vaughn. I'll call you if I need to speak with your again."
Vaughn quickly got up and walked out the door. He rushed back to the hospital so he could be there when Sydney woke up.
He'd just arrived when the Doctor came in with the test results. "I'm sorry…"
