Author's Note:

Kate Finn-BH- I am so happy you're so interested in this story! Hope you like this chapter!

CLR03- thank you for reading the first chapter. Here's another one for you!

Georgia- I want to say thank you for your review. I'm not exactly the best writer, and after your review I realize you are right, I did over use some of my ideas. But hey I'm still learning to be a writer, and I may not be able to change some of my grammar errors, but I will try my best. I've never been good at grammar so this chapter might have even more errors. Hope that won't bother you too much!

Fair Cate- Thanks for saying the scene with Weiss is funny. I'm glad it was. I am trying to get the perfect Weiss in my story and try to capture him like he really is. I thought I didn't do a good job, but your review really lightens me up. Here's another chapter for you. Sorry though, but not as much Weiss. I promise you in the next chapter he will be more mentioned!

Thank you for all of your reviews. Because of you, I keep writing. I hope you like this chapter. This has a mission in it, and it may be very unrealistic. Please try not to be really annoyed by how my mission sucks! I never wrote a mission before and I don't know how anything goes. I hope it isn't too bad though. Thanks again and enjoy!

Chapter Two-

When I accepted Lauren's assignment to spy on Vaughn and Sydney, I didn't do it just because I never turn down a job. My reasons were more than that, mostly it was because I wanted to prove myself right about a theory I had came up with. See I believe love doesn't exist.

My father and mother had divorced when I could barely crawl. My mother had said it was because they grew apart, but I knew my father had taken a mistress. I remembered when I was about ten I had came across a picture of my parents, both of them happy and looked as if they were in love. Then I came across another picture with my father kissing a blond woman; the date on the back was about a month after my parent's picture was taken. I ended up ripping both pictures into pieces, knowing that my parent's picture was deceiving and was the first proof how love was a game.

My father had gotten married two years after the divorce, and that marriage ended up the same way, in another divorce. He then married four more times, each ending in the same pattern, divorce. He is now dating a supermodel, thirty years younger than he is. The old man was the one who made me hate the idea of love. If he can divorce and find another lover so easily, then that just proves how love can easily disappear.

My mother on the other hand, still loves my father (he was the one that wanted the divorce from my mother). She still believes in the whole love crap, and no matter how I try, she would not get it through her head that love was an illusion and my father was an ass.

That is why I agreed to spy on Sydney and Vaughn for they would be my final proof that love is all a load of crap. After all if both of them were deeply in love, why had he married after she gone missing? And if his love for his wife were strong, then she wouldn't have hired a spy now would she?

Honestly I do not believe in Sydney and Vaughn "relationship" or whatever it is. I think they just want a little fun, fool around the wife's back, and then forget all about it. My father did that with all his wives.

This assignment would be proof to everyone, once and for all, that love is nothing more than a joke. I would prove it, to the world and to my mother, who still hadn't gotten the fact that my father was a cheater and a bastard. Most of all I would prove it to myself that I am right.

Love is nothing but a game- a game waiting to crush you and crush you hard.

- Mission: To Require Information of The Controller-

Thirty minutes before landing, all four of us were in the back of the plane, going over our mission. I realized how little people were involved in such an important mission. Just Weiss, Vaughn, Sydney, and I.

Vaughn gave out the orders. " Weiss and I will be in a van, about a block away from the warehouse building where it is said to have Intel on where the antidote is. We already have access to the building's security and we will also act as backup. Syd-," Vaughn paused, cleared his throat, then said, " Agent Bristow will be accompany by Agent Brown. You two will then enter the warehouse through the back and there you must acquire some uniforms to go undercover. Most likely you'll have to take out some workers, to get the uniforms. After you do that, sneak into the main control room, located in the basement. There you will download all the information in the hard drive onto a disk."

Vaughn turned to Weiss who took out some small devices. One was a little suction shaped in a black circle no bigger than the palm of my hand. " This," he explained, " is a device that will hack into the computers and find the Intel you want." He held up another thing, which was a small tube that looked like a breath spray. " This baby is a spray that can knock out an entire room of people with just 3 sprays. It'll only last 10 minutes though. Remember 1 spray knocks out a few people so wear a mask before you use it." He held up two black breathing masks.

By the time the whole meeting was done, the plane was going to land. I was beginning to feel nauseated. This was my first major mission and I was starting to think of worst case scenarios. When I got up to leave, a hand touched my shoulder. I turned around and saw it was Sydney, giving me a reassuring smile.

" Don't worry," she said, " I got your back."

I smiled, and for some reason I felt a little better. But soon after, I felt a pang of guilt. She was treating me like a friend, and here I was secretly spying on her, ordered by a woman who must have cause her pain. Still I reminded myself that I had to do this, that I had to prove what I thought was right.

Vaughn and Weiss were behind us. Vaughn looked at Sydney, opened his mouth and was about to say something. But he caught himself and instead turned to me and gave me a small smile. " Good luck," he said to me, although I knew whom he really meant that to. I just smiled and thanked him.

Weiss gave me a thump's up and I couldn't help but think what a sweet guy he was. I was still a little nervous to dwell on him though.

An hour later Sydney and I were dressed in black, standing behind the warehouse. Our intercoms were in our ears, our masks hanging beside our hips. Sydney was leading the way and in less than a minute we were in the building.

" We're in," Sydney muttered into her intercom.

" Copy that Mountaineer," said Weiss. His voice crackled in both our intercoms. " Keep going."

" Any signs of security?" I asked.

" None so far," responded Vaughn. I did a little quick note that Vaughn seemed to be answering my responses and Weiss was doing the same to Sydney. Coincidence? - I'll be sure to think about that later.

Sydney and I kept going further into the building. Suddenly two workers dressed in yellow plastic suits with a little yellow hat were walking down a hallway ahead of us. Sydney looked at me and pointed. I nodded to tell her I understood.

I watched as she ran up, then I followed silently behind her. Then she took out her mask and I did the same. Once we both had it on, she took out the spray. Within 10 seconds, the two workers were out cold.

" Damn that's strong," I muttered mostly to myself.

Sydney took off her masks and smirk. " I'm sure Marshall will be glad to hear that."

We both crouched down and started to strip the suit off the workers. We hurriedly got into them and then set off once again.

" Left or right?" I asked.

" Take a left," Vaughn said into my earpiece.

We did what he said and took a left. It led to another hallway; each side lined up with steel doors. It looked like a maze to me.

Far down was an elevator on the left. Sydney and I ran down the hallway quickly pressing the button to open the door.

My intercom suddenly crackled. " On the left side of the elevator there's a peeled wallpaper. Peel it all off and there will be a little a little string with a hoop. Pull it and it will take you to the basement."

Sydney started to tear at the wallpaper and once the little string was revealed I hurried and pulled it. I impatiently waited while Sydney remained calm and collected. How does she do it? I think to myself, getting more and more amazed by her.

I turned my attention back to the mission once the elevator doors opened and saw it reveal a place full of boxes. There were even a couple of tractors with about 4 workers operating them.

" Keep your heads down and just look like your working." Vaughn said, " Try to hurry and get into the control room. It's located on the far right."

We did as we were told. Other workers were carrying boxes so we both took a box and started to head towards the right, I did a quick check and saw that there was only about ten or twelve workers here. Suddenly a man with brown shoes appeared into my sight and I slowly glanced up and saw a man with overalls and a clipboard.

" Where do you two think your going?" The man asked. " Those boxes need to go to the truck which is over there." He pointed to the back of us.

" Oh sorry, we." I said and out of the corner of my eye I watched as Sydney threw the box she was holding at the man. Then she kicked him down to the ground.

" Wear the mask," Sydney said breathlessly. Once on, she took out her spray and instantly the whole room was knocked out. Still wearing our masks, we immediately ran towards the main control room and luckily the door was opened.

" I'll access the computer and you search around here for anything that could be important to us," Sydney ordered.

I began opening the file cabinets; speeding through each paper picking out the few that looked important. I hear Sydney type something then heard her mutter, " Damn."

" What?" I asked still not bothering to look at her.

" The computer needs a member code and I have to hack through this before the device will do the rest."

" How about the workers Id? That could work couldn't it?" I asked while scanning.

" Worth a shot," she muttered. I put the file I was looking through down and went back out. I picked the guy with the overalls and found his ID card. I returned to the room and gave it to Sydney.

She typed it and then said; " It works. Ok setting off the device." Then after a minute she got up and started to look through some files too.

Click. The downloading was complete.

" You got everything?" She asked me as she placed the device into her pocket. I nodded and grabbed all the folders and papers. We set off in a run trying to hurry and reach the elevator before the ten minutes were up. But the problem was the lights suddenly turned off.

" What the hell?" I muttered.

" Not good," said Sydney. She then put her hand to her ear and cried, " What's going on?"

" It seems like there is someone turning off all the electricity," Weiss told us. " And another thing they're accessing another computer on the 5th floor. That's the only floor with electricity still running."

" What are they accessing?" I asked.

" Don't know," responded Vaughn. " Just get the hell out of there."

I looked around and saw that Sydney was looking for an escape.

" This place has no escapes. No windows, nothing. There's not even stairs," Sydney cried in frustration. She looked at an unconscious worker lying a couple feet from her. " We have to spray again to buy us another ten minutes." She took out the small tube and sprayed three more times.

" Guys! You gotta get out of there. Whoever is there with you guys, it looks like their coming down there too! And they have friends- BIG friends," Weiss said. " Wait- I'm making out their faces." Silence. " Damn! It's Sark!"

" Sark?" Sydney cried, " What the hell is he doing here?"

" Who cares," Vaughn said, " We'll find out what their doing later. Just get out of there! They know you're there." He's finally talking directly to Sydney, I thought to myself.

" What if he knows something?" Sydney asked, more like to herself. " What if I can get it out of him?"

" Syd-" Vaughn voice rose and now I could totally tell his urgency. " NO! Just get out of there! Now!"

" Oh crap," I hear Weiss muttered. " Turns out their not coming down, Sark and some other guys just left the building. Another group of guys is heading towards another room. They're filling the damn place with gas! Seriously, find an escape!"

Sydney and I looked around. There was no escape. I turned to her and said, " Let's split up. I'll take the left side, you take the right. We'll yell if we find an escape." Sydney nodded and set off towards the right.

I scanned at the left side of the room. All I saw were boxes. Damn, how the hell can we get out? I began to take down the boxes that were stacked up in a corner. I knew the chances of finding a hole to get out was very little, but I wanted to die at least trying something.

After about taking two boxes down, I uncovered a vent.

" Sydney!" I cried, " There's a vent." I pointed to the one I found. " Right there you see it?" Sydney was by my side now and she said, " We got to hurry."

Sydney climbed the stack of boxes, trying to be steady as the boxes swayed a little. Once she got to the top, she used all her might and thank god, got the vent door open and poked her head into it.

" We'll have to go in blindly since we don't have any lights. It might lead us nowhere, and there's the chance that we might not get out in time," she observed.

" Better dying while trying something," I muttered.

She poked her head out and gave me a grin. " We'll make it," she said in a voice that was more then just confidence talking. She said it like she already seen the future and knew we were going to make it.

Sydney pulled her whole entire self up into the vent and I heard some rustling. I began to climb the boxes too, and then once on top, I tucked the files into the band of my pants and pulled myself up. The vent was completely dark.

I heard Sydney begin to crawl and I began to follow. I could feel the vent bend a little because of our weight. I began to feel claustrophobic.

" How long until you guys are out?" Vaughn asked.

Sydney answered, " Couple of minutes."

" What about the guys that turned on the vent?" I asked.

" Those guys have already evacuated the warehouse. You only have about a minute before it takes up the whole building," Vaughn answered. " Hurry." I think he wanted to add, ' Hurry Sydney,' but knew he couldn't for whatever his reason was. Odd, how I can still make these observations when my life was hanging in the balance right now.

" I see light," Sydney suddenly said. She began to crawl even faster. A few more seconds of crawling and then we paused. I heard Sydney kick the other end and then.

We were out!

" Run!" Weiss suddenly cried. I was just getting out, and once I was completely standing on the ground, Sydney broke out into a run.

It was like track back in high school. The only difference was that in high school, there wasn't a building behind you that suddenly exploded. The warehouse behind us suddenly exploded into flames, causing Sydney and I to fly down onto the ground, both of us instantly covering our heads with our arms.

I could feel the heat on my back; it was intense, I could tell. I could hear and feel the hard beating of my heart. My mind just kept saying, 'You could have still been in there. If it was just another moment..' I sighed, feeling immense relief. I shook my head, flinging some sweat off.

" Are you all right?" Weiss asked us. Sydney and I didn't answer until we both stood up. I sighed again and muttered, " Yeah, we're fine."

Sydney and I turned and looked at each other. She was the one that broke out into a smile. Amazing how we could of almost died and she still could smile right after our near death experience.. Her smile was infectious because soon I too broke out into a smile.

Sydney looked back at the building, taking in the intense flames, watching as the warehouse turn into ashes. She then looked back at me, the small smile she had now fading just a little. Without saying a word we both turned around and began walking back to the van.
