Disclaimer: JJ owns the characters, I own the plot.

I am sorry but the torture has to end some day. I'm writing about a chapter every two days, but I will post more on the weekend, I think. Thank you for everyone that posted reviews. By the way when I say defibulators I mean the two little shocky thingys they use that sound weird.

The agents slowly filed into the warehouse. Five of them went to get Sydney and Vaughn while the other half went to find Sark. Walking up to their cell, the agent yelled through the door.

"Agent Bristow, Agent Vaughn move away from the door, were blasting you out of here."

The two badly beaten agents crawled to the corner of their cell just as a C- 4 exploded, killing the lock. Two people were helping Vaughn and two were helping Sydney while the other one went ahead of the pack to open up the heavy warehouse doors and lead the other four to the safety of the van where Weiss and Jack were. Then they had a response from the other team.

"Sark is gone, he must have slipped away before we got to him. He's gone."

"Damn it!" Jack said as he threw down his headset.

"We gotta get to the hospital Jack, they lost a lot of blood and Syd has a bad gash on her back that is severely infected."

"You heard him, move out!"

Later at the secure hospital base

Sydney and Vaughn were laying only about two feet away from each other in the same hospital room. Vaughn was awake prodding at some food with his spork and staring at Sydney while she slept. All of the sudden the heart rate monitor started speeding up and alarms started whaling. The doctors rushed into the room and Vaughn tried to get out of his bed to go to Sydney.

"Sir you have to stay in bed."

"Sydney. Sydney!"

"She's going into cardiac arrest get the defibulators in here pronto! We need to restart her heart!"

"Sydney!" Vaughn screamed in agony as he watched the line on the monitor go flat "Sydney!"

"One two three!" Sydney's body convulsed as the electric shock was sent through her body

"One two three!" With the second shock Sydney's heart started to work again. The doctors slowly filed out of the room.

One stray tear rolled down Vaughn's cheek as he stared at Sydney's body, still twitching from the shocks.

"Come on Syd, you gotta wake up

Three Days later

Vaughn watched intently as Sydney's eyes fluttered open.

"Vaughn..."

"Syd, you're awake."

"How long was I out?"

"Five days. Some of the bacteria on that gash penetrated one of your lungs and fluid started to seep in. But they cleared it up. You're okay now" He said as he reached his hand up, combing away a stray piece of hair. She smiled under his touch and leaned into his hand.

"Some of those days, I thought I was gonna lose you again."

"I'm here Vaughn, I'll never leave you." They both smiled this time, lacing their fingers together.

"Do you know how long it is until we get to go home?"

"I think I overheard them saying about a week for me but you'd have to stay a bit longer, maybe three weeks. I plan on some how getting them to let me stay those other two weeks."

"Thanks."

"Syd?"

"Yeah?"

"When we get back, do you wanna got to the rink and play some hockey, as friends."

"Sure, as friends."

"I'm keeping you to that."

"Don't worry, the day after we get back, your going to get your ass kicked at hockey."

"I'd like to see you try."

They both slowly dozed off, still holding each other's hand.
