Chapter 8: Red Light

Sydney, passed out on the stretcher, was carried into the plane. Vaughn rushed over to Jack who was already on the plane.

"Where's Slone?" he asked.

"He is securely hand and ankle cuffed in the van, Dixon and another CIA guard are watching over him. How is Sydney? Has she woken up?"

"No…No….she….I couldn't wake her!" Vaughn cried. Jack squeezed his shoulder.

"Vaughn, Sydney's a strong woman. She'll pull through. Let the Doctor do her work, okay?" Vaughn nodded.

"I suggest you go and see her in case she wakes up. She'll want to see you." Vaughn nodded again, thanked Jack and made his way to the back of the plane. Sydney was now laying on a bed, an IV attached to one arm and heart monitor wires leading from her body. He fought back the soon to fall tears.

"How is she?" he asked, biting his quivering lip and fearing the worst. The female Doctor turned around.

"Agent Vaughn I presume?" Vaughn smiled and nodded. Just then Jack turned up to hear the news the Doctor was about to say

" Firstly I'm Doctor Meadowbrooke." She stopped a moment to think how to go on. "Well she's unconscious at the moment as you can see. Her temperature is very high which I am concerned about. Her pupils are reactive but sluggish. We'll have to check her neck and head when we get to the hospital to make sure she hasn't hurt those. I am also concerned about her blood pressure, that's pretty low at the moment. I have also found that her stomach, around the abdominal area is very ridged. Her low blood pressure could be due to the suspected internal bleeding. I don't know how serious her condition is at the moment until we get her to the hospital. There I will be able to perform a more internal exam on her. For now I'll try and make her as comfortable as possible."

Vaughn started to feel a little nauseous. Sydney, the one he was going to marry could be in a serious condition. He sat down on a chair and placed his head in his hands. Tears started to ooze from his eyes and soon his hands were wet. Jack could see how much Sydney meant to him and sat down next to him, giving him a shoulder to cry on. Vaughn suppressed his head in the crook of Jack's neck and cried softly, sniffing from time to time. When would Sydney wake up?, when could he hold her?, kiss her? and tell her everything was going to be okay and that it was all a dream, just a dream….a dream?
