Chapter 3
They had now found a way in which they could communicate, without Lauren listening in. Sydney was typing a message back to Vaughn, who was eagerly sitting on the other side of the room, waiting for her reply. Lauren had grown bored of her magazine, and had tossed it aside. She glared over at Sydney who looked like she was playing on her phone. She got up of the bed, and sat on the floor next to her husband. Vaughn was quite uncomfortable but he hid it well with a smile. Lauren was talking to him, in a hushed tone so that Sydney couldn't hear what she was saying. Not that Sydney was bothered; she had her own way of communicating with him. After finishing her message, she pressed send: Hey, I've been better. That was sweet what you did for me before, thank you. What about you-Are you ok? S-
Sydney put her phone back in her pocket, as she thought that it would be a while until he could reply, seen as Lauren was sitting right next to him. So she stood next to the window, again, watching the ordinary people as they got on with their lives. Vaughn felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, but he couldn't read the message with Lauren looking over his shoulder. For the past couple of minutes she had been talking to him, but it was going in one ear and out the other. He had absolutely no idea what she was talking about, all that he could think about was Sydney. He wanted to go over and talk freely to her, but that would definitely make his wife hit the roof. He made an excuse to Lauren that he needed a drink, and walked over to the table. Once he had his back to her, he took out his phone and read the message. Checking that Lauren was no where near him he replied to Syd's message: Don't worry about, she shouldn't have expected me to share a bed with her, knowing that you were in the room. Anyways, enough about her, let's talk about something different. What are you doing when we get out of here? Vaughn x
Sitting on the bed, Vaughn took out a magazine and hid his phone in it. At least this way Lauren wouldn't guess what him and Syd were up to. He didn't wait long for a reply: Francie and I are meant to be going to Las Vegas for a couple days next week, that's if I haven't got this virus. I suppose you and Lauren will be doing something when we get out? S-
I doubt that we will, I'll need a bit of space apart from her, we'll just have to wait and see. Are you not dating anybody? Vaughn
He knew that it was probably not safe to go down this road, but he wanted to know. Even though she was no longer his main priority, he still cared about her.
No, not right now. I'm just waiting for the right sort of guy. Besides you're a hard man to get over Agent Vaughn. S-
After reading this message, Vaughn just wanted to run up to her and tell her how he still was not over her. Instead he sat gazing at her, admiring how the sun was shining in on her, making the colour of her hair glisten. Sydney tore her eyes away from the window, and looked at Vaughn. Their eyes met, and for what seemed like ages, they sat staring into each other's eyes. It was the sound of Lauren clearing her throat, which tore them apart. "Have you got a problem, Agent Bristow?" Lauren's voice was as cold and distant, as it always was when she was talking to Sydney. "Nothing that concerns you." Sydney spoke in the same tone that Lauren had used, and she even included a glare. Vaughn looked away from them and went back to writing his next message. Lauren was still giving Sydney nasty looks, but Syd was trying her best to ignore her. They were gonna be stuck with each other for a couple of days, and she didn't wanna be fighting on the first day. I'm sorry Syd; Lauren can be a little bit possessive at times. Just try not to let her get to you. Vaughn
You don't have to apologise for her Vaughn, it's not your fault that she doesn't like me. Anyways, how long do you think we will be in her for? S-
Just as Vaughn received her next message, there was a tap on the window. All three of them looked up to see Weiss smiling back at them. He must have just finished work, as he was still dressed in his usual black suit. Sydney walked over to the window to talk to him, and Vaughn joined her.
