Disclaimer: Everything belongs to J.J, Bad Robot, ABC… blablabla (you know). OK, OK, I don't own anything.

Summary: Fed up with summaries, if you don't remember, read the story once again. And for those who forgot, we just stopped when Sark, Sydney and Vaughn were in an elevator!!!!

A/N: Hi, I'm terribly sorry about the delay, but I swear I never planned to have such an accident. I feel a bit better, I can walk and drive now, and I was feeling so guilty to have you wait for me to update that I decided to post something, which is, yes, the first scene of the 14th chapter. I'll try to finish writing this chapter as soon as possible, but I'll only be on holiday on the 22nd of July, so please be patient, once again. Sorry again, please do forgive me it took me so long to update. Now just read. And don't forget to REVIEW! Thanks. Snd.

CHAPTER 14 – I SHALL BELIEVE

-   Previously  -

The elevator dinged and the door opened. Sark waved Sydney to go in first. She stepped in quite reluctantly. 'If only I was here with you, Vaughn!' she murmured to herself, sighing. She then stopped, her mouth open. She just couldn't believe her eyes. Was she dreaming? Had her dream come true? She just couldn't believe he was there in front of her, looking at her straight in the eye, with his oh-so familiar green piercing eyes, and a shy smile on his face. Sark went in, and she turned, so as he couldn't notice how upset she was.

It couldn't be true, but it was. Vaughn was in Las Vegas, and just a few inches from her and from Sark! Here before her was standing…Vaughn!

She just couldn't believe he had risked to blow his cover and hers by being there, something serious must have happened or was about to happen, she guessed. She then started to worry, maybe Vaughn had news about Dixon. She froze.

She shook her head, and opened her eyes as wide as possible. It still wasn't a mirage. He was there. She turned for a second to see his face, to read in his eyes.

Come to me now

And lay your hands over me

Even if it's a lie

Say it will be alright

And I shall believe

Vaughn just looked up shyly, and gave her a wink. Then he pressed the button. The elevator was still going up, and suddenly stopped. Vaughn stepped out, without looking back. Sydney watched him leave, till the door closed. The elevator started going up again and stopped to let them step in the lounge. The restaurant was on the left. Sark grabbed Sydney's arms, looked at her straight in the eye.

"Are you hungry?"

"It pains me to acknowledge that, but…I must say I'm pleased to be here, I'm starving" she replied, trying to smile.

Then they headed to the front entrance…

 Come to me now

And lay your hands over me

Even if it's a lie

Say it will be alright

And I shall believe

I'm broken in two

And I know you're on to me

That I only come home

When I'm so all alone

But I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly you won't give up on me

And I shall believe

And I shall believe

Open the door

And show me your face tonight

I know it's true

No one heals me like you

And you hold the key

Never again

Would I turn away from you

I'm so heavy tonight

But your love is alright

And I do believe

That not everything is gonna be the way

You think it ought to be

It seems like every time I try to make it right

It all comes down on me

Please say honestly

You won't give up on me

And I shall believe

I shall believe
