Chapter 2

Usual disclaimers apply—thank you to anyone who reviewed, you rock!

Four hours later, Weiss managed to make his way down to medical services to check on Sydney.

Much the same as the four hours previous, Sydney and Vaughn sat motionless side by side. Weiss cleared his throat as he made his entrance, and Syd finally turned her head and acknowledged his presence.

"Weiss, what's goin' on?"

"They asked me to come down and get you, they want to start the debrief now, even without Vaughn. "Weiss responded.

"You know I'm not leaving him alone down here, Eric." Sydney stated indignantly.

"I know; that's why I'm here. Weiss' Daycare service to your rescue."

Sydney chuckled and responded, "Thanks, but no thanks. I need to be here. There are things he needs to know before anyone else. "

"If you say so, Syd. Hey, is it okay if your dad comes down? He's been looking for you everywhere. I managed to keep him busy in case you and Vaughn needed some alone time. You know what..."

But Weiss never got to finish his sentence before Sydney jumped up and nearly screamed at him to NEVER let her father near her or Vaughn again.

A baffled Weiss gave Sydney a strange look before questioning why she was suddenly so opposed to seeing her father.

"Because he betrayed me, Eric. That's all I can tell you until Vaughn wakes up. Just keep that man away from me, or I might just kill him." And Eric Weiss knew that Sydney wouldn't back down from a threat like that, whatever Jack did: he was in deep shit.

"Alright, I guess I'll find a way to keep him away from here a while longer, but I think the sooner Mike wakes up, the better it will be for all of us." Weiss said, as he made his way to the door.

Weiss just made it out of the door when Jack Bristow entered the room.
