Chapter 14
Oh god. Why do I have to go and see Barnett. Discuss my feelings about Lauren, Irina, Katya. Even If I don't want to. Damn CIA operational policy. Saying I have to have a psych evaluation, before I go back into the field. So my wife betrayed me, my fathers killer is back and her psycho sister tried to kill me. I can cope with that.
"Oh Michael. Take a seat" Barnett gestured to the chair opposite her. "So how are you doing?"
"I'm doing fine" he said while making his way to the chair.
"Vaughn. I'm not going to be fobbed off with that. I get enough stonewalling of Jack Bristow. Let alone get it from you. So lets discuss Lauren."
"What can I say. She betrayed me, the CIA. There's nothing more to be said about that."
"Look the only way to make this easy is if you talk about your problems. Lets discuss Irina."
"What about her?"
"Well, you still haven't completely got through you feelings about her. She murdered your father, but on the other side she's Sydney's mother. I know you are back together, but with this you've got to live with it if she wants to get involved with her mother again."
"Sydney's already told me that she wants to get to know her Mother." Vaughn admitted.
"So how does that make you feel?"
"I'd rather not discuss that"
Barnett was starting to get annoyed "Okay. How about Katya?"
"Okay. I'm not happy about that. She tried to kill me but at least I don't have to deal with her much longer. Now she's got her transfer."
"So you're telling me there's nothing wrong at all?"
"That's right"
"Look, please give me something because I'm not prepared to let you go back on field duty yet."
"Do you want me to admit something. Fine. I can't cope being betrayed by my wife. That my father's killer is back and my girlfriend has told me that under any circumstances that she wants to get to know her. Oh and that woman's sister tried to kill me. So no I'm fine." Vaughn let out a sigh of gladness. Of being able to let out his problems.
"See that feels better. Lets carry on."
