Chapter 10

Previously on Searching for themselves…

"Do you want to dance?"

"Yes." Sydney stood up slowly and grace fully, taking Vaughn's hand and letting him lead her onto the dance floor where other couples were already dancing. Before they could start dancing, the band stopped and began a new song. Vaughn laced his hand around her waist, pulling her close and they danced slowly with her head on his shoulder feeling completely safe. Suddenly Vaughn's body stopped and tensed. Sydney lifted her head off his shoulder questioningly. But Vaughn didn't explain, he was staring at the other side of the restaurant. She followed his stare and found herself staring at an older man sitting at the bar. An older man who looked a lot like Vaughn.

Sydney looked from the man to Vaughn who was now frozen in the middle of the dance floor.

"Vaughn?" Sydney asked seriously, but he didn't respond or even shift his gaze.

"Vaughn?!" He looked down at Sydney but didn't respond. "What's wrong?" Vaughn returned his gaze to the man across the room, Sydney followed his eyes and saw the man stand up and pay for his drink. As he put on his coat his brown eyes searched the room but never found Vaughn's. The man hurried out of the restaurant and Vaughn began to follow him when Sydney's arm caught his. "Vaughn what is going on?" He lead her off of the dance floor to get their coats from the coat check. As they waited for the elevator Sydney asked again, "Vaughn what is wrong, where are we going?"

"I think I recognize than man, I just have a feeling we should follow him."

"Where do you recognize him from?"

"From a long time ago, at the agency, before you were recruited." Sydney knew that there was something more, but didn't feel that she should say something, she could always tell when he was keeping something from her. "Considering he is a spy, he is a pretty bad liar," Sydney thought to herself, but actually it was just that he couldn't lie to her.

They rode down the elevator in silence. Vaughn stared ahead into space and Sydney cast worried looks at him from time to time. As they left the restaurant, they saw the man in a trench coat walking parallel to them across the seine. Vaughn wrapped his arm around her waist in an attempt to speed her walking. The man suddenly turned down a street and they lost sight of him. They ran across the bridge and soon found him again. He made many more turns and Sydney suddenly realized what he was doing.

"Vaughn, he knows we are tailing him, he is trying to loose us."

"We don't know that."

"Vaughn, either he knows we are tailing him or he was told to always try to loose a tail."

"How can you tell he is even trying to loose a tail?"

"Vaughn he is turning every two blocks and look, we are the same place we were five minutes ago." Vaughn didn't respond because suddenly the man walked into a church with a closed for cleaning sign on the door. Vaughn headed towards the door and again Sydney caught him, "Vaughn what are doing? You know we can't go in there." Sydney was confused at Vaughn's sudden lose of "spy skills."

"We can't just loose him!" Vaughn replied angrily, shocking Sydney with his tone. "I'm sorry, I just think he's our only lead on Weiss."

"Okay but we sure as shit aren't going through the front door!" Vaughn smiled, thanking her silently and she couldn't say no to that smile.

"God, not being able to turn down a gorgeous man is a serious weakness in this job, gotta work on that." Sydney scolded herself and made a mental note to become immune to his dirty blonde hair, his bright green eyes, and the smile that lit up his face. "Yeah right Sydney," she laughed to herself and then gained her focus and excitement that she got on every mission.

Guns drawn Sydney and Vaughn slipped into the church unnoticed. They found an abandoned church, clear plastic covered the pews and scaffoldings lined the walls. They were systematically scanning the church for movement when Sydney suddenly noticed a straight vertical crack in the wall. When she got closer she realized that is was a door, most likely leading somewhere important. She signaled for Vaughn to come, and together they looked for the trigger to open the door. Although other people would probably never find it, their minds had been trained to see details, to see things other people would over look and their extensive past experience gave them an idea of what to look for. Vaughn suddenly saw a piece of the stone floor which was separated ever so slightly from the rest of the floor. He pried it open and found an electronic keypad with a large black button in the center. With their guns drawn, they watched as the section of the stone wall swung backwards revealing a dark corridor.

After exchanging looks, Sydney and Vaughn proceeded down the metal corridor with caution. After about half a mile of tunnel, they came out into a storage room. A guard making rounds approached them and they ducked behind a storage crate just in time, as the guard passed, they eased through to the other side of the room where they found a door with the words Les bureaux Ont Limité l'Accès (Offices Restricted Access). Sydney and Vaughn translated the sign in their head and proceeded through the door. On the other side of the door they found a large open room which seemed like a conference room. There was a large table in the middle with 15 chairs around it. Behind the head of the table stood a blown up version of the prophecy about Sydney's mother, next to it however, there was another page with another picture which they didn't recognize. They approached the other page to get a better view when each felt a small needle stick into their backs. They recognized the dizziness which followed and understood that they had both been shot with tranquelizers. Both fell to the hard ground and just before the room went dark, the man from the restaurant stood over them and said quietly,

"Hello Michael."
