Chapter 7: Danny
Sydney's face turned pale.
"D..D..D Danny?"
"Yes that's me. Hi Sydney!"
Suddenly the phone went dead. Sydney tried to get her head around what just happened. In shock she felt sick inside and ran to the bathroom, collapsing at the toilet. She took deep breathes as heaves began to rack her body. There was a noise behind her and Vaughn was standing in the doorway looking concerned.
"Syd you okay?" He dropped down next to her, pulling back her hair as she threw up again.
"I'm okay." She said shakily. She tried to stand but collapsed into Vaughn's safe embrace. Vaughn felt Sydney's forehead. She looked the colour of a white sheet.
"You don't feel hot." He said.
Sydney shook her head.
"No I don't."
Vaughn helped Sydney back to bed and got her a glass of water. She sat on the bed and drank it, her hands shaking a lot.
"What's wrong Syd?" He pulled her into a hug and rubbed her arms up and down, trying to stop her from shaking so much.
"I." Sydney began "I got a phone call from someone." Sydney's eyes were full of fear.
"It was Danny." Sydney said.
"Danny?" Vaughn asked.
"Yes. He called me but how, how did he call me he was dead. He called me and said Hi and oh my god. He called me."
"Syd calm down you're not making any sense."
"Of course not!" Sydney spat. "Danny, the guy Slone killed just phoned me up. How can I calm down!?"
Vaughn eyes were wide with the shock of Sydney shouting. Sydney looked at him saddened and started to sob.
"Oh god Vaughn I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have snapped at you."
"It's okay." Vaughn rubbed her back, quieting her down.
"Let's go back to sleep. It was probably the wrong number."
He clambered back into bed but Sydney didn't.
"Come on Syd." Vaughn said after a while. "The bed's getting cold."
Sydney shook her head.
"I have to go and see my Father."
"Come on Syd. Let's go back to sleep you can see your Father in the morning. He's probably sleeping."
"I have to see him Vaughn. What if Slone didn't kill Danny? What if he's still alive? What if he still loves me?"
"Syd he can't love you. You're with me. Alright? Stop worrying about it. Danny is dead. End of story."
"Then why did he phone me up? It was Danny's voice. It sounded like him so much."
"Syd you're are delving too much into this."
Sydney started to dress into some clothes.
"I'm going to see my Father."
Sydney drove to her Father's house that wasn't too far away. She parked the car and made it up the steps to his front door. She knocked three times before a tired Jack answered the door.
"Sydney I'm so glad you are here. I was just about to call you."
"Good. Can we speak?" Sydney asked.
Jack nodded.
"Come inside."
Jack lead Sydney over the sofa and they sat.
"Dad I just got a phone call from Danny." Sydney voice quivered as she said the words.
"Yes we have just had entail that Danny has been spotted. Kendall wants to see us now."
Sydney nodded.
"I can't get my head around this. I thought Slone killed Danny."
"Me too." Jack replied "Come on we better leave."
Sydney nodded and followed her Father out to the car.
As soon as they had arrived they went to the debriefing room to meet with Kendall and the rest of the gang.
"Good morning Agent Bristow." Kendall greeted.
Sydney took a seat next to her Father.
"As you all know we have just had entail that Danny has been spotted. We tracked him down and found he is working on a new Rambaldi project."
"What kind of Rambaldi project?" inquired Sydney.
"There is a new Rambaldi device hidden under the sea of LA. If it is activated there will be a humongous explosion and LA will be literally wiped out."
"Oh God!" Sydney cried.
"We also found out the only way to operate this device is with a key. This is a key from your Childhood, Agent Bristow. In case Danny gets his hands on it on first I want you to undergo hypno-regression therapy so we can find out where it is. Alright?"
Sydney nodded.
"What I don't understand is why Danny wasn't killed by Slone."
"We don't know either. We can't ask Slone because he is dead. I'm sure once we catch Danny all answers will be revealed."
"When do I undergo the hypno-regression?" Sydney asked.
"Go home get some sleep. At 9am I want you back here. Alright?"
Sydney nodded.
"Okay debriefing dismissed."
Sydney made it back to the house, tears in her eyes. She wished Danny had died because she was scared of what he might do. She didn't want LA to be blown up. Everyone would be killed. She'd never be able to see Vaughn and Madi ever again. She made it up the steps to the house and went inside. She undressed and got into bed.
"Hey." Vaughn said sleepily.
"Hey yourself." Sydney replied, sniffing back the tears.
"Are you okay?" Vaughn asked.
Sydney shook her head.
"I was right it was Danny on the phone. Kendall had entail that Danny has been spotted working on a new Rambaldi device. A device that will blow up LA."
Vaughn turned to face Sydney, now believing what she was saying.
"Oh God. What's going to happen?"
"They need me to undergo hypo-regression therapy in the morning. There is a key from my childhood that actives this device. They need me to find out where it is before Danny gets it." Sydney replied.
"Oh God. I promise to give my full support in this matter."
Sydney smiled and kissed Vaughn on the lips.
"Thanks."
Sydney snuggled down.
"Let's go to sleep."
"Okay. Night" Vaughn replied and put his arm around Sydney and snuggled up to her.
The next morning Sydney woke to find Madi sitting at the bottom of the stairs.
"Hey Sweetheart what's up?"
Madi looked at her Mother saddened.
"Emma can't pick me up today. She's sick."
"Is that so. Is someone else picking you up?"
"Yeah Francie is going to. I want Emma to pick me up. She said she's buy me ice-cream after school today."
"We'll Emma can't help if she's feeling ill. I'm sure she'll be better soon."
Madi nodded and rushed into the kitchen and brought a picture back.
"This is for you Mummy. I painted it myself."
Sydney looked at the picture. It was a picture of three people whom she presumed was herself Vaughn and Madi. She smiled.
"This is great Madi. Thanks so much. I'll stick it on the wall later."
Madi smiled.
Sydney made it into the kitchen where Vaughn was.
"Hey Honey." He greeted.
Sydney smiled.
"I've got to take Madi to school and get off to work. Good luck with today. I hope it goes well."
Sydney smiled.
"Thanks. Me too."
Sydney and Vaughn shared a passionate kiss before Vaughn left the house with Madi.
Sydney was sitting in the chair having wires stuck to her head. Dr Barnett sat to one side.
"Alright Agent Bristow I'm going to start counting down from three when I get to one I want you to open your eyes and tell me where you are. Three…Two…One…"
