The truth comes out.

"Sydney, are you sure?" my dad asked.

"Yes. Dad, I'm sure…wait a minute, Laurens new assignment was to seduce a CIA agent. Dad, she's using Vaughn for information…" I said.

"We need to inform Kendall and figure out a way to handle this. You are not to tell Vaughn about this…"

"Dad, he needs to know…" I started.

Sydney." Dad warned. "We need to handle this quickly and quietly. Vaughn cannot know." He said. A tone which I know to be don't argue with me.

"Fine…" I said. The anger rising in me. I turned and walked out the door and over to Vaughn and Michelle.

"Hey" Says Vaughn.

"Hey." I reply. Vaughn looks at me and I feel like he can see right through my soul.

"What's wrong?" he asks

"Nothings wrong." I say with a smile, but I know he doesn't believe me.

"Syd, you're lying to me." And so are you, I'm thinking. You're engaged, yet you haven't told me. "It's nothing that I can't handle. Can you look after her for a minute? I need to go and speak to Kendall." I say.

"Yeah, OK." He says. He can tell something's really wrong.

"I'll see you in a few minutes." I say. Vaughn smiles and looks down at Michelle, as I walk over to my father and Kendall.

"Sydney, Kendall knows everything. We believe that Vaughn should continue his relationship with M's Reed and find out what Intel was compromised." Said Jack.

"So, are we going to tell him?" I asked

"No, were not. We need you to plant a bug on him and even on Michelle, as he is her father, he will take her home with him, I'm sure…Kendall started.

"No, absolutely not. I will not use my daughter as a pawn in your twisted plans to get your damn Intel. I am going to tell him the truth." I said, my anger almost boiling over.

"Sydney, you will do no such thing. Anyhow, what if Vaughn doesn't believe you?" my dad asked

"He will believe me, he knows I would never lied to him about something like this…he trusts me. I am going to tell him and he can find out what was compromised." I said as I walked away.

"Your daughter is so stubborn." Said Kendall.

"As I told Irina, 'where she gets that is anyone's guess." With that Jack left as well.

Weiss looks on shocked, he stops Sydney before she can reach Vaughn. "Syd, we need to talk." He said as he guided me to a private corner.

"You were listening." I asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes, Lauren's Covenant…" he started.

"How long have they been together?" I asked needing to know how long it took for Vaughn to move on.

"Four months." He said.

"Four months." I repeat, unable to hide my shock.

"They got engages last week, Lauren actually asked him. She had been leaving hints about marriage for weeks now. Now I understand why. She was ordered to." He said.

"I have to tell him, but I don't know how." I said, but before Weiss could respond an agent walked u to us. "Agent Bristow, Weiss. Director Kendall has requested both of you."

"Thank you." I said as Weiss and I walked into Kendall's office and I saw my dad, Kendall and Vaughn holding Michelle. "What's going on?" I asked.

"Well, Agent Bristow, since you were dead set on telling Agent Vaughn, I thought it best you did so here." Said Kendall. Weiss and I sat down. "Agent Bristow, when you're ready." He said

I turned my head to Vaughn. "how do I say this…? Vaughn was looking at me, confused as to what was going on. "Vaughn, your fiancé…" I started. I stopped and looked at him. He looked shocked that I knew.

"How…how do you…?" he tried to say.

"I told her." My dad stated, but before Vaughn could respond "Vaughn…" I started. "Lauren is Covenant." I said.

"What?" he practically yells and Michelle's eyes widen at his sudden outburst, but calms down once Vaughn looks at her and gives her a smile and a kiss on the forehead. "Sorry, Princess." He then looks at me. "Sydney…what are you talking about?" he asked very confused.

"When I was working for the Covenant, I met her. Only briefly, as she was coming to the US for her next assignment…You." I said with tears streaming down my face as I watch the disbelief, hurt and anger cross his features. "Vaughn… I am so sorry."
