Chapter 3
Vaughn's POV
"Agent Vaughn, as director I have to suspend you from the CIA until further notice, you are now on desk work and if this information leaves this room you will be walked out of the rotunda as quickly as you can say my uncle is a monkey" Dixon said
I stared at Dixon for what seemed like 15 minutes, "Agent Vaughn, are you ok?"
I blinked three times and shook my head, was this guy serious, his uncle is a monkey.
"Agent Vaughn"
"Yes, hmm of course I understand, I mean..." I trailed off
"You mean what?"
"What am I going to tell Lauren?"
"Agent Vaughn you have been lying to Lauren since you met her, are you trying to tell me that you care what she thinks?"
"Dixon, just because Kendall ordered me to marry Lauren, it doesn't mean that I care what she thinks." I paused and looked at Dixon for a minute "Oh, right I get it, you want me to tell Lauren that I'm suspended, right I'm with you now"
"Vaughn are ok, did you hit your head?"
Only on the bed head when Sydney and I... I mentally slapped my head, do think about it.
"No, I'm just a bit tired" that was an understatement.
"Well in that case you should go home, get some sleep and see that your wife is doing ok in the hospital" Dixon said going back to the filing cabinets behind his desk
I turned to leave, "oh yeah one more thing" I said.
Dixon turned from what he was doing, "Yes"
"Sark was with Lauren at the hospital, and i also saw her in Paris as we were leaving the building"
"Thank you for that information Agent Vaughn, I'll keep it in mind"
I left the office and bumped right into Sydney.
Sydney's POV
He walked right into me, as if I wasn't even there, as if I was just air.
"Sydney" he said
"Vaughn" I said
"Look about last night..." he started
"Nothing happened, nothing ever happened, you're married and it was a mistake"
"But Syd..." he said trying to grab my arm, I pulled away.
"Just stay away from me please" I said starting to cry.
"Syd, please don't cry"
With that I turned and walked away leaving him standing there. I walked out to my car got in and cried, I cried like a baby. Once I composed myself I looked at myself in the mirror, red puffy eyes, blotchy skin no wonder no one loved you.
I turned on the car and drove out the car park, the silence was killing me so I turned on the radio.
When the war is over
Got to get away
Pack my bag to no place
In no time no day
You and I we used each other's shoulder
Still so young but somehow so much older
How can I go home and not get blown away?
You and I had our sights set on something
Hope this doesn't mean our days are numbered I got plans for more than a wanted man
All around this chaos and madness
Can't help feeling nothing more than sadness
Only choice to face it the best I can
When the war is over
Got to start again
Try to hold a trace of what is was back then
You and I we sent each other stories
Just a page I'm lost I all its glory
How can I go home and not get blown away?
Ain't nobody gonna steal this heart away
The tears started to flow again. I pulled over before I caused an accident, and turned off the radio.
"Get a grip Sydney; he's never going to be yours again no matter how hard you try"
I finally got home and sat on the couch with a big 1kilo tub of M&M's™ peanuts and watched some old black and white movie. I had eaten ¾ of the tub of M&M's™ when the phone rang.
"Go away" she muttered, the phone stopped ringing and she went back to her chocolate.
The movie had just finished and I was about to go to bed when the phone rang again, this time I answered it.
"Hello"
"Joey's Pizza"
"Go away, I'm not interested"
"Joey's Pizza"
"Wrong number and never call this house again, ok"
"Joey's Pizza"
I hung up and went to bed.
Vaughn's POV
I was pacing the office, I had to see Sydney now, it was important, I looked over at the junior agent I had yelled at to call Sydney, the first time no answer, second time.
The agent hung up. "Well?" I asked
"She hung up and never said to call her number again"
"Give me that phone" I grabbed the phone out the agent's hand and dialed her number; I sighed when she answered, "Sydney..." I began
"Just leave me alone don't you get it? JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"Sydney, please, just let me say one..." the line went dead. I hung up and re-dialed, the line was engaged. "Damn it!" I yelled
With that the young agent ran out the room.
"Sydney" I muttered to myself, "Why won't you just let me say it to you, I wish I could tell you everything"
A/N-So what do you think? Thank you so much for the reviews they are fantastic. Sorry it's taken a while to put the next chapter up, I've been busy with a school musical, and I know it's short but the feelings had to be put in somehow. The song that I used was When the War is Over it's a really good song, it was originally written by and Australian band called Cold Chisel, but since it has been covered by John Farnham and most recently by Cosima. Better chapters soon. PLEASE REVIEW!!
