Well I'm back with another chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter 4- The Woman

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Is she all right?"

"Yea. All though the bullet cut deep, it should heal with in 4-6 months."

"Can I go see her?"

"Yes."

"Thank you." Vaughn walks into the room.

"Michael?"

"Alice…I'm sorry."

"No. You did what you had to do. I'm just thankful it was only my shoulder and not my heart. Then again, you did break my heart."
"Alice, we both knew it was over."

"I know, but the pain still remains. All though I am married, it will never be like what I had with you." Sydney walks outside the door and she sees Vaughn holding her hand. Sydney tears up and walks away. She sits on the bench in the hallway. She sees Vaughn coming toward her.

"Syd, what's wrong?"

"Why are you doing this to me. I thought she was gone for good!"

"You mean Alice? Excuse me for caring about someone who is hurt."

"You mean your girlfriend. You'll visit your girlfriend more than me!"

"For gods sake Sydney, she's not my girlfriend anymore! The Covenant sent her after me to kill me, and I didn't know it was her so I shot her in the shoulder!"

"Oh…but…"

"You know. I don't need this! The next time you want to accuse me of something, get the facts straight!" Vaughn walks away and Syd sits and cries.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Sydney…"

"Will…you're all right."

"Sydney…be honest. Is Francie alive? I mean the real Francie."

"Yes. But-"

"That's all I want to know."

"How are you Will?"

"Better. How 'bout you?"

"OK. Well considering Vaughn just set me straight."

"How'd he do that?"

"Never mind."

"Syd…"

"No Will. I don't want to worry you."

"OK. But if you ever want to, I'm here."

"I know. Thank you." Syd holds onto Will's hand.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Here's your objective. You go to Los Angeles and find this man, Michael C. Vaughn. He is a CIA agent who I'm sure will be attracted to you. You must retrieve the fluid and the real page. If I know the CIA, they will give us something similar, like a defective page or something. Do you understand?" Sark is in the other room talking to The Covenants new agent. Francie could only here the part about Michael and Sydney. She was sure that was the man Syd was talking about one time. She had never met him, but he had sounded hot.

"Yes Mr. Sark."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry madam, but we only take check or cash. Credit is not aloud."

"Can't you just take it this once?"

"Miss. I already told you. We don't take credit. Now if you'll just leave I'm sure there are-" Vaughn walks to the counter.

"Come on man. Just take it this once."

"But…"

"Just do it!"

"OK."

"Thank you Mr…"

"Vaughn. Michael Vaughn."

"Michael, I'm," A bunch of carts block out the sound. She extends her hand.

"Pleasure to meet you."

"You too."

"All right, let's get out of here." They walk out of the bank together.

"So, what do you do for a living."

"Oh. I work for a bank down town."

"Same here. But it's one in walking distance from here."

"What a coincidence."

'So what are you doing tonight?"

"Nothing. Why? Do you wanna go out or something?"

"Maybe."

"Well I accept Michael."

"All right then. I'll pick you up at about 7:30 then?"

"Sure. Here's the address."

"See you then."

"You too."

-----------------------------------------------------------------

"Michael…I mean Agent Vaughn."

"Yes Marshall?"

"I have finished duplicating the page. And I have guaranteed that the fluid will work on it."

"Great." Michael walks off.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A horn honks. Michael waits for the woman to walk out.

-What is Michael doing-Sydney is in her car a few houses down from where Michael is. The woman walks out to Michael's car.

-What the hell-Sydney is furious with Michael as she sees the blonde woman talk to Michael.

"Hey Michael. You're early."

"Yea. I thought I'd beat the traffic."

"So what's it gonna be tonight?" The woman gets into the car.

"Oh I thought a movie of your choice and dinner. Or dinner and then a movie of your choice."

"Sounds lovely."

"You know Lauren, you look beautiful tonight.

"You too…" The woman goes over and kisses Michael on the cheek. They drive off. Sydney is now crying in her car.
