And here's the chapter…
Chapter 9Weiss was there in a matter of minutes. Sydney was still in the Nursery, clutching one of Amanda's blankets tightly. Without bothering to knock, Eric burst into the apartment and came charging up the hall, bumping into Vaughn, who was searching the house for clues. "When?" Weiss asked quickly.
"Sometime this morning. Syd went out, I was still asleep. I woke up and she was gone," he paused, choking back a tear, "I thought Syd had taken her." Weiss nodded, quickly filing all the details in his mind.
"Have you called Kendall?"
"Not yet. I'll do that now."
"Where's Syd?" Vaughn motioned to the Nursery. Eric headed up the hall and through the door into the little room that he'd helped to decorate late in Sydney's pregnancy, while she lay on the couch, watching TV, at Vaughn's insistence.
As he walked into the room, he noticed Sydney sitting on the rocking chair, the small blanket still held tightly to her chest. Fat tears were rolling down her cheeks, dropping onto her knees, soaking the fabric of her pants. Weiss cleared his throat and she looked up, "Where's Vaughn?" she croaked. He was going to make some snide comment about him being nothing more to her than 'a conduit to Vaughn' but decided against it, given what had occurred earlier that day. "He went to call Kendall. He'll be back soon." Sydney muttered something that he was unable to catch, "What was that Syd?"
"Why? Why would they do this? She's innocent."
"We'll find her Syd. I promise, even if it's the last thing
I do. I'll bring her home." Sydney nodded through her tears and when Vaughn
came into the room, he went over to his fiancé and she burrowed her head into
his chest. "What did he say?" Weiss questioned his best friend.
"He's sending someone over now. He wants us to go into Ops." He rubbed Syd's
back as she continued to sob into his chest. "I'll wait for them here if you
want," Weiss offered.
"Thanks Weiss. Syd, baby, we have to go into work, come on." He tugged her until she stood upright. As they walked out the door Weiss watched Sydney lean into Vaughn, as if she needed him to stay upright. Following them out of the room, he sat on a stool near the kitchen, watching as they left the small apartment that they called home.
Sydney and Vaughn arrived at Ops half an hour later. Vaughn pulled into a parking space and climbed out of the car. He went round to Sydney's side and opened the door, speaking to her softly, "Syd, come on," he said, tugging on her sleeve again. She continued to stare into space, as she had done the entire journey, and Vaughn shook her, attempting to break her out of this semi-comatose state she seemed to be in. "Sydney!" he said sharply, she turned to look at him, her eyes glistening. "We're here," he said, this time softer. She nodded and climbed out of the car, once again leaning into his side as they headed towards the elevator.
They walked into the Bullpen a few minutes later, where Kendall immediately approached them. "Agent Vaughn, Agent Bristow, thank you for coming in." Vaughn nodded politely and waited for him to continue, Sydney remained silent. "If you'll come this way," he motioned towards a conference room, "We'll talk." Sydney and Vaughn followed him, and the door was promptly closed, closing them off from the rest of the Ops Centre.
Several agents milled around outside the door, hoping to catch a bit of the conversation, which was going on behind the thick wood. Donald Baxter came into the Bullpen, whistling happily to himself and noticing a bunch of people clustered around the door, he approached one of them, "What's happening?" he asked Agent Damian McIntosh, who had accompanied Irina to the hospital after Sydney miscarried her first child. "Amanda Vaughn was kidnapped this morning." He raised his eyebrows in surprise,
"Really?" he said, a hint of victory in his voice, "It's God's will, that child was doomed to spend eternity burning in hell, along with her parents. Terrible sinners, well what goes around comes around," he concluded as many people looked towards him. He was known throughout the Ops Centre as being deeply religious, and often liked to voice his opinions, especially those about Sydney, Vaughn and their 'Devil Child.' He hadn't taken to kindly to Sydney's threat earlier that week, but he figured that she was nowhere in sight at the moment, he was free to voice his opinions without having to deal with The Wrath of Sydney Bristow. Footsteps were heard approaching the door so people quickly scattered, most going back to their desks, pretending to be doing their work, while others scrambled for the Break Room, so they could gossip a little more.
Sydney exited the room, leaving Vaughn and Kendall behind so Vaughn could be de-briefed on his latest mission. Syd went over to her desk, dropping her body onto her chair, careful not to let it slide away from the desk. Switching on her computer, she waited patiently for it to load while she rubbed her aching forehead, trying to numb the blinding pain of her newly formed migraine. Growing tired of waiting for her computer to load, she picked up her phone and began the enormous task of calling all of her contacts, hoping to find any information on the whereabouts of her young, defenceless daughter.
A/N: Ok, Bad Me. I wanted to make that longer, but that seemed like a good place to end it. I'll try to have another chapter up before Christmas, but I can't guarantee anything. I'm working this weekend, and I'm gonna try and work a couple of days during the week at my second job. Thanks for reading. Tell me what you thought, your opinions mean so much to me. Merry Early Christmas (you know in case I don't update), and until next time… :lol: Alyce :D
