Chapter 2

A/N: Here is chapter 2 Sorry it has taken me so long to write it I have had writer's block

Sydney was still in Jack's embrace to both of them it felt like they were holding on for dear life. Jack finally released Sydney and help her back to the bed.

"Dad I desperately need your help."

"Sweetheart you know that every resource I have and the CIA has will be at your disposal."

"Dad, it's just that I don't want anyone else involved beside Vaughn and you."

"Okay Sweetheart, we will do this which ever way is easier for you I promise. Sydney, why didn't you come to Vaughn or I sooner?"

"Because, Dad, when I found out, I just wanted to kill her and I thought I could handle this on my own. We all have too much history with her, especially Vaughn. I couldn't do that to either of you."

"Sweetheart, listen to me, Vaughn and I love you. It nearly killed us when you went missing. We spent all of our time searching for you. We never thought you were truly gone. And I promise you, your mother will pay for what she as done to all of us."

"I know Daddy, I know."

"Sydney, I need to go to start the search for your mother. I promise you the CIA will only know anything when we find her."

"Thank you, I love you dad."

"I love you, too, Sydney".

With that Jack kissed Sydney goodbye and went back out in to the living room to speak to Vaughn. Vaughn turned when he heard Jack leave the bedroom.

"How is she Jack?"

"Vaughn, to be honest I think she falling apart. I can't understand how she thought she could handle this on her own with out telling us."

"I know Jack, she thinks that she always needs a brave face in front of us when all I want to do is protect her."

"I know Vaughn, trust me I know. But all we can do is support her in until she is ready to let us in all the way."

"I know, I just wanted her to have some semblance of peace in her life".

"She will get peace Vaughn, if it's the last thing I do in my life for her. But I need to head back and see if with the information Sydney gave me I can get a fresh lead on Irina. Vaughn, I promise she will pay for everything she has done to all of us. "

"Jack, thanks for coming by."

"Michael, please just take care of her."

"I will don't worry, Jack."

With that Jack left and Vaughn headed back to the bedroom. When he entered he saw Sydney facing the wall but he knew she wasn't sleeping. He saw her shoulder heaving she was sobbing. Vaughn slowly walked over to the bed and eased his weight on the bed as gently as he could. Sydney felt Vaughn's weight dip the bed but she didn't move.

"Sydney?"

Sydney didn't say anything she just continued to stare at the wall. Vaughn felt helpless, he couldn't take away the pain she was going through at this moment. So he just gathered her in his arms and rocked her like a small child.

"Shh Sweetie everything will be ok I promise."

After holding her for a while longer Vaughn noticed she had finally stopped crying and was finally facing him; but he saw that there were still tears pooling in her eyes. But she didn't say anything; she just looked deeply into his intense green eyes. Without conveying any words between them Vaughn knew she needed reassurance that if she let him know all the details of her missing years that it would just stay between them and her father.

"Sydney, your father and I are just trying to help you. I promise what ever happened we will deal with it and your mother will be caught. You'll have our support 100% honey."

Meanwhile Jack had begun his search to bring in Irina, he really had no clue were but he was willing to go to any means necessary to track down Irina. But right now he felt as if he was hitting dead end after dead end he had already tried his old SD-6 and Alliance contacts. He was being to get frustrated in a last stitch effort he contacted Agent Brill.

"Brill"

"Brill, it's Jack Bristow I need any new information you have on Irina Derevko and The Covenant".

"Sorry Jack last I heard Irina was in London and that was two months ago Interpol and MI 5 have lost track of her. "

"Brill, this is terribly important it has to do with Sydney".

"Jack as soon as I know something you will know."

With that Jack hung up and sat down in his armchair in defeat . He will find her no matter what it takes.
