Chapter Three
“Good morning” Francie greeted Sydney over a cup of steaming coffee in their kitchen the next morning. “How did everything go yesterday?” She asked softly.
Sydney poured herself some coffee and sat next to her best friend and roommate at the table. She blew some of the steam from her cup. “I don’t really know. I feel so numb right now. The funeral is today at noon. That is all I remember from the meeting.”
“Did you find out anything. . . about . . .?” Francie knew that Sydney was waiting to find out all the details of the incident.
“No. But I know Weiss is holding something from me. I asked him just before the meeting about what happened and he gave the weirdest reaction to my questions. I am positive there is more to it than I have been told.”
“What have you been told so far?”
“All I know is that . . . he. . . was shot during a scuffle at one of our affiliate bank branches in Mexico. They think it was an attempted robbery. But, the funny thing is I tried to look up the bank information to see if I could find a report about the robbery and there was no information at all. No news reports, no police records.”
“It must just take time to file those kinds of things”. Francie replied.
“Yeah, maybe. I just have a funny feeling about all of it. I have to find out. I have to know what happened.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I am flying to Mexico tomorrow. “
“Wow. Do you think you are ready to do something so drastic right now? You are still in shock. Maybe you should take it easy for awhile.” Francie was worried about Syd. She had never seen her look so determined, almost obsessed.
“Don’t try to stop me Francie. Please. I need to do this. If I just sit around here I will go crazy. All I see when I am here is memories of him.”
Francie didn’t know what else to say. She could see Sydney had made up her mind and there was no changing it.
“I had better get ready for the funeral.”
Sydney went to her room and shut the door. She started to get dressed but was barely thinking about what she was doing. She was so absorbed in her plans for the next day that she almost walked out the door with one white shoe and one black shoe on. She corrected the problem and then stepped over to her mirror. She stood there for a moment. It hit her that she was going to go say good-bye to him. A final good-bye. The dress she was wearing was one of his favorites. It was a black suit dress she wore the first time she met him. Her first day at the bank. She was so nervous that day. She walked into the office and immediately felt lost. The place was huge. So many people around. Phones were ringing off the hook and there was the constant sound of typing. She looked for her office and couldn’t figure out where she was supposed to go. She walked past several cubicals when suddenly she bumped into him.
“Oh, excuse me” he said as he grabbed her arms so she wouldn’t fall.
“No, its my fault. . .” she started but as she caught those gorgeous green eyes. She became suddenly speechless.
“Are you ok?” he asked with a half smile.
She just stared at him. Then she caught herself and stammered “Yeah, I’m fine! Sorry! It’s my first day and I am totally lost.”
“Whats your name? Maybe I can help you find your way.”
“Sydney, Sydney Bristow”
He helped her find her office. It was just 3 doors down.
“Thank you, . . . um. . .Im sorry, what’s your name?”
“Micheal, but my friends call me Vaughn. Its my last name” he said with a little chuckle.
“Thank you Micheal.” Sydney said trying to stay in control of her voice. He was so cute when he smiled at her like that.
They stood in front of her office for a moment.
“Well, thanks! I guess I will have to get started. First day and all.”
“Ok, well, see you later!” He walked away and she stood there to watch him go. She knew that day that there was something about him. Something she had to know more about.
“Sydney?” Jack’s voice broke her daydream. “We need to go.”
“Ok, I’m coming.” She grabbed her umbrella and followed her dad out into the car.
They drove in silence for a few turns. Jack could sense there was something Sydney had on her mind other than the funeral. He got very nervous. Does she suspect something?
“I noticed a suitcase on your bed. Are you planning to get away for awhile?” He asked cautiously, looking at her in the rearview mirror.
“Yeah.” She didn’t know if she wanted to tell him what her plans were. She knew he wouldn’t like her going off by herself.
“Anywhere in particular?” He tried to sound nonchalant.
“Maybe.” She looked back at him in the mirror. She hoped he couldn’t read her thoughts.
He decided to drop the subject. She had a look in her eyes that unnerved him. He realized he would have to keep an eye on her in the near future. If she found out the truth it would mean danger for her and everyone involved.

He is alive isn't he? but he had to fake his death to protect her from something... I'm just guessing but I really hope he's alive.
Great chapter. Can't wait for more.
