Never Lose Hope

Thanks so much everybody for the nice reviews. Thank you Sarahbear. That was really sweet of you, and you don't know how much that meant to me, so thank you. I am so very honored. Sorry, I didn't mean to make you smack yourself. :blush: Anyway, here's more!! Enjoy :D




(CIA Headquarters)

Jack hurried into the CIA. He walked fast to his office, and opened the door. He found Weiss already sitting there. Weiss stood the moment Jack entered.

"Jack, what's this about?" He asked curious

"Sit down!" Jack demanded

Weiss did as he was told. He could tell that Jack was upset, and he didn't want to make it worse. Jack shut the door behind him, and walked behind the desk, but remained standing.

"I know how agent Vaughn feels about my daughter." He said bluntly.

Weiss looked at him shocked. "I'm sorry sir, but I have no idea what you are talking about." He tried to say in a convincing voice.

Jack just stared at him. "I already spoke with agent Vaughn agent Weiss. I know you know." He said

Weiss looked scared. He didn't want to know what the all mighty Jack Bristow was going to do to him.

"I'm gonna need your help." He said

Weiss looked relieved for a moment. "What do you need?" He asked

"It's not what I need, it's what you have to do." He said

Weiss looked at him scared again. "What?" He asked less confident this time.

"You know that when agent Vaughn went missing three years ago, Sydney's attitude changed." He paused when he saw Weiss nod. "Now that agent Vaughn is back, you can say that my daughter is back." He paused and rolled his eyes as he said it. "Anyway, my point is, that Arvin Sloane has noticed this sudden change, and suspects something wrong with Sydney. The kind of attention that we don't need when we are so close to destroying them." He said

Weiss looked confused. "What are you trying to get at, sir?" He asked

His lie just keep on growing. "In order for Sydney's new attitude to disapear, I need the reason to disapear." He said

Weiss knew what he meant, and instantly shook his head against it.

"If I think I know what you are trying to get at, it's a bad idea." He paused "If you even think about taking Vaughn away from Sydney, you will kill her." He pleaded

"I don't have a choice. If I don't take him away, then they will both be killed." He yelled at him.

Weiss didn't know what to say. "Mr. Bristow, there has to be another way. You can't take away the only person that Sydney loves, trusts, and depends on." He pleaded again.

Jack gave him a hard clod stare at his last statement. "I have no choice." He said again firm.

Weiss shook his head. "There has to be another way. Vaughn and Sydney are great at what they do. And with Vaughn back, SD-6 will be gone in no time." He said

Jack slammed his hands on his desk. "Agent Weiss, just accept it. I have, Kendall has, and even Vaughn has." He yelled. He took a breath, and calmed down. "Look, I don't want to do this either, but it's the only way to insure Vaughn and my daughter's safety." He lied

Lie after lie just came out of his mouth. Weiss sighed being defeated.

"What do you want me to do?" He asked

Jack smiled finally getting through to him. "As we speak, Vaughn is being taken to a safe house here in LA. Here's the address." He said giving him a piece of paper. Weiss took it, and looked back at him. "Kendall, myself, and only you are the ones who know about this location, and it will stay that way." He said

He nodded his head. "So then who will be Sydney's handler?" He asked

"You." Jack said

"Me?" He asked

"Yes, you. You are the next closes thing to Sydney after Vaughn. I assume that Sydney will need you after she hears the news." He said

Weiss looked at him confused. "Whoa, whoa, whoa. What news?" He asked

"The news about Vaughn." He said

Weiss still looked confused. "Wait, I thought you said that Vaughn was just going to a safe house?" He asked

Jack nodded. "Yes, but Sydney can't know that. Only you can. The only way that Sydney will accept the fact that Vaughn is gone is if he is really...." He didn't have to finish. Weiss did for him.

"Gone." Weiss said sadly "When are you going to tell her?" He asked

Jack looked away. "I'm not." He paused. Weiss looked at him. "You are." He added in.

Weiss pointed to himself. "Me?" He said. Jack nodded. "No way Jack! I can't tell Sydney that. I can't lie to her. I wont do it." He yelled

Jack let out a sigh. "Well, agent Weiss, you don't have a choice. I'm not asking you, I am telling you to do it." He said

"Jack, you can't accept me to tell Sydney that the man she loves is dead, and in reality I know he isn't. I can't watch it, I can't do it." He yelled back

"You listen to me." He yelled. "My daughter's life depends on this so you better do it. It's only for a little while. When SD-6 is no more, we can bring agent Vaughn back. Sydney survived three years without him, she can handle a little bit longer." He yelled

Weiss covered his face with his hands. He couldn't do this. Not to Sydney. She just got him back, and now he had to tell her she lost him again. He knew that she wouldn't be able to take it. He just couldn't do it. The thing was he had to. Jack watched him struggle.

"Weiss, I know you don't want to, but please it's for her safety." He said trying to ease his worries.

"If it's for her safety...." He started as he put his head down. "Then I'll do it." He said disapointed in himself.

Jack smiled. "Good." He paused. Weiss looked back up. "Here's what happened. A half an hour ago, I paged Vaughn to meet me. After fifteen minutes went by the time he was suppose to meet me, and didn't show I contacted Kendall." He paused Weiss nodded. "That's when Kendall gave me the news. When Vaughn was on his way to meet me, a truck driver ran a red light, and plowed right into Vaughn. His car flipped over, and shortly after it blew up into flames. Vaughn was inside." Jack said

Weiss didn't even want to hear it. He didn't know how he was suppose to tell it to her. "Sydney would want proof." He said

"I know." He responded. "I will have dental records. Everybody still thinks Vaughn is dead anyway, so it will be like he never came back." Jack finished

Weiss cringed at the words Jack spoke. "Help Sydney to understand, and make sure that she will be stable to continue on with working." He said

"Your asking to much." Weiss said

Jack dismissed his comment. "I have already paged Sydney, and she's on her way back to the CIA. I need you to go to the Warehouse. I will send Sydney there, and then you can tell her the news." Jack said

"That's not a lot of time Jack." He said

"We don't have time. Just get there, and get the job done. You better go before she sees you here." He said walking to the door.

'So now it was a job,' Weiss thought. He couldn't believe what he had to do. To Sydney, and to Vaughn. He got up, and made his way to the door.

"Thank you Weiss. I really appreciate you doing this." He said

Weiss stopped, and for the first time gave him a cold stare. "Don't thank me." He paused "If I wasn't ordered to do it, I would have walked out of here the moment you said it." He said then walking out of the door, and on his way to the warehouse.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sydney pulled into the CIA parking lot. She wanted to see Vaughn again so bad. She missed him. She couldn't believe he was back. He friend, her angel, her lover. She wouldn't ever be lonely again. Now he was back, SD-6 will fall even faster, and they could finally be together.

She walked into the hallway, and near he desk. Jack spotted her, and walked up to her.

"Sydney!" He called

She looked up and smiled. "Hi dad." She said

"How did the meeting go?" He asked

"I have another mission, but I think it's the big one dad. I think if I get it, it will lead to the take down. I just have to run it by Kendall later." She said

"Good." He responded

Before he could get another word out, Sydney cut him off.

"Have you seen Vaughn?" She asked

He shook his head. "No, but I heard Weiss needed to see you. Something about it being important. He said to meet him at the warehouse." He said

She looked confused, but just shrugged it off. "Oh, I will meet him later. I need to find Vaughn first." She said trying to walk away.

Jack grabbed her arm, putting her to a dead halt. Sydney looked at him, and then her arm. He put a serious face on, and in a concern voice responded.

"Sydney, you need to see Weiss. Go!" He said letting go of her arm, and walking away.

Sydney watched her father leave, and concern ran through her veins. She could feel something was wrong, and she knew it concerned Vaughn. She grabbed her keys, and her purse, and ran out of the CIA.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weiss waited in the warehouse. He paced back in forth. How could he be doing this. Sydney didn't deserve this no matter what. Jack and Kendall could find a different option, I'm sure it didn't have to get to this. He thought to himself.

'I can't do it, I wont.' He said

He was about to leave, until he heard Sydney's shoes click against the pavement. He had to do it now. It was his job.

He gulped as he came face to face with Sydney, and the concern look that she had.

It was now, or never. He picked:

NOW!

(The Warehouse)

Sydney ran up to Weiss. "Weiss, what's wrong? Where's Vaughn? Is he ok?" She asked panicked

Weiss just froze. He saw the terrified look on her face. The concern in her eyes. How could he do this to her? He was going to kill Jack for making him do this.

"Sy....Syd.." He started as his words fumbled out of his mouth.

Tears sprang from her eyes. "Weiss no......." She said. She knew what was coming.

He put his head down. "I'm sorry Sydney." He paused "Mike's dead." He said as she broke down in complete tears.

"NO......" She cried. Her yells rang throughout the whole warehouse.

Weiss tried to hold back his own tears after seeing Sydney the way he did.

"Mike was on his way to meet your father, when a truck driver ran a red light, and plowed into Vaughn's car. His car flipped over, and blew up into flames." He paused "Mike was inside Syd." He said

"No...." She said as she collapsed into Weiss's arms forcing him to fall to the ground. Weiss himself couldn't hold back the tears any longer. He wondered if the punishment he would indoor mattered to the hurt he just caused. He moved the hair out of her face, and rocked her back and forth.

"I'm so sorry Sydney, I'm so sorry." He whispered. He meant it on so many levels. If she only knew. She only answered with more cries that escaped her body.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After three hours of driving, the car finally stopped. A man came to Vaughn's side of the car, and opened the door. Vaughn got out, and looked at the safe house.

"This way agent Vaughn." The man instructed

Vaughn followed him inside. He showed him the house, and his room. Vaughn walked in his room, and shut the door. The house was nice, and pleasant, but no matter how lovely it looked his heart was dead inside. He wouldn't be happy until Sydney was in his arms again. His thoughts drifted to her. 'I wonder how she is?' He thought.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After fifteen minutes Weiss scooped Sydney in his arms, and placed her in his car. Weiss was scared for her. This time she didn't have the look of hope in her eyes. She only had the look of sadness, and no sign of life left.

Weiss pulled out of the warehouse, and started to drive back to the CIA. He pulled out his cell phone.

"Jack, its me.......I'm on my way back to the CIA, and with Sydney......I'll be there in a few moments." He said before hanging up.

He looked back over at Sydney, and saw that most of her tears had dried up.

"Sydney." He called

She titled her head away giving Weiss a sign that she didn't want to speak. She looked out the window, and Weiss saw as another tear slowly ran down her cheek, and on to her shirt.

Sydney couldn't take it any longer. Flashbacks of her and Vaughn just kept popping into her head.

Flashback

"I'm your ally." He said to her. The scene played in her mind.

A tear rolled down her cheek.

"You've got my number." He said to her. This scene played in her mind

Another tear left her eyes.

"No matter what time." He said again, and the scene played in her mind.

More tears left her eye.

"This watch belonged to my father." He said again, and that scene played in her mind.

The tears just fell like a water fall.

End Flashback

"NOOOOOO........" She screamed as she put her hands over her face.

Weiss stopped the car immediately. "What Sydney, what?" He asked reaching over to her.

She took his arm, and once again weeps onto him. Through her choked up voice, and the constant tears she spoke.

"Vau.....Vaug....Vaugh....Vaughn's.....go...gon..gone." She said.

Weiss placed a kiss on her temple, and tried to soothe her. "I'm here Sydney, I'm here." He said

~~~~~~~~~~~~

A couple of minutes later Sydney's cries finally stopped again. She looked back out the window, and Weiss had finally reached the CIA. He got out of his car, and helped Sydney along with him.

The made their way into the CIA. Sydney could care less of the stares and the whispers she heard. The only man that she ever truly loved was dead. Even Danny couldn't compare to how she felt about Vaughn. Danny could have never come close.

Weiss sat her in a chair, as he went in search for Jack. "I'll be right back Sydney, sit tight." He said

Like she had any place to go. She looked up from her lap, and noticed her desk. She looked across, and noticed a man taking Vaughn's belongings and packing them up. She got up instantly, and ran over to him.

"What are you doing?" She yelled "Leave his stuff alone!" She yelled She began to try and fight the man for Vaughn's belongings. Not sure on why she was doing it. A tiny bit of her still believed he would come back. He would always be there.

The man tried to defend himself, but was not match for Sydney Bristow. Just then Jack and Weiss came around the corner, and saw Sydney beating the poor man. Jack and Weiss ran up to her, and pulled her off of him.

"Sydney stop it." Jack yelled

"Let go of me!" She yelled holding a piece of Vaughn's valuables in her hand.

Jack continue to hold on to her. "Sydney, stop it now!" He yelled

Sydney finally gave up. She didn't have the strength. She once again collapsed to the floor holding on to the valuable. Jack looked over at Weiss.

"Sydney.." He started "I'm very sorry about agent Vaughn, but we have to worry about bringing down SD-6." He said

Se stopped her tears, and looked up at him. "So that's all Vaughn meant to you." She yelled "A shi*y I'm sorry, now we have to move on line." She rose from the ground. "He meant everything to me!" She yelled getting everybody's attention in the office. She didn't care. "Screw you, and screw SD-6. You can do it without me!" She yelled walking away.

Weiss got in his face. "Way to go Jack." He said before taking after Sydney.

Jack just watched as everybody in the room kept there eyes on him. He slowly started to walk away from the eyes that seem to watch him.
