“Tell him.” Lennox commanded. The man gave him a foul look but turned to Vaughn, “my name is Will Tippin.”
“Will?” Vaughn’s eyes widened. “Will, I’m sorry we had to meat this way, I’m Va-Michael.”
“You say that as if you have herd of me.”
“Well I have. Sydney has told me a lot about you.”
“How do you know Sydney?” Will gave Vaughn a suspicious look.
“She’s my girl- I mean, my coworker.”
“Oh, so you work at the C- I man the bank too.”
“Oh cut it out!” spat Lennox. “We know that Michael Vaughn here is dating and planning on marring Sydney, we also know that Vaughn and Sydney work for the CIA, well at least, they did.” Vaughn and Will looked at each other “look, enough small talk.” Lennox signaled, Francie who reached he hand out and picked up a role of fresh duck tape. She pulled a long strip off the role and cut it with her teeth. She slapped it on Will’s mouth, making an effort to try and ketch some of his hair in the glue. Vaughn looked at Lennox.
“What happed to Francie?” he asked watching as she ruthlessly placed an other strip of tape over Will’s eyes.
“Well...” sneered Lennox.
“I think I’ll tell this one.” It was the first time Vaughn had herd Francie talk, her voice sounded a little deep for a woman, but he quickly forgot this, as she started to talk. “First of all…” But she was interrupted by Lennox.
“Maybe you shouldn’t tell him this.”
“It doesn’t matter, he won’t be alive long enough to tell anyone.” At this remark Vaughn’s eyes widened to their maximum and he leaned as far forward as he could. Francie continued her story. “First of all, I should tell you that I’m not Francie, not even close. My name is Nathaniel Grayham.”
“Nathaniel, isn’t that a guys name?” Vaughn teased.
“Why yes it is, I’m so glad you pick up on that, I was wondering how I was going to tell you that part.”
“You can’t be serious!”
“Oh yes I can, fascinating creatures, women, they are so much different then men, you have no idea.”
“I don’t want to know.”
“Oh but you will, but before I tell you your fate, let me fill you in a little bit more. I work for a little agency called K-Directorate. The Helix project was tested on two people, Enzo here, and yours truly. Amazing how we are now working together isn’t it?”
“Yeah, sure is funny how the world works.” Mumbled Vaughn “I don’t want to hear any more.”
“Oh, but I can’t stop now. You don’t know the half of it.” Suddenly, out side a door slammed shut.
“What the hell????” Lennox flung himself from the wall and walked over to the door. The sound of hurried footsteps and hushed voices filled the room shooing off the walls. Vaughn opened his mouth to speak but received an eye piercing look from Francie. Lennox turned around and looked at Francie. He mouthed something to his partner and Francie nodded She went over to Vaughn and quickly untied the ropes holding his arms and legs down to the chair. Vaughn was able to stand up. Francie handed him his gun and pushed him off his chair. Francie quickly rebound herself in the same fashion as she had done to Vaughn. Vaughn quickly lifted his gun and pointed it to Francie when the door flung open.
“Vaughn?” Jack screamed. That was when Vaughn realized what they had done. Lennox was looking at Vaughn with delight as if shooting Francie would release a giant treasure like a piñata. Will was still clueless with his eye sight gone and Francie was sitting in the chair, her dagger safely hidden on her ankle. A look of faked fear filled her face. It looked as if Vaughn and Lennox were in this together.
“You, you did this?” Jack stammered.
“No!” Vaughn lowered his gun.
“You shot my daughter??” said jack, refusing to hear what Vaughn was saying.
“No! No!” Vaughn pointed at Francie and then at Lennox. “It was them, they framed me!” Suddenly Weiss walked in.
“You found them… Michael? What are you doing?” he looked at his friend in disbelief.
“Weiss, this isn’t what it looks like.” Vaughn stammered not knowing what else to say.
“Take them away and free the victims.” Jack looked at Vaughn, “I never thought you would do this. I trusted you.” Weiss walked over to Vaughn.
“Sorry dude.” Weiss slapped his handcuffs over Vaughn’s wrists as an other agent did the same to Lennox wile jack freed Will and Francie. They were all carried off. The room was left silent. All except for the faint pleads and screams coming from a helpless Vaughn.
