When I found you

is vaughn in the witness protection program? when roberta said he might get out of this, it seemed like that's what she meant. i hope he is! good story :D
 
He waited.
The seconds ticked by.
The seconds ticked by as slowly as grass grows,
and he waited.
Staring at the clock, waiting for three.
At 3'o’clock he could call Weiss.
To anyone else this would seem like an odd time to call and catch up with a friend you haven't seen or heard from in two years, but to Michael it was perfect.
The butterflies in his stomach started doing the tango when the clocks numbers changed to 2:59.
One more minute! One more minute and then he could call Weiss.
Tick Tock Tick Tock.
He couldn't help but inwardly laugh at himself.
He missed his friends. He missed anything from his old life. His job, his house, his dog, his family, his friends, ... but most of all, he missed Sydney.
"Yes." he sighed as the numbers changed, picking up the phone and dialing the number he had memorized by now.
He waited. It rang. It rang three times and then, it stopped. Someone picked up.
An unfamiliar voice said, "Hello?"
"Yes, um hi. I was wondering if you sold yo-yo-yo-yos." he said, rolling his eyes at Weiss's stupid code phrases.
"One moment please." the woman said, putting him on hold.
"Yo-yos." Vaughn muttered, chuckling under his breath.
"Weiss." came the familiar voice of his best friend over the phone.
"Hey." Michael said, sitting down on the edge of his bed.
"Michael, oh my god! Hi." he said in his friendly, warm voice.
"Hey. What's going on?"
"Oh my god!" he said, sounding somewhere between happy and totally stressed.
"Weiss?" Michael said, the worry in him surfacing.
"Mike, you sitting down?"
"Yeah... It's bad isn't it?"
"Depends on your idea of bad. Personally, I think you'll find it mind blowing."
"Weiss, what's going on?"
"I think you should come back to L.A."
"What. You know I can't do that."
"No seriously."
"What are you talking about?"
"You're out."
"Out!? You mean I'm safe!" Michael said, trying not to get too excited.
"Yeah. You're safe."
"They approved my exiting?"
"Yes."
Michael's eyes bulged out in disbelief.
"How?" he stuttered, still in shock.
"Michael, I don't know how to say this without it sounding completely insane."
"Then just say it." he said, impatiently.
"Okay." he took a deep breath to ready himself.
"It's Sydney..."
"What! OH MY GOD!! Did you find her? Is she alive? Is she....dead?" he asked, the last part killing him to say.
"She's alive."
He was quiet. He couldn't say anything. She's alive! She's alive! She's alive! He kept repeating that line over and over in his head, debating whether or not this was real.
"Hello?" Weiss said after a minute, pulling him back to Earth.
"Oh my God! You're serious!"
"She contacted the CIA a couple hours ago. Kendall wants you to get to the safe house in China. She's there."
"You're kidding me."
"No. I'm not. How soon can you leave?"
"You're shitting me, right." he said, pulling his jacket on over his head. "I'm on my way out the door right now."
Remembering Roberta, he turned around and scanned the room frantically for paper.
Spotting an old receipt, he quickly scribbled her a note telling her not to worry and that he would contact her soon. Everything was fine.
"Weiss?"
"There will be a jet standing by in twenty minutes."
"K." Michael said before hanging up the phone and running for the car.

As he drove down the deserted streets of London, he remembered the last two years of his life. Finding out Sydney was missing, possibly dead, being forced to enter the Witness Protection Program for his own safety, having to "marry" Roberta to keep his cover, starting a new life in a new country. Everything was a blur.

Suddenly, everything that was going on blew up in his face. Like a pound of C4 his situation flashed through his mind, the reality of it all sinking in. "Sydney. She's alive." he whispered to himself.
Choking on his own words, he tried to stop thinking.

Finally, he pulled into the airport. Driving around to the back, he saw his jet waiting for him. He parked his car, and ran, as it was now pouring, to it as fast as he could.
He nodded at the captain, and they immediately took off. As he sat there, he tried to prepare himself for everything that was going to happened. It was going to be so mind blowing, seeing her again!
He leaned is head back, and closed his eyes, trying to get some sleep before they got to China.
***********************************
"Sir." he heard, feeling a hand shaking him.
His eyes fluttered open.
"Yeah." he grunted, still half asleep and confused at his surroundings.
"Yeah, sir. We're here."
"China?"
"Yes sir."
"Oh my god." he said rubbing his forehead.
The man quickly explained how to get to the safe house.
Michael nodded, thanked the man, and jumped out of the jet. Running down the crowded streets of the city, dodging everyone and everything in his way, he could only think of one thing; Sydney.
He finally made it to the safe house. A little Chineese restaurant.
A small woman nodded whe he walked in.
"Mr. Vaughn?" It sounded so good. No one had called him that in two years!
"Yes." he nodded.
"Please, come with me."
He followed the woman through the kitchen. She opened a door that led to a long narrow hallway. It seemed like it was some kind of small inn.
She pointed to a door. "It's the third door on the right. Room 47."
He nodded a silent thanks.
He took a deep breath and walked to the door. He stood there for a moment, taking one last second to prepare himself.
And then, he slowly opened it.

Chapter Four
********************

He took in one final, calming breath. Reaching for the knob, her turned it and slowly opened the door.
He closed his eyes, poking his head through. When he opened them he saw her and everything came flooding back to him. Every touch, every kiss, every sleepless night of wondering whether she was still alive.
His solemn face was a portrait of all the fear inside him. It was a fear to love her again. Fear that she would disappear from him. He knew if she did, he would die.
She stood up, running to him, and throwing her arms around his neck. Dry tears stained her face and dripped onto his shoulders. He held her somewhat tightly, reveling in her presence.
He still wasn't sure whether this was real. Whether this was all another
cruel dream he would wake up from any minute. She stroked the back of his head, caressing it softly, letting out a sigh of relief.
Standing there, holding her in his arms, he realized she would never disappear again. He wouldn't let her. He knew that this was real. He knew it wasn't a dream. He knew he had her back. The love of his life.
She finally pulled away.
"They doubled Francie." she said frantically.
"I know."
"What happened to Will? To Francie? Are they dead?"
"Will's okay."
"What? How?"
"You.... sit down." he said, shaking his head and then looking over at the bed.
"Vaughn?" she asked, sitting down.
"We thought you were dead." he said sadly. He let out a short breath.
"They asked me to come back...to...to explain."
"Come back from what? What are you talking about?" He reached up to massage his face, trying to calm himself.
"Vaughn.... why are you wearing that ring?"
"Syd,.... since that night, you've been missing....
You've been missing for almost two years." he said, trying to fight back more tears.
Her face immediately changed. It went from freaked out to terrified.
Finally getting her voice back, she spoke.
"Two...." she swallowed, trying to recompose her fading voice.
"Two years?....How...What? That can't be true."
"Syd...."
"Vaughn, are you.... how? I mean, are you... are you sure?"
"God, Syd. Am I sure. Everyday has gone by so painfully slow that it hurt." he said softly. He paused for a moment and then a look of confusion came over him. "Wait, you didn't know that?"
"No.... Vaughn, I can't remember a thing."
"What?" he asked, his confusion clearly evident now.
And the tears came. Streaming down her face, like rivers.
"Shhh...Shhh...Syd, it's okay." he said reaching out and pulling her into his arms.
"I've been missing for two years." she cried into his shoulder.
"and I can't remember a thing.... and you're....you're...married." she sobbed.
"Married?" he asked, then remembering the ring, looked down. A small smile spread across his face.
"Sydney, I'm not married."
"The ring..?" she nodded, attempting to muffle her sobs as she pulled back.
"I was placed in the WPP after you left. They thought someone might be after me too."
"So you're not married?" she said, a small smile spreading across her face, through the tears.
"Only technically. She has a boyfriend."
He sighed. "Sydney, I know this is complicated, we're going to have to work out a lot, but before another second goes by I need to tell you what has been keeping me awake every night for the past two years."
She nodded.
He inhaled deeply, preparing himself for what he was about to say.
"I love you. I should have said something a long time ago."
"Vaughn..." she said, a final tear sliding down her cheek.
He reached up to tenderly wipe it away.
"I know it's complicated. I mean, like ten times more complicated then before and you don't have to say anything, it's just, I wanted you to know and..." he rambled.
"Vaughn...." Sydney interrupted.
"Yeah...what?" he said snapping back.
"Shut up." she said, leaning forward to kiss him lightly.
Bringing her closer to him, he pulled her into his lap and intensified the kiss.
Letting go of all the worry and relief, passion and pain, longing and love out into the simple kiss.
When they finally pulled apart she smiled and replied, "I love you too. More than I could say."
