Chapter 14: A Big Decision
Sydney took off yet another day from work and went with vaughn to the JTF. She marched in proudly. She wore a black pants suit with a pink shirt and her boots. Vaughn wore his classic black suit with a blue tie.
Kendall was waiting for them in his office. The couple walked right on in, not even bothering to knock on the door.
Kendall looked up from his desk. "Good morning Agent Vaughn. Ms. Bristow."
"Morning." Sydney said, trying to sound as cheerful as possible.
She took a seat opposite kendall.
"I'm here for a reason, Kendall. Let me tell you my conditions. 1. I will be field rated, but i will only go on 2 operations each year. 2. I am free to leave whenever i feel like. 3. I will not be called in at ridiculous hours and will not be called in more than 3 times a week. 4. I will make at least $80,000 a year and will also make a $50,000 chirstmas bonus."
"$80,000 a year? Plus a $50,000 bonus? I'm afraid that that will be too much. The CIA cannot afford to spend that much just on employee's salaries. I'm afraid that can't be done."
"Well then, I'm afraid that I won't be able to come back. Those are my terms. I want them all clearly stated in a contract that both you and i will sign. If you want me back that is."
kendall groaned. "Fine. I'll be back in 5 minutes with a contract."
He left.
"Syd, are you sure you want to do this? I don't want you to be forced to agree."
"Vaughn, I'm tired of going to work, living a 'normal' life. My life will never be normal. I'm still looking over my shoulder, and i'm not seeing anyone. if i have to be looking over my shoulder, there might as well be someone to see. I miss the excitement. I miss my life as Agent Bristow."
"Alright. Now, if we're gonna get married, and in about a year or 2, if we're gonna have a family, don't you think that our kids will be wondering why you call me by my last name? Call me michael. i don't know how many times we've had this conversation before."
Sydney smiled. "Yeah, i can just see it now. 'Mommy, why do you call daddy vaughn?'."
Vaughn smiled.
Kendall came back in.
He sat back down, and placed a paper on the desk. "Ms. Bristow, your contract. Sign it and we'll be finished here."
Sydney gave him a look, and read everything over twice, ignoring kendall's angry glance and annoying habit of tapping on tables.
she picked up a pen and signed it. "Now that i'm back, I will be taking the next few days off. In case you haven't heard, Michael and i are getting married and will be spending a week in Hawaii before he leaves for Bangkok."
"Consider it done." He said, glad that she was back.
She nodded.
"Sydney, you will need to take a picture for you new badge. Everyone has new ID's." kendall told her.
"Alright. Give me a few minutes to fix my hair and apply some makeup."
Kendall rolled his eyes and left.
sydney went to the bathroom, leaving vaughn sitting alone.
She opened the door to the 2nd floor women's bathroom and went to the mirror. She fixed her 'California Cut' hair and after smoothing out her layered hair, she applyed some lipstick and redid her eyeshadow.
She went back to the room, and left her purse with vaughn before leaving once again to take a picture. Within 10 minutes, she was walking out of the Joint Task Force center with vaughn, her new badge in her purse.
she drove home, and began to pack for their honeymoon the day after tomorrow. She used all 3 suitcases that she had. They were all full of shoes and matching dresses.
She took a shower, and got ready for the rehearsal ceromony and dinner.
