Chapter One
Just Do It
Will Tippin was enjoying his new job as a travel brochure editor. He actually found himself putting in more hours than he ever did when he worked at the newspaper. He found the work fascinating and rewarding. Of course, he knew he couldn't tell anyone that he wasn't editing travel brochures, but instead was writing summaries of multiple documents that came into the possession of his actual employer, the Central Intelligence Agency. His current assignment was to sort though 127 boxes of documents that had been retrieved by the CIA from the offices of SD-6.
SD-6! What a nightmare that had been. All he wanted to do was give his best friend, Sydney Bristow, some closure on the death of her fiance. At the time he was 'investigating' Danny's death, he didn't know that Syd already knew all the facts surrounding Danny's death. Will now knows some of those facts.
He also knows that there is a lot he will never know, which is fine with him. His investigation into SD-6 almost cost him his life. He's alive today only because Sydney's father somehow convinced Arvin Slone, the head of SD-6, that the death of a local reporter would cause more notoriety to SD-6 than letting him live.
It was Jack Bristow that thought up the plan to convince the locals that Will Tippin's SD-6 story was just a drug addict's pathetic attempt at stardom. Once Will was revealed to be a heron addict, it took away any credibility or interest that anyone in the journalism field had for his story; or for him. Once his credibility was gone, there was no benefit to killing him. In fact, it most likely would have placed focus back on the story. Someone else would surely have started the investigation all over again.
Ever since Will got his new job there was something that he had been wanting to do, but he still hadn't been able to get up the nerve to do it.
Late at night, Will would drive by The Grill. He'd make one run though the parking lot to see if a certain black Lincoln was parked there. He was always relieved when it was not. Twice, however, he'd driven though the lot and saw that the car was there. Fortunately, he was always able to justify to himself why this was not the time to stop and confront the owner or the Lincoln.
Tonight was different. Tonight he sat in the parking lot of this upscale bar and grill and thought about all that had happened over the last year and more important, what had happened over the last few weeks.
Even though he was now an employee of the CIA, he's obviously not privileged to very many details about the take down of SD-6. He did however, know that in addition to saving his own life, the owner of the black Lincoln played a major role in taking down SD-6. He also knew that role almost cost Jack Bristow his own life.
Will was now realizing how dangerous it is to be a CIA agent. He knew that someday they could go on a mission and just never return.
Will was getting annoyed at himself for putting this meeting off for as long as he had. He had wanted to talk with Jack long before the SD-6 take down. He realized he almost lost his chance a few weeks ago, when Jack was almost killed. He was never told exactly what happened, but he knew it was a close call.
Tonight as he sat in the parking lot he said to himself, "for god sakes Will, you confronted him in this same place a year ago when you thought he wanted to kill you, what's the big deal now?" With that thought he got out of his car and entered The Grill. "The Grill! What an appropriate name," he thought as he entered the building.
