A/N: Sorry everyone who read the first part of my story, but I decided to change the prologue and make the previous post part of chapter one. Everyone please read and review!
Disclaimer: Of course I don't Alias. If I did, I wouldn't be posting Fanfic's on the Internet.
Summary: This basically takes place at the very beginning of the season, before Sydney had any idea that SD-6 was not a branch of the CIA. This is sort of an alternate way that Sydney found out about the Alliance's deception. So read and review!
My Two Countries
Arvin Sloane sat on the cushioned stool in the "conversation" room. Actually, conversation room was probably not the right name for it. The conversations that went on were a little one sided. Sloane asked a question, and the most often there would be no answer. This would cause Sloane to use one of his "silence breakers." Because in fact, in one-way or another, that's what his tools did. Whether it was the screaming or actual confessions, his methods of torture would definitely break the silence.
"Now, I'm going to ask you one more time. Who are you working for?" Sloane asked, as he held a syringe and needle in his hand. The syringe was filled with a clear liquid, but a liquid that was more venomous than it looked.
"I will never tell," his victim sputtered in agony.
"Very well," Sloane said. "This poison I'm about to enter into your body is from the calnutta plant, found only in its native home land in Australia. In small quantities, mixed in with some other minor drugs, it gives a great cure for the common cold. In large quantities, it's like an acid. It will slowly eat away your insides. A very painful death." Sloane said, as he filled the needle, and released the air bubbles from within.
He moved the needle towards the agent's arm. The agent's brow was covered in sweat, as he was unable to remove his gaze from the needle heading for his arm.
"Wait!" He shouted. He breathed heavily, and Sloane stopped. "My name is Aaron, Aaron Grayson, and I work…I work for the CIA." Sloane smiled at him as he continued the needle on the path to Agent Grayson's arm, and quickly injected the whole dispenser.
Agent Grayson looked at Sloane, fear in his eyes. Sloane walked up to the single counter on the other side of the wall and put the dispenser down. He picked up the syringe and held it up for Grayson to see. "Water, my friend, just water." Sloane however pulled open one of the counter's drawers and removed a revolver.
"Thank you, Agent Grayson." The next second, he fired. Sloane put his coat on over his white dress shirt, gave a few words to the man standing in the hallway, and proceeded upstairs to start the day.
