Ghosts

First moves

Disclaimer:
I do not own Alias; ABC, Bad Robot Productions and JJ Abrams do, and I give full acknowledgement of that (good work guys). I do not own and am not affiliated in any way, with the brands mentioned in this piece (such as Ford, BWM or Colt), more than likely I've used them because they're known, or because they're very nice bits of kit that I hope to have one day. Finally, I'm a student, don't sue me, I've got nothing worth taking.

Authors note:
This is my first publicly displayed bit of fiction, but is not the first I've written and I know there's always room for improvement.
Originally, this was going to be used as part of an English Lit piece I've been working on for some time, but I got a bit bored with it, so I tried to mould it into an Alias fic. The success of this hybrid will only become apparent with reviews and comments, so please R&R.

Time frame:
None - Just generally set after Sydney becomes a double agent.


It had been agreed, and agreed upon unanimously by the heads of department.

The Alliance would have to face their wrath.

Their latest incursion by an operative of SD-9, had nearly cost them everything, and they couldn't allow anyone to get that close again.

And so, they authorised the deployment and full tactical usage of their military wing against the enemy, combining over two hundred and fifty highly skilled tactical operatives, equipped with an arsenal to match, with support from both air and armoured units.

But first, they needed to find the enemy, and for that, they had a plan.

For some time, information regarding The Alliance had come directly from a source inside their own organisation, detailing everything from telephone conversations, to financial transactions, to personnel rosters, and one piece of information they'd come across, had sparked their interest.

They were on a hunt.

A hunt for items made, or designed by a man named 'Rambaldi'.

A man who lived nearly six hundred years ago, as an architect for Pope Alexander the sixth, who was declared insane, and then killed because of it.

He alone was interesting, but the safety of their own organisation came first - their curiosity would have to wait, until they were certain they were safe.

The Alliance would have to pay dearly for what they had done, not only for supplying information and arms to terrorist and rebel factions, but for killing an operative of theirs in cold blood.

A single operative of theirs had died, not purposefully, but was now dead, nonetheless because of the sloppy actions of the alliance.

They needed to set an example to everyone else.

You do not mess with MI0.
