A/N: Susan told rin to tell Mj to tell CQ to tell C to tell Whitt to tell S&V to tell JJ to tell me to tell all of you that there are a lot of in jokes in this (including the A/N…) so if you're confuzed, just ask, and it will all be cleared up… Also, we will probably be continuing this fic later (to help keep us spoiler free, you see) and if so, we'll keep posting here.

Irina Derevko stared at the blank walls of her cell. She was getting sick of being there. Everyone thought she had an ulterior motive for turning herself in, but none of them knew what. Jack had some strange ideas about it being some master plan of manipulation. He was so silly sometimes, Irina mused. Like the time they had gone to a movie and he had purchased some Whoppers just to throw them at people below them. Irina still didn't know what movie they had seen that day. She smiled at the memory.

She then returned to her previous line of thought. She had no master plan; she wasn't manipulating anyone. In all honesty, she just needed a place to stay for a few months. The rent had gone through the roof on her place in Russia, and she just couldn't afford it. Actually, she could have easily afforded it, if she wanted to. But in her anger, she had blown the building up when she found out about the new prices.

There went that idea.

So, while waiting for Sark to find her a new place, she came up with a plan to turn herself in to the CIA. It would save her money she would otherwise spend on a hotel- though she certainly preferred the food and service at her favorite 5 star hotel- and it afforded her the opportunity to at least attempt to reconnect with Sydney and Jack. But now, she was growing bored, and Sark was too busy with Sloane to find her the new house she wanted. Irina sighed, reminding herself to pay Sark a visit as soon as she got out. She might have to tie him down and force him to watch a Teletubbies marathon…

Just then, Irina remembered something. Earlier that day, some CIA agents had come down to do a routine cleaning of her cell. While one man and one woman worked quickly, ten others with guns stood watching Irina, who was keeping an eye on the cleaners. Apparently unnoticed by anyone else, a pink and gold Mardi Gras type beaded necklace had fallen out of the man's pocket. He didn't seem to notice as he finished his part of the cleaning and left not even two minutes after arriving. Acting as if she were stretching, in an effort not to draw any suspicion from whoever might be watching on the cameras, Irina had picked up the necklace and put it under her pillow.

Now, she looked towards her cot. She had her way out.

A few minutes later, Irina Derevko was once again walking down the street, leaving behind the pillow and beads she had used to bust out. She laughed to herself as she thought of the idiocy of the CIA. She ducked her head as she noticed a few people looking at her. Then, she faded into the crowd. What she didn't notice was a pair of brown eyes tracking her disappearance…

Sydney decided it was time to go visit her mom again since it had been awhile and she wasn't sure if Irina knew she had decided to stay with the CIA. She had to convince her that it really had nothing to do with her mother, and everything to do with the evil Sloane. As she neared the cell where Irina was she noticed all sorts of abnormal activity outside. When she finally made it all the way to the cell, she found that it no longer held her mother but rather a bunch of agents looking around for something. Sydney wondered if perhaps she had miscalculated the time and that her mother was up on the roof utilizing her 15 minutes outside. But by the look on the agent's faces she could tell something was wrong.

She pulled aside one of the agents and asked quietly, "Where is Irina Derevko?" The agent looked guiltily at her.

"She escaped Agent Bristow. We're not really sure how but she's gone."

Sydney left in a state of shock. She couldn't believe her mother had gotten out.
