Shock

Chapter 1

Bullets ricocheted off the pavement of downtown Toronto. Sydney Bristow sprinted through the maze of allies trying to lose her aggressive roof-top attackers. As usual, she wondered why she put her life on the line for such a slimeball like Sloane. It's for the country, she reminded herself as she rounded the corner, heading for the hotel.

A gloved hand quickly smothered her mouth and she was pulled roughly into a building. She grabbed her assailant's hand and flipped him to the ground. She pinned the man and then ripped his mask off.

She gasped as she recognized the blue eyes, the shiny blond hair, and the flawless skin. She knew who she was the instant she saw her. Alice. The bombshell blonde who had once occupied the single picture frame in Michael Vaughn's office. The man that attacked her was not a man at all. It was Vaughn's Alice.

"Where is she?" Michael Vaughn said impatiently, as he paced quickly across the hotel room. "She's late, she's never late."

His best friend looked at him sympathetically, "Seriously Michael, you should learn to calm down a bit. The CIA is never going to let you do any field work again if you keep freaking out." Agent Weiss sat comfortably in a flowery chair. "Sydney's fine. She kicks ass. To tell you the truth, sometimes she makes ME nervous."

Vaughn sighed, "I know, I'm just worried about her." He was too emotionally attached and he knew it. That was why he had agreed to go out again.

A couple of weeks ago, Weiss had informed him that he was looking a little on the depressed sleazeball side, and that he should try to go out and have fun again. Vaughn had strongly disagreed and stayed at his apartment that night.

Later that night his telephone rang. He hoped it was "Joey's Pizza", but quickly recognized Alice's smooth voice. She apologized for being unsupportive and wanted to give their relationship a second try. Vaughn had hesitated but agreed. Surprisingly, he had a great time. They were now seeing each other regularly. They were now completely open and honest. Vaughn shared everything with her. She shared everything with him.

Alice had changed, for the better, and he wasn't regretting a minute of it. He thought, that he just maybe he might be falling for her.

Alice realized that she had shocked Sydney Bristow. She took advantage of it, flipped Sydney unto the ground and held a revolver to her temple.

"Surprise!"
