She was on a mission. Her final mission. She was finally going to find her mother and make her confess. To what she didn't know. But she had a lead on Khasinau, and he would give her Laura. Well, actually he would be giving her Irina.
She reached up and touched the necklace Vaughn had given to her last night. She didn't mean to, but the moment she saw him she burst into tears. He asked what was wrong and she had to tell him. Tell him about all the hatred. Tell him about all plans. Plans to find her mother. Tell him of the dreams she had of finally making her mother pay for all she had done to her and her dad and all the other lives she had ruined. The flight attendant stopped by her and asked her if she wanted chicken or pasta.
"No, thank you." She had learned the hard way to never eat airplane food.
She found her headphones and turned the dial to a classical station then leaned back and tried to sleep. As she drifted of her thoughts were filled with pictures of her dad, Francie, Will, Sloan, and Vaughn…

He couldn't believe he had let her go. But he knew it was right. And he knew if he had tried to stop her she would of kicked his six to heck and back. When he bought the necklace to give her, he didn't' realize that it might have been there last meeting together. He wished he could do it over. Give her more than a kiss on the check. Tell he loved her. God, he missed her already.
The alarm by his bed went off. Slowly rolling over he hit the top to make it stop. He was not ready for this day. Having to tell Jack Bristow that his only daughter had run away to find and destroy the woman who had betrayed him. Not to mention the fact that Jack had a gun with him at all times. He knew he had to tell Jack. He knew Sdyney would be mad if he did. But he also knew that even though Syd had told him not to go after her, he would, and he needed Jack's help.
Slowly he stumbled into the shower to wash all his thoughts away…
*******************************************************
Syd made her way off the plane decked out in a platinum blond wig and tight silver mini-skirt with a red tank top about 10 sizes to small. After getting through customs in Rostov, a large and forgotten Russian town on the West border of the black sea, as Sara Stull a crazy college kid coming to go clubbing, she went to the nearest telephone booth, but used her own phone.
First she called Francie to tell her that she probably wouldn't be home for dinner tonight, or for that matter she most likely wouldn't be seeing her for the next week. Next she called Vaughn, but hung up after the first ring. If he found out where she was he would come help her, and she couldn't put him in that kind of danger.
The note said that Khasinau had a flat on the east side of the city over looking the sea. She hailed a taxi and began her mission.
********************************************************************
Jack walked into the bloodmobile mad and in hurry. He didn't have time for young officers with crushes on his daughter bugging him about nothing. As he sat the expression on Vaughn's face startled even him. He sat their looking mad, amused, guilty, and scared to heck all at once. Jack at once knew this was no meeting to gain info on his daughter.
" What happened to Syd this time?" he demanded without even a greeting.
" Um… well sir she… um… well she ran away," the poor agent stammered.
Of all things this was probably the one thing he was not prepared for. Her getting hurt, getting kidnapped, being found out, that he could deal with, this he could not.
"What do you mean she ran away!" he roared.
Vaughn put his head in his hands and sighed heavily.
" I don't know how to tell you this, but she went to find her mother." There he said it. He should feel better, not worse. But Vaughn felt worse.
"Oh God." That was all Jack could manage. This felt like a blow to the stomach. That Sydney would want to still find this woman, even after all she had learned about her, all the things she had put her through.
"Jack she doesn't' want to befriend her or make her come back. Jack she wants to kill her."
