A/N:  I finally got inspired for the Kesi Story!  lol!  In any case, as soon as my beta reader has a chance to look over the first part and send it back to me, I'll post.

This is the requested sequel to my trilogy, "Familiar Face."  I realize this won't be a big review magnet, as it focuses on a character I made up for the trilogy.  But for any new readers, here's a synopsis of Familiar Face.

Sydney woke up instantly, feeling her limbs scream in protest as she twisted her head to look at her surroundings. Stark white walls stood guard around her stiff bed, and when she tried to move, she discovered that she was chained securely in place.

She moaned in pain and turned on her side as far as her chains would allow, trying to remember how she had gotten to this place. The single door stared at her menacingly, holding no answers. To her frustration, the last thing that she remembered was getting off the plane—


The screech of the door gave her little warning before someone came into the room. "I see you are awake." Ana Espinosa stood before her, dangling a key from her fingertips. Sydney felt a raging urge to slap the smug look off her nemesis' face, and suddenly the memories all came flooding back. . .

Sloane sends Sydney to Pennsylvania to retrieve another Rambaldi journal that's just been discovered.  She will meet up with Olim Idlabmar, the man in possession of the journal, at his home, and an exchange will take place.  However, unbeknownst to SD-6, K-Directorate has received the same intel and has a team waiting.  They capture Sydney and give her two options: go through with the planned meeting and return the journal to them, not SD-6, in return for her life, or refuse and be killed.  She agrees to get the journal for them.

She meets with Idlabmar as planned and he leads her into the forest, where he has buried the journal as a safeguard against robbery.  K-Directorate men surround them.  As Idlabmar hands her the box containing the journal, shots ring out and he falls to the ground, dead.  Sydney takes off into the trees.

A CIA helicopter circles closer and closer to her position as she finds that she has no option but to fight K-Directorate.  Desperately outnumbered, she holds them off for a time but eventually begins to weaken.  Vaughn and Weiss watch from the helicopter as her death seems imminent.

Suddenly half of the K-Directorate men take off in the opposite direction, in pursuit of—what?  With a last burst of energy, Sydney escapes into the forest again.  She runs into another woman creeping around the bushes.  As the other woman turns around, she's shocked to see a mirror image of herself.  Her doppelganger tells her to escape and they part ways, Sydney still bewildered.

She reaches the helicopter and climbs up to Vaughn and safety, leaving Pennsylvania behind, but she's left a mystery behind as well…..

There are things better left unknown. Was Vaughn right? She hesitated, and it was in that hesitation that she heard it. A whisper of sound, easily dismissed if her nerves hadn't been so jumpy. But they were, and she froze, holding her breath.

A slight change of shadow upon shadow told her that a figure crouched at the door. A faint footstep told her that he-or she-had entered the room. Sydney guessed that she hadn't been seen: she heard no cry of shock, no anxious retreat into the hallway. She set the folders down silently beside her. She turned, balancing on the balls of her feet, and peered around the edge of the desk.

"You!" she gasped, then cursed herself for the outburst. The figure spun around to look at her. She found herself face-to-face with a gun, looking at her own face, her own eyes.

Her doppelganger took a step back, letting her gun fall to her side. She snarled softly. "Sydney," she breathed. Suddenly her eyes took on a wild, raging glint. "You're working against him!" She raised the gun again.

Sydney cried out and stumbled behind the desk as a shot rang out. The glass behind her shattered. A waterfall of shards cascaded down on her. She heard the guards shout out and they came running. Desperate, she grabbed the files and threw herself through the jagged opening in the glass, shielding her face with her arms. The hot sting of blood bit her cheek.

When she finally staggered outside, the CIA team pulled her into the car. The tires screeched as they shot down the street. Sydney clutched the files to her chest. Her face was cut and bruised, and tears rose in her eyes that had nothing to do with the pain.

Vaughn agrees to investigate the mysterious woman, but warns Sydney that it could mean compromising her double-agent status.  She explains that she couldn't live with this mystery hanging over her head.

At a later meeting, Vaughn reports to Sydney that Devlin wants her absent while this investigation is performed, for her own safety.  Angry, she finally consents to spend two weeks in Tahoe.

Sydney drives up to Tahoe and relaxes on the couch when Francie calls.  Her friend is indignant: she says she saw Sydney at a diner an hour ago!  Sydney explains it away and hangs up, shocked at the realization that her doppelganger is now in Los Angeles.  She calls Vaughn, confused.  He tells her that they've just discovered the woman was sent by SD-6.  So why doesn't Sloane know about Sydney's helicopter escape by the CIA?

Sydney wants to break into Sloane's office to view the files on the Pennsylvania mission and hopefully find out who the woman is, but Vaughn protests.  Sydney pleads with him and he finally tells her to start driving back now.  He'll tell Jack Bristow to deactivate the security around Sloane's office.

Late that night, she successfully gets the files, but as she's leaving, her doppelganger enters the room!  They stare and then, to Sydney's shock, the other woman opens fire on her.  She escapes and reaches a meeting room where Vaughn and Weiss are waiting.  They split the papers among themselves and tentatively start reading.

In Sydney's papers is the following letter:

Great work in Cairo. Hassan delivered the arms Tuesday morning. Find out what you can about Williams. I want a report by next week…Laura gave birth yesterday, you'll be happy to hear. Just as the doctor said, they were twin girls.

As agreed, Laura will live with you and together you will raise Sydney. Kesi stays with me. I'm expecting to be invited to the wedding. Remember, Jack. At eighteen, Sydney once again becomes mine.


Sincerely, Arvin

Horrified, Sydney leaves the room and runs into Jack Bristow.  She speaks angrily to him and finally tells him that she has no father.  Then she walks out, feeling betrayed.

"Are you crazy?" Jack grabbed her arm, jerking her back harshly to face him. "I know you're angry--I even understand why, dammit--but if you refuse to work with me, Sloane will know you've seen those files. And when that happens," he said in a softer voice, letting go and stepping back, "Your life will be worth less than nothing to him."

"You don't know that," Sydney countered. "And why should you? He's done more to protect my life than you ever have."

Jack recoiled as if she had slapped him. The unmasked shock in his face was enough to make Sydney momentarily sorry that she had gone so far. He lied to me, now he has to accept the consequences. The thought reinforced her wavering resolve and she straightened unconsciously, looking him coolly in the eye.

He took a deep breath. "Sydney--"

"I'm doing this alone." With that, she turned on her heel and left. Jack watched her go, the distant, stalwart man of a few moments ago nowhere to be seen. Long after she had disappeared from sight he stayed there, but she did not come back.

A security guard informs Sloane about the break-in of the night before.  He also tells him that the thief looked like Sydney.  Sloane begins to think up a test mission to see if it was, indeed, Sydney.

Meanwhile, back at her house, Sydney finally settles down to get some sleep on the living room couch.  A scratching sound wakes her up.  She cautiously goes to her room and sees that Kesi has broken in.  A fight ensues and Sydney realizes just how enraged her twin sister is.  She runs outside and flees in her car, Kesi in close pursuit.  After a car chase, Sydney reaches a roadblock and throws herself out of the car as Kesi slams into it.  Kesi runs from the scene.

Coming back to the SD-6 office the next day, Sydney explains away her cuts and bruises by saying that she was involved in an accident as she drove up to Tahoe and came back.  Sloane seems suspicious, but doesn't press it.  Instead, he gives her a mission assignment: K-Directorate has taken over a laboratory in England that has a complete map of SD-6.  Sydney feels sick as she realizes this could be a clever ruse to kill her quietly.

Sloane informs her that Dixon will not be her partner for this mission.  She protests that she can't break into a surrounded building by herself, but he assures her she will not be alone.  Going with her are Jack Bristow and….Kesi.

Later, Sydney details the mission on a paper bag and throws it into the trash can.  As she stands up she sees Jack there.  She tells him that she refuses to work with him and, incredulous, he exclaims that that will only prove to Sloane that she's seen the file on Kesi.  Sydney maintains that she'll carry this out alone.

Vaughn gives her her counter mission and cautions her to be careful.  They both wonder if she'll make it back to Los Angeles, but she has no choice but to go to England.  Meanwhile, Kesi plots to kill her…..
