chapter 1: missions, meetings, and decisions


Sydney Bristow was sitting at her sleek white desk in the APO office (Authorized Personnel Only), a black ops division of the CIA. The low murmur of other agents could be heard discussing various undercover operations all over the world. She had seen a lot in her years as a government agent, from the fall of an evil organization, to doubling technology capable of making a person look like another.

Her boyfriend, Agent Michael Vaughn was across the room from her, typing what she assumed was an operations report. Sydney had just been briefed on a mission to Andorra, a small country in southwestern Europe. The maker of a biological agent was an Andorran whom they were set to meet at a coffee shop as an Australian couple Aaron and Alissa Blakemore.

Vaughn got up from his desk, hitting some buttons on his keyboard before heading over to Sydney. "Hey" he said sitting on the edge of her desk. She looked up at him. She couldn't believe that with the events of the past year, she could be lucky enough to have him sitting there. "Hey" she said smiling. "We're leaving in an hour, you ready?" he asked. Was she ready? That was a question the agent had to ask herself every now and then. She decided on an answer, "just a minute"

Sydney flipped her fake blonde hair out of her eyes and was just smoothing her skirt as Vaughn walked in. He was used to seeing her look like someone else, but he was sure that he could recognize her no matter what her disguise. "You'll need this" he said taking a teardrop necklace from the table and crossing over to her. This was no ordinary necklace; it was designed by APO's tech guy, Marshall Flinkman. Vaughn put the necklace/camera on Sydney's neck and she smiled.

"Come on Aaron" she said with her Australian accent, the trace of a laugh in her voice.

Abdías Asesino sat at the table farthest to the right and had three coffee cups in front of him just as he had said. "How is the mocha latte?" Alissa asked as she approached the table. "Good" said Abdias "but I suggest trying something a little more adventurous" They definitely had the right man.

She and Aaron sat down across from Asesino and launched into business. "We" Vaughn said in an Australian accent, "are interested in some information on your bio agent…what was it called, De gruwel?" "Yes" said Asesino "De gruwel literally melts the victim from the inside so that they become nothing more than a pile of seared flesh"

The thought of innocent people feeling their intestines liquidate within them sickened the agents, but they continued as if this was what they had been waiting to hear. "Yes, that should get the job done nicely" said Alissa. "Let's talk price "said Aaron taking his "wife's" hand in his. "Five million" said Asesino simply "I won't go any lower" "okay" said Aaron "but here's the deal, before I even entertain the idea of buying you're…concoction, I'd like to meet with you're supplier" "I'm sorry but I don't think I can do that" "that wasn't a request" Aaron said getting up from the table "I don't trust anyone but the source" "wait, wait!" said the man almost frantically "I'm sure there's something I can do"
