I'm going to do something now that I hate it when other author's do. That probably, well definitely, makes me a hypocrite. So I'm sorry, well I would be sorry if I thought that anyone else had read this, enjoyed it and wanted to read more. I certainly wanted to read more when I got to the end and I specced out part two with another cliffhanger bit for part three. Then real life happened and I didn't write it and I've sort of lost my enthusiasm for it. I had so much fun writing this because it was whacked out having a four show crossover. It made me laugh. However, the ending when you had to get to the conclusion was weak. Of course it was, that's the failing point of any crossover, how to get them to fully crossover and interact. Reading my plans for part two was just making it worse. Yes there was some good stuff in there but most of it was making me roll my eyes in a "yeah right" sort of way.

However, given the cliffhanger I left this on I can't just leave it like that. I also don't want to bash something short out in order to tie it all up. I either have to do it as intended or not at all. I'm choosing the not at all option leaving me the problem of the cliffhanger. So basically what I'm going to do is just write what my notes were for what happens next. It's not as exciting as the flow of a story but it doesn't leave it horribly unfinished either. So here's the list of what happens/scenes. I won't subject you to my rambling plan.

Behind Brown Eyes
- At Sullivan's bar. Mac's got a shoulder wound, Lindsay and Larry have been shot in the chest, Danny's been hit with some flying glass.
- Jessica Angell at precinct babysitting Dunbrook. Disturbs his breakout and gets shot. (I wrote this scene and quite liked it so see end)
- Jack Malone interviews Emily Sloane. She offers information on where Sloane is holed up if Jack promises he won't get the death penalty.
- Jack tells the CIA and they go and raid the Italian house
- Meanwhile The CSI and Numb3rs team discover that the Snowman was the one responsible for hosing the bar and they investigate him (I think this was supposed to lead somewhere)
- Anyway CIA raid the Italian house. Syd and Irina have a showdown there, Irina tells Syd to trust Jack and the "Truth takes time" a lot like canon really only Syd doesn't shoot Irina
- Irina drops a disk or something giving the location of the warehouse where all the Rambaldi artifacts are stored. You see she's not evil and she went to see Sloane (she was the mysterious visitor that makes everything change from part one) she also obviously went to see Jack and got him on side with her plan to destory all the artifacts. Anyway, she rigs the warehouse to explode when the CIA raid it, more implosion than explosion, so all the artifacts are vaporised.
- Unfortunately for the plan Khasinua isn't her man, which is why The Man (aka Irina) was thought to have been behind the SD-6 invasion. He's really working for Elena and they steal all the artifacts giving her all the pieces to build the Firebomb.
- Sloane, Jack and Irina retreat to Irina's base of operations in Taipei. I'd planned for Jack and Irina to fight here, after all there's pretty clear evidence (that giant mueller) device that Irina isn't destroying Rambaldi artifacts, she's building them. That's not the case obviously, well it is, but it was in order to find out the secret, the antidote. I mean that mueller device turns up loads so it's a reasonable precaution. Anyway, they split up here.

- Jack and Irina head to Bangkok after the manuscript that tells where the heart is (which is needed to power Il Dire)
- Sloane goes to the FBI to rescue his wife. A bit of a shooting match. However, he just uses tranqs rather than bullets because he really does love Emily. Jack Malone doesn't know this though and 'takes a bullet' well tranq as it turns out for Sam. Another nail in the coffin of his marriage. Risking his life for her is getting to be a habit. Anyway, Sloane locks up Emily somewhere saying that she'll understand in time that he's only doing it for them.
- Meanwhile Jack and Irina know they are in trouble. They've lost all the artifacts to someone unknown. They need a bargaining chip and fast. They also need backup but they can't trust anyone. Irina's operation is comprimised as Khasinua was her number two. The CIA may also be comprimised as the timing was a little too convenient what with the raid and the theft happening at the same time. They need to look outside the CIA for help.
- Elena needs help too, specifically a high level mathmatician to build the firebomb. So she goes to grab Charlie. He's at the hospital visiting Larry. Samantha was there too getting fixed up (flying glass) from Sloane's FBI raid. She fights obviously and so Elena grabs them both.
- Jack and Irina of this development and decide that the conspiracy taskforce is just what they need. They need a mathmatician to decode the genetic database (Amita) and it doesn't take much background checking (something Jack probably did already when the warrents were applied for against Syd) to discover Colby is a spy. Now let's FTL is chinese intelligence. I know it's not but it was based in Hong Kong and it's not the first canon fact I've twisted. FTL was destroyed by Sark and so it's assets will have been picked up by others. Elena, Irina and Sloane. Lancer is an asset and luckily for the good guys he was picked up by Elena.
- They co-ordinate this plan. Meet back up with Sloane. He goes to meet with Kabir to get the other half of the manuscript but he knows that Kabir will want this show of power, probably against his traitorous ex-wife. So plan. They tell Sloane they'll use the mueller virus (and he goes off to Kabir). What they don't tell him is that they send Sark to the CIA (he pretends he has a conscience) and leads them to the cure (and escapes while there). That way no-one will die. They plan to grab Kabir's ex-wife and make it look like she died (real high dose or something) so Kabir still bites but no-one else suffers.
- The other plan is following Colby's intel. He passes it to Dwayne Carter who passes it to Lancer who meets with his new handler - Haldecki. Haldecki doesn't know much, but he's a spineless worm, maybe Megan could use her DOJ skills to break him. Haldecki gives them a location.
- They also need to go for the genetic database to find the heart and then get the heart so that's three places they need to be. Mexico, Panama and was it Switzerland? where the genetic database is. Jack and Irina can't cover all that and the conspiracy taskforce don't trust them anyway and want to watch their every move. So Hawkes, David, Danny Taylor and Flack go with Irina to Mexico to make people sick (see how I mixed the teams there). Jack goes for the genetic database with Stella and Danny as his watchers. He gets it and gives it to Amita who cracks it. Irina goes to Panama for the heart on her own. Flack and Hawkes are watching Kabir's wife and there's going to be lots of panic so I thought that David and Danny would be like crowd control.
- They not have a location for Elena, the heart and instructions on how to build Il Dire. These are so much better than the firebomb as that was a tool of Rambaldi's endgame whereas The Telling is the key to his endgame. They're hoping it's enough. Stella and Danny are guarding Haldecki.
- With an assault team of Don, Jack Malone and Mac they go for Elena. Irina and Elena have a sister on sister moment when Irina lets her distate for Rambaldi be known. They free Charlie and Samantha, set a load of C4 on the firebomb to destroy it, but before they can get the hell out of dodge Sloane interferes. He says he should have expected the betrayal and sides with Elena.
The CIA starts to finally piece stuff together. They're a bit behind given that it's chaos there what with dealing with all the Alliance people. They find out where Jack, Irina et al have headed and get a raid team together. The have a cool gizmo that tells them that there are seven people in the building. They're just about to go in when the building explodes.
- Cut to CIA headquarters, Nadia walks in and asks to speak to her sister
- Cut to Maria at home writing a letter for Jack "I don't want to be married to you anymore"
- Cut to Sark telling Cuvee the six nukes he wanted are in position.

Part Three

I haven't specced this out. Can you tell why I didn't want to write part two? It got really weak with the working together bit. How else was I supposed to keep everybody involved? I also don't really know about part three. Basically Nadia tells the CIA that there's a third player (they were just blaming Sloane, Jack and Irina for everything) so now they know about Elena. The suitcase nukes. I hadn't fully decided about that. In canon they were used to power the device that opened the flower (proof of everlasting life) however, they also had nukes, big launcher ones in the season five finale, with the plan being to profit billions from the reconstruction so that's a possiblity for use as well. Also, was going to bring in Cuvees echelon terminal. Anyway, nobody died by the way. The seven people weren't the main characters obviously. Jack and Irina distracted Elena and Sloane long enough for Mac, Don, Jack, Sam and Charlie to escape. They were then captured. The seven people were Elena's men, maybe couple of snatched virus victims I'm not sure.

Anyway, Elena and Sloane will build Il Dire and get the formula for the zombie creating chemical and they'll build Il Diluvio. So there's lots for the good guys to stop and they do stop it. The good guys always win. Elena and Sloane and Cuvee die. Rambaldi's machines are all destroyed. Jack and Irina get together, Irina gets pardoned. Hey maybe they start APO so Irina can work for the CIA only not openly obviously. They meet Nadia and it's all good. Jack and Sam get together. Hell if I've hinted at a romantic relationship then they get together and they don't live happily ever after because that would be impossible and boring but they do have good lives. That's a lame ending but I really don't know. That's all I got though. Hope that ties things up and makes it finished in a way that isn't too annoying. Thank you!

Behind Brown Eyes Scenes

14th Precinct

Day One – 8.20pm

"See you tomorrow," Jessica Angell waved at her colleague who had just taken over from her. Until the CIA got their act together they were left babysitting Dunbrook and she was one of the detectives who'd drawn the short straw. Jess was halfway across the strangely empty precinct when she realised she'd left her jacket. Cursing she went back to get it. She was almost there when she heard the distinctive sound of a gunshot. One hand instinctively went to her gun, the other to her cellphone.

"This is Detective Angell, badge number 9408/9521. Send all available units to the 14th Precinct, armed escape in progress," Jess whispered creeping along the corridor towards Dunbrook's cell. She put her cellphone away, both hands on her gun now she peered round the corner. The colleague who had just moments ago relieved her of duty was dead, a bullet hole between his eyes. Jess could hear the sound of keys; someone was at Dunbrook's cell, she got a little closer, it was a woman.

"Police," Jess yelled training her gun on the woman. The woman turned round and raised her hands as if in surrender, a small smile playing across her lips. Thoroughly unnerved Jess pointed the gun even more firmly at her suspect. "On your knees," the woman complied. Jess slowly, never moving the gun away from her, moved round and got behind her. "Hands on your head," again the woman complied. Jess took one hand off her gun to reach behind her back for the handcuffs; she got them and took a step forward reaching for the woman's left arm at the same time returning her gun to her holster. That's when the woman struck. One hand grabbed Jess' outstretched arm, while she rolled and kicked in a sweeping motion. Jess was launched up over her suspect where she landed hard and lost her grip on her gun, it went clattering across the floor a few feet away. Even with the wind knocked out of her Jess made a grab for the gun but the woman was faster. Jess got to her feet intending to try and get it back; she was no slouch at hand to hand. Although the way the woman had thrown her indicated she was dealing with an expert. She never got a chance the woman raised the gun and fired once. Jess fell backwards to the ground, blood spreading across her shirt. Her vision was starting to tunnel but she could hear perfectly, the jingling sound of keys again and then the squeak as the cell door opened.

"Thank you for extracting me," Dunbrook said, he looked down at Jess and shook his head in something like amusement, "You should have known not to challenge a Derevko,"

~ Flashback ~

"Good evening Arvin," Sloane looked up so fast his neck cracked. A woman walked out of the shadows of the corner of the room.

"Irina Derevko," Sloane stated automatically. Long years of practice kept him looking calm but internally his mind was spinning. Irina Derevko, otherwise known as Laura Bristow, he'd known of course for twenty years that she had survived the accident, that the accident hadn't been an accident but an extraction. As ordered he'd kept the fact that she was alive from Jack, but otherwise he hadn't thought about her in almost twenty years. What was she doing here? "Can I offer you a glass?"

Irina gave a throaty laugh, "You always were one for pleasantries Arvin," she sat down in the chair in front of his desk.

"Would you prefer I just asked you straight what you're doing here?" Sloane asked pouring himself a glass.

Irina nodded, "I am a busy woman Arvin for all that I have taken you by surprise. Now I have a proposition for you,"

"I'm listening," Sloane took a sip of the wine, excellent vintage.

"You are I share a common interest, namely Rambaldi. We both have pieces of the puzzle, it would be impossible for either of us to solve it alone. I propose a partnership,"

"You took the manuscript," Sloane stated pleasantly.

Irina smiled, "An employee of mine did, yes. That artefact is of particular interest to me,"

"And my wife," Sloane's tone was now ice cold, his eyes promised death.

"I expect by now you have been called by the Alliance, that they've told you that Emily has became aware of your involvement with SD-6. When I first learnt of this I thought that they would dispatch a security section team, I wasn't sure of how much time there was. I did have Emily taken Arvin, but to save her not to hurt her," Irina explained, mentally holding her breath, this had to go right, a lot depended on this. Without Sloane's cooperation the plan would never work.

Sloane said nothing for a long moment; his eyes were piercing, as if they were tying to evaluate her, to see if she spoke the truth. After a minute he nodded, "Ok, but you must be aware that this situation has perhaps irreparably damaged my standing within the Alliance."

Irina mentally sighed with relief before pasting on a smile, "That's why you're going to do this . . ."
