Chapter 2
Present Day (Italy - Syd and Vaughn's mission)
Sydney grabbed the latest documents that the CIA had sent her and Vaughn to retrieve. "Vaughn I've got them."
"Copy that Syd," Vaughn replied, "Meet me at the extraction point in ETA 10 minutes."
Running back the way she had come in, she stopped when she noticed the guards weren't where she left them when she knocked them out.
Slightly panicing, she turned around just in time to see the pipe come flying at her. It smacked her in the head and she crumpled to the ground.

Vaughn had been waiting for Sydney at the extraction point for twenty minutes. As each second passed he began to get more nervous, until the point where he was physically shaking.
"Syd?" he called over the comm link, "Sydney are you there? Sydney can you hear me?"
Nearly hysterical, he flung open the door to head back into the building after Sydney. Time was of the essence, and he knew that if he ran his fastest it would still be at least five minutes until he could reach her.

(Australia - Present Day)
Two bodies lay sprawled across each other, their blood mingling as were their hearts and souls.
Footsteps were heard stomping down the hallway as three figures hovered over the two cold bodies.
"Langely this is the recovery team," one radioed over, "Agents Fisher are dead, I repeat they are dead."
"Contact whoever they have down as their emergency number, and find their daughter Natalie, we have to find her guardian."
What they didn't know was that neither Peter or Kristine had any immediate family still alive, and years before, when Natalie was first born, they had put down for guardianship her godfather - CIA Agent Michael Vaughn.
* * * *
Meanwhile in LA, word of the death of fellow CIA Agents Peter and Kristine Fisher was spreading like wildfire, as was that that the guardian listed for their daughter was Vaughn.
Heading the search for Natalie Fisher, who wasn't at home and was away for the weekend, was Kendall and the whole LA Department of the CIA.
Kendall decided Weiss was being sent to Washington D.C. to attempt to track down 13-year-old Natalie who was now parentless and didn't even know what had transpired.
Kendall held a debrief for all agents, minus Sydney and Vaughn, who were out on a mission. "As you all have likely heard by now," Kendall began solemnly, "Fellow Agents Kristine and Peter Fisher who worked out of Langely were killed today while on a mission in Australia. While I don't know if this directly affects any of you, it does affect one of our fellow agents. Agent Vaughn was best friends with Agents Fisher before being transferred to LA. They named him their daughter Natalie's godfather. Upon their death Agent Vaughn was to get sole guardianship of Natalie. Our mission today is to track 13-year-old Natalie down and bring her back to LA."
All agents got up to leave as Kendall bellowed, "Agent Weiss please stay behind."
Weiss walked back in and sat down at the table. "Agent Weiss I would like you to fly out to Washington D.C. in an hour," Kendall explained, "You will be going to Langely and talking to other agents who knew Peter and Kristine to see if anyone knows where Natalie may be."
"Okay sir," Weiss agreed.
"And don't come back until you have Natalie," Kendall said, "Understand?"
"Yes sir."

(Present Day - Italy)
Vaughn saw the crumpled body laying on the floor and ran to it, tears falling from his eyes, praying that it wasn't Sydney, praying that he wasn't right.
When he saw the fanned out brown hair, his suspicion and his worst nightmare came true. He reached her side and saw the metal pipe laying next to her and the blood that was matted in her hair.
Placing his hand on the top of her head, he froze when his hand came back covered with fresh blood, Sydney's blood.
Pulling her head into his lap, he softly stroked her hair as the tears poured down his cheeks.
"Oh god Syd," he cried, "You should have told me you needed help, I could have helped you."
He picked her up into his arms and headed out the way they had come. Getting out into the shining moonlight, he radioed, "Base Ops this is Boyscout, Mountaineer is down, I repeat Mountaineer is down, we're heading back to LA."
