The Barnett Chronicles
Chapter One: Jack Bristow
Barnett began to read the first page in the manila folder. She always wrote a composition-like report on each of her patients—just for future reference, like now. She immediately began to remember….
OCTOBER 2001--Jack Bristow is a tall, rather oppressive-looking man in his early fifties. He began therapy first when his wife who faked her death twenty years ago was back and in prison. Was not happy with coming; the usual denial about self well-being.
Explained to me the situation that his wife (Irina Derevko, civilian, former KGB agent) was dangerous and that no one was listening to him when he told them that she would betray them. Obviously very frustrated; seems "to the extreme" in his decisions.
Told me that he would do anything to convince his daughter (Sydney Bristow, ID-CLASS: USS-CI-2300844) that her mother was not someone to communicate with. Also made an attempt to enlist myself to convince her of the above stated. Was told by myself that as much as I respect his intentions, I would not convince her of the unthinkable.
I have inferred that he is discontented to the point of a possible state of unstableness. I might be forced to report him, should I see any more traces of possible manipulation.
JUNE 2003—Was ordered to therapy soon after his daughter's (Sydney Bristow) death. Very disheveled appearance—unshaved for what looks like a few days, clothing put on as if he was apathetic. Very depressed, usual with deaths of loved ones. Upset almost to the point of doing something dangerous to himself or others.
Described to me that he feels that he'll do anything to catch whoever did it to her. Explained to me what measures he was already taking to do so. Seems to be in a denial and depression stage; almost as if he believes that she is gone for a while and didn't say goodbye. As if he is in a state of mind where he believes that she will be back within a matter of time, but is still battling with reality.
I have made a report to officials that he be closely watched; that he is unfit for duty.
EXTRA NOTES: Was a former double-agent with SD-6, a cell within the now destroyed Alliance. Worked along-side Arvin Sloane (Former criminal, now consultant with CIA) for over 30 years. Was imprisoned for two years for Resisting Authority (secretly contacting Irina Derevko and working with her for purposes not known to CIA, possibly criminal). Sydney, his daughter, was recently discovered in Hong Kong, and is now working again with Bristow.
Very mentally unstable when important and emotional events take place in his life. Therapy has been suggested full-time.
A/N: So, what do you think? Bad? Good? And I have explained to you that this will probably be AU, but I felt that I needed to start fresh with something. Barnett fascinates me somehow, and I wanted to write about her. And I understand that the chapters are a little short, but this is, you must understand, focusing on one person and writing reports about them each time she has seen them.
