Jack met them at the hidden exit and they hopped into a typical, black SUV, finally on their way to the airport.

The drive was anything but peaceful. Nearly the second Jack hit the gas pedal, there was screaming, first originating from Sydney...

"Dad, I don't know what you guys think I did wrong, but.."

"Sydney. Please listen to me carefully. Sark struck a deal with us. He somehow found out about your double-agent status and came to us with a trade off. In exchange for some legal documents on an escaped convict that we had held up in CIA special forces jailhouse, he promised to offer us Intel that proved you were not really loyal to the CIA, Intel that suggested you were a triple-agent with K-Directorate. Kendall, being the unknowledgable jackass that he is, agreed with this deal. He put you in custody and showed us the Intel. Agent Vaughn and I knew the Intel had to be incorrect, we knew, no doubt, that you were always loyal to us. Just as we were preparing to let you go, Sark presented us with another deal. He told us he would destroy SD-6 if we kept you in custody for the duration of your life. He said all he wanted was revenge for all the times that you, Sydney, got whatever you were sent to get on a mission, that he wanted. It was all for revenge." Jack pondered for a few moments before continuing,

"We, knowing you would have wanted SD-6 to be brought down more than anything, agreed. To make sure the deal was followed through with, Sark tapped into our video feed of the holding cell you were in. But of course, we would not keep you locked up forever. This is why we are going on this mission. SD-6 was burned to the ground this morning at 11:00 A.M. Through some tapped connections on Sark's cell phone we were able to find out that right now, Sark is on a plane to Germany to retrieve a blackmail disk containing only damaging information about the Alliance that was started by Irina several years ago. He recently completed the disk and is prepared to destroy it so that it can never get into the wrong hands. He needs some documents and Rambaldi artifacts from the Alliance for a newly discovered device that can blow up a country in its entirety." Jack was nearing breathlessness from the lengthy explanation.

"As you should already know, we want the Alliance destroyed as soon as possible. We rigged the tape of you two sleeping last night to replay itself to keep Sark believing we still have you in the cell. While we are gone, he will just believe you are sleeping. So now, we are going to Germany to first get the disk and then assassinate Mr. Sark so that he can no longer cause trouble for the Agency." Jack finished.

Silence filled the car as Sydney and Irina absorbed the information.

"Jack, I know where the disk was before I turned myself in, but Sark has surely changed its location to keep it concealed,..how will we find it?" Irina queried.

"No, you're wrong Irina. Sark never moved the disk. He never even touched it. When he added information to it, he set up a satellite transmitter to program it onto the disk. He plans to destroy it by blowing up the cave it is in." Jack answered shakily.

"I don't understand. Why would he be afraid to go near it?" Sydney asked, confused.

"He is afraid to get near it because it is in the underground quarters of a chute that he went to when he was young. You have to know him well to understand why he is afraid of his youth church. On his final visit to it, he was 15 years old. The priest was a friend of his family and had invited him to come and listen to his upcoming sermon ahead of time. To make a long story short, Sark came home a different person. He could be placed under the title, 'Rupert Sark, sexual molestation victim'." Irina shivered.

Sydney went back and forth between a look of disgust and a look of sympathy.

"I recruited him when he was 16 and trained him to fight. He was the perfect candidate, full of anger and strong will." Irina sighed at the memory.
