This was part of Ch.4 before, the explanation for the change is on Ch.4. There's some Russian in this chapter. I apologize in advance if I butchered the language, bear with me. Thanks for all the great reviews. Make my day; Please continue to review!!

Sydney waited in the warehouse, pacing, her fingers clutched in nervousness, waiting for her countermission.

"Hey." She turned around to see Vaughn, his smile conveying everything his words could not.

"Hey. Thanks for taking me home the other day."

"No problem." Vaughn suddenly cleared his throat, always aware that protocol weighed upon his every word and action. "About your countermission, the CIA wants you to take this pencil. It has a sort of radioactive tracer in it, when you've got the statue, trace over the Rambaldi sign with the pencil. It'll allow the CIA to track the statue."

Sydney seemed disturbed, her face taut with anger. "That's it? That's as good as doing nothing, Vaughn. In fact, we're helping SD-6. Why can't we proactively stop them before they get the statue?"

"Calm down, Sydney. Since we don't know what it is, the most intelligent thing to do is to lay silent, let SD-6 figure it out for us, and then act. We don't know which part of the statue to salvage, or what it even remotely looks like. That takes away the CIA's ability to make a fake replica to give SD-6."

Sydney sighed. "Fine, I'll do it. Anything else?"

"Be careful, Sydney. We have reports that K-directorate may be there for the statue as well. Watch your back."

Budapest

Sydney walked, her hair and eye color changed dramatically, wearing a short, cute suit. At that very moment, her father was breaking into the computer room. The receptionist, a young man, looked up, clearly intrigued by the visitor.

"Dobriy dyehn. Meenya zahvoot Tatyana Grigorevna. Ya Aoelzhehyen ehayehsveh ochyayenetveh esoznakehsteveyennvesteznakh."*

The receptionist gave her a quizzical look, checked his logbook, and said, "Spehyehahooyete eha Mehnoy"**

She passed the camera that she remembered from last week, and dropped the candy wrapper. Her father's voice echoed in her ear, "Good work, Sydney. I'll have the access codes for you in a moment."

She took out the cigarette liter, sprayed the canister towards the receptionist's eyes, and helped him down to the ground. She ran up three floors, and stood ready at the door, waiting for her father's signal.

"Sydney, The combination is 7…2…4…5...8"

She quickly punched the combination into the keypad. The door opened soundlessly, and Sydney placed the bag in which she would place the statue on the ground, near the door. As soon as Sydney entered the room, a feeling of dread overcame her. "Dad…something's wrong." Sydney started to feel dizzy, her limbs going stiff on her. She couldn't control her fall, as her head hit the hard floor with a sickening thud. The room must be have been filled with gas. Before she passed out, she saw Anna Espinoza's face, covered in a breathing mask, her maniac laugh filling the room. And then there was darkness.

*"Good Afternoon. My name is Tatyana Grigoevna. I am here to appraise the property."

** "Follow me"
