*** Chapter 1
The clanking of gears shifting causing the bars to rise could be heard throughout the building. Slow footsteps made their way toward the cell where the beast was held.
Irina stood behind the glass with her arms crossed across her chest. Her eyes showed lack of sleep, due to the uncomfortable cot that the CIA was kind enough to provide, but she stood her ground, not willing to show any unwanted emotion.
Jack stood directly in front of her, taking in her appearance before stating why he was there.
"There seems to be a hacker working quickly on various systems that are vital to all CIA operations and we have reason to believe that this hacker once worked or still works for you. Now, you're not expected to admit to anything because I know that you wouldn't, but if this situation continues to progress, every agent including Sydney, will be put in grave danger."
Up until this point Irina had been staring at the wall behind Jack trying to avoid any eye contact whatsoever. At the sound of Sydney's name however, her attention was quickly pulled to Jack.
"There is only one person that I know of that is able to pull off something as big as this, but you won't be able to find her."
Jack sighed, "Any help would be appreciated, Irina. There has to be something you know."
Her eyes narrowed, "Doesn't the CIA have teams that can find out who's doing this and search them out?"
"We have ideas of where the hacker may be, but we can't move without solid information. Like I said, chances are that you have a hand in this."
Irina shook her head and began to rub her tired eyes.
"I know who and where she is, but I'm not going to tell you. She doesn't mean any harm, she does this type of stuff for fun when she's bored and has nothing else to do."
Jack clenched his jaw and began pacing, he knew yelling and arguing wouldn't get anyone anywhere, especially with this woman.
"Jack what has she been doing? No, wait I can probably guess. Re-arranging all the files in alphabetical order by first name instead of last, possibly going as far as changing names completely. Trust me, she will have them back in order by later tonight along with a comical message."
He stopped dead in his tracks. "Do you know what she could do with all this information!? She could be making a hefty profit selling everything she has on us, the addresses of agents, relatives, this very building, all of it is vulnerable right now and all you can say is it's fun and games!"
She almost felt sorry for him, but that inkling soon left when she got an idea.
"Jack, if everything is not back in order by tonight, then something probably went wrong. Therefore, I will tell you everything about her that you want to know, who she is, where she is, everything."
"What's the catch," he asked, knowing there would have to be one.
"I get to go with you and you promise to not hurt her."
She was surprised to hear the foreign sound of laughter coming from Jack. It's odd how he found humor in a serious statement but never laughs at anything else.
"Do you honestly think that Kendall would approve to release you for something as simple as capturing a hacker? I could go by myself and have the mission be a success."
"Have it your way, Jack." She just shrugged and began to walk toward the dreaded cot that taunted her every day and night.

Hours dragged on with no word from Jack or Sydney since the conversation earlier. Jack said he would return when everything was back in order later that night, if in fact that would happen. Although he was angry and skeptical, he also said he would see what he could do about getting Irina out of her cell for a short mission.
Just as she was beginning to fall asleep, heels on the concrete floor could be heard working their way toward her.
Sydney stood on the other side of the glass with a piece of paper in her hand. She tapped on the glass and Irina, moving like a feline, made her way toward the glass once again.
"You haven't been here in a while. What's the occasion?"
There was a look of remorse that fell on Sydney's features. "I'm sorry about that, it's just things have been hectic around here lately. But we got a message."
Sliding the piece of paper through the grating, she gave it to Irina to read.
/Sorry about this, I just love tormenting people, especially the higher ups. Serves you right, you need a little wake up call once in a while.
Hershey Kiss/
Irina smiled, "That's her all right. Told you it was nothing to worry about."
Syd nodded, "We're still going to check it out though. If you co-operate and tell us what you know, Kendall has agreed to let you out. Dad and I will be there and you will have the necklace made of C-4 on as well, so you can't run on us."
"Can't say I didn't expect those precautions to be made, but nothing will happen so I don't think I need to be worried."
Sydney smirked, "Let's hope nothing will happen. So where are we off to?"
"The small city of Scranton, Pennsylvania."
Sydney's eyebrows rose in question.
"She's there. It's where I left her." Irina pulled her hair back and Sydney placed the necklace around her mother's neck. Now they had to wait for Jack and a few guards to escort Irina outside.
**** A/N: I know there aren't missions in the U.S. but this is my story and anything can happen : ) Please R&R so I know if I should continue with this. Updates will be slow because of school, but when I have the time, I will work on it.
