Chapter 1: Mission Statement

It was a Tuesday morning and Sydney was in a meeting at the CIA ops center with her father, Kendall, and Vaughn. Two manila folders were tossed across the table, one landing in front of Sydney and the other in front of Vaughn. "Agent Bristow, Agent Vaughn. You two will be infiltrating this K- Directorate building in Turkey. You are to retrieve a document from the safe there." Kendall explained as the two agents flipped through the information provided in the folders.

"What are the documents?" Sydney asked with a puzzled look on her face.

"They are part of the Rambaldi puzzle. Now that isn't the whole mission though. As we all know Rambaldi has weird things about his artifacts and papers. This paper in particular won't do any good with out decoder. The text is in Rambaldi's own language or symbols. Our tech guys won't be able to figure it out."

"And so what are we supposed to do?" Vaughn asked, getting impatient.

"Before Rambaldi died he wrote himself brainteasers. These don't give away his writing code but instead were used as a reminder of what he had for the code. They share some connection with the code. Once you get the document in Turkey, you will travel to France to retrieve these codes."

"Where are the codes stored? Why haven't other people discovered them?" Sydney asked.

"They are engraved in a picture frame. This frame will be at an art auction in a small town outside of Paris, France. The frame is far to large to steal and get away quickly, therefore you will be buying the painting."

"How will we know which one it is?" Vaughn intrigued.

That's when Jack stepped in to explain. "I talked to Sloane. He also knows of this decoder method Rambaldi left behind. He got Intel from a reliable source of the Alliance that the painting inside the frame is "Japanese Footbridge" by Monet. You are to under no circumstances let someone else win this item. The CIA will give you plenty of money. If the money is not enough you will be given an account number. Call the CIA and we will falsely invest money into the account. By the time they figure the money isn't really there you will be long gone."

"Sounds fun!" Vaughn said enthusiastically.

Sydney looked at him and smiled, "When do we leave?"

"Late tonight. Plane leaves at 11:00pm. Due to the two missions we need them to be done quite close together so you can get the Intel before sd6. You will be flying together yet not sitting together while leaving LA. You will also be flying together from Turkey to France and there you can sit together and discuss plans. Returning home though you will fly separately the first person brings the Intel. Work quickly; sd6 can't get their hands on this Intel.and oh, Sydney I'll cover for your absence at sd6."

"Ok!" they both said.

"You will return on Friday. Your mission in Turkey will be a take and run. The extra days will be to set up your cover in France. The art auction is on Thursday. You will get the piece and leave Friday, late morning."

Both nodded.

The room cleared out but syd and Vaughn stayed behind.

It stayed silent for a bit but then Syd broke the silence, "So if I'm correct we are posing as a couple on their honeymoon?"

Vaughn looked down at the ground and back up, "Yeah it appears so." He smiled, kind of half-heartedly at first. Once Sydney returned the smile he let his grow more genuine.

"You think you're up for another field op after Taipei" Syd said questioningly, and sarcastically.

Vaughn chuckled, "I think I can handle it, with your help."

Syd smiled, "You got it." That was followed by a spell of silence finally syd spoke up again. "Well, I better get home. I need to come up with an excuse for Francie and pack."

"Yeah, of course. Well.um.I'll see you in Turkey."

Sydney nodded and exited the room. Vaughn followed. When he reached the doorframe he just stood in it watching Syd walk away.

Vaughn stayed at work for a couple more hours. Around 3:00 he went home and packed. All day he didn't get much work done all he could think about was what this mission would bring. How lucky he was to being not only working with syd but also undercover as her husband! Wow! I think I could get used to that! He thought to himself.

After Sydney had left the CIA she went to SD6 for a while. Sloane didn't give her a mission or more work. She finished up her paperwork and then left for the afternoon. She picked up some lunch on the way home. She figured maybe bringing food would make Francie less mad about her last minute trip.
