Prologue

She finally woke up in a bright place, a big city with lights so bright that you'd think it was daytime. She wandered for a few minutes, trying to figure out where she was. She was in Hong Kong. As if she had finally discovered where she was, and who she was, she found a nearby pay phone. She called somebody, anybody. Anybody who could tell her what happened, and why she was there.

"Dispatch," the operator said through the phone. There was a slight crackle, probably from the connection overseas.

"This is officer 2300844, calling for connection. Confirmation: looking glass," she said, repeating the things that had been drilled into her head.

"Standby."

"This is Kendall," a new voice came over the phone.

"I just woke up in Hong Kong. I.I don't know how long I've been her, or how I got here," there was silence on the other end. "Hello?"

"Get to our safe house in Tsimshatsui as soon as possible.you remember how to get there?"

"Of course I do."

"I'll make sure they're expecting you."

"Okay."

His tone was different. Sure, it was always the arrogant, bossy tone that the assistant director always used, but this time, it was different. It was.confused. Why would Kendall be confused? All she had done was checked in with the CIA, tried to let them know where she was, hoping that they'd be able to tell her what had happened to her, because she certainly didn't know.

She made it, eventually, and entered the safe house. She identified herself, and a man took her to a room. The safe house appeared to be a hotel, but with the CIA, you never knew.

"Have they said," she lost her voice halfway through her question and cleared her throat. "Have they said anything about how I got here? Do you know anything?

"They've asked you to wait for information until your contact arrives."

She nodded. She knew that they wouldn't tell her anything. She'd have to wait.

So she did. She waited. She waited until finally, the door opened and Vaughn, her guardian angel walked in.

She flew off the bed that she had been sitting on and hugged Vaughn. Vaughn looked confused, but she couldn't explain why he was confused for the life of her.

"They doubled Francie," she said breathlessly, as if she couldn't believe it herself.

"I know," his tone was neutral.

"What happened to Will, to Francie? Are they dead?"

"Syd, what are you talking about?" he asked. Now he really looked confused. She just couldn't explain why.

"Vaughn.why are you wearing that ring?" Now she was the one who was confused.

"Sydney? You don't remember?"

"Remember what?"

He put his head in his hands. "Syd, we went to Santa Barbara two years ago, right after you killed Francie's double, remember?"

"We already went to Santa Barbara? Vaughn, what year is it?"

"2005, why?"

"It's 2005? Vaughn, what's happening?"

"What? Syd, are you all right?"

"Vaughn, the last thing that I remember was killing Francie's double. I don't remember anything after that."

"Syd, you're supposed to be in France, hunting down Sloane. You left last week and didn't come back or make contact. Sydney, you worried us. Wait," he stopped in the middle of what he was saying. "You don't remember Santa Barbara? Or the wedding?"

"What wedding? Vaughn.you're not married, are you?"

"Sydney, we're married. We got married a year ago."

"Is Will okay?"

"Yes, he's fine. We found him shortly after we found you. You had fainted after killing Francie's double. We found Allison Doran's body in your apartment. It was a mess."

"I know," she said slowly, as if trying to remember. "I figured out that she was a double, and she started fighting with me."

"That's not what you told us, Sydney. You told us that you had figured out who the double was and."

"And what?"

"Never mind. It's not important right now. The important thing right now is getting you back to the CIA. Kendall's going mad. He doesn't know how you got here, Sloane just."

"Sloane just what?"

"Nothing. You'll find out later. All I was supposed to do was find you and find out what you were doing in Hong Kong. Come on, there's a plane waiting." "Vaughn.I." "Come on, Syd, let's just go home," he pulled her into a hug. When they pulled away, he wrapped an arm around her waist and led her to the plane.
