Agent Bristow?

Yes?

Your father's case had been immediately closed with no penalty or restrictions against him.

What? How is that possible? The trial was supposed to be starting in a few minutes.

I don't know the details; you'll have to ask your father. He's being released as we speak.

****

Dad, what happened? You're cleared?!?

Apparently, Agent Peterson decided that I wasn't a rogue agent and that I was only concerned with finding my daughter, which was in case the truth.

Does he have the authority to do that? Why would he do that?

It seems so. I think that someone found blackmail on him, and threatened him if I wasn't cleared.

Who do you think it was?

Your mother. Look before you say anything Sydney. I know of all people I shouldn't be defending her, but there are things you don't know about. Nothing is as it seems.

What the hell are you talking about? Irina Derevko was done nothing but cause pain and betrayal..How can you even stand up for her after everything she's done to you, to us?

Look, when you left, I was..

Ms. Bristow, Agent Vaughn is on the phone for you. He says it's urgent.

**** Vaughn, what's going on??
