Chapter 9
Part 1
Three months into the investigation of Sydney Bristow's death, tempers were running short. People were tired of Jack Bristow yelling at them for not getting information to him fast enough.
Jack was getting more and more frustrated at the interference he was getting from the NSC. He was having daily altercations with their liaison, Robert Lindsey. Not only would he accuse Lindsey of interfering with his investigation, but he also accused him of sabotaging it.
There was more than one occasion when Kendall could tell that Jack was on the verge of physically assaulting Lindsey, and he would step between the two men.
Kendall tried to convince Jack that he needed to be more diplomatic when he was dealing with Lindsey. Jack told him that he didn't have the patience or time to be diplomatic.
When the CIA started to question Jack's multiple overseas flights, Jack made arrangement to pay for his own transportation and expenses as long as he had their backing. Kendall agreed to it as long as Jack was supplying them with information that the CIA could use on other cases.
Even this didn't seem to satisfy Robert Lindsey. Jack was bringing back valuable information, but Lindsey wanted to know who his sources were. Jack refused to give him the information he wanted.
Four months into the investigation of Sydney's death, Jack returned from a two week mission. He gave the CIA and NSC intelligence on the people responsible for the bombing of a pharmaceutical plant in Kenya, but he refused to them where he got the information.
Robert Lindsey approached him while, he was talking to Kendall. Lindsey demand to know how he found out the information. Once again Jack refused to tell him.
"The rumor," Lindsey said, "is that you've been in contact with your ex- wife. If I find out that you're harboring an international terrorist, you will pay the price..."
Jack stood a foot taller than Lindsey and there was no mistaking the fear in Lindsey's eyes when Jack moved within a hair of his face. Towering over him Jack calmly said, "Let me make this perfectly clear to you. I have sacrificed my whole life for this Agency. I gave them my daughter. This Agency owes me. If you do anything to impede my investigation into Sydney's death, then I will kill you."
Jack stepped back and just before walking away, he told Lindsey, "And Mr. Lindsey, every person in this room will confirm for you that when I say 'I will kill you', that it is not just an idle threat. I will kill you."
He then turned and walked away, leaving Robert Lindsay to wipe the sweat off his brow and while doing so he promised himself that if it was the last thing that he ever did, he would bring Jack Bristow to his knees.
