"Weiss, what happened?!" Kendall yelled at him hours later. It had been awhile since Mira and Riley landed in the the time machine and disappeared. Kenneth and Sark were already in custody, but two of the CIA's agents were missing.
"By the time I got into the warehouse, they were gone. But the machine was still there." he tried to explain.
"They went back in time." said a familiar female voice.
"Ahh, Irina Derevko. Never thought I'd see you here again." Kendall said to her.
She gave him a quick smile, "Jack filled me in on what happened to Mira and Riley."
"Yes, well we're doing all we can to try and bring them back."
"So, yelling at Agent Weiss is helping in your effort of getting them back?"
"Tell us, Irina, what exactly does that machine do?"
"There's only ONE way to get those two back. They can only come back once ONE of their desires is fulfilled. My guess is, it`ll be Mira's."
"And, what exactly IS Mira's desire?" Kendall asked her a little rudely.
"To meet her parents." Weiss filled in.
"What?!" Kendall wasn't used to so much personalization in the business of the CIA. But, these were the Bristows he was dealing with. EVERYTHING in the CIA with them is personal.
"Mira knows the rules. Even if she DOES meet her parents, she can't reveal herself to them."
"And, why not? She's their daughter. They have a right to see her."
"If she does, history will be altered. It effects EVERYONE who's in her parents' circle. Including YOU, Mr.Kendall. For all we know, you probably wouldn't be alive if she reveals herself."
"Will we know WHERE in time she is?" Weiss asked.
"It's on the same day as the present. Just a different year. So, wherever she is, the date is STILL the 15th."
"Wait, the 15th of May?" Jack asked.
"Yes, why?"
"That's three days before Sydney and Vaughn were killed."
------------------------------
The flash of light had been so bright, Mira and Riley didn't know where they were, or what had happened. They suddenly appeared in the back of an alley.
"Where are we?" Mira asked Riley.
"I have no idea. But, I don't think we're in Madrid anymore." Mira looked around. The place seemed oddly familiar.
"Wait a minute," she said as she finished looking around.
"What?"
"We're back in LA!"
"How?!"
"I don't know." Mira and Riley took a good look at themselves. Mira was still in her disguise, which wasn't so bad. But, Riley looked like he just came out of a war.
"We need to change."
"Yes, we do."
"We're near my place. Maybe I can get you something in one of the stores nearby." Riley followed Mira to her apartment, hoping no one would look at him oddly. But, once she arrived at her apartment, someone else was there!!! They ducked behind a wall, so they weren't seen.
"Are you sure we're at the right apartment?" Riley whispered to her.
"Yes, I'm sure." They observed another woman enter Mira's apartment. When the door opened, Mira got a good look at the calendar on the side of the fridge.
"Oh God, Riley." Mira began.
"What?"
"We went BACK IN TIME!!!" It all came back to her. Kenneth had put in the past chip in the machine just as he was about to "test" it. But, when Mira and Riley landed in the machine, it brought them back in time. Mira soon realized where in time they were. The year her life changed. She was in the year that her parents were killed.
"C`mon, Riley. Let's go before someone sees us." she said, sounding a little sad.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Let's go." They began to walk around, and for awhile Mira didn't say anything. The silence was killing Riley, so he broke it.
"Okay, really, what happened to you?"
"I just realized where we are in time."
"Where?"
"I am currently 6 years old. It's the year my parents died."
"Oh." he didn't know what to say.
"To make things worse, today's the 15th. That's 3 days before my parents were killed."
"So what should we do now?" he tried to change the subject.
"I have some money. Maybe we can buy ourselves a suit, and go to work. Like normal people."
"Weiss, what happened?!" Kendall yelled at him hours later. It had been awhile since Mira and Riley landed in the the time machine and disappeared. Kenneth and Sark were already in custody, but two of the CIA's agents were missing.
