Then after being debriefed for several days Sydney was finally reunited with her father.

" Hi, dad." Sydney said running to her dad and hugging him tightly as tears ran down her face. Instead of answering her Jack just held her close thankful that his eldest daughter was alright.

" Dad, what's going on? No ones told me anything?" Sydney asked once Jack had let her go.

" There are a couple of things that I need to tell you but this isn't the right place for that discussion. So how about I take home and we'll talk there, I have someone waiting there who wants to meet you, and another who wants to see you."

" Ok."

So together they left the JTF, heading for Jack's house. " Is it safe to talk in the car?"

" Yes, it is."

" So who's waiting to meet us back at your house?"

" Well Eric Weiss is there and the person I mentioned earlier."

Sighing " but who is this person?"

" You'll find out in 5 min."

When they got to his house they entered it, once inside they noticed a delicious smell coming from the kitchen so they went to investigate. When they reached the door to the large spacious kitchen they saw Eric setting the table while Anna was stirring the contents of a pot on the table. When Eric looked up he saw Sydney standing in the doorway so he dropped the knives and forks he was holding and held her in big bear hug, that she reciprocated.

" So Eric, is that your girlfriend?" Sydney asked in a teasing voice.

Both Anna and Eric looked at each other and then at Sydney and exclaimed " Hell No!"

Jack walked up to the group " I guess I better make some introductions. Sydney I'd like you to meet your sister Anna."

" Hi" Anna said as she stepped forward holding out her hand.

Sydney shook her hand politely and then turned to her dad " how can that be? I mean how come you never told me I had a sister?"

Anna decided to say something " I think I can explain that. But lets sit down to eat while we talk, before Eric starves to death."

" Hey I heard that!" he exclaimed.

" You were meant to, know help me but the food on the table." she said her voice boding no room for argument.

Once the group was seated and had started eating, " I guess I had better start at the beginning. I was born July 16 twenty - two years ago. My mother is Irina Derevko. When mom left the states she was obviously pregnant with me. Growing up I learned a lot, trained with the kids she was teaching how to be spies. I've been involved in this life style my entire life, mom never kept it a secret from me. I became a part of her organization at age 13, moved through ranks and up to being her 3rd in command at age 15."

" So you know Sark?" Sydney asked.

" Yeah, I guess you could say that. He was one of my best friends growing up, always there for me and overprotective as hell. I worked with mom until 3 years ago when I decided to leave Russia. I moved to the states after living here for 6 months I joined the CIA. Went through the Farm in record graduating at the top of my class. Then a year and a half ago I was transferred from the Langley field to the office here in L.A."

" The CIA let you join just like that? Aren't they concerned that you might be a security risk?"

" Syd calm down. Anna's a good person, even if she won't go on a date with me."

" Eric be quiet. You know damn well the two reasons for my not dating you, one I'm already seeing someone and two you're my best friend and dating you would be like being with a brother."

" Sydney your sister has proven her self in the time she's been in L.A. she is an excellent operative, and her past endeavors and the contacts she worked for your mother have been invaluable."

" So Irina just let you go knowing that you may betray her?"

" Mom knows I won't betray her where her organization is concerned, the CIA and I came to an understanding when I joined my past is just that. I would help them fight and bring down the Covenant but I wouldn't divulge information about mom's organization, the CIA agreed. End of story."
