A/N: Ok I'm back and with chap 22 if you can believe that! Nothing to do and a boring night is my inspiration for updating (just kidding!!). No, I just LOVE the reviews I'm getting! Keep them coming! Hopefully you will like this chapter. I finished the Lullaby's lyrics, so from 22 on, the titles will be what the chapter is about.
Melanie felt like time had stopped. Molly was lying. There was no other explanation for why she had just said what she said. She was afraid because of all the things that were going on, and they were going too fast that she was simply afraid, therefore giving her reason to lie.
But the scary part was, Melanie knew she wasn't lying. The look on her twin sister's face gave that away. That look of guilt, and fear of what would happen next. Melanie wanted to hurt her. Not kill her, but hurt her enough that she'd get the message that betraying people she loved and cared about wasn't something she had to keep secret. Why was it even a secret anyway? She shouldn't even be working for the Covenant in the first place so there wouldn't be a secret to keep!
Melanie looked into her mother and father's faces. Her daddy looked utterly confused, and Sydney looked like she was being betrayed (which she basically was).
Before anyone knew what happened next, Molly suddenly jumped in the air, turned in midair, and kicked them all to the ground, including Melanie and Weiss. She wiped her tears away viciously and, to Melanie's horror, put her hand to her ear, where Melanie could now clearly see a comm.
"Mad Hatter, prepare for extraction!" Molly said, her voice still shaky from the fake tears.
"Mommy, what's happening?" Melanie cried to Sydney. She was going blind; she couldn't see a thing. She was going blind. Was she dying? She was rising from the floor; her arm muscles were suddenly becoming weak, but she was still being raised up from the ground. Was she an angel now? She was weak as hell, but she was moving. She couldn't see a thing. She tried to talk, but couldn't do that either. She was vaguely aware of Sydney and Vaughn screaming, "Melanie! Melanie come back!"
That confirmed it. She was dead. Huh. Maybe death wasn't such a bad thing. She could still think, she could still hear what was going on around her. But then she heard more voices. These voices were much closer than her mommy's voice.
"Get her secure!" a familiar voice ordered someone. Melanie's world came crashing in on her at that second. She wasn't dead. She had been recaptured.

"Sydney! Mike! Oh god, are you ok?" Weiss called out fearfully.
"Yeah! Yeah, we're ok Eric." Sydney said, although she was lying. She had just seen the daughter she hadn't seen in six years betray her and Vaughn, and Melanie for that matter, and had seen her call into the Covenant, and at that precise moment, Covenant agents burst into the house, blindfolded Melanie, stuffed a gag into her mouth, and had taken her away for the third time.
"Mike? Are you ok?" Weiss asked, his voice dripping with concern.
"Oh yeah, I'm great!" Vaughn said sarcastically. He winced as he accidentally leaned against one of the many bruises the Covenant had decided to give him as a souvenir of his captivity.
"Mike, you really need to see a doctor." Weiss pointed out, giving him his I-mean-business look.
"No, what I need is to find my daughters. This is the second time this has happened to me, and once I find them, they will be going into protective custody, where they will do nothing but stay indoors!" Vaughn said, although Sydney wasn't sure whether or not he was joking.
"It's three in the morning Vaughn. There isn't nothing much we can do until eight, where normal people will be getting into the office to sort this out. If we don't get rest now, we'll regret it later, especially if Dixon sends us on another one of his endless missions. We need 100% of our brains, not 2%." Weiss said.
"Eric, we're not in any state of mind to drive." Sydney told him.
"Yes I know. That's why you're sleeping here, and I don't want you two staying up until I wake up, thinking about Melanie and Molly. That will do nothing for you but put you in a dangerous state of mind. That's why you'll be listening to this." Weiss said, and showed them a CD of Mozart.
"What the hell's this?" Vaughn asked incredulously.
"It's a CD of Mozart music, but it also has a little soother planted in there that will strike at the part of your brain that makes you sleep, and it put you to sleep until 6:30." Weiss explained.
"Where did you get this?" Sydney asked.
"Can't tell you. Now, get into bed." Weiss ordered. They did and Weiss slipped the CD in and they were instantly in dream mode.

"Sorry for such drastic measures, but it's not like we can try to brainwash you. Thanks to your sister, we now know that if we did, we'd basically be wasting our resources. So now...we have to refer to...different tactics." Sark said, smiling coyly.
"Go to Hell!" Melanie spat. She would've punched him, but she was handcuffed to the chair.
"Now, now Melanie. No need for bad language. All I want you to do is agree to help us." Sark said.
"With what? Need help planning your funeral?" Melanie said, then laughed in spite of herself.
"Listen here girl. You will help us, if it costs your mother and father their lives. You wouldn't want that now would you? To have that hanging over your head for the rest of your life." Sark said.
Melanie knew he was blackmailing her, but it didn't change the fact that she knew they'd go through with it if Melanie kept up her Go To Hell routine.
"Fine. But you had better leave them alone." Melanie snarled. Sark smiled.
"There's the girl I remember. Listen, you're going to be going with Molly to Australia. The last Rimbaldi device that isn't in anybody's possession is there, and we drastically need it. If we act fast, we can get their hours before the CIA. We need that device." Sark told her.
"What for?" Melanie asked, trying to sound intrique.
"Can't tell you, but you'll know soon enough." Sark said. Melanie noticed he wasn't moving to undo her handcuffs.
After a while, Molly came into the room, followed by Cole. "We're ready." Molly said, looking into Melanie's eyes and smirking. Melanie scowled, hating her twin sister as much as she had loved her an hour earlier.
As soon as Sark heard that, he unlocked the handcuffs. Molly and Cole walked out towards the van, and Melanie was followed by Sark. They all got in the van, where Molly and Sark watched Melanie to the point of feeling insecure.
When they were finally in Australia Molly and Melanie got out of the van. Molly handed her a gun and said, "It only has two shots. They are going to be needed to kill the guards. You get any ideas, the Cole and Sark will give the snipers their cue to shoot you. So be careful." Molly hissed.
Molly turned around and Melanie secretly flicked her off. Why were all these things happening to their family? She wanted to shoot Molly, but there was always the chance she could de-brainwashed and live with her real family.
"The device is in a large janitor's closet. The people who put it there knew no one would think to look there, so they put it there. I'll get the device, you shoot all the guards that come this way." Molly ordered evilly.
Melanie nodded, resisting the urge to punch her sister. Thankfully, no one came their way. It was easy. Too easy. As soon as they got back in the airplane Sark took the device from Molly.
"You might want to get some sleep." Molly laughed to her sister.
"Why?" Melanie asked, not being able to help but sound a little bit scared. Molly smirked.
"Oh you'll find out soon enough. And when you do, you'll wish you didn't know." she said.
Melanie knew she was right. She fell asleep and no sooner did she fall asleep, but she was yanked upright and held up by Cole and Molly and Sark opened the device to reveal a small opening that could fit a little kid's head in.
"Guess what you get to do Melanie?" he asked, showing her his biggest smirk yet.
"What?" Melanie snapped.
"You get to go into the very brain of Rimbaldi himself." Sark said and opened the thing a little wider and Cole pushed her head inside the device.
