"He's become what, dad?" Sydney prompted.

Jack finally caved into the pleading look in Sydney's eyes, and replied, "Depressed." Then, turning on his heels, Jack Bristow left Sydney in an even worse state than he had found her in.

Sydney, not believing the news, ran to the phone to call Vaughn, or even Weiss. Then, a thought crossed her mind.
