Before We Die
Disclaimer: I don't own Alias, just borrowing it! SO don't sue me! Thanks. lol
Outside the new APO (Authorised Personnel Only) Building, Sydney Bristow stood in front of a silver door, with her hand on the silver handle. How could she handle having Sloane as her boss? After everything he'd done, how could the CIA trust him? They wanted a 'real' SD-6, ha, well the certainly got one, the ex-head of SD-6 to be exact. If it were Syd's choice Sloane would have been jailed in a high security prison for the rest of his life. His obsession with rambaldi, who's to say it will never come back?
"So are you going in?" A familiar voice rang from behind her.
Vaughn seemed to be standing there for quite a while, watching Sydney in a trance-like state. He put a strong hand on her shoulder,
"I like this as much as you do" He whispered into her ear.
Even that slight gesture of hate towards Sloane made Syd feel a bit happier. She finally opened the door and together they walked in.
"Sydney, briefing in ten minutes, you too Vaughn." They were instructed briskly by Syd's dad Jack Bristow. Still with feeling of hate towards him, Sydney ignored him. How could Jack use her as project and hide it from her all these years. If it weren't for Lauren, she would never have known. She had trusted her dad on and off over the years, but she was never sure what to believe. Their eyes locked and Syd could see guilt and a thirst for forgiveness in Jack's eyes, he knew it would probably never happen.
When Syd and Vaughn got to the new office, Weiss, Dixon and Marshall were already sitting in the new couches. Sloane, as boss, stood beside a big screen ready to talk He looked old and sinister in a black suit with a black skivvi underneath. Vaughn shot Syd a meaningful look as Sloane started to talk.
"The K-Directorate have got their hands on one part of a highly explosive bomb" Sloane began, without any greeting.
"It is a carbon shelled spiky bomb with one single particle of menathanol in the core. But to activate the bomb they need one more element, a liquid called kut-blanc."
"Kut-blanc, isn't that stuff really rare?" Vaughn asked.
"Yes, there is only one vial of it in existence at the moment, which Mr Salt, a chemistry professor. But only one droplet of kut-blanc will detonate the bomb which will wipe out anything within five kilometres."
"Wow, that's powerful stuff." Weiss commented.
"Yes, So we must get the vial of kut-blanc before it gets in the hands of the K-Directorate. The trade will happen tomorrow night at 9:30 in a suave invite-only party in the Emerald Casino in LA." Sloane continued. "You…" he pointed at Syd and Vaughn, who looked back at him with expressionless faces. "…will be posing as "Mr and Mrs Rawson", owners of a high-profit law firm"
"So how exactly are we going to get into this invite-only party?" Syd asked, even though she knew how to get in, she wanted to take a dig at Sloane, but instead of an answer from Sloane, Marshall answered promptly.
"Ah…well of course! The guest list is on computerized database and all I had to do was hack into it and add a 'Mr and Mrs. Rawson' and all you guys will have to do is say to the door guy, 'Mr and Mrs Rawson' and smile and the door guy should say, 'ok your in.'"
"Thanks for the dialogue Marshall" Weiss laughed in the rather cold briefing this morning.
"No problem, anytime, anytime." Marshall replied.
"Right." Sloane commented "Back to the mission, there is a green door to the left of the general party room that I want Sydney to get into with Vaughn as back-up, you will report to Marshall in the Van. Dixon and Vaughn will create a diversion and that is when you will go to break into the electromagnetically locked door, Sydney, you can handle it right?"
"Yes, of course." Well duh, it was one of her special talents.
Sloane looked at Syd which Syd avoided by looking at a speck of dust on the coffee table, because in her opinion, that was what Sloane was, a creepy speck of dust.
"After you enter the room, follow Marshall's instructions, we're not sure what's actually in there, but were sure that's were the trade is going to happen."
"Are you done?" Syd asked.
"Yeah of course, but, Sydney, I did want to have a word or two with you." Sloane said, with a slight hesitation.
"Sorry, you're going to have to wait, I have a lot of work to do." With that, Syd walked off.
"You know I am your Boss." Sloane yelled after her. After everyone had left, Sloane and Jack talked in the room.
"So have you told Sydney yet?" Sloane begun.
"No, and I'm never planning to."
"And, Nadia?"
"Never." Jack ended, walking away.
Should I continue?
