Chapter 23

"What do you mean where do we start?"

"Sydney, do you think I'm going to let you go through by yourself. Me, you father, your sister we're all going to help" Irina said

"Mom your not in intelligence. Your haven't been in it for over 8 years. You have no contacts, no basis in this office. What can you do?"

"I may of being out, but you never lose the skills or really lose your connections. And anyway your talking to your mother her. Ex-terrorist leader "The Man". I know more about the inner workings of terrorist organisations about most of these people together. Our family has enough experience to handle anything. You and Jack as Double Agents. Nadia's years with Argentina Intelligence and the C.I.A. #And hard for me to say. But yours and Nadia's Project Christmas training. We need to get back to basics. The family together, going through ever lead no matter how small, till we find these scum, erase them. So you and Laura can go back to your normal lives."

"Honey, you mother is right. We do need to go back to the start. Start with the people you work with at the school, or even God forbid this people from here. Your old contacts, anyone at Laura's school. Anyone who could happen to know about the prophecy. Any motives why they could be doing this, the means of doing it. It all needs to be looked at." Jack said, backing up Irina's point of view.

"I don't believe that someone from here. Someone I know could be working for someone else, or just plain hunting me down for the own gain."

"Sydney, you should know more than anyone, what people are capable of doing. To be one thing on the outside and on the inside someone totally different. Would you of though at one time that Lauren was the person she turned out to be. So please sweetheart, sit down, make a list, think about anyone who could possible know about you or even about Rambaldi." Jack said trying to knock her out of unbelieving thoughts.

"I can't think."

"Sydney, you can. You've got Laura to protect, so you have to do this."

"What are you going to Dad, how are you going to help me?"

"I've got a few contacts, which maybe helpful. I'm going to get in touch see if they can bring some light on this"

"What about you Mom?"

"I'm going to see my sisters. They've known about you for a long time, so god knows, who they might of told about this. I know they're not your favourite people Sydney but there worth a shot" Irina said, her eyes looking straight into Sydney's"

"Then my decision about the person, I'm going to see may be controversial then." Nadia said jumping. "I'm sorry Sydney, I'm going to see my Father."

"Nadia, it's fine. I'm not blind, I know he will be of some help, so you have my blessing if you need it."

Sydney surveyed the group around her, her sprits bolstered by her family. With these words coming out of her mouth.

"What are you still doing here. Lets get this thing started."
