Chapter 2 – Mistaken Identity
During my first year with SD-6 I was sent to Russia. A mission to infiltrate K-
Directorate.
I was still pretty much of a rookie but they consider me the best bet for the job. My ability with Russian being one of the reason spoken about.
I learnt many valuable lessons while I was there and meet one person their who has haunted me for ever since. Goading me about it every time we meet.
But that were was one moment during that mission. A moment that seemed insignificant until much later. When the truth came out.
A man one of the ever present bad guy. Made then what I thought was a throwaway comment about a woman. An ex major in the KGB that he had known.
He said that I had reminded him of her. I thought he meant her personality, a trait in character that we both shared.
But it wasn't that it was completely different.
I reminded him of that woman. Because that woman was my mother.
"How did a rabble rouser like you end up working in a corporate environment like K-Directorate? That would strike me as the last place you'd want to be?"
"A woman recruited me," he answered. "She was a major in the KGB."
"I didn't know women were allowed to reach that rank."
"They're not. She was an exception. She was …magnificent."
"What was so amazing about her?"
"She was one of the founding members o K-Directorate when we decided to go underground. Or rather, officially underground. She had bigger goals than any other members of the Duma. She wanted to unite all five Mafia organizations. Bring them under one roof. She could of done it to. She had the force of personality. She had the vision. But she got distracted."
"An obsession," he told her. "Over some philosopher's natiquites. She was conviced if she could out together all the pieces of some treasure hunt, she would…" He waved it away, as if too disappointed to go in. Instead her turned and looked her. "You know, you kind of reminded me of her."
"That's Sweet." Sydney replied. "I think"
I must or replayed that a hundred times in my head. A mention of my mother when I still thought she was Laura Bristow and she had died when she was six. And also the first mention of Rambaldi. The guy who was know a ban of her existence.
But this was not the only time that people had inclinations about it. During the rest of them intervening years before it came out it happened a couple of times. They didn't come out straight and say it. But Sydney saw it in their eyes.
Them looking at her and trying to place her face. Trying to figure out who she reminded them of.
But that was nothing. What was to come years down the line. That would change everything for good.
A:N: Just a legal note here. Has to be done. Don't want to get sued. The section above about the mention of Irina is not mine. But talking for Infiltration by Breen Frazier one of the Alias prequel novels. That bit was perfect for what I'm trying to do with this. So they're you go.
R:N: So second chapter in. What do you think? Come on read and review. Them reviews make me so happy!
