Our Juliet

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters of Alias, only Juliet and the Viands.

Ch. 1

"Who is she Marshall?" asked Michael Vaughn after viewing a tape of a very agile young woman, fight her way through a crowd of people with the skills of a ninja and capture the nuclear power supply.

"We don't really know," said Marshall Flinkman adverting his eyes from Vaughn's steady gaze. "Yet that is."

"What do you mean?" asked Sydney Bristow.

" We have yet to discover her real identity, all we've found is two aliases. The first was Daria Huntley and the second and believed current is Adriana Greene," replied Marshall.

"Is there any idea how old she is?" inquired Nadia Santos as she leaned forwards resting her arms on the table in front of her. Marshall looked at Jack Bristow, who replied,

"We believe she is between 17 and 21."

"Is there any information on her background or who her employer is?" asked Sydney.

"That information, we do have," said Jack. "She works as a freelance bounty hunter. And is currently employed by a group known as the Viands. Adrianna as we shall call her, was raised by a nanny in Vienna, Austria; and then one day she ran away and began as a street thief then she began to market her skills."

"What of her parents?" asked Vaughn.

"Unknown," said Arvin Sloane. "Presumably deceased. The nanny runs an orphanage of some sorts or academy where she educates the children and teens who come there with skills to make it on their own."

"A team of six will investigate," said Jack. "You will be using your real names for this mission as to draw less suspicion. Nadia and Weiss will be posing as a couple looking to adopt. Sydney and Vaughn will pose as a couple trying to relocate their daughter. Marshall will be keeping base at the Hotel Vientre, and Dixon will be doing discreet grunt work with out trying to stir up too much trouble finding information about the Viands."

"Is Adrianna to be our daughter?" inquired Vaughn.

"Precisely," said Sloane as he handed each of them a file as he said, "This is a file on Adrianna Greene, which encloses a detailed physical description and information to help you with the investigation. You will all regroup here at 0300 hours and depart at 0400. Dismissed."

"A word of caution, agents," said Jack. "She's quick with guns and handy with knives."

"What exactly is the mission?" asked Agent Eric Weiss.

"To gather information, detain and stop the Viands as well as Adrianna," said Sloane as-matter-of-factly.

"Okay," said Weiss uneasily.

As the last few agents were remaining, Vaughn spoke quickly as Marshall was gathering his equipment,

"Marshall, can you freeze frame and enlarge the picture of when she looked directly at the camera."

"Uh, sure Vaughn. I'll have it ready when we depart," replied Marshall.

"Is everything okay?" Sydney asked Vaughn as they walked to their cars.

"Yeah," said Vaughn. "There is just something about Adrianna's picture that is haunting."

"Familiar?" said Sydney, silently slipping her hand into his and giving it a squeeze."I felt it too."
