Kendall stood up straight, as Jack sighed and looked at him saying, 'Is this the right thing to do?' Kendall didn't respone. He hoped to god it was the right thing to do. By his side were Dixon and Michael, prepared for anything at that moment. The doors opened and in walked about five armed Marshals. They stood in front while other armed Marshals had their guns trained on two people whose heads were covered. leading them into the breifing room, Kendall, Jack, Dixon, Eric, Nadia and Michael all filed in after them and took a seat. one of the Marshals took off the masks on the two people to reveal Sydney Bristow and Julian Sark.

"Welcome," Kendall greeted, "To the CIA."

Julian looked around and nodded his head. "Very nice."

Sydney looked at her father and Michael. "I suppose we'll be working together?"

Kendall nodded. "yes."

"Good." sydney pulled out her files and threw them across the desk. "The person who shot me, is Irina Derevko."

"We know that already," Nadia said.

"Yes…but what you don't know is that she is my mother."

Nadia's face paled a little, and she looked at Jack. "How do you know that?" he asked.

"Through photos," Julian said. "You know…edivence."

Everyone exchanged looks. "Well," Michael finally said. "We have news for you."

He skid the files across the table towards Sydney, who grabbed them and looked through it. "What am I looking at?"

"DNA," Michael said. "We did a DNA scan on the woman found dead in your house." Michael stopped to make sure Sydney was looking at him and paying attention. "The woman in your house was not Franice Calfo."

"Really?" Julian said. "Then who exacly was she?"

"Alison Doran," Jack answered. "We looked futher into it and saw that she volunteered for an exiperment called Project Helix. It's where they take someones DNA and basically double the person."

"So, if that wasn't Franice…not really," Sydney said, "Then where is she? And where is Will?"

"We have them in protective custody," Michael answered. "That's why I was so shocked when you said they were dead, because it didn't make sense. I went to see them convinced them to go into P.C."

"SD-6 must've sent someone there to kill your friends, and frame Vaughn and the CIA for it," Dixon added.

Sydney nodded, taking in the information. She reached into her file again and pulled out a picture and put it in the middle of the table.

"What's this?" Kendall asked

"The woman who attacked us," Sydney answered. "Who Sloane and my mother hired to kill Julian and I. Anne Espinosa."

"Former KGB?" Eric asked

Julian nodded. "Yes. She and Irina know each other…well."

Eric looked around the room at everyone. "Ok…so what's the plan?"

Kendall stood up and paced the room. "So, we know that Sloane, Anna and Irina are working together. But to do what?"

"Bring Rabamldi's endgame to…an end. To find out what it is," Sydney answered.

"But, do they have all the artifacts?" Dixon asked.

"Of course they do," Nadia said. Then she looked over at Julian and Sydney. "Thanks to those two."

"Okay," Kendall finally said. "Agent Bristow and Sark, we need you to go to our med lab to get your DNA and blood work done, make sure you are you are. I can't afford any of this to be blow outta the water now. While doing that, Agent Weiss will brief you. You will report to our tech op and get the low down, then meet with Agent Vaughn and I to getthe mission. Once we know the location of Sloane and Irina, we will be moving in."

Michael walked up to Sydney. "Hey, Sydney." He grabbed her arm and took her aside.

"What is it?" she asked.

Michael swallowed. "Listen, about your mother…"

Sydney waved her hand. "Don't worry about it. She's not the only person I discovered the truth about."

Michael sighed and looked down. "Look, Syd, I wanted to tell you. So badly. It was killing me having to lie to you like that." He looked back up at her. "And when I discovered that you worked for Sloane, my heart broke even more because I knew that you were a part of something that you had no idea you were a part of." Michael sighed again. "Look, I don't know what you and Julian had, or have, butI don't want us not to be together because of this.I don't think…"

Sydney grabbed Michael and kissed him, craving his love and lust all at once. When the kiss ended, Michael blinked and looked at Sydney. "Ok, well…uh…I wasn't expecting that."

Sydney smiled at him. "I know you mean well. When Marshall brought us Irina Derevko's file, he also brought Alison Doran's."

Michael blinked again. "So…you knew?" Sydney nodded, and Michael smiled. "Good….who's Marshall?"

Sydney rolled her eyes. "Long story…"

"He's your tech op guy?"

Sydney blinked. "Well…maybe notthat long…"

Michael kissed her softly. "I'll see you when you're done."

Sydney smiled at him. "Okay."

As Sydney began walking away, Michael called out, "So does this mean we're back together?"

Sydney didn't answer though, only smiled as she went through the med lab doors. Michael smiled to himself. Yep, I guess it does.
