"So, the odds aren't too bad," Nadia was saying. "I mean, we saved Marshall, Will and Francie, and Sloane is out of action for good. I'd say we nailed them."

Sydney shook her head. "But my mother is still out there and Julian is missing."

Sitting in the briefing room, once more, Sydney looked around at her fellow agents and friends. Francie and Will were both sitting in the far corner of the room with a blank stare and confusion in their eyes. Kendall was sitting in his chair in deep thought, while Jack was sitting across from Michael and next to Nadia and Eric. Marshall had been taken to the medical ward and to undergo a full briefing from the CIA.

"If Irina has this weapon that Sloane and SD-6 were building," Kendall spoke up, "Then we need to assume the worst ... that Irina did escape and is planning to use it."

"But they never got the Rabamldi piece that Sloane demanded," Eric said. "So who's to say that this 'so called machine' even will work?"

"Who ever said that they needed the piece to make it work?" Jack pointed out.

"Now wait a second," Michael jumped in. "How do we even know that there is a machine? Or that Irina has it?"

"We assume that there is one," Kendall answered simply.

"Yes, but if there isn't, then we mine as well be chasing pixie dust," Michael shot back.

"Agent Vaughn is right," Nadia said. "If there truly is no machine, then we are making ourselves out to bigger targets."

"And it could be a cover for something that they are really doing," Eric finished.

"First of all, Irina Derevko was never considered a direct threat," Jack said. "We jumped to conclusions and assumed she was."

"Assumed?" Sydney said. "She shot me, and nearly killed my friends! Which part is she not considered an enemy?"

"The part where she didn't actually kill either of you!" Jack shot back.

"Well…she did run away," Kendall said softly, defeated

"Look," Michael said, "All this bickering and pointing fingers is getting us nowhere. We need solid proof that Irina Derevko has this weapon in her possession and that there actually is a weapon."

"And where she is," Nadia filled in. Michael nodded and looked around the room. He sighed when no one responded.

"How about that Barbie girl?" Francie said.

Everyone slowly turned their heads in Francie and Will's direction and Francie blushed quickly. "Sorry," she whispered.

"Who's Barbie?" Michael asked, confused.

Will shrugged. "That weird woman who kidnapped us."

"Anna?" Erik asked.

Sydney nodded her head as an idea came to mind. "Francie…that's good."

Nadia looked at Sydney, confused. "What?"

Sydney smiled at them. "Anna."

---------

Anna threw back her head again and chugged the glass of scotch. She sighed and threw the glass down. The bartender looked at her, disguised and when Anna made eye contact with him and sneered, he backed away. As Anna was reaching for another drink, a hand grabbed her from behind catching her hair and slammed her head hard against the bar. When the hand pulled her head back, Anna gasped as blood flowed freely from her nose. Sydney appeared behind Anna and smiled at her.

"Hi, remember me?" Sydney asked, smiling. "I'm the one you tried to kill."

Anna smiled slightly at Sydney and turned to see Michael sitting on the other side of her. "I think she might be a little pissed off," he whispered to her.

Anna rolled her eyes. "What do you want?"

"We want to know where my mother is," Sydney said.

"Yeah, right…"

Sydney grabbed Anna again and slammed her head onto the bar once again. Anna squinted her eyes and grunted in pain.

"Now," Sydney said. "Are you gonna help…" Michael pulled out his gun and hid it from the people in the bar using the right side of his body, and pressing the barrel into Anna's ribs. "Are do we have to shoot it out of ya?"

"Fine," Anna spat out. "I will tell you everything you want to know."

Sydney smiled at Michael who smiled back at her. "She's a good girl," Sydney commented.

"So, she's in the Cayman Islands," Kendall said. Both Sydney and Michael nodded. "Why?"

"Because," they heard a voice say. Julian walked in to the room. "That's the best place to hid a weapon like the one SD-6 built."

"A weapon built to do what?" Michael asked.

"From what I found out," Julian said. "It can kill everyone. Turn them into mindless zombies."

"Zombies?" Sydney echoed. "You've got to be kidding me."

"Why in the world would they want that?" Nadia questioned.

"Because, they could rule the world that way," Julian answered. "With the power to change destiny and the human free will and nature…they'd be unstoppable."

Sydney looked around the room. "Well then," she said. "I guess we'll be going to the Cayman's to stop Irina."
