Part 4: None of the Usual Methods Apply
Michael Vaughn stood over a strapped down and bleeding Koreshnokov when Jack Bristow stepped up to the 2-way mirror overlooking Koreshonokov's cell. Weiss, who had been watching for a while, didn't even look his way.
"He knows something" he told Jack quietly, exhaustion and worry clear in the lines of his body. "When Mike walked in the cell, his expression just shut down. Like he knew something had happened. He hasn't said a word no matter what Mike has tried."
Vaughn moved away from Koreshnokov and glanced over at the mirror. Jack saw his own worry and fear reflected on Vaughn's face as he paced the room.
Without a word, Jack stepped out of the observation room and into the interrogation room.
Koreshnokov actually whimpered when he saw Jack.
He shook violently, rattling but not dislodging the chair he was in. "No!" he yelled in deeply accented English. "You keep him away from me! I-I'll talk, but not if he's here!"
Vaughn ignored Koreshnokov and looked over at Jack. "We could've used you in here sooner, Jack."
Jack didn't respond but Vaughn stepped out of his way as he approached Koreshnokov, Koreshnokov yanking violently at his restraints the whole time.
Jack simply reached out and squeezed a pressure point in Koreshnokov's neck and his yelling cut off abruptly.
"You see Borov" Vaughn said grimly. "You don't get to set the rules here. You will tell us what you know about Sydney being taken and what you'll have to hope is not that I keep Jack Bristow away from you. But rather, that I don't leave you alone with him."
"Tell us what you know" Jack said calmly, withdrawing his hand.
Koreshnokov shuddered and then haltingly began to tell them everything he knew about the covenant and Sydney Bristow.
