The APO team stared dumbfounded at the screen, which long ago had gone blank. No one dared to speak because everyone was at a complete loss of words. What can someone say to see your entire adult like on screen as a television program? What was going on? Not one of them believed in things like it but it seemed like they were in some sort of alternate universe…where they only existed on screen.

"What are we going to do…it has to be fake right?" asked a nervous Nadia.
"If it were fake how would they get all of those things on tape and repeat them exactly as they happened?" Sydney pointed out.
"Our first priority is to find out who that is and get her down here ASAP. It would seem, as our only way to do that would be to do this is to study the video. Any other suggestions?" Jack said in his best commanding voce even though underneath his calm, cool, and collected appearance he was just as nervous as everybody else.
"Well Jack…or um Mr. Bristow…what do you want me to call you…um never mind…if I may…. may I…um I noticed in this corner…over here" Marshal nervously says while gesturing to a part of the room, "a stack of papers and if I zoom in they are school report cards for a Mary Lorraine Maleski…and if I say so myself quite impressive…straight A's! Looks like a smart one…oh um you don't care but I ran a trace on her while you guys were talking and found out they she is the girl in the video and lives in Kansas City, Kansas with her Father. I can get an in depth analysis if you want?" Marshal finished.
"You do that…everybody else be prepared to leave for the Midwest in 2 hours. I will be in my office. Meeting over," Jack walked out of the room followed by every one else leaving Marshal to start the report.

"Oh my God, Vaughn, this is huge! If we find this girl and it is all real…how will we get back to where we belong? And how did we get here anyway? Is it like some sort of alternate reality or something?" Sydney frantically asked the person she loves.

"Sydney, calm down, and no I do not know the answers to any of your questions but I do know this it doesn't matter where we are as long as we have each other than we can be anywhere…and to help a little Marshal is working on it and we can always count on Marshal," Vaughn assured as he rubbed her arms to help ease her troubled mind.

Two hours latter they were sitting on a plane headed for Kansas. The team was reading through Marshals report on this only 15 year old girl who was in the tape. So far the profile was amazing. She got straight A's-with the best grades in her class. Not only that but she played tons of sports, volunteered to help the homeless, and competed in tons of academic contests and won. She was, as far as the profile could see, an amazing person…almost perfect…as far as they could tell. Only Sydney believed that something had to be bad somewhere…and she wanted to find it.

After the plane ride she drove to where Mary Lorraine was said to live and there they saw her. She seemed to be practicing gymnastics on a beam in the yard. She would do flips over and over. Until she saw they get tout of the car she stopped.
"Mary Lorraine Maleski?" Sydney said to her to be sure of her identity.
"Yes…Jennifer Garner? Oh my God I am such a huge fan! I love ALIAS so much….and oh my god the whole cast is here! Michael Vartan, Victor Garber…" she excitedly listed as she saw them.
"I don't know who you think we are but you need to come with us…" Jack said to her.
"What I can't…you are strangers…." The team of APO know what they need to do and grabbed her and put her in the car…now putting kidnapping against them.
