Chapter 9

Disclaimer: I do not own ALIAS..don't sue me...this is all from my head based on my love for the show.

One thing about going to missions that involve parties is that she gets to wear really sexy and glamorous clothes, which gives her a little girly-thrill of playing dress-up, especially this current mission wherein she is with Vaughn and he looks so great in a tux.

They were looking like the sweet married French couple; they were in front of Gerodi Cirocco to introduce themselves as not to arouse suspicion, "How are you Mr. Cirocco, you are a great man for making this charitable event possible." Vaughn told their host in a very convincing French accent, "I am Jacques du Pointe and this is my wife Celeste."

The Italian did not suspect a thing, "I am happy that to meet you, Mr. du Pointe, I hope we can talk later."

"Of course."

Sydney and Vaughn situated themselves near the grand staircase, there had noticed there were no guards around, a first for missions involving retrieving top secret documents. "Base, we are in position."

"Copy that, Freelancer, you and Boy Scout may proceed as planned, no guard sightings in the second floor, cameras are clear to feed."

Vaughn turns to Sydney, "Before we do this, I got to tell you something."

Sydney looked at him, "What?"

"You look beautiful." Vaughn smiled at her.

Sydney rarely show any emotions that are not part of the act during missions, but for the first time ever she blushed and smiled back at Vaughn, "Thank you, you look great too."

"Guys, I know its such a couple thing to compliment each other's clothes during a date or a party or whatever, but as I keep reminding you guys, national security mean anything to you? You are making our team look bad in front of Jason," Weiss told them over the comm link.

Jason used his headphones to address to couple, "Guys, I think you should go upstairs, the guests are not really paying attention at the moment, and Freelancer open the camera Marshall placed in your necklace."

"Roger, camera is on."

"Image is clear, you are ready to roll."

Vaughn and Sydney inconspicuously made their way up to the second floor, after looking around the found themselves inside the second door to the left, just as the intel had pointed them to, while Weiss and Jason are monitoring their progress with the camera inside Sydney's necklace.

They found the safe behind a painting of Greek gods, Sydney poised the device that would find the code that would unlock the safe for them, when they hear Jason exclaiming in their ear. "Wait, do not open the safe."

Vaughn pressed the comm. link in his ear, "What's wrong?"

"Opening the safe would trigger a security system that would put bars inside the safe; you only have 5 seconds to disable it, if not automated rifles would come out and shoot anything with body heat. The security system needs to be disabled before opening the safe."

Sydney and Vaughn looked at each other, how did Jason know this? "Where did you get this information?"

Weiss who looked at Jason beside him, taking note of the urgency in his face as well as the hard look in his eyes, "I do not know where I got this information, all I know is that I have been in that room and a man is speaking in my head telling me these things."

Sydney thought for a moment, she knew it seemed odd that the security was a lacking in a house of an officer of the Covenant especially when this house is where the documents that would give their secrets are. She knew then that Jason was remembering something that really happened. Things are never this easy.

"Do you know where the failsafe is?" Sydney asked Jason over the comm. link. Vaughn looked at her ridiculously, she explained with her nod to him to trust her, which she was sure he would, just as she was sure to trust Jason Bourne.

Sydney does not know what the driving force behind the instant trust that she has for Jason Bourne, considering what she had been through in the issue of trust.

Jason closed his eyes and spoke through the comm. link, "Go to the book case on the right of the safe, on the second shelf, and pull out the hardbound book titled Greek Mythology, then open the safe."

Vaughn looked at Sydney, hoping that she is right to trust Bourne, before moving towards the bookcase and pulling the said book.

Noting there is no difference when the book was pulled, they only hope that it did not trigger a silent alarm. Sydney again put the device over the safe, which opened ten seconds later, and in the middle of the safe is a small chip, which Vaughn put into his pocket, they put everything back into place, before going down the stairs, joining the party without anyone knowing what happened. After a few minutes of walking around making it seem like they are mingling, only not talking to anyone, they slipped out and headed towards the pick up point.

"Object retrieved, request for extraction at pickup point."

Weiss smiled, and returned, "Roger that freelancer, extraction in 2 minutes." He then turned to Bourne, "I hope you have answers to questions that thrown at you during the debrief."

Jason shook his head and looked up, he did not know what to answer those questions, only those are probably the questions running in his head right now.
