Chapter 14
Disclaimer: I do not own ALIAS..don't sue me...this is all from my head based on my love for the show. This goes the same for Jason Bourne from the Bourne series by Robert Ludlum and which ever production company that has rights over it, they are not mine.
"Dixon!" Sydney called out as she rushed over to him with Jason behind her, "I need to talk to you, its about Jason."
"Not now Sydney, we are having a briefing now, it's about Filip Aksakov," as he looked towards the conference room, gesturing for them to follow him.
Already inside the room were Weiss, Jack and Vaughn who were clearly informed about the briefing just a few minutes ago.
"After running a background check on Filip Aksakov, and it appears that before joining the Covenant, Aksakov was a KGB handler, part of the team that was sent here to spy on the CIA."
Vaughn's forehead furrowed as he tried to digest what Dixon just told them, "Are you saying Aksakov worked with Irina Derevko, before joining the Covenant?"
Dixon nodded, "It may be possible, considering there are only a handful of KGB spies that had escaped the CIA that time."
Jason having been informed of the history of Irina Derevko and the KGB in relation to the CIA when he became part of the CIA, "Was Aksakov working for the Covenant before or after Derevko was extracted from her mission?"
"From the intel we have gathered, it seems that it was during the same time that Derevko was extracted that Aksakov joined the Covenant."
The timeline given made Sydney think, it all seems to be connected somehow; Jason, her mother, her brother, and even Aksakov. It is just too much of a coincidence that everything was sitting out there in the open with unconnected dots, it was just too plain. It was like a puzzle that needs to be solved…puzzle, the puzzle that Jason remembered. She had guessed that he was part of project Christmas when her father established it, but what if he was one of the test objects.
Aksakov could have easily gotten her brother from her mother when they were both working for the KGB, considering that her twin was in the car with Irina when it went down. Aksakov could have brought Jason Bristow to the Covenant, knowing that he had training before hand with project Christmas. Then again, it could have been her mother, with what Irina had done before, Sydney would not put it pass her to bring her own son into an organization built for crime just to make herself climb the ladder of organized crime.
Jason Bourne… Jason Bristow; the Covenant were playing a sick joke, it was all jumping out in front of their faces, they just needed to see it.
Sydney stood up, ready to voice out what she discovered, "I know who the child is."
Everyone turned to look at her, curious as who she would say, "A couple of weeks ago, I discovered that I had a twin brother, which I subconsciously erased from my mind. It turns out that my mother was not alone in the car when it hit the river, he was in there with her, and also I learned that he too was subjected to the project Christmas."
"Jason Bourne did not know where he had come from, who his family are, what he did before he joined the CIA, only the last few years of his life and the things the CIA had known about him, during his time with the agency." Sydney looked at Jason, who was surprised to hear her talk about him.
"What I am saying is that it is possible that Jason Bourne is Jason Bristow, the child the Covenant had trained to kill for them. Just an hour ago, Jason told me about a recurring dream about a puzzle, the same puzzle that lead me to discovering that was subjected under training when I was a child. It all fits; Jason Bristow was taken and trained by the Covenant more than twenty years ago, brainwashed and rejoined society when he was eighteen to be subjected again to training by the CIA, where he was declared as a natural, thus putting him into the field early."
Sydney took a deep breath and continued, "Another thing is that didn't the Covenant child stayed with Cirocco while he was being trained? If Jason is the man we are looking for then it would explain why he knows about the failsafe in the study."
The room was silent as they pondered on the connections that Sydney had with the facts they are facing. They could not mistake the connections each of the cases to each other, thus there is a possibility that it is true.
Dixon knew Sydney's instinct is trustworthy especially in mind games that their enemies always subject them to, and he was losing nothing in finding out if Jason Bourne is indeed Jason Bristow. "Sydney, Jack and Jason you will undergo DNA matching, after a few hours we will know if Jason is indeed your twin."
It felt like the longest four hours of her life. She was walking the length of the Rotunda's hallway as Vaughn watched her with concern evident in his eyes. The sandwich that she got hours ago left uneaten, as did the drink, though Michael had tried to persuade her to eat something, but the anxiety in her about the results of the DNA test was too much, she could not eat anything.
She looked up in time to see Dixon leave his office, going straight towards Jack who was talking to a lower ranked desk officer. She saw Dixon give Jack a folder that obviously held the results of the DNA test, from the way the stony faced Jack opened the folder to read it.
As if her father that she was looking at him, he looked up from the folder to stare at her, she could not tell from his eyes what the results were, so she strides towards her father and Dixon, with Vaughn following her, ready to give her support.
The folder was handed back to her and as if in slow motion she read and reread the words that were written in the single piece of paper the folder contained.
99.3 match…99.3 match…That meant Jason Bourne is Jason Bristow, her twin brother.
It was as if a part of her soul was returned to her. One puzzle that is herself sealed into place, never to be taken again. She looked around to look for Jason, wanting to tell him the good news, but he was not in the office, Weiss who was nearby saw the hope in her eyes as she scanned the floor of the Rotunda, "He likes to go the beach just past the highway to think. I have a hunch that he is there now."
Sydney nodded, and still without a word to her father, turned to Vaughn, "I'll go talk to him okay?"
Michael knew it was what she needed, "Okay, you alright?"
Sydney smiled, "Yeah I am, I'm great, I will talk to you later okay?"
"Yeah, later at home. I love you."
"Love you too." With that she went towards the exit, leaving Vaughn and Jack looking after her.
