Epilogue:
Alex and Jack got a one-way ticket to Chicago. They stepped into their old FBI field office and announced that they were home and were turning themselves in.
Agent Lang and Agent Wheeler gaped in shock. Jack approached Wheeler and held out her hands.
"Would you like to do the honors, Wheeler?" she asked, smiling, "After all, you're the one who figured us out first."
Wheeler shook his head in astonishment as he hand cuffed Jack and Alex.
Their trial date soon arrived. They were able to testify fully against The Company. They told the jury their story from the moment they were recruited to escaping SONA.
Michael was true to his word and testified on their behalf. He had been exonerated at his hearing earlier that month. He and Sara had been reunited and were engaged.
The judge and jury agreed that Alex and Jack were technically victims in the whole ordeal.
The judge said that it was a conspiracy theory that needed immediate and serious investigation.
The judge also ruled that custody of Cameron Mahone be given to Alex. Alex gave the judge a confused look.
"Doesn't Pam Mahone have custody of him?"
The judge paused, a look of surprise crossing his face.
"I'm sorry to tell you this, Mr. Mahone, but…Pam Mahone is dead. She was killed by a drunk driver."
Alex sunk down onto the bench in shock. Jack put a comforting arm around his shoulders.
"Do you still want custody, Mr. Mahone?" asked the judge, gently.
Alex looked up, sharply.
"Yes…of course."
3 years later…
Jack stood behind the kitchen sink, scrubbing a pan. A little girl tottered into the room yelling.
"Mommy! Mommy!"
"What is it, Larkin?" asked Jack as she turned off the water and turned around to face the young girl.
"When's daddy coming home?"
"He'll be home from work in a few minutes."
Alex had gotten a job as an investigator for the police department. He did not carry a gun, due to his past, but helped solve murders and other crimes.
Just then, the door opened. Larkin squealed excitedly and ran over to Alex.
"Daddy!"
"Hey, kiddo!" laughed Alex as he scooped her up, "Where's your big brother?"
Cameron, now eight years old, raced down the stairs.
"Hey, dad!"
Alex gave his son a hug and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, honey," he said softly as he leaned over and gave Jack a kiss.
Alex glanced around at his family and sighed contentedly. After all he had been through, after all he had done, they made it worth it.
"Daddy, can we play Candy Land?" asked Larkin.
"Sure, sweetheart."
Larkin gave a small leap of joy and ran into the den.
Alex laughed as he turned to hug Jack.
"I love coming home to you," he murmured in her ear.
"And I love you coming home to me," whispered Jack, suggestively.
Alex cocked an eyebrow and gave her a charming smile.
"Daddy!" whined Larkin.
Alex laughed, "Coming!"
Jack winked at him.
"You'd better go to her. She's rather demanding."
"Sounds like someone else I know," said Alex.
Jack narrowed her eyes at him.
She smiled as she watched him sit in the floor with their daughter and play Candy Land. She was finally at peace. She had Alex and her family. Her past would always haunt her, but she could always count on her family to be there for her. She could also count on her new friends, Michael and Lincoln too.
No matter what the future had in store, she was ready to face it now. With her family and new found friends nothing and no one could stop her.
She dared them to try…
