Washington DC 0900 August 21th 2007 Office of the NSA director.

General Diane Beckman was sitting at her desk glaring at her best operative.

Report Major Casey.

"The building was destroyed. It was wired with a brand of explosives which our techs have concluded came from only one place Fulcrum. I killed Larken but by the time it got to the morgue the body had disappeared. We believe another Fulcrum operative was involved. It is a total disaster General."

"Yes it is we were warn this was going to happen I sent my best but it happened anyway? Get out of my sight Major Dismissed."

Diane thought how could they have botched this job so badly. Orion gave them everything. As her thoughts turned to her brother it was like magic he appeared.

"Hello Diane"

Diane knowing her brother's voice did not look up from her paperwork.

"Stephen this is a disaster. I know you warned me. But somehow it happened anyway. What can you tell me?"

"Larkin is dead. There is no activities on anything."

Diane looked at her brother. He was in pain. His eldest son was gone there was nothing she could do. She then lowered her head to continue working on her speech to the Congressional inquiry committee.

"That is not the problem. The data for the intersect never appeared. I do not know what happened. The device I gave Bryce worked perfectly until someone deliberately short the device. I do not know if the data was lost in transit or what happened. The log of the device did give me a clue. But so far there is no sign of the data on any stream. I will keep looking."

"Great, Stephen I have a congressional inquiry to attend somehow recover that data. If you can not just find where it went."

"Ok Diane I will help you. Goodbye"

Stephen now disappeared Diane did not even look up any more. The mysterious movements of her brother was so common now that looking up was a waste of time.

Washington DC 0900 21th August 2007 Agent Walker's apt.

Sarah Walker entered her apt. It was a long flight with the baby but it was worth seeing Mom again. Sarah flopped on her couch. Bryce would be normally here to welcome her home and do some nice things like make mad sex. Today there is no more Bryce. I was told by Langston that he was a traitor and died a traitor's death. That does not seem possible Bryce was no traitor. I do not care if all the evidence in the world is brought in. I know him. He was no traitor.

Canyon Cabin, Ca 0800 September 23rd 2007

A full month had gone by since the disaster. Orion was still busy monitoring Fulcrum when his sensors activated. What there must be something wrong. Orion looked over the diagnoses of the systems but they were working in spec. So something triggered these sensors. I mean could Bryce be alive? The sensors are showing that is true. Donning the cloak Orion skillful triangulated where the signals were coming from. And abandoned warehouse in the port district of Los Angeles. Checking the existing wiring Orion discovered a t1 line in the vicinity. Hmm it might be close enough Orion mused. Using the cloak he now appeared in a infirmary must be one of Fulcrum's inside a special room he discovered His son alive but hooked up to many machines. Fulcrum must had snatched him. Why the sensors did not indicate Stephen still could not see the reason. Bryce was comatose but alive. Stephen' s heart soared knowing his eldest had survived! He had followed his instructions to let Fulcrum take him too. I am proud of you Bryce Stephen thought. At this point the cloak was showing signed that distance from the T1 was too great and the image faded from view, Taking off the cloak, Stephen sighed. Bryce is alive!

Burbank, Ca 0900 September 24th 2007 Casa Bartowski

Chuck awoke rolled over and noticed he was going to be late for work. Great on my birthday I should call in sick. Chuck wrestled with the idea and gave it up. Better late than not getting there besides I can get Morgan to clock me in and say I have an install. Perfect. Chuck got up and looked on his computer. A birthday email from Bryce? Wow I did not even thought he knew when it was my birthday.

Ok lets open it. Oh wow a Zork code. Ah let me see... use rusty knife.

Chuck watch mesmerized as the pictures with the entire US database was loaded into his head. Chuck dropped to the floor comatose.

Canyon Cabin, CA 0900 24th September 2007.

Orion was scanning the web still searching for that elusive data. Orion got a ping from a server which just sent a email. The size was close to that sent out of the device. Orion read the meta and determined it was the data. Great where did it go? What? Charles's ip address. Throwing the Cloak on Orion appeared in his other son's room Orion winced seeing how poorly his son has been doing. Checking the computer as Chuck lying on the floor noticed the drive was damaged. There will be no way of recovering anything from that. Chuck stirred and open his eyes for a second and saw his father looking at him.

"Dad?"

"Son!"

Chuck now dropped back to the floor passed out. Orion saw Ellie rushing toward the open door. Orion deactivate the cloak. Now he was back in the lab. This is not good Charles has the intersect! Bryce was the one who has the training. How did this happen?

Burbank, CA 1000 24th September 2007 Casa Bartowski residence

He awoke to see a worried Morgan and Ellie starring at him. Chuck had a very large headache possibly from hitting his head. Chuck now stirred and slurred the words

"Ellie, I saw him. Dad he is alive."

Chuck again passed out. Ellie attempted to revive him but nothing he was fast asleep.

"Morgan?"

Morgan fascinated about what his friend said was concentrating on him while Ellie called his name

"Morgan!"

"What? Yes Ellie?"

"Help me put him in his bed."

"Ok Ellie I will take the head you take the feet."

"Oh Chuck you weigh a ton!"

Grunting and straining Morgan and Ellie placed him in his bed.

Chuck meanwhile was sorting all the data which had bombarded his brain. The previous version of the intersect recognized the command codes and unraveled all the data on one Sarah Walker IE Valkyrie/ Langston Graham's wild card enforcer! Chuck now realized his dream girl was real!

Washington DC 1300 24th September 2007 office of the NSA director

General Diane Beckman was busy working at her desk when that familiar voice again appeared.

"Diane I have good news and bad news."

"Oh Stephen what did you learn."

"The data for the intersect was not lost. It is now in the head of my second son! I need you to protect him and do not throw him in any bunker either! I will stop you if that happens!"

"Stephen it is the safest place for a untrained civilian."

"No, I mean it Diane No Bunker!"

"Ok I get your point. No bunker. But I can't stop a kill order. I am so sorry but Charles is on his own. I will try to mitigate on my end but you do understand it would be best if he was to die."

"No Diane Death is not an option either! Besides he is your nephew too! You could not possibly decide to kill him! No, Let him prove to you he will be an asset not a determent. He is smart and this is the kind of challenge he needs!"

"Fine Stephen I will send my best to protect him. I need to couch it as if there is a kill order coming. Otherwise I might get a Major in a uproar and I do not need that headache."

Stephen disappeared. Diane sighed this is going to be a big project I will need congressional approval on this. Imagine the Human Intersect and it works inside a untrained civilian!

Diane now made several orders to her secretary one to get Langston Graham on the phone and second to prepare orders to Major Casey he is going to Burbank, Ca Indefinite assignment Highest priority.

The secretary alerted to the general that Langston Graham is on the phone.

"Langston so good of you to chat with me"

"Diane pleasant weather we are having?"

Yes Langston but the reason I am calling Project Omaha was a success but in a very unexpected different way.

Diane now explained how Orion had traced the data and found that it was already uploaded to His second son. A civilian. Diane also said this is so big that the President himself has signed off on this new project.

"You need to send your best female operative to Burbank immediately. Who knows when Fulcrum will strike next. This asset will need to be only discussed between the two of us and our most trusted operatives. Time is of the essence! From now on this is a joint NSA/CIA project. Our budgets are unlimited! Get to work on a new CIA substation near the asset's work locale. There are several businesses which could be used as cover. This needs to happen Now Langston no delays! Get your agent in place now!

Diane ended the call and thought the Human Intersect program which works! Never in my wildest dreams that Orion's folly would turn out to be his highest achievement.

Washington DC 1400 September 2007 office of the Director of the CIA

Sarah Walker was quickly summoned to his office and was waiting.

Agent Shannon coolly ignored the other woman.

Agent Walker the Director will see you now.

Sarah stepped into Langston's office a place where she has spent much time.

Langston welcomed her warmly as if she was his daughter. A daughter who was oh so deadly.

"Ok Langston why am I here?"

"We have acquire a special asset in Ca and it needs protection. Immediately. Here is the file on the asset. You will not have any regular handlers on this one. All communications will come from either myself or General Beckman do you understand? You belongings will be shipped. You will have another car at your disposal in LA. Here is your military pass get on the soonest jet going west! A supersonic is preferable there an Aurora standing by in Andrews the crew is prep as soon as you get there take off they have that high of a clearance. Contact the asset. Determine his capabilities and become his girlfriend. It is important this happens soon Agent! You will have help with this project Major John Casey will be your NSA counter part. I am sure you will have a good working relations with him. Good Luck Sarah."

Sarah left the office and made arrangement to meet the crew. 2 hours later she was stepping into her hotel in Burbank. After getting the keys to her Porsche she settled into her hotel room. Sitting on her bed she studied the file.

Sarah looked over the file the face reminded her of someone else. He has the deepest brown eyes too. What Walker snap out of it. He is not Bryce. Remember that he does sort of look like him but it is not him. Bryce is dead! Forget about him. His name is Charles remember that. Charles! Ok I guess it is time to go meet the asset. Sarah pick out a great outfit which would show off her best assets and left the hotel with the destination of the local Buy More.

Sarah walked into the Buy more and noticed the asset was not in. Contacting Graham she was informed he would be at his sister's shared apt. He called in Sick. Getting the info on her counter part she located him in the same apt complex as the asset. Knocking at the door she looked at the hulk of a man standing as wide as the doorway. Giving the correct password he let her in.

"Agent Sarah Walker."

Sarah extended her hand and was greeted with a grunt #3 please to meet you.

Sarah now lowered her hand and got busy determining how if any surveillance had been made.

Casey as he wanted to be called showed her the equipment where he monitors the Moron. Casey has such a colorful language. Soon it became apparent Moron was quite appropriate. There was a discussion going on between the asset and another Moron about taking sandwiches on a desert island.

Sarah looked at the Poor man who was monitoring this conversation. Could it be in code? What are they really saying in there. Her Spy sense were highly activated.

"Do they do this often?"

"I have been here half a day and yes it happens a lot. They seem to speak in their own language. One I have yet to determine. I know I will go crazy on this assignment. My trigger finger is getting itchy I hope the general sends that termination order soon!"

"Well I have some unpacking to do and a cover job I need to get trained. It looks we are going to be babysitters for awhile I guess we need to get used to it."

Casey gave grunt #11 meaning you got it sister!

Sarah left Casey to his monitoring and returned to her hotel. This assignment has gotten crazy already. However, on the screen he sure looks like Bryce!. He does look taller though. Sarah forgot all about the asset and the reason she was there and fell asleep.
