Prologue

My name is Liz Parker and I am an agent. I am one of the youngest agents to be working for the CIA.

I should start at the beginning. When I was 6 years old my father Jeff finished developing project Christmas with his lifelong friend Jack Bristow. Project Christmas was a training program for children who showed brilliance in a particular way of thinking.

Jack's daughter Sydney and I were trained together and although she is three years my senior, we have become good friends. It’s good for both of us to have someone we can talk to about work.

I am about to start my last year of high school. Only rather than finishing school in my home town of LA SD-6 is moving us to Roswell. Arvin Sloane, my boss at SD-6 has come across some information that he believes may lead him to more information about Rambaldi. Rambaldi was a prophet in the 14th century. Some say he was a genius, others say he was mad.

Whether he was sane or not, his workings are relevant to technology only being invented today. Milo Rambaldi is the subject of most of our missions and I believe that Sloane knows more than he says. He has us believe that SD-6 is a covert branch of the CIA. However I know different. SD-6 is actually a branch of the alliance of twelve. The very enemy I once thought I was fighting to destroy

About nine months ago now, Sydney’s boyfriend Danny proposed. Syd accepted and told him the truth, well what she thought was the truth, that she was working for the CIA. Sloane found out that Danny knew and had him killed. It was then that Syd’s father got into contact with her after many years and told her the truth about SD-6 and the alliance

This is where the double agent bit comes in. Sydney, her father Jack, my father and I are all double agents giving as much Intel to the CIA as we can with out being caught. It wasn’t until Danny was killed that Jack and my father decided to tell us about the real CIA, and the truth about SD-6. She came and told me and we went straight to the CIA. We have been double agents ever since.

So now when we get a mission from SD-6 we go to our respective handlers and receive a counter mission. I have reason to believe that Syd has fallen for her handler Vaughan, even though she denies it. My handler, agent Weiss, what can I say, he’s very jolly, kind of like an uncle.

So Arvin Sloane is taking us to Roswell, he has already secured a cover building, another Credit Dauphine. Going with him are Agents, Jeff Parker, Sydney Bristow, Marcus Dixon, Marshall the Tech guy and myself. Syd’s father Jack is being left as acting director of the LA office. Something which shall hopefully be of some use to the CIA.

Luckily the CIA already has an office in Roswell. They tried to give Sydney and I knew handlers but given that Vaughn and Weiss had no want or reason to stay in LA they have accompanied us to Roswell.

If Syd was not being assigned to Roswell I would have probably refused, I need a friend to talk to sometimes whether it is about work or not. After what Sloane did to Danny I have no intention of getting close to anyone. At least with Syd here I will have someone to talk to.

Sometimes I don’t know why I bother keeping this warped version of a journal. I guess writing it out helps me to sort through my thoughts. It's not like I actually get to keep it though.

Liz put down her pen and reread her thoughts for the day. Smirking, she brought her lighter and set the piece of paper on fire, watching to make sure that there was no trace of what she had written in the ashes. She climbed down from the roof of the small apartment building and headed into her flat. She lived downstairs where as Sydney lived in the flat upstairs. A small complex paid for by Sloane. Naturally the first thing both agents had done was fry any bugs that might have been in either of their apartments.

Liz set her alarm so she would wake up with time to get ready for tomorrow, her first day at West Roswell High.

~

Meanwhile out on a balcony, above an alien themed restaurant on the other side of town in Roswell, a blonde writes on her own, soon to be burned piece of paper.

My name is Tess Harding and today I very successfully completed my training.

I am now an agent for SD6, a covert branch of the CIA.

Feedback is much appreciated

Thanks heaps for the feedback guys i'm glad you enjoy it!

Part 1

After showering Liz got dressed in a plain pair of light blue hipster jeans and a simple black singlet top. She didn’t see much point in drawing attention to herself; she was destined to be the loner kid anyway. After grabbing a bite to eat she headed out to her car, a black Mazda soft top. Working for the bad guys certainly had its fringe benefits.

She pulled into school and received her timetable. Up first was computer studies. One of Liz’s favourite subjects, mainly because it was something she excelled in. Making her way down the corridor it didn’t take her long to find her locker. Standing next to her locker was a lanky guy, kind of geeky looking.

“You must be new” He said when she approached

“Thank you, captain obvious” Liz muttered

“Alex Whitman” He held out his hand, either not noticing or ignoring the coldness in Liz’s voice

“Liz” She said off handedly

“So Liz, where are you from?” He asked

“LA” Liz growled as she opened her locker. However once she opened her locker she smiled. Taped to the door was a bag of cheese nips. She smirked as she ripped them off the door and read the note on the back Noisy packet but excellent mid class munchies

There was also a new mobile phone, one only the CIA would have the number to. There was also a beeper and a new mobile from SD-6, Weiss must have come after the SD-6 agent. She put the two phones and the beeper in her bag closed her locker

“Wow, most people are just greeted with dust when they open their locker for the first time” Alex pointed out

“I have friends in high places. Excuse me” She said and left before he could say any more.

Once inside the computer lab she took a seat at the back of the classroom and became annoyed upon discovering that Alex was in the same class and he sat next to her.

“Hello again” He smirked

Liz smiled half heartedly before the teacher entered and turned on the projector revealing a page of notes

“Is this all we do?” Tess asked Alex

“Yep. About half way through the lesson he’ll switch to another slide. But basically it’s type up the notes then surf the net” He chuckled

“Sweet”

Liz typed up the notes in no time, not even needing to glance down at the keys. Alex watched in amazement

“Wow, I have never seen anyone type that fast” He pointed out

Liz sighed. Being the kid with no friends was going to be harder than she thought “I never had a lot of friends in LA, I was always busy with work, just had a lot of practice”

“Yeah? Where’s work?”

“The bank, Credit Dauphine”

“Oh that’s the new one a few blocks away from the crashdown café. My friend works there”

“Oh okay” Liz said not really caring

“So do you have any friends in Roswell yet?” Alex inquired

“Just one, I work with her at the bank-” Liz was cut off as her beeper went off Sloane 911 “Great” she muttered as the teacher put up the next set of notes. Liz typed up the notes regarding Mail Merging within a few minutes before logging off the computer and packing her things

“You know the lesson doesn’t end for another twenty minutes” Alex pointed out

“Family thing” Liz said vaguely before getting up and telling the teacher something about it being that time of the month.

As she was driving she sent out a pulse, from a device built into her lipstick, to ensure that her car had not been bugged before calling Weiss

“Weiss, talk to me”

“Cheese Nips, you know I hate those things” She chuckled

“Glad you got em, why the call?” he asked

“Headed for a meeting with Sloane. The beeper message said 911 so chances are it’ll be another mission. Just giving you a heads up” Liz explained

“Alright, let us know when you find out. Gotta go I’ll tell Vaughan” Weiss muttered before hanging up.

Moments later Liz pulled up in front of the ‘bank’ and parked her car.

“Glad you could make it so quickly” Sloane commented as Liz headed into the meeting room.

“Yeah well I always hated history. Anyways I am hoping to make it back before PE so why the buzz” Liz said sitting down next to Sydney.

"As you all know Milo Rambaldi's work is of great interest to the CIA. We have intercepted a phone call inside the K directorate regarding the second half of a binary code which leads to an address somewhere in Spain. There is an auto show tomorrow in Madrid at which Anna Espinosa will attempt to steal the box containing this code

Sydney I want you to intercept and steal the key she will be wearing around her neck. Liz you will be breaking into a vault and stealing the lockbox. Marshall, will runs ops Dixon, will be backup. Your plane leaves in 4 hours" Sloane explained before tapping Jeff on the shoulder and exiting the room.

Sydney and Liz shot each other a look before Marshall launched into his explanation.

"Okay, Syd, I'll tell you yours first. Here we have a simple chain with a black pendant you would were with a party outfit...maybe if you go out clubbing, I don't know do you go clubbing? Or you might also wear it if you"

"Marshall" Jeff warned when Marshall began holding the necklace against his own neck

"Right so this is just a black pendant well it isn't. See it slides in half revealing a transmission scrambler which will render any of the equipment Anna is using useless. Only thing is once you use it your transmission to Dixon will also be terminated so be careful. The matching earrings of course are the Mike and the earpiece" Marshall explained dangling the earrings from his own ears

"Liz you get the better gadgets this time because you actually have some alarms and what not to get through. Now if you open the lockbox without the key it will immediately destroy the code so don't open until you have the key and you can effectively record the code.

Now the lockbox is in a simple enough safe that will be easy enough to crack the code of but will take three minutes to crack so that you can open it. So I created this little box here which will effectively knock out all camera systems for four minutes. I suggest synchronizing with Sydney because then Anna's back up won't be able to see what’s going on either or you could do it when ever I mean you guys won't need to-"

"Go on Marshall" Sydney said with a smile

"Right and the safe decoder fits into the heel of one of these boots I thought you might like" Liz smiled when Marshall held up a pair of knee length black high heel boots

"But the case will be sitting on a motion detector which I can't create a scrambler for with out actually having the safe here. So once you have the case a silent alarm will go off and guards will be after you. One other thing, to create a distraction, here we have just a normal looking coin, but it is a sonic wave emitter. You drop it near a glass window or something and set it off, boom" Marshall finished and Sydney and Liz headed to the costume vault.

"So, how you dong with out your dad Syd?" Liz asked on the way there

"Fine actually. I mean I miss him but I don't think I feel too bad. I miss Will and Francie more" Sydney said both of them stopping when they saw Sloane in his office with what appeared to be a new agent.

As if knowing what they were thinking Jeff Parker appeared behind them "Her name is Tess Harding. Also attends West Roswell high, proud to be working for her country" he said telling the girls what they were wondering "She does not know you Liz and will not be working on assignments with you. It might be best if she does not see you here" Jeff said with absolutely no emotion as usual.

"Come on I wanna get an outfit and head back to school. The less I fall behind the less I will have to catch up" Liz said nodding at Jeff before heading off with Sydney.

After choosing an outfit Liz made a call to Weiss before returning to school during the lunch hour.

She planned on sitting under a tree in a corner of the school yard somewhere and read over her mission statement but that was not to be.

"Hey Liz" Alex said

"Hi...Alex"

"Hey you look like you're all by yourself; my friends and I are sitting over by the bleachers if you wanna join us"

Liz sighed “Fine”

"Donating blood saves lives" A male was saying in front of the van they were walking around

"No thanks I hate needles" Alex said giving a shudder

“Oh yeah, knew I had to do something this week" Liz mumbled what a crap excuse she thought to herself

"Okay I’ll wait here for you" Alex said as Liz entered the van

"Donating blood?” Liz questioned with a chuckle “What’s happening Vaughan where's Weiss?" She asked

"Relax, he is related to one of the students here so he can't see you this time"

"Oh okay what’s my counter mission?"

"Take this. The second you open the box take a photo of the code and MMS it to us. You'll give the code to SD-6 as well but we'll send either you or Sydney to the address revealed before SD-6 can send anyone"

"That’s it"

"That’s it" Vaughan repeated

"Alright, I'm gonna go then" Liz said stuffing the phone into her bag leaving

"Every thing okay?" Alex asked

"Yeah fine" Liz muttered

"Well come meet everyone then Alex said as they headed up the bleachers

Thanks heaps for the feedback guys it means alot

Part 2

“Guys this is Liz” Alex said as they headed up to find a seat

“Liz this is Maria, Max, Tess Isabel and Kyle” Alex said pointing to everyone in turn.

“Hi” She said

Liz looked around the group to get a feel for what everyone was like. It seemed as though Maria and Max were dating. Alex appeared to have a thing for Tess, where as Tess seemed to have a thing for Kyle, who was oblivious to this fact. Tess also seemed to be slightly on edge, probably not liking the lying to her friends. She’ll eventually get over that.

She couldn’t help chuckling as she looked around at the small group of friends

“What’s so funny?” Isabel asked

“You all seem to be a tight group of friends yet…. I don’t know not the sort of characters I would have expected to all be friends”

“What are you talking about?” Kyle asked

“Well you have a hopeless romantic, a science geek, a computer geek, a blabbermouth, a jock and a cheerleader” Liz pointed out “And judging by the way you’re all looking at each other as if I know something I shouldn’t… You probably have something to hide”

“You know an awful lot about us considering we only just met” Max stated

Liz scoffed before explaining herself “Max here is doodling I love Maria all over his books. Maria I walked passed you on the way to computers, the amount of words you said before breathing was astounding. I had computers this morning and Alex was the only other person in the room besides me who wasn’t learning something he didn’t already know. Isabel a tall good looking blonde dressed in the latest fashion, your pom poms are at you feet.

Tess, you are reading a biology text book during your lunch break. Kyle short, muscly with a football in your hands, I am guessing quarterback?”

“Wow” Alex commented

“So Liz where are you from?” Tess inquired

Oh god you suck at subtly asking for information “LA”

“What do you think of Roswell so far?” Maria asked making conversation

“It’s boring” Liz stated

“Oh it’s not that bad you just gotta-” Maria began

“No really, I hate to brag but I can speak many different languages and working at the bank I get to travel around the world, trust me when I say it’s boring” Liz cut her off

“Ok then” Maria said as Liz sat behind everyone and pulled out the history notes she had missed

“Didn’t you just have History?” Max asked suspiciously

“I was busy”

“Maybe you and Tess were busy together she was missing last period as well” Max commented

“You’re very nosy you know that” Liz said with a raised eyebrow

“Anyway Liz we are all hanging out at the crash tonight if you wanna join us?” Alex offered

“I can’t this evening I have a business trip”

Kyle scoffed “You’re seventeen what kind of business trip”

“I am one of the financial managers at Credit Dauphine. If you must know I am flying to New Zealand to meet a client” Liz said, knowing that Ed had already set it up at Credit Dauphine should anyone get nosy.

“When do you get back, maybe we could hang out then?” Tess offered obviously not liking her

“Maybe” Liz said as the bell went. She took out her timetable

“Social studies?” She said more to herself than to anyone else

“Yeah, very boring subject” Alex commented “I think today they have a fed or a CIA agent giving a talk”

“Fuck I hate fed’s” Liz stated, noticing how uncomfortable Max seemed to be at the mention of the FBI

“Why would you hate fed’s” Tess asked very suspiciously

“They are morons. They have know idea how to do their job and they spend more time trying prove conspiracy theories rather than actually catching bad guys”

“You sound pretty sure?” Isabel commented suspiciously sounding like a complete snob

“The CIA wouldn’t waste their time on a talk at a high school. I’ve had run ins with feds before and I don’t like them” Liz said as she walked off, remembering an old mission in which she had to kill an FBI agent in order to save the mission.

“I don’t trust her” Tess said to the group after Liz had left.

~

That afternoon Sydney and Liz took the same car to the airport.

“So after I had subtly told them that the FBI are morons. I walk into social studies only to receive the talk from ‘Special’ agent Lambert” Liz explained with a smile on her face

“The same Lambert who was almost my handler?” Sydney scoffed “He suits being a fed”

“Yeah he saw me and flinched. I don’t think you getting him fired went down to well” Both agents laughed.

“So did you see Vaughan today” Liz asked playfully

“No I didn’t, we spoke though, seeing as though I am only getting the key from Anna there was no need for a counter mission”

“I saw him”

Sydney tried not to let the small amount of jealousy leak out in her voice “I thought Weiss was your handler”

“He is related to one of the students, so Vaughan gave me my counter mission” Liz explained

“Oh, that seems reasonable”

“You know one day I am gonna get Weiss and we’ll lock the two of you in a room until both of you wake up”

“What are you talking about?” Sydney asked

“You know exactly what I am talking about. You and your ‘Guardian Angel’” Liz finished in a sing song voice

Sydney could only pout in reply.

~

That night Sydney was wearing a pair of plain black suit pants and a white blouse. The waitress uniform for this evenings Auto show. Liz however was wearing the knee high boots Marshall had given her and a red knee length skirt with a spilt up the side. She was wearing a halter neck top that matched the skirt.

She had been given a necklace and an ear piece from the CIA which she would activate after Syd had scrambled all the transmissions. Sydney had also received an Ear piece and although they would not be able to communicate with each other the CIA could relay information between Syd and Liz.

“What's the guard situation Dixon?” Liz asked in the back of the van now parked outside the show.

“There are three guards sitting around the screens. One in the same corridor as the vault, and three in the actual show room. The last three will be distracted by the sonic boom but watch out for the others.”

“Will do” Liz said to Dixon “Syd if your aren’t out of there at 2100 I’m coming in”

“I’ll be out, any sign of Anna yet Dixon?” Syd asked

“Not yet”

“I’ll see you in there” Liz said exiting the van and heading inside.

She made it inside and mapped out an appropriate route in her mind and planned where to drop the coin. Ten minutes later Sydney entered and began carrying around a tray of champagne flutes.

They waited about half an hour until “Heads up Espinosa has just entered” Dixon said through their ear piece

Liz looked around to Sydney who nodded and Liz dropped the coin. Walking over to the corridor she would need to travel down Liz pulled a pen out of her purse and set off the sonic boom.

A glass panel that had been frosted to resemble the car they were unveiling, shattered and Syd and Liz immediately took off in different directions.

Liz ran down the corridor and was almost at the vault. “Scrambling the camera’s, now. Going radio silent”

“Scrambling transmissions” Sydney said before the line went dead.

Liz rounded the corner and the guard took out his pistol. She immediately kicked it out of his hand and punched him in the stomach before lifting one leg and kicked him in the head knocking him unconscious.

She stuck the vault scrambler on the door and it began its decoding. Meanwhile she activated the earpiece to the CIA “This is Nasedo”

“Loud and clear Nasedo”

“Vault door is being decoded 40 percent to go”

“Alright the guards are still at their desk but will head straight for you once you retrieve the lock box”

“I thought Marshall’s scrambler rendered all security cameras useless”

“We had someone plant our own camera above the guard station. It is a different frequency to what Marshall planned for”

“Right”

“The vaults decoded I’m getting the box now” Liz said as she opened the door and carefully picked up the case. She exited the vault and headed down the corridor she entered.

“Two guards are on their way one’s gone after Sydney”

Liz rounded the corner and swung the case towards the first guard doing considerable damage to his nose. The second guard swung at her connecting with her right eye. She winced in pain before punching him in the face. Bending over she lifted her right leg and kicked the guard in the face before throwing him into a wall, knocking him unconscious.

As she was fighting the second guard two more approached her from behind and each grabbed one of her arms and held her still while the other guard wiped his mouth and moved forward hitting her once in the stomach. However as he went to hit her a second time a figure dressed entirely in black appeared and punched the guard once rendering him unconscious.

Liz used this opportunity to pull her guards together till they hit each other face first. Bending in half sideways she kicked them each twice in the head until, they to, were now knocked out. She tried to find the figure that had helped her but he had disappeared. Liz wondered who he could have been before being brought back to reality by Weiss’s voice

“Syd’s got the key meet her at the rendezvous point” She heard Weiss say. She headed into a janitors closet close by the exit and took the phone Vaughan had given her from her purse. Sydney entered moments later

“We’ve got approximately two minutes before they lock the place down” Syd said. Liz noticed she also had acquired a black eye and had a gash on her arm.

Sydney inserted the key and Liz positioned the phone ready to take a picture. The box opened and Liz took the picture. The code was written in four lines. But after about five seconds two cylinders either side of the parchment began to secrete a black liquid over the code rendering it unreadable

“You get the first two lines I’ll get the second two” Liz said as she started to memorize the last to lines of the code.

“Got it”

“Do we take the case with us?” Liz asked

“No leave it here, there is no way they’ll be able to get the code now” Sydney said

“We got the code” Weiss said in her ear “Destroy the phone and get out of there”

Liz torched the phone with a jet lighter before her and Sydney made a prompt exit.

Once back in the van they typed up the code and it was sent to SD-6. “You guys okay?” Dixon asked

“Never better” Liz said placing an ice pack against her eye. Sydney did the same as Dixon bandaged her arm

Part 3

It was Wednesday night and Liz headed to the crashdown to get a bite to eat with Sydney.

“So what happened then?” Liz asked

“Well then I grabbed a chain that was near me and I swung down a story and kicked her in the chest. We fought and eventually I ripped the key off her neck and then there was more fighting and then I ran to find you” Sydney explained positioning a compact mirror in the middle of the table. A small device Marshall had made to ensure no one was listening to their conversation.

Liz laughed “It must have been fun kicking her ass”

“It was” Sydney commented “So what are you studying at school, anything you need help with?”

“I don’t even know. Got two hours at school and the bank is already sending us off on business trips.”

“Hi I’m Tess and I’ll be your waitress”

“Hi Tess, nice uniform” Liz remarked

“Well we are in Roswell” Tess pointed out through gritted teeth

“Mmm that we are, I’ll just have a burger and a coke” Liz said

“Right and for you?” Tess asked Sydney

“I’ll have the same” Sydney said before Tess stalked off

“She’s a cheerful one” Sydney joked

“Hey Liz, your back from New Zealand. See any sheep?” Alex said as he came up.

“Yeah all New Zealand is, is sheep filled paddocks and snowy mountains. Nice Scenery though”

“What happened to your eye?” Alex questioned looking at Liz

“Ahh it’s nothing. This is my friend Sydney, we work together”

“Hi Alex”

“Hello” Alex said as Liz’s mobile began to ring.

“Talk to me” She said as she answered it

“Hey Phoenix”

“Cheese Nips” Liz said in acknowledgement, causing Sydney to chuckle

“Devlin has decided we’re sending you to Mexico. The binary code represents a geographical location for a church in Málaga, Spain”

“Great. You guys do know I have school still?”

“Ah I know don’t worry, my nephew goes there I’ll get him to tutor you”

“I don’t need a tutor! So when do I leave?”

“Plane leaves tonight at 8, Jeff’s already set it up with Sloane so you’re covered” Weiss explained

“Okay then. See you when I get back” Liz hung up her phone

“That client we were working on is in Mexico. I leave tonight”

Sydney nodded in understanding. Alex however was confused

“Wait you got back from one country yesterday and tonight they’re sending you to Mexico? It sounds like this job sucks” he pointed out

“No I love it. I get to travel for free a lot and I speak about 6 Languages”

“Wow, that’s impressive. Well I’ll leave you to your meal” Alex said when Tess brought their food over “Maybe we can hang out when you get back?”

Liz hesitated “Um okay” she said before Alex smiled and left

“Sounds like a date” Sydney teased

“O shut up” Liz replied before biting into her burger.
~

About an hour after her meal Liz was on her way to Mexico

It was a short flight landing after about half an hour. Liz rented a car under a false alias and drove straight out to the church. Maybe if she got this over and done with she could return in time to have a normal day at school.

As she started to look around the very old church Liz realized that she had no idea what it was exactly that she was looking for. Liz looked under all the pews before glancing around at all the walls. It was then that her eyes fell on a stain glass window.

Although it was night now the sun must have shone directly through this window at some point in the afternoon. The window was of a sun, emitting rays over a hill.

Her mind flashed to the last part of the code, the sun.

After moving a table closer to the window she climbed up and attempted to remove the window. When this didn't work she fiddled with the sun itself, which began to unscrew.

Looking at it, it appeared to be a map. Liz jumped of the table, eyes still focused on the sun before she was suddenly hit in the stomach, causing her to drop the disc.

"I was hoping they would send agent Bristow, but you'll do" An all too familiar Spanish voice said.

Liz turned to see Anna Espinosa with what seemed to be the leg of a rather large table.

Anna began swinging the leg at Liz whose arms flew up in the air as she leapt backwards to avoid another blow to the mid section.

She kicked the leg out of Anna’s hands and kicked her in the stomach before Anna lunged towards Liz.

Anna had one hand pinning Liz down on a table and with her free hand she reached around and pulled a switchblade from her back pocket.

Liz grabbed Anna’s hand holding the blade and struggled to move it backwards until it was hovering over some nearby candles. Anna wailed in pain and Liz used this distraction to her advantage lifted her leg and kicking Anna in the stomach.

Anna's fist then connected with Liz’s jaw sending her backwards. At the next moment the figure dressed entirely in black swung down from the roof. He then kicked Anna in the stomach twice before spinning and kicking her in the face. Liz punched Anna in the face once with each hand. She then dropped to the floor and kicked Anna’s legs out from under her before handcuffing her to a very large table.

"Good. But not good enough" Liz mocked before turning, picking up the disk and looking around, the figure was no where to be seen, again.

~

"Whoever this is, better have a damn good reason for waking me up" Weiss muttered as he answered his phone.

"You want this map or not?"

"Map what? Liz what are you talking about?"

"The sun. I think its a map, so get your lazy ass out of bed and come and get it, cause I would like to sleep before school tomorrow" Liz said before hanging up and heading towards her usual meeting place.

~

When Liz left for school the next morning she bumped into Sydney returning from her usual morning run.

"Hey, you're back already, how'd it go?" Syd asked

"My jaw and stomach have seen better days but I’ll live. Ran into Espinosa, handcuffed her to a table" Liz and Sydney chuckled at the thought. “But I had help from someone dressed entirely in black, disappeared before I could talk to whoever it was”

“Well, they obviously don’t want to be found so I’ll have dad look into it but it shouldn’t be anything bad if he keeps helping then disappearing” Sydney pointed out

"Anything new with you? Liz asked

"Vaughan and I are going for coffee"

"Oh really" Liz squealed

"Well, we are gonna meet in secret and drink out of a thermos" Syd replied

"Well I gotta go to school. But after this meeting you are giving me all the details." Liz said before hurrying out the door

~

Liz was walking down the corridor to English rubbing her stomach.

“Liz right?” Kyle asked as he began walking beside her

“Yeah, hi Kyle. Uhh did you want something?”

“Just, walking with ya, small talk, get to know you that sort of thing”

“You’re wasting your time you won’t get to know me”

“I was just trying to be friendly I know it sucks being the new kid”

“Yeah well go be friendly with Tess; she’s the one with the god damn crush on you”

“What are you talking about?”

“I think your hair severely decreases brain activity you know that”

“Whatever” Kyle mumbled before stalking off

“Making friends already” Liz said sarcastically to herself

She entered the computer lab and sat down in her usual spot. Moments later Alex entered and sat next to her. “Whoah back already?”

“Yeah the meeting was cancelled so once I landed I just came back.” Liz explained

“Oh okay”

"Hey, I'm having a movie night at my house tonight with the gang; you're welcome to join us"

Liz looked hesitant

"Oh go on you could use a night after all the work you've done lately"

She sighed "Alright"

~

So that night at 8 o’clock she was knocking on Alex's door

"Oh hey Liz weren't sure if you'd show up. Come in, come in a welcome distraction Alex is rambling about gadgets" Isabel rambled as she ushered Liz inside.

"Oh okay" Liz chuckled

"Ah, hey Liz"

"Alex"

"Yeah so anyway it causes the screen receiving the image" Alex said and everyone headed into the lounge room

Liz didn’t know what he was talking about but she glanced sideways at Tess who looked like she was panicking.

“You all right Harding? You look like your going to be sick” Liz casually stated

“Um yeah I’m not feeling to well, Kyle would you mind giving me a lift home?”

“Yeah sure” Kyle said as he was casually scratching his side, his shirt rode up slightly and Liz had to stop her eyes from popping out of her head at what she saw “That’s a very interesting tattoo”

“It’s not a tattoo it’s a birthmark” Kyle stated leaving no room for discussion

“We’re gonna leave too Alex, Don’t really like hackers anyway” Max stated as he and Maria left hand in hand

“Maybe I shouldn’t have came" Liz sighed “Seeing as it’s your house would it be easier if I left?”

Alex reached and grabbed her hand “No stay”

Liz smiled “So what's this screen scrambler thing you were telling everyone about?” she sat next to him

"I don't get you" Alex said

"There's nothing to get" Liz said

"Well you're obviously important to that bank if they send you around the world to meet clients. Yet you are obviously skilled with computers. And you are, well, a bitch in front of everyone, but when you’re alone your not that bad"

"Consider yourself lucky" Liz stated

“Right. So this” Alex commented holding up a small pocket AM FM radio “it picks up the radio waves from a nearby screen and alters it see” He said pushing a button and the episode of the Simpson’s on the TV flickered before going fuzzy

“You made this by yourself?”

“Yeah”

“Any reason?”

“My uncle asked me to experiment. He works in a security firm and is constantly playing pranks.”

“So how long does it last?”

“Until the batteries run out, but they can be replaced” Alex explained

“I see you’ve made a couple of them”

“Yeah” Alex answered

“Don’t suppose I could pinch one? I like playing a few pranks myself”

“Uh okay”

“This is really impressive” Liz said holding it up

“Thanks” Alex said smiling proudly “My god what happened to your jaw?”

“What? Oh it’s nothing” Liz said as her hand flew up to the bruise on the left of her jaw

"Why do I get the feeling you aren't telling me everything?"

"I am telling you everything. You’re just trying to be nosy" Liz said rudely getting up and heading for the front door

Alex got up and stopped her "Say it like you mean it and maybe I’ll believe you" he sighed "I'm just worried about you" He stated sincerely before pulling Liz into a hug

At that moment there was a knock on the door

“Hey Uncle Eric” Alex said when he opened the door

“Hey I just though I would pop by and see if you have my radio” Weiss stated

“Yeah sure wait here” Alex said

Weiss immediately turned to Liz “Syd’s with Vaughan couldn’t tell you herself Sloane is having a meeting”

“Right, run a check on a Kyle Valenti”

"Why?"

"Don’t ask questions" Liz hissed before Alex returned

"Here you go, there’s two of them” Alex said as he handed Weiss a box.

"Listen I just got paged from the bank I have to go" Liz said to Alex

Before she could exit Alex stopped her "Are you sure you’re going to be okay?"

"I’ll be fine" Liz said before gratefully squeezing his arm and leaving. Alex turned and leant against the door.

There was something Liz wasn't telling him and he was going to find out.

Part 4

Liz entered the bank in the usual fashion. Flash scan, then through a door and eventually into the meeting room.

She could see that Sydney was there also as well as Jeff, Marshall and Dixon. There must be another mission coming up she thought to herself.

"Right now that everyone is here let’s begin" Sloane started "The person on your screen needs no introduction. Sark has been an enemy of this organization for many, many years"

"This" he continued clicking a button that led to the next slide "Is a Mr. Bumani, a Russian arms dealer. He and his men have developed a computer program that would allow them unrestricted access to Echelon. Something which I am sure you will all agree must not fall into the hands of Sark"

"Sark has arranged to buy the program on Monday at a warehouse Bumani owns, it also doubles as a night club. I want both of you to intercept the program and bring it back here however if necessary, destroy it we cannot allow a program of this magnitude to fall into Mr. Sark’s hands" Sloane finished his explanation before turning to Marshall

"You will receive details tomorrow I trust you can come up with sufficient equipment by the time the agents will be leaving?"

"Yes sir" Marshall answered a little quickly

"Well then your flight leaves at 1600 hours on Sunday"

Everyone began to pack their documents an exit. Sydney who had walked got a lift home with Liz.

Upon arrival at their units Liz stopped Sydney "Hey you’ve been dead quiet what happened? Was it something with Vaughan?"

Sydney nodded and Liz led Sydney into her kitchen and retrieved two tubs of ice cream from the freezer "Alright spill"

"We met and he looked really upset and then he explained that Alice's father had died and that he couldn't break up with her. Weiss is my handler as well now. Liz I’ll never see him again" Sydney sobbed finally letting the tears spill

"Don't worry, I bet you will" Liz said wrapping an arm around Sydney’s shoulders

"He'll probably get married"

"No he won’t. What is it you always say? He is your guardian angel. Once Alice gets over the death of her father I am sure he'll see sense and beg you to go out with him"

~Meanwhile at the Quarry~

“What do we do she saw my birthmark?” Kyle asked the group. Everyone was having a secret meeting to discuss alien related matters

“I don’t trust her. But you seem to be taken with her” Tess stated her voice dripping with hatred

“Well apart from deducing facts about us she doesn’t seem to be a bad guy as such so I don’t think we need to skip town or anything” Maria said off handedly not really caring “I mean she acts like a bitch but she seems to care less than I do”

“No there is something about her that’s not right. She could be working for the government” Tess stated

“Look from my point of view she keeps to herself. She might just have something to hide like we do” Kyle suggested

“For now we’ll just be careful around her” Max said before they all headed home

~

The next day at school Liz was putting her books in her locker when Kyle approached

“Liz”

“Kyle, what’s up?”

“Nothing much”

Liz was about to say something when her phone rang, it was Weiss “Talk to me”

“I ran a check on Kyle Valenti. The kid didn’t exist before the age of six, neither did Max or Isabel. They were all found out in the desert at the age of six. I can give you co-ordinates, seems like a bit of a cover up”

“Yeah that would be good I’ll check it out later” Liz said before hanging up

“Sounded important” Kyle commented

“It was. Listen schools over, I’m hungry and you are trying to subtly assess whether I am a threat to whatever secret it is you Max and Isabel share. Why don’t we go to the crash down for a bite to eat?”

“That obvious huh?” Kyle said as both he and Liz headed towards the exit

“So who told you that it was Mine Max and Isabel’s secret?” Kyle asked

“You just did”

“Whoa this is your car?” Kyle questioned sounding very impressed

“Yeah working for a high profile bank sure does have its benefits. You wanna drive it?’

“WHAT? You would let me drive it?” Kyle asked excitedly

“Yeah I don’t see why not” Liz commented

Kyle threw his bag in the back seat and jumped the door and sat in the driver’s seat. He rubbed his hands over the steering wheel before turning to Liz and telling her to hurry up.

The second Liz was seated Kyle floored it and the tires screeched as he sped off in the direction of the crash down café. Within five, minutes they had arrived and parked out the front

“You got some pretty impressive driving skills there Valenti” Liz pointed out

“I think I’m in love with your car” He stated as they headed inside the crash. That sat in a corner booth and Tess was their waitress.

She brought Liz and Kyle a cherry coke and stated that there food would be out shortly.

“So Liz tell me a bit about yourself” Kyle requested

“Not much to know really. I live by myself, work with my dad at the bank and I used to live in LA” Liz finished with a shrug of her shoulders

“Any reason you don’t live with your dad?” Kyle asked

Liz shook her head “He spent a great deal of my life no where near me. We get along better when we don’t live in close proximity of each other. What about you what do your parents do?”

“No idea. I was found in the desert when I was six. I was fostered for a while before I got emancipated. I live alone as well, well I used to, Max is using my couch at the moment over a fight with his dad”

“Why were you emancipated?” Liz asked

“Hank, the last foster father I had was kinda violent”

“That sounds crappy” Liz said honestly

“Uh listen I have to go” Liz said

“Yeah sure” Kyle said and Liz left.

~

The next morning Liz received a package from Weiss which turned out to be a tracker programmed with the co-ordinates where Kyle, Max and Isabel were found. It was a Saturday therefore no school so Liz put on a small red singlet top and a black denim pair of short shorts before slipping into her running shoes.

She was putting her hair up in a pony tail when she heard a knock at the door.

“Alex? Wasn’t expecting to see you here”

“Yeah I wanted to see if you would like to go to a movie”

“Um, I can’t today I have somewhere to be” She said “Tell ya what, would ya like to borrow my car for today?”

“Really? Alex asked

“Really, really”

“What if I bring it back and its really, really dirty”

“Then I’ll know you had fun” Liz said tossing him the keys, knowing that there was nothing in her car that would jeopardize her secret “I’m going for a run I’ll talk to you when you bring it back”

Liz said as she headed down the steps into her apartment building. Stopping at the bottom to stretch she turned to Alex “I don’t care how dirty it gets as long as it is in one piece when you return it” She winked and then began her run. Once out of sight she took out her tracker and headed in the direction of the co-ordinates Weiss had given her.

Valo

So sorry this took so long guys the story is finished but there were deaths in the family. Anyway i am back now so hopefully you like this part it won't be long till you find out who the Vigilante is


Part 5

The gang was due for a meeting and Tess had talked them all into having it out at the granolith, even though she herself had to work at the crash with Maria.

So Alex had picked up Kyle, Max and Isabel and was on his way to the granolith

“God this is a cool car” Alex muttered to himself

“Alex, why do I get the feeling you are masking your attraction to Liz, by admiring her car” Isabel stated

“Don’t be ridiculous Isabel” Alex hissed

“Ooo could it be that a certain blonde could be grabbing your attention and no longer Liz?” Kyle teased

Alex clenched his jaw “No”

Everyone else in the car laughed as they drew closer to the granolith.

~

Liz jogged her way out of town and off into the middle of the desert getting closer and closer to the co-ordinates that Weiss gave her. After about forty minutes of jogging she found herself at a rather large pile of rocks. She climbed to the top and began to look around when she heard a car approaching.

Ducking out of the way Liz realized that it was her car. Alex and presumably some of the others were headed out here, but why? She stayed out of sight as they pulled up and headed in her direction, they however stopped just below her hiding spot.

“So what's this meeting about?” She heard Kyle ask, he sounded annoyed “Because if you’re going to point out that we are aliens and need to be secretive around Liz again we might as well go home now”

Aliens? He must be out of his mind Liz thought to herself

“Take it easy Kyle I am not playing state the obvious” Liz heard Max say in an authoritive voice “But you know Alex is developing powers and now he is having dreams too”

“Having dreams isn’t an alien thing Max this is” Liz watched as Kyle raised his hand and a near by rock blew up okay my new friends came from another planet I can deal with that Liz thought to herself. After all the things she had learned about Milo Rambaldi this wasn’t as bad as it could be. It was what Kyle said next that really amazed her.

“No but I have been having dreams about a man named Nasedo. It’s a reoccurring dream and Iz dream walked me last night and she thinks its weird too”

“It was weird Kyle, dreams that this guys named Nasedo captures us tortures us and then kills us” Isabel whined

Liz crept backwards quietly and pulled out her cell phone.

She had to make her presence known and she figured the best way would to allow herself to be caught. So she decided to ring Weiss

“Weiss”

“Hey it’s me” Liz said into her phone and could already hear the hushed whispers of the other four

“Hey did you find anything?” Weiss asked

“I know you said they were found out here but there is nothing out here it’s just a big pile of rubble”

“You sound puffed”

“Of course I sound puffed I leant Alex my car so I jogged out here” Liz explained “And don’t worry the first thing I did when I got the car and the apartment was pulse any bugs that might have been in them, no one will be able to track them or know what they are talking about or anything”

“So there’s nothing out there?”

“Nope nothing here” Liz said “Alright I’m gonna go I’ll talk to you soon” Liz hung up and turned around to find the four of them behind her Kyle had his hand pointed towards her

“What’s going on Liz?” He demanded

“Whoah put that thing down, I’m a good guy here” Liz said raising her hands

“Who were you talking to?” He demanded again

“My boss” Liz stated

Kyle slowly lowered his hand. He was about to say something when Liz heard a familiar voice from behind her

“Well, well agent Parker, didn’t expect to see you here”

Liz spun around “Sark” She stated taking a few steps backwards, towards the others “What are you doing here?” She demanded

“I came to collect those standing behind you. The man would like a word with them”

“Too bad! You and your cronies aren’t coming anywhere near any of them” Liz warned gesturing towards the two men accompanying either side of Sark.

“Liz” she heard Kyle from behind her “How bout you stop bad mouthing the bad guys”

“On the contrary Agent Parker. Men” Sark stated chuckling at Kyle’s whisper. He took a step back as the two body guards took a step forward.

“Stay there” Liz said to the others as she prepared herself for a fight.

The guard on the left charged at her first and clumsily attempted to grab her. Liz ducked and punched him in the stomach at the same time. The other guard swung accurately at her face and connected with her jaw. Liz gave a short wail of pain before jumping in the air. She kicked one of the guards in the face and back flipped. Jumping up into the air again and spun kicking that same guard in the face twice before she landed.

“One down one to go” Liz said to herself as the guard fell to the ground with a thud

The remaining guard swung towards her face which Liz was this time able to block with her left hand while punching him in the stomach with her right hand. She dropped and kicked his legs out from under him before swinging her leg down to wind him. He struggled to get up but before he could Tess grabbed his hair with one hand and kneed him in the face effectively breaking his nose and rendering him unconscious.

It was then however that Sark grabbed her around the neck from behind and turned to the others

“Liz!” Alex screamed while taking a step forward; Sark yanked her backwards “I suggest the four of you get into the van at the bottom of this pile of rocks or your friend here might not live to see tomorrow” He warned

“Don’t do it” Liz hissed before Sark pulled out a tazer and stabbed it into her side.

Liz convulsed and screamed in pain when Sark stopped to issue another warning to the others Liz stomped down her left foot onto Sark’s as a distraction before swiftly lifting her right leg to kick him in the face. She spun around and punched him twice before he fell to the ground.

Liz kicked him twice in the stomach before towering over him. Gasping she stated “I…hate…being tazered” She kicked him again before Kyle intervened and pulling her away

“Come on lets get out of here”

“No Kyle, Sark has to be put away he is quite high up on the most wanted list” Liz argued take out her phone about to call Weiss when she heard a gun click from behind her

She slowly turned to see someone she presumed was dead “Derevko?”

“Very good Elizabeth. I however cannot let you hand Sark over to the authorities. Consider yourself lucky that I will be letting you go unharmed and unfollowed”

“And I am supposed to just believe you Mrs. Bristow” Liz stated as Irina stepped forward and hit her in the jaw with the base of her gun

“Believe what you will. But you shall be delivering a message to both your CIA counterparts and Sydney. Obviously I am alive, and I wish to secure a pardon for all of my crimes and all of Mr. Sark’s crimes”

Liz laughed “That would require an awful lot of information on your part” she stressed

“I can guarantee the destruction of the entire alliance, including the man you and Sydney despise so much”

“Sloane” Liz whispered

“Yes. You will also give this letter to Sydney. I wrote it the night I was forced to leave when she was a child. I knew if I left it with her father he would have destroyed it” Irina explained before throwing her a package it contained a letter and a mobile phone

“Leave now, I will be in contact with you”

However before Irina turned to leave Liz pulled out a lighter and set fire to the letter “You’ve caused Sydney enough heartache for one life time” She simply said before Irina raised her gun and shot Liz in the shoulder.

WoW! Thanks so much for the feedback guys! It means so much to me any way i didn't wnat to leave you guys hanging for to long here's the next part

Part 6

Irina left promptly with the two bodyguards carrying an unconscious Sark as Liz dropped to her knees. It felt as if her arm had been cut off. Although thankfully she had been trained to block out pain and she could somewhat ignore it as she struggled to stand up.

“Liz!” Alex yelled the first one to come out of the daze from processing what had just happened in front of them

She ignored him however and walked down the cliff face to her car and popped open the boot. She took out a first aid kit and began patching up what she could. She couldn’t help but feel pissed off that everyone else was still having an argument on top of the rock pile.

They started making their way down to where Liz was attempting to patch her self up still arguing. Liz, whose eyes were watering now from the pain took a gun out of a hidden compartment and fired it into the air.

Isabel screamed while, Alex, Max and Kyle ducked

“Look I really couldn’t care less where you guys came from but I have a piece of metal in my arm and I am bleeding so either someone help me or drive me back into town to someone who will!”

“Liz um Max can heal that for you, being an alien and all” Isabel mumbled

“No he can’t because certain bad guys gave it to me, forget it just all of you get in the car. Now” She ordered as they complied she got into the drivers seat

Alex however grabbed her good arm and pulled her out of the car “Hold still” He said before pulling out a pocket knife and removing the bullet. Kyle handed him the first aid kit and Alex bandaged her arm as best he could

“Liz, listen-” Alex began only to be cut off

“Save it. You don’t care and neither do I” She spat and the trip back to her apartment was spent in silence

~

Meanwhile at the crash down Tess and Maria were on a break. They were in the break room discussing Liz, with Alex who had gone straight to the crash after the meeting

“She can’t be trusted Alex!” Tess wailed

“I think she can be” He countered

“Look she has no record; she is always disappearing for days and returning with bruises on her face, not to mention she is a bitch. And you saw how she acted when she saw Kyle’s birthmark! The whole thing screams government”

“You think she’s working for the government?” Alex asked

“Well it would explain a lot”

“Even if she is I’m sure is trustworthy”

“Oh that can’t be proven” Tess scoffed

“It can actually I hacked into Credit Dauphines LA computers she is on file it’s just restricted. Look if you are that convinced she is untrustworthy I’ll help you look into it because she is hiding something”

“That’s good enough” Tess said wrapping an arm around Alex.

~

Liz arrived at her apartment quickly and found she was becoming dizzy.

“My god what happened?” Sydney asked as Liz burst through the front door

“I was shot, I need you to check the bandaging I am feeling pretty dizzy” Liz pointed out

“Alright hold on” Sydney said as she removed the bandaging

“Syd, I’m sorry to be the one to tell you this, but your mother isn’t dead” Liz began

“What” Syd asked with a crestfallen look on her face

“She’s alive Syd” Liz mumbled “She and Sark think they can get a pardon by taking down the entire alliance. She had a letter she wrote when she left you. I was hoping to save you some pain so I burnt it and then she shot me. We need to talk the CIA, Weiss is in Moscow so at least you’ll be able to talk to Vaughan” She muttered

“Thanks for trying Liz. I’ll um I’ll call him and check in on you in a few hours” Sydney said not really concentrating as she left Liz lying on her couch

~

Sydney called and arranged for a meeting with Vaughan in their old meeting place in the bottom of an old underground car park that had been shutdown.

She had tried but she couldn’t stop her eyes watering, her mother was still alive. Syd couldn’t believe it. She wiped at her face when she heard a car approaching although she new it would still look as if she had been crying.

“Hi Vaughan” Syd started feebly when he walked up to her

“Hey, it’s good to see you again, I uh missed you”

“How’s Alice?” She asked trying not to sound bitter

“I don’t know, we uhh broke up I haven’t spoken to her for a while. Listen I know I said that I couldn’t see you anymore but”

“My mother is alive” Syd cut him off

“What?!”

“She is alive, working with Sark, and she shot Liz” Syd breathed

“Oh god Syd” Vaughan whispered pulling her into a hug “Is she alright?”

“Yeah, she lost a fair amount of blood but she’ll be ok” Syd sobbed into his shirt

“Syd this might not be appropriate timing but I have to tell you something before I loose the nerve” Vaughan began

Sydney pulled back and looked him in the eye

“I know I said I couldn’t see you again, but I have to take that back, I miss you so much, I need to have you in my life…Please” Vaughan finished looking up in time to see Sydney throw her arms around his neck and kiss him with everything she had

He returned the kiss and even given everything that had happened at that moment they were both happy

~

Liz didn’t wake up until the next morning. She was on Sydney’s couch and alone. Remembering it was Saturday she headed into shower before packing to go on the mission to acquire the Echelon program before Sark could get his hands on it.

~

Liz and Sydney’s mission went off with out a hitch. They successfully stopped Sark from gaining access to echelon and returned two days later. They had punched each other a couple of times to make it look like there was a struggle; their counter mission was to destroy the program rather than bring it back to Sloane.

As Liz walked into her apartment she gave a yelp of surprise upon finding Weiss waiting in her living room.

“What are you doing here? What if they are having the apartment watched?” Liz questioned

“It’s Alex”

“What happened?” She demanded

“Sydney and Jeff are in a meeting about this echelon thing. He looked into your background again, Sloane ordered him killed. Last I heard he was heading for the roof of the car park in-”

“Put this on and get in the car” Liz ordered throwing a balaclava at Weiss.

Within moments they were headed towards the car park at a great speed. Liz was driving and Weiss was sitting in the back seat. Liz only hoped they got there in time

Hey guys sorry it took so long but i'm posting 2 parts to make up for it and i can tell you that in part eleven we find out who the vigilante is


Part 7

“Tess, why are men with guns trying to kill us?” Alex asked as he ducked behind a car

“Because we know something we shouldn’t either that or they are fed’s” Tess deduced “I knew she couldn’t be trusted”

“Sshh there is another car coming” Alex said as they stood still being careful to stay out of sight

Tess saw Liz’s car and grabbed Alex on the arm. “It’s her don’t move”

“That’s right don’t move” A gruff male voice said from their left.

They slowly turned to be staring down the barrel of a .22 “Any last words?” the man asked smiling evilly

However at that moment they heard a gun shot and turned to see Liz pointing a gun in their direction “Get in!” She yelled before the back windshield was shot causing it to shatter.

They ran forward Tess getting in the front seat and Alex in the back. They were shot at some more as Liz began to speed away “Shit they’re following us” Liz commented “Here” Liz said handing the gun to Tess

“Are you serious?” Tess screeched

“Fine you ready back there Weiss?” Liz asked.

“Do your thing” Weiss said pulling out a gun

Liz slammed on the brakes and turned the steering wheel sharply to the left.

As the car spun both she and Weiss leant out the window and each shot one of the men in the other car. Liz kept her car spinning until it had spun 360 degrees before she continued driving out of the car park. After driving down many side streets and being sure they weren’t being followed they headed to an old quarry where they would be able to talk.

They all got out of the car and Liz was the first to ask questions.

“Why were they after you?” She demanded looking at Tess

“Because we were trying to find out more info about you” Tess spat

“Liz who do you work for” Alex asked quietly

“What?”

“I know Tess is CIA. So who do you work for?”

Liz ignored Alex’s question and turned to Tess “You told him!?” she was furious

“Of course I did he is my best friend. I was honest with him which is more than I can say for you” Tess couldn’t say anything else because Liz had punched her

Weiss, took of the balaclava restrained Liz while Alex did the same with Tess.

“What's going on?” Alex demanded

Liz again ignored him and focused on Tess “You complete fuck up. What is the one rule at SD-6? Huh? Huh? Keep what you do secret, from everyone!” Liz stated before continuing “Sydney Bristow was working for Sloane for seven years before Danny proposed to her. She told him the truth and came home to find her apartment ransacked and her fiancé dead in their bathtub.”

“What does that-?”

“Danny’s murder was at the order of Sloane.”

Tess gasped. Alex scoffed “How do we know you are telling the truth?”

“Alex your right. In Tess’s eyes I can’t be trusted. I am a double agent, but I work for the CIA. SD-6 is part of the alliance of twelve”

“HA! Now I know you’re making things up” Tess laughed

“Alex look, I am being secured here by your uncle, do you honestly think he would lie to you?” Liz asked “He is my handler at the CIA. That night he came to pick up one of your scramblers he was passing Intel on to me”

“Uncle Eric?” Alex asked

“Everything Liz has just said is true” Weiss explained

“I still don’t-”

“Oh for crying out loud Tess I saw you in Sloane’s office. My colleagues and I checked your file; I knew everything about you before we even met”

“What happens now?” Tess asked still having trouble coming to terms with what she had just found out.

At that moment another car pulled up

“Don’t worry its Vaughan” Weiss stated

“Asshole” Liz muttered to herself. Vaughan had called off any contact he may have with Sydney. His girlfriend’s father died and he couldn’t bring himself to break up with her. Weiss was now also Sydney’s handler and Sydney was heart broken. Liz was unaware of the meeting they had earlier

“To answer your question Tess, you will go with Weiss and Vaughan. They’ll take a statement and you can either become a double agent or a mole”

“Just like that?”

“Pretty much”

Tess complied and got in the car Weiss turned to Alex “Who do you want a ride home with Alex?”

“You” he stated before turning to Liz “You lied to me. Don’t ever talk to me again” He stated before walking off and getting into Vaughan’s car

“Liz you’ll have to follow us and be there when Tess gives her statement” Weiss called out

“I’m going to see Sloane” She called back furiously before getting in her car and speeding off.

~

She headed straight for Sloane’s office and when he wasn’t there she headed for the meeting room. Sure enough he was half way through a meeting with Jeff, Sydney, Marshall and Dixon.

“Agent Parker I wasn’t expecting you in this evening. Agent Bristow has brought us what’s left of the program-” Sloane was cut off when Liz grabbed him around the neck and holding him against a wall

“With the exception of the four others in this room I am your most important asset!” Liz began furiously “If you ever so much as think about killing one of my friends again, DON’T think I’ll hesitate to kill you” She finished before leaving as suddenly as she had entered

~
Liz drove home in the rain and was soaked by the time she walked through her front door. She went to bed feeling utterly depressed. The one person who had been nice to her from the start now never wanted to speak to her again.

She was barely home five minutes when she heard a knock on her door “Kyle” she mumbled

“Hey” he mumbled

“Come in” Liz said getting out of the way.

“I just came by to let you know that I still trust you, I uh figure you’ll need a friend after what happened”

“Oh, thanks Kyle. That means a lot” Liz stated

“Alright well I’ll leave you to it”

“You might as well stay the night, you’ll catch something if you ride your bike home now” She pointed out

Kyle accepted her invitation and spent the night on Liz’s couch
____________________________________
Elf

Part 8

That morning every body in their group had French in the same class and Liz couldn’t even laugh at the tension between them.

The whole group obviously needed to have some sort of meeting to get everything out in the open. They all seemed scared that Liz was going to say something to one of her bosses.

“Liz! Are you paying any attention what so ever?” The teacher demanded

“No” Liz replied when she looked up

“Well then perhaps you can conjugate the verb on the board” The teacher asked smugly

Liz rolled her eyes and did as was requested before requesting, in fluent French “Please don’t disturb my daydreams for such medial tasks as conjugating verbs”

By the time it was recess Liz was bored and dreading the confrontation with the others which she knew was inevitable.

She headed out to where they sat at the bleachers and saw that not everybody was there yet, then she was approached by Alex

“Hey Liz, um look I’m sorry for how I acted other night. Tess explained some stuff and although I don’t like the fact you lied to me I at least understand why you did”

“I’m sorry Alex” Liz said before taking a seat

“Can I ask though what did you do to Tess? Cause even before you punched her she was…I don’t know it’s like she hates you” Alex stated

“Yeah well I tend to get that” Liz pointed out somberly

As everyone arrived Max cleared his throat “Uh I think we all need to talk”

“That we do Max. Why were you guys meeting in the middle of the desert” Liz asked getting straight to the point

“You know we could ask you the same thing” Maria pointed out in her usual snobbish self

“I got shot trying to keep you guys safe so you can go first” Liz spat back

“Take it easy Liz. That pile of rocks is our spaceship, it also where we were hatched” Michael explained

“Hatched? Funky” Liz said with a nod of her head

“And you were out there because?” Isabel asked

“I have seen Kyle’s birthmark before. I can’t say how just yet because my boss would probably kill you if he found out you were looking into this guy. But I had my CIA handler, Alex’s uncle, Weiss, ran a check on Michael. Weiss told me that the three of you didn’t exist until you were six years old and found in the desert. He gave me the coordinates and I went for a jog”

“You were running checks on me?” Kyle asked obviously angry

“I had to. It will all be explained in due time” Liz said avoiding eye contact. At that moment her beeper was going off

“I have to go there is a meeting with the bad guys I don’t want to arouse suspicions I’ll talk to you guys later” Liz said and abruptly left , heading into Credit Dauphine presumably to go on another mission.

~

And another mission it was. Liz and Sydney were required to go to a heavy metal club in Germany to obtain a key. For what Sloane was not sure, but given it bore the symbol of Rambaldi, Sloane wanted it.

“He’s here” Syd said as their target entered through a door to the left

Liz lured him into a corner before spraying a small amount of tranquilizer knocking him out. She removed the key from around his neck and discovered it was similar to a long crystal.

She was about to make her exit when she felt a gun get pressed into her back “Walk into the corridor agent Parker”

“What do you want Sark?” Liz said slipping the crystal down her top and out of sight, thankfully Sark didn’t realize yet.

“I wish to discuss Irena’s so called plan to overthrow the entire alliance”

“Let me guess, she’s bad and you wanna play good guy” Liz mocked

“Why you do catch on quickly don’t you” Sark retorted “That’s exactly the case. I will be in contact regarding your end, but obviously I am expected to prove my self. A young male, your age, is the only descendant of Milo Rambaldi who is alive, a friend of yours actually. Irina’s men managed to capture him and she ordered him dead.

I however will be turning him over to you, alive” Sark stated

“Not killing someone does and will not make me trust you” Liz pointed out

“That is a true statement agent Parker, but when you see who this person is, it will help. Third door on the right, down the hall” Sark stated before Liz heard Sydney screaming in her ear

“I’ve lost visual. Liz where are you!”

“I’m talking to Sark, I’m fine and he leaves unharmed, I’ll explain later” Liz said into her ear piece

“Your friend has been given some rather powerful tranquilizers, he won’t awake for a few hours” Sark pointed out before quickly taking his leave

Liz waited a moment and followed soon after. She found the room down the hall and gasped loudly when she saw who it was that was Rambaldi’s descendant.

It was Alex.

Hey guys Just letting you know Alex being the decendant of rambaldi won't have anything to do with the story. But i love you feed back and the next part (after this one) is when you'll find out who the vigilante is so any guesses?

Part 9

“It’s Weiss’s Nephew!!” Liz hissed on the flight home. Alex was still knocked out and Sydney was furious Liz let Sark leave unharmed

“What?”

“The last Rambaldi descendant. Alex’s parents are dead and Weiss was related to his mother. Unless Alex has kids, he is the last living relative of one Milo Rambaldi. Sark kept him alive so I let him go” Liz reasoned

“Fine” Sydney stated, knowing she was letting her hatred for Sark interfere with her judgment

A few moments later they heard a moan coming from Alex’s direction

“Alex” Liz muttered as she ran to his side “Are you okay?” She asked

“Alex stretched his arms above his head before replying “I’m fine actually”

“Alright Alex I need to know every single little thing that happened everything that was said, any little detail…What happened with that British guy” Sydney asked getting straight to the point

“Um, Julian? Thank god he was there, some beef headed guy drugged me and then your mum tried to get some information out of me” Alex said glancing at Syd. “They were about to beat it out of me when Sark turned up and wanted to take me somewhere to torture and kill me. Once we were away from, where ever they had me, he explained that he knew I was a friend of Liz’s and that he would return me to you, so to speak. So he gave me the drugs to knock me out and then I woke up about fifteen minutes ago” Alex explained

Liz turned to Sydney “Is there anyway Sark could have brainwashed him or hypnotized him?”

“It’s possible but highly doubtful” Syd replied “Listen I don’t think anyone should know about what Sark is doing, not Sloane or Kendall”

“No your right, if they ask any questions, I was attacked by a couple of guards and took longer than usual” Liz suggested

“You do realize it doesn’t look like it” Sydney pointed out

“Yeah I know, you’ll have to”

Sydney sighed “Only once” She stated before swinging hard at Liz’s jaw

“Holy shit! What are you doing?” Alex screeched

“Alex” Liz began “If our story is to be believable there will need to be some hard evidence that we were attacked. Because if Sloane gets his hands on you Sark won’t be there to stop the torture” Liz pointed out

“I say we didn’t find a key either. We give that to the CIA” Syd suggested

“What key?” Alex asked, intrigued

“This” Liz began removing the crystal from her top

“It looks like something alien” Alex pointed out

“What?” Both girls asked

“Max had a key similar to that to start the granolith. I don’t know the details but he use the key he had to send some backstabbing evil alien princess Courtney, back to their home planet. The keys act as a power source, that’s about all I know. Might be an idea to give that to Max” Alex suggested

“Screw Max I’ll give it to Kyle, everybody trusts him” Liz pointed out

“Tess need I remind you the circumstances in which we acquired that ‘key’” Sydney stated

“Sydney, at least three of my friends are from another planet, they get the key. CIA asks there was no key” Liz stated matter-of-factly as the plane begun to land “We’ll distract them with finding out who this guy is who keeps helping me out” she muttered

~

“The guy in black as you call him” Ed began in his usual business drone “Has been helping the CIA for 3 years” he pointed out “Usually helping you Liz” he added sounding disappointed

“You know I don’t need him” Liz spat “Fucker just turns up anyway” She added under her breath

“His work is impressive, though we’ve no idea where he gets his Intel to find where we’re going all the time. You would think him a pain in the ass Liz as do I, Kendall however feels he should be recruited to officially work for the CIA”

“HA! Having said that I’ll bet money that its Bumani” Liz chuckled

“Either way if you ever wind up being saved by him again, find out his name” Ed sighed, sounding very bored

~

That night Liz decided to go out for a jog, attempting to remember if the ‘guy’ had any distinguishing traits. She continued running and turned down and alleyway to get home quicker when a hand shot out of the dark and grabbed her wrist.

“What the?” She mumbled to herself upon discovering that the grip on her arm had immediately loosened. After a moment Sark stepped out from the shadows

“Good evening Elizabeth” He began

“Man, call me Liz” She sounded slightly disgusted of her name “Now what do you want” she demanded

“To discuss our deal, regarding the removal of Irina, the alliance and my pardon agreement” he stated smugly

“Oh really?”

“Yes. In three days there will be an exchange between the ever famous Mr. Bumani and a Juan Grae. Grae is developing a drug that is four times as addictive as cocaine. Bumani will be buying a large sample of the drug to be sold on the streets of this country. I can give you exact details but you may need to trust me”

At this point Liz had had enough and she pulled out her gun. “Now why would I want to do that” She questioned aiming the gun at his head

In one swift movement, Sark grabbed Liz and spun her around. With one hand on the trigger and one hand against her stomach keeping her steady he fired one shot at a man about to shoot her. Sark then lent in so his lips were almost brushing against Liz’s ear “In a world where people are trying to kill you, trust is important” He whispered before slowly creeping away, letting his hand slide across her stomach.

Liz couldn’t believe it; Sark had just saved her life. Her hand slowly rose up to her stomach before she turned to find Sark, gone. “Fuck!” She yelled before heading back to the apartment

“Liz he would have set that up” Syd argued as they were on their way into the real CIA office

“That’s what I though but”

“But, But Liz its Sark, there is no but”

“We’ll see” Liz muttered

~

“Well Mr. Grae is going to be in Peru that night, where did you get your Intel?” Vaughan asked as he was preparing them to go to Peru

“You don’t wanna know” Sydney pointed out

Moments later it was 1900 hours, a time scheduled for Sark to call with details of the drug sale. And as if on cue Liz’s phone began to ring at precisely 7 o'clock.

“Gimme details and make em good” Liz stated as she answered her phone

“Now, now agent Parker, have some manners” Sark mocked

“When do you care about manners, you just kill everyone anyway” Liz pointed out with a scoff

“On the contrary ‘Liz’ I kill those who are first attempting to kill me, I have killed far less than even your CIA would have you believe” Sark sounding rather angry

“Yeah, take it easy. Do you have the details?” Liz asked surprised at his swift temper

“The trade will be made in an abandoned warehouse. Text book stuff really. Grae arrives first Bumani arrives with the money and then they swap briefcases before heading in their separate directions. Naturally each will have numerous ‘bodyguards’ hiding where the other can’t see them”

“What about security systems?” Liz asked

“Very little if anything, you will have the schematics of the building before you plane leaves” Sark pointed out before abruptly hanging up

“Well?” Syd asked when Liz turned back to face them

“In half an hour I am going home to pack. In the mean time I want to know every thing there is to know about Sark”

Sorry bout the wait guys but you finally get to know what i know the vigilante is....

Part 10

“Why do you want to know that?” Vaughan asked

“I know very little about him. Except that he is a bad guy. I want to know why. Is it because of him or who he works for, is it what he’s done or what he’s witnessed” Liz explained

“Mostly, his bosses and what he’s witnessed but he has killed in cold blood quite often” Vaughan pointed out “You can see his file if you want”

They headed towards a computer with access to the main frame and Vaughan pulled up Sark’s file. After a short moment of skimming over the information Liz gave a short chuckle “When was the last time this was updated? According to this he turns 22 at the end of the year”

“That’s because he does turn twenty two at the end of the year. One of the reasons he is considered such a criminal is because he knows so much about the KGB” Vaughan explained

“So one of America’s enemies is a 21 year old British guy?” Liz rolled her eyes “Right, well I am gonna go pack for Peru, I’ll see you at the plane in an hour and a half” Liz said to Sydney while glancing at her watch.

Liz walked into her apartment and began getting the few things she would need to take with her, packed into a suitcase.

“I brought you the schematics as promised”

“SHIT” Liz screeched

“Very vulgar language there Miss Parker” Sark chuckled

“Why do you always creep up on me and scare the hell out of me?” She asked

“Well why do you think so Miss Parker?”

“Well personally I think it gives you a hard on” Liz muttered as she went back to packing

“And how would you feel if that was the case” Sark replied, obviously joking. Liz chuckled

“So, your file says you are only twenty one. Who the hell did you kill to become so evil?” Liz questioned

“I killed three agents on my first mission. Ever since then I have taken some part in almost every KGB event. Your people simply presume that all I do is kill people” Sark explained sounding almost disappointed

“I wouldn’t call them ‘my’ people. Now get out” She ordered

Sark raised his right eyebrow before leaving Liz’s apartment as asked. Liz showered and grabbed her bag and the schematics before heading to the airport to meet up with Sydney.

~

While on the plane they looked over the warehouses security system, which wasn’t much. It was indeed an abandoned warehouse and apart from sensors on the conventional entries there was nothing the girls would need to worry about.

Once it was dark, half an hour before the meeting was about to take place Sydney and Liz scaled the walls of the warehouse until they reached the roof. Quietly climbing down the vent system they exited the warehouse through a grate in the basement.

“Look” Liz said when she noticed a somewhat hidden doorway

“It leads straight out side” Sydney pointed out after closer inspection

“Might be an idea to remember that as an escape route” Liz pointed out

Sydney nodded and after slipping on balaclavas they headed upstairs.

Moments later Sydney turned to Liz “Right we’ll split up, keep in touch over the radio. As for the mission you know what to do. Bumani and his men do not get that drug.”

“Easier said than done given they’ll have this entire place crawling with lackeys” Liz pointed out as she activated her earpiece and headed off in the opposite direction to Sydney

About ten minutes later Grae had arrived.

“He’s got four men with him.” Liz heard Sydney say through her earpiece.

Liz and Sydney remained out of sight while Grae’s men got into position. About five minutes later Bumani arrived, with two men by his side and two more, stealthy creeping inside unnoticed.

They were about to swap cases when Bumani’s men opened fire. Two of his own men were shot in the process but all of Grae’s men, including Grae, were now dead.

Obviously Bumani came planning to leave with both the drugs and the money.

“Liz move now!” Syd shot through the earpiece before firing a small harpoon out of a cross bow into the case with the drugs.

Liz shot the two men either side of Bumani before Sydney pulled on the rope attached to the briefcase.

“Make for the exit Liz” Sydney ordered and as they headed towards the exit they did not realize that Bumani had another three men hiding in the warehouse.

“Liz I am out side. I’ll meet you at the hotel” Sydney reported. Kendall had ordered whoever had gotten the case with the drugs to go straight to the hotel.

Liz was 3 feet from the door when a fist hit her jaw and knocked her over. One of Bumani’s men picked her up and carried her over to an office at the end of the warehouse before throwing her inside. As she was being thrown Liz noticed that the room was next to the basement door where she and Sydney had entered.

She was thrown against a wall before being punched twice in the stomach. Liz’s hands were tied and then the rope was placed onto a hook hanging down from the ceiling, holding her hands above her head.

Bumani backhanded Liz’s face before leaning in close “One must wonder how the CIA new about this drug bust” he stated

Liz remained silent

“Staying silent? No matter, we’ve already caught him” Bumani pointed out before yelling something to his men.

Moments later the doors to the small room flew open and two lackeys walked in carrying a very limp body. Liz immediately recognized him as the guy in black. She could tell that the lackeys had been beating him quite severely. He was picked up and thrown in to a chair next to Liz.

“Did you honestly think you would get away with this?” Bumani spat at the guy

One of the lackeys punched him again in the stomach before the other pulled out a knife. Liz had begun to get through the rope binding her hands by rubbing it against the hook. She watched as the second lackey used the knife to slice through the black top and then the balaclava. Liz finally knew who this mystery man was.

Her eyes popped out of her head as she saw who it was. He was severely bruised, bleeding, and almost unconscious but there was no mistaking it.

It was Sark.
