Chapter 2~Revelations
Room 412 was abuzz with doctors and nurses as the man awoke. He blinked his eyes trying to identify his surroundings.
"Wh--Where am I...?" He said slowly.
"A hospital in Los Angeles. Sir, can you tell us your name?" One doctor asked.
"No. I dont remember." He frowned. "Why can't I remember?"
"There was an explosion. You survived it but you must have developed amnesia." The doctor explained.
"Oh. Yes, I suppose I must have." He said, trying to remember.
"Just relax. Most of the time, memory returns in time. Just focus on your recovery."

"Well?" Sydney Vaughn said impatiently. "Anything?"
"Actually, if I trace the location of the call to the nearest cell tower and then route it through the system I can get some basic coordinates. I have a new program, its awesome. You take the..." Marshall drifted off as he saw Syd's glare. "Right, okay. The call came from-Tehran. A charter jet, probably from the nearest airport. I'm printing out the number now." He handed the number to Sydney.
Sydney dialed the number. She spoke fluent Arabic and asked about a recent charter jet departure. She found out that the ATC had lost contact with the jet just above Tehran.
"Great." Sydney thanked them and hung up. Well, we have a place to start. Looks like we are going to Tehran. We will need all the help we can get. I'm going to go find Rachel."

The mystery woman looked at the blonde woman. "Well, well, your little friends are headed our way. What do you say we welcome them?" She grinned evilly.
The blonde replied. "I think that's brilliant. Of course, the real genius was rerouting Irina Derevko's cell phone call."
The mystery woman smiled. "Thanks. Poor Ms. Derevko and Mr. Bristow. They don't stand a chance. It's a shame really. Such brilliance wasted. But we gave them the chance to join us. Rico is supposed to call me once they are...disposed of."
The blonde grinned. "Good. I await his call."

Rachel was tapping her pen against her desk. She sat back lost in thought. She hated writing her thoughts down on paper. But, the staff psychiatrist she was being forced to see said it would give her clarity. Whatever that is. Sydney walked in.
"Rachel! I need your help!"
"Okay...?"
"We're going to Tehran."
"What's the mission?"
"Rescue my parents."
Rachel looks at her shocked.

At Los Angeles International Airport, the jet is being fueled. Vaughn is talking to Air Traffic Control via the radio. Rachel and Sydney are on board. Sydney checks their equipment and makes sure all weapons are fully loaded.
"Dixon and Weiss will meet us there. Marshall will be tech support. All systems are operational. Lift off is in 10 minutes." Vaughn explained.
Sydney nodded. She looks over at Rachel, concerned. "You okay?"
Rachel nods silently. "Yes. It's just...how did they survive?"
"I dont know." Sydney responded. "Rachel...."
"Don't Syd. I'm ok"
Sydney sighed and decided not to push her. She'd talk when she was ready. She turned to Vaughn. "I'm all set. Weapions are loaded."
"Okay, I will give the pilot the all clear."

Jack Bristow moaned as he grabbed his pounding head. He looked around. Where was Irina? He tried to speak but nothing came out. Irina saw him move and spoke.
"Jack?"
"Uhhhh..." Was all he could manage.
She sat up so she could see his face. "Oh, Jack!!"
He tried to smile and sit up. She saw a purple bruise covering his eye and jaw. She gently touched his face.
"Darling, we will get out of this. We will. Sydney knows we're alive. She will save us."
"Uhhhhhhh" Is all that escapes as he passes out again.

Back at the hospital...
John Doe sat up in his bed eating Jello. He sat still trying to remember. Flashes was all he had. Quick, vague flashes was all. A woman, blonde, pretty. He couldnt see her face but she was so familiar. He remembered this feeling. Was it love? He didnt know. But he wanted it back.
