The Agent

	Chapter 1 Release Date: 10 and 13 February 2009 Rachel Mills has been hired to work for Nathan. She looks at a battered Tracy and recounts how the day went. She had been broken the field training record and was congratulated by Moore, when Gibson showed up and asked her about what happened in Iran. However, their team is called in to recapture all the detainees of the Flight 195 crash at the crash site. While doing so, Gibson is influenced by someone to betray the team, but is killed by Danko.
	Chapter 2 Release Date: 17 and 20 February 2009 Still remorseful over Gibson's death, Rachel Mills suffers bad dreams during her job as an agent. She is assigned a new partner; and Danko has her check out a few websites. After finding some strange barcodes on these websites, she contacts her buddy, Volts, a hacker, to help decode the barcodes. Volts tells Rachel that the bar codes contain the message, "Stop this, Rachel." However, suddenly, the lights go out and Rachel's communication with Volts is lost. She gets text messages from Rebel, who proves to know what Rachel can do by sending Rachel a video file of her at Pinehearst. In additional text messages, Rebel warns Rachel not to tell Danko what she just found--that she knows what will happen if she does. Rebel also text messages Rachel that he needs her to do something.
	Chapter 3 Release Date: 24 and 27 February 2009 Rachel is constantly receiving text messages from Rebel, and she does her best to try not to make Danko and her partner, Jason, suspicious. Danko gives her and Jason the assignment of capturing Alex in Costa Verde. Rachel and Jason head around the city, investigating Alex's abandoned car, and then heading on to the beach. Alex's surfing companions point Rachel in the direction of Liliane, an informant. Finally, Rachel and Jason head to Alex's apartment, where they find a laptop. However, Rebel, who has been warning Rachel to back off during the entire operation, deletes all the files on the laptop. When Rachel gets to the payphone where she is about to phone Danko to tell him that Claire is involved in Alex's escapes, Alex's father, Dave Woolsly, shows up and points a gun to Rachel's head, asking her what she's doing to his son. When Rachel tries to get away, Dave points a shotgun at her. Just then, a city-wide blackout occurs, and Rachel teleports to the rooftop of the building, away from the danger of Dave's shotgun.
	Chapter 4 Release Date: 3 and 6 March 2009 Rachel awakes in a motel, having had nightmares again. She and Jason eat bagels and then head to the Bennet house to investigate Claire. They enter the house and are confronted by Claire and Sandra, but they find no evidence that Alex is there. When they leave, Sandra and Lyle throw them off the track. Rebel then messages Rachel again, giving her an encoded message. Jason cannot understand the message, but Rebel tells Rachel to break each line at 60 characters, revealing an ASCII image of Eric Doyle.
	Chapter 5 Release Date: 10 and 13 March 2009 Rachel has several mysterious dreams, inside which her mother, Leona, is mentioned. Back in real life, Rachel chases Eric Doyle up an alley, but Doyle manages to take control of her. The glare in the background prevents Doyle from recognizing Rachel as the person who rescued him the last time they met. However, Doyle does not kill her and instead flings her into a brick wall.
	Chapter 6 Release Date: 17 March 2009 Jason, having discovered Rachel's ability during a botched mission, confronts Rachel about it. Jason has his sister, Janey, help him, but in the end, he is overpowered by a mysterious young blonde girl.
