MICHAEL:

Michael was watching the recruits as they were learning how to assemble a gun in under 60 seconds. He' d been having one of those weeks where he was wondering if this was all his life was going to give him. Work, sleep, train the recruits, kill, debrief, sleep, work some more. He was grateful that Division had saved him and had given him a new chance at life, but he just couldn't help but wonder if he would ever be happy again. Suddenly, Michael's train of thoughts were interrupted by one of the guards.

'Sir, Percy wants you to report in his office.' Percy's second in command turned his attention away from the recruits and started walking towards his boss' office. He didn't bother to knock before entering, since Percy was already expecting him, and went straight into the cold, big room. Percy was standing in his office and looking at the monitor in the center of the room. When he heard the door open, he turned away from the screen and saw Michael.

'Michael, I am so glad you could join me. Please do be seated, and before you ask what this is all about let me just explain.'

Michael did as he was asked but he wasn't fooled by Percy's civilization, on the contrary he was on high alert. After many years of experience Michael knew that whatever Percy was about to tell him next was huge, possibly dangerous, and very illegal. But he could have never predicted what Percy was about to say next.

'Michael, you have always been a great asset to me which is why I want you involved in one of the most important, biggest missions Division has ever known. As you're well aware I have created several black boxes over the years and I think it's about time that they come to good use.'

'Sir?'

'Do you know what would happen if information from one of these little baby's would be, let's say, leaked into the outside world?'

Michael couldn't believe what he was hearing but was able to keep his stoic expression.

'The country would never recover, Percy. That intel could very easily start World War 3 and you know it.'

'Exactly, Michael. I knew you would get it. Now next question, what would the government do to prevent such a thing from happening?' Percy's smile had evil mastermind written all over it and was also all it took for Michael to put all of the pieces together. Michael's facial expression got even more emotionless and his voice was as cold as the room he was in when he answered:

'Are you asking me to help you take down the government?' His anger was starting to show.

'DINGDINGDING- Yes Michael, Yes. That's EXACTLY what I am asking you. So what do you say? Are you in or are you … out?' The way Percy said that last word sent shivers up to Michael's spine. He knew that Percy was not really giving him a choice and for a fraction of a second Michael's hand twisted towards his gun. Even though he was boiling on the inside, on the outside Michael looked as if he was considering Percy's offer. But he was really just thinking about his life and the fact that there was nothing left to lose. Michael wasn't the kind of man that betrayed his country, but, he was someone who stuck to his loyalties and his loyalties were with Division. After a moment of

silence Michael spoke: 'What do you want me to do?'

Michael's instructions were very clear. He' d be going undercover as senator Mears' personal bodyguard. Part one of the assignment was to get the senator to trust him and part two was to get him on Divisions side. After going over every single detail for at least three times, Michael finally got out of Division, into his car and drove straight home. Tomorrow would be his first day undercover and he could use as much sleep as he could get.

NIKITA

'AHH!' Nikita grunted as she fell on the floor. 'Jeez Owen, you sure don't give a girl a break do you?' Even though her statement was a joke Owen knew that a part of her meant it. He offered her his hand and pulled her up. Owen grinned at her comment and said:

'You were the one who wanted to learn how to fight. But honestly Nikita, you've been holding out on me. You nearly beat me this time.' Still a bit out of breath Nikita laughed at what Owen had just said.

'Well, ever since I've started taking classes, other than the ones I get from you, I've felt more confident with my fighting skills to be honest. One day, I'm not even going to need you anymore' she teased him and walked towards the kitchen to get some water. Owen chuckled at her joke and started wandering through the room. Even though what Nikita had said might very well be true, Owen knew that he would never leave Nikita. He will always guard her and make sure that no one could ever hurt her. They were inseparable. They were each other's best friends, brother and sister, and most important they were each other's support. Nikita didn't see Owen as her bodyguard but as a friend that would never leave her side. And Owen didn't see Nikita, or her family for that matter, as a way to earn money, but as his own family. The family he never had. She was his little sister and Seymour was the nerdy brother.

Owen was admiring the training room that he and Nikita had 'created' throughout the years. He was standing on a huge, blue sparring mat which was in the center of the room. One side of the room was used for yoga and had a giant window and light colors were used, and the other side of the room was used for fitness equipment. When Nikita returned from the kitchen, she saw that Owen was deep in thought and decided that this was the perfect opportunity for her to pay Owen back for earlier. She snuck up towards where Owen was standing, and with one quick move she tackled him to the floor. Owens expression was so funny that Nikita couldn't help but laugh and fall down next to him.

MICHAEL

Michael drove up on the driveway from senator Mears house. His first impression was that the house was pretty much as he expected. A big white house with an Hispanic vibe and the garden was full of flowers. But as he got closer the details showed that the people who lived in this house had put a lot of love and thought in it. Michael could tell just by looking at the house and garden that they were a loving and kind family. He felt a pang of jealousy and guilt go through him. Jealousy because this was the kind of life he had always wanted to have and guilt because he was about to take all of this away from them. Michael got out of his car and was immediately welcomed by a man he recognized as senator Mears. The man was about 5 feet 11 tall and was strongly built. He had dark brown eyes and his hair was just a tint darker.

'You must be Michael, thank you so much for coming.'

He offered to shake hands and Michael replied by taking the senators hand and shaking it while saying:

'– It's an honor sir.' Michael didn't just say that, he meant it. Focus Michael, he told himself, you're here for a Division assignment and you can't be distracted.

'Why thank you,' senator Mears replied 'why don't we go to my office where we can talk a bit more privately'

'Of course sir.'

As they entered the house Michael couldn't believe his eyes. He'd expected the hallway to be... well he didn't really know what he expected but certainly not this. The hallway was very modern chic and yet again there were those personal touches of warmth in the decoration. There were two big paintings that Michael thought were the central pieces of the room. Both paintings were obviously drawn by kids not older than 6. And even though they weren't exactly drawn by professionals they matched the hallway perfectly.

'Gorgeous don't you think? My kids drew them when they were about 5 years old, it feels like ages ago. You'll meet them soon.' Senator Mears said as he'd seen Michael admiring the paintings.

As Michael was about to respond to senator Mears's question he was interrupted by a girlish laughter. Michael wondered where the sound came from and couldn't help but feeling a little bit curious. It had been years since Michael had heard a warm and honest laugh.

'Nikita is probably training with Owen. They fool around a lot, you'll notice that soon enough.'

They stopped at the door on the end of the hallway and walked into the senators office. The office was a bit more business-like then the hallway but it still that family touch. The senator sat down in his chair and looked at Michael before saying:

' Michael please, sit down. Now, let's talk business. I understand that you are the best of the best and I have also made a few calls. If my sources are right you were in the Navy is that correct?'

'Yes, sir'

'And after that, you went to work for the government?'

'Yes, sir' If he only knew what I did for the government, thought Michael.

'Good, because I want the best of the best for me and my family. As you will learn over time Michael, family is very important for me and I want absolutely no harm to come to them. You are my bodyguard but if it were to come to it, I need you to protect my family even if that means putting me in danger. Is that clear?'

'Yes, sir'

'Good, and please call me John, sir makes me feel… well, old. Welcome to the family Michael.'

'Thank you, sir. Euhm I mean John.'

'Let's introduce you to the rest of the family. Kids! Living room now!' He yelled through the hallway.

A few minutes later a guy appeared on the top of the stairs. He had glasses and his hair was long and totally messed up. He was no longer than 5 feet 7 and was dressed like a teenager even though Michael thought that the guy was in his mid to late twenties. While he was descending he said:

'This better be good dad, I was about to break my personal record.' His father laughed and explained to Michael: 'Seymour is sort of a computer fanatic, he loves playing games and stuff.'

'Computer fanatic? More like a computer nerd daddy.' Michael turned himself towards the voice. There was one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen standing right in front of him. And that means something, considering that Michael works in Division where all of the girls look as if they came straight out of a fashion magazine. This girl had long dark brown hair that came up to her breast and her eyes had the same deep brown color as her fathers. She had a very exotic look and was probably about 5 feet 10. Right behind her was a guy who was definitely 6 feet 2, very muscular and had short blond hair and blue eyes. The blond guy poked the girl in her belly and teased 'C'mon Nikita are you still jealous that Seymour beat you in that shooting game last night?' The girl Michael now knew to be Nikita stuck her tongue out at the guy and said: 'You know just as well as I do that nerd totally cheated his way into winning.'

Seymour, who had heard the entire conversation responded: 'Nikki, shut up and get over it. I can beat you in my sleep and do you know why? 'cause I am a genius.'

Their father had finally had enough of it and said: 'Kids, that's enough. You are being impolite towards Michael.

Suddenly, everyone was looking at him.

NIKITA

Nikita was still laughing at Owen when she heard her father. She helped Owen get up and the two of them made their way towards the living room. She heard her father talking to someone. He was saying 'Seymour is kind of a computer fanatic.' Yeah, right. Way to describe my genius nerdy little brother dad – They actually had the same age but Nikita called him little brother because, well, he WAS little. 'Computer fanatic? More like a computer nerd daddy.' She entered the room looking at her father. That's when she felt Owen poke her in her belly as he said:

'C'mon Nikita are you still jealous that Seymour beat you in that shooting game last night?' Such a tease she thought. She stuck out her tongue and snapped: 'You know just as well as I do that nerd totally cheated his way into winning.'

Surprisingly Seymour was the only one that hadn't said a word yet – up until now. 'Nikki, shut up and get over it. I could beat you in my sleep and do you know why? Because I, am a genius.'

This got him one of Nikita's famous eye rolls and she was about to give him a piece of her mind when her father interrupted: 'Kids, that's enough. You are being impolite towards Michael.'

Huh? Who's Michael? She was about to ask, but then she saw a man standing next to her father. That's weird, she hadn't even noticed him. What makes it even weirder is that he is a very noticeable guy. He is a real hottie. He isn't that tall, yet you can see he is very muscular and not a man you would want to fight with. He had short brown hair and very green eyes. Nikita was suddenly really embarrassed about her previous behavior. But she wouldn't be Nikita if she didn't make a comment about it. 'I'm sorry you had to witness that on your first day. Usually my brother doesn't brag like that until he knows you for at least… 10 minutes. I am Nikita by the way.' She shook his hand and gave him one of her most charming smiles. Then, she turned towards Seymour and her smile turns into an evil grin. Seymour nodded to where Michael was standing and said: 'What's up? I'm Seymour.'

'Hi, I'm Michael. It is very nice to meet you all.'

Nikita, who was still staring at Seymour, immediately turned her attention towards Michael. That voice… Jeez is this guy even real? He had a low, smoky and very sexy voice, Nikita of course had already thought of a million ways she could tease him with that in the future (batman being the main focus of those jokes). Michael seemed to have noticed that Nikita was staring at him and turned to look at her. Their eyes met and she could just feel the electricity going on between them. And judging by the surprise in Michael's eyes, so could he. Her father unknowingly interrupted their moment by continuing the introductions.

'This is Owen. He is Nikita's bodyguard, so the two of you will most likely have to work together on occasion.'

'Hey man, nice to meet you. I'll run you through everything you need to know.' Then he turned his attention back to Nikita: 'Are you going to be okay without me?'

This time it was Nikita who punched Owen in the stomach: 'I am offended that you would even ask me that.' She walked out of the room and before disappearing behind the door she looked over her shoulder and said: 'oh and Michael, it was very nice to meet you too.' With that said, she closed the door, went to her room, got changed and decided to go running.

MICHAEL

After everyone left, it was just Michael and Owen. There was this tense silence and Owen decided to break it first: 'They are entertaining aren't they?'

'Yes, I don't think I have ever seen anything like this family.'

'Well, the senator raised his kids very well, he practically raised me too. His wife and my parents died in the same car accident and John was kind enough to take me in.'

'I'm sorry about your parents.'

'Thanks, well anyway, let's get started shall we?'

Owen gave Michael a tour inside the house and then they headed towards the garden. Sometimes he would stop and point towards where the security cameras were and told him about the other security details. Michael immediately knew that he and Owen would be great friends. They ended up talking about their time in the army, which is not something you do with just anyone. Apparently Owens older brother, Sean, had served in Michael's team. Michael remembered Sean very well. And what he remembered even more was how he died. Quickly erasing that image from his memory Michael continued his conversation with Owen and they kept talking about the army, their former careers (obviously Michael never told him about Division) and of course the Mears family. After an hour or so Owen got up and said: 'Well, I am going to check up on Nikita and Seymour. Would you like to come with?'

'Uhm, actually I think I'm gonna call it an early night. You know, prepare myself for my first official workday tomorrow.''Yeah, I understand bro. Some other time then, goodnight.' Owen walked away and Michael went towards his bedroom.

Once he was in his room he took out his laptop and started writing a rapport about his first day. Amanda had specifically asked him to do so, so Michael didn't really have a choice. After the rapport was finished, he lay down on his bed and closed his eyes. He heard the laughter in the room next to him and wondered what was going on in there. He was starting to get up and see what they were laughing about, but then decided it would be better to keep his distance. He could not forget why he was really here. Yet, it would be so easy for him to forget that Division even existed and be the person he was pretending to be. The last thing on Michael's mind, before he fell asleep, were Percy's words to him before he left Division to go home yesterday. 'A change is coming Michael. And you're going to help make it happen.'
