CHAPTER 1 Secrets

Alex has kept her plan to take down division along with Nikita for some time now. After Michaels 'betrayal', Alex has been thinking more and more about him. He seemed sincere about his confession that he knew he was being tested. He did say to trust him before he supposedly was going to let them kill her. There was something in his eyes when he spoke to Alex; something in his voice. He seemed tired of some of Divisions ways, like how they were going to kill Alex. He seemed like he had a soul unlike the other authorities at Division and that made Alex feel safer. Alex could see that Michael liked her. She wasn't sure why just yet.

Alex was laying on her bed when she heard a knock at the door. It made her jump not hearing whoever it was walking towards the door.

"Come in." Alex said dully. The door clicked open and Michael's head appeared in the doorway slowly, almost as if he was expecting her to be changing.

"I wanted to show you something in my office." He informed her. Alex's face showed that she was confused. Trainees were not aloud in any of the offices.

"What for ?" Alex asked, her face confused.

"Stop asking questions Alex and follow me to my office." Michael replied, his face hard. He seemed mad. That was weird being he was just trying to convince Alex the other night that he was on her side the whole time. Alex stood up and followed him quietly out of the door.

Michael put his finger on his code detector and his office door opened.

"After you." He said, holding his arm to the side. Alex looked at him suspiciously and did as he said.

"So what is this all about ?" Alex asked as she sat down on his office desk.

"I saw you with Sara in the hallway the other day. You guys looked like you were having one serious conversation." Michael told her, his face calm. Alex looked up at him and bit her bottom lip.

"I just don't think that it is fair that she gets a job and people who have been here longer does not." She replied, quickly trying to mask his suspicion. Michael shook his head.

"No. I don't take that you even want to be activated for a mission. There's something else going on isn't there Alex ?" Michael said leaning against the table across from Alex, his face hard. Alex could feel her heart beating faster. What did he know ?

Michael made his way to the drink stand and poured himself a glass of scotch. "You want some water ?" He asked before taking a sip of his drink. Alex cleared her throat.

"No…thank you." She responded nervously. What if he knew about Nikita's plan.

"You haven't answered my question." Michael said. Alex looked away and exhaled a deep breath.

"You're right; I don't want to be activated. I figure, the more I know about the other recruits missions, the more ready I'll be when my turn comes. I'm scared Michael." Alex looked down ashamed. Michael's face almost looked convinced. He nodded this time.

"I was scared too at first. But I'll make sure that you don't get sent out until you're ready." Michael said confidently.

"Sara didn't seem ready." Alex said although she knew she was probably okay because of Nikita.

"She's been activated for a different type of mission. One she is suited for. I promise you that." He told her, something in his eyes twitching. Ales laughed, mostly to herself.

"Sure." She smiled, shaking her head as she turned away from his view. She was actually starting to believe him from the other day.

"What is that supposed to mean ?" He asked getting agitated.

"I'll believe that when I see Sara again; back in division, safe and sound." Alex told Michael close to his face, her face hard.

"God, you remind me of somebody." He told her, his eyes not leaving hers.

"Who ?" She asked curiously now.

"Doesn't matter. What matters is that who you remind me off was an amazing recruit."

"You liked her didn't you ?" Alex asked, now interested. She could see something in his eyes change when she asked him that. That look told Alex the answer.

"She must have been a part of Division at one time. Did she die ?" Alex pushed her luck. Michael froze for a second, lost in his head.

"You should get to training. You're going to be late." Michael said staring at the rug under his desk. Alex tightened her lips and nodded her head silently before walking past him and out of the door to leave Michael to mask in his memories.

Alex knew that whoever it is…or was, that is his weak spot. Alex hoped that whoever it was, she was still alive. Nikita could possibly use her.

I hope you guys like it so far. Please review and tell me what you think :)
