The Truth
Chapter 1 - Video Worth A Thousand Words
Michael stared at the monitor in Operations. It was late, bordering on 3AM, and he was the last one left in the building. Everyone had left or gone to sleep except for the guards. No one would be coming back to start Operations up again for another hour. No one but him was there to witness the shocking facts.
He had watched the video over and over, but he still couldn't process what he was seeing. He'd been going over debriefings from the mission, but when he saw this he just went blank. As much as he wished it wasn't true, the security footage didn't lie. As much as he wanted to believe there was a legitimate reason, he couldn't stop the rage from building. She was talking on the earpiece while unknowingly directly facing the security camera. She wasn't showing the expected response considering who she was talking to. She seemed relieved, not furious or on edge.
The mission was compromised in the end.. Nikita showed up... The target survived... Nikita escaped again. The reason for the failure may as well have been slapping him in the face with the brutal reality of the footage... She had lied to and betrayed Division... She had lied to and betrayed him!
"Damn it!," Michael yelled as he threw the files at the window facing the Training Room.
He slammed his fists on the desk and bowed his head trying to get his body to stop shaking from rage. Glancing down he saw the cell phone laying next to his left hand. All at once he felt a state of calm. Taking a deep breath he slowly reached out and flipped open the cell phone. As if he was on autopilot, his fingers scrolled through the contacts, then once they found who they were looking for he hit Send. He listened to it ring and ring until finally it just went straight through to voicemail. Not bothering to leave a message he shut his phone.
Michael grabbed the disc of the security footage and put it in the interior pocket of his jacket. Picking up the files, Michael grabbed his keys, and after storing the files in his office where no one could go through them, Michael walked out of Division with only one destination in mind.
