She had to do it. She had no choice. The beautiful one carat diamond engagement ring that her Michael gave her is no longer in its' rightful place. Nikita had taken it off before she left the abandoned warehouse that the remaining members of the organization formerly known as Division to go in search of Amanda so that she can clear her name as the main culprit in the President's assassination. Tears blurred her vision as she drove a black SUV down the busy streets of Washington DC as she tried to convince herself that her decision to leave is the right one and that Michael will not come looking for her. Suddenly, her phone started to ring, Nikita picked up her phone and checked the caller ID. It was Michael.
"He must want to stop me from leaving or to give him an explanation for leaving the ring behind." Nikita thought to herself, feeling a twinge of guilt for doing what she did but she tried to convince herself that by leaving, it was best for everyone because Amanda will stop at nothing to destroy those who are close to her. Nikita has seen what that brunette witch was capable of as she had made her choose between saving her own life or Michaels' after telling Nikita that the hand that was given to Michael had a virus in it that will kill a person from the inside out by making all the blood vessels explode. So as long as Nikita takes herself out of the equation, maybe things will work itself out and those that she cared about will forgive her in time. "Michael." Nikita said quietly to herself as she thought about her beloved. "Forgive me." Nikita said sadly as she threw her phone out the window of the SUV, as more tears rolled down her face as she drove on towards an unknown destination, hoping against hope that it will somehow lead her to wherever Amanda's hiding so that she can be brought to justice.
Meanwhile, back at the warehouse, Michael held his phone close to his ear, praying to whatever god is out there to let him talk some sense into Nikita. He still couldn't believe that she took off her engagement ring and left without an explanation; but he knows that she's going to go after Amanda by herself and there's nothing that he can say or do to stop her. Nikita can be very stubborn when she wants to be and it's wise not to go against her when she has set her mind on doing something. Michael signed as he disconnected the call. "Damn it Nikita. Why must you always take things into your own hands?" Michael muttered under his breath as he walked back towards the main room of the warehouse to let the others know that Nikita has, to an extent, gone rogue once again.
