Ashleigh – Thank you for being my first review. I'm glad you are interested.
NalexNikita – No need to beg. This chapter is dedicated to you. P.S. Are you sure it's alex?
Sean and Michael stand in Ops silently.
"Has Alex said anything to you about…"
"No. Nikita…"
"No."
Silence falls between them again. The elevator doors open and Nikita and Alex make their way to Ops. Sean can't conceal a look.
"What?" Alex asks.
"What did you guys do this morning?"
"We went to breakfast." Alex replies.
"Where?" Michael jumps in.
"Brando's Bakery." Nikita answers.
"What did you get?" Sean asks.
"What is this? A tag team interrogation?" Alex asks.
They are all saved when Ryan and Birkoff enter the room.
"Okay. We got solid intel on Amanda." Ryan says paying no attention to the mood of the room.
"She's meeting this man." Birkoff pulls up a surveillance photo. "Dmitri Romanoff. He's a black market dealer."
"In what?" Michael asks.
"Anything and everything you need." Ryan answers.
"What about Ari?" Nikita asks.
"We haven't heard anything to suggest he is with her." Ryan answers.
"Ari would be pretty stupid to show his face in Russia." Alex says.
"Do we know what she wants?" Sean asks.
"No. But Romanoff has a ledger of all of his current transactions." Ryan answers.
"Paper. Uhh. Doesn't this guy know we are in the 21st century?" Birkoff scoffs.
"You're just mad you can't hack into it." Nikita teases.
"I set up a meeting through some old contacts. You meet Romanoff in two days. Amanda's meeting is tomorrow. You're mission is to get a look at the ledger and figure out what Amanda s buying." Ryan states. "You are under no circumstances to engage her. This is just a surveillance mission. We need to see what they are planning. Got It?"
Every one nodes but no one looks happy.
"Nikita and Michael will take the meet, Alex and Sean will be on site as back up. You leave in twelve hours. Start packing."

Alex and Nikita clean their weapons and pack them discreetly into the hollow bottom of their luggage.
"They know." Alex finally said.
"They know nothing." Nikita responds. "They're just fishing."
"Maybe we should say something."
"No. We promised not to say anything until we know for sure."
Alex looks down at her weapon.
"Alex, it's just another mission."
"Except for the pregnancy."
"Possible pregnancy. We don't know anything yet."

" What do we do? How do we get it out of them?" Sean asks
"Nothing." Michael replies. "It's Alex and Nikita. You really think we can make them tell us something they don't want us to know?"
"I have to know. It's eating me up inside. I'm freaking out."
Michael walks up to Sean and slaps him. "Calm down. Right now we need to focus on the mission."
"How can you let them go on a mission knowing one of them could be pregnant?"
"Trust. Trust that they are doing the right thing. What we do is dangerous, but that's why we train. I trust that Nikita knows what to do. Do you trust Alex?"
"Of course."
"Then that's it. Trust that she knows how to take care of herself."
Okay so this chapter came really fast. I wasn't going to post it till tonight but I figured you would like to see something.
