Yes! It's finally Friday! Everyone prepared for that Mikita shower scene!? I am! Every time I think about it, I laugh so hard! I literally LOL! Yeah….anyway, here is the next chapter. I think it's okay, but I didn't have time to edit it, so I'm really sorry if something doesn't make sense or doesn't sound good! My phone got taken away last week after I posted the second chapter and I didn't get it back yet! That was my main tool for writing this story! ANYWAY (for the second time), hope you all enjoy this chapter no matter how poor of quality it is in.

Oh and VERY SADLY, I do NOT own Nikita or any of its characters. I always seem to forget to write that.

Chapter 3: Capture

Snatching her gun off her mahogany nightstand laying next to her modern style lamp, Nikita rushed to the walk-in closet, threw on her black, bulletproof, leather jacket, equally dark jeans, and socks/boots. Cocking her Glock 17, she began striding through the door when a strong arm grasped hers.

"Nikita, stop and tell me what's going on," Michael said gently.

"Michael, we don't have time! Amanda, she told me-"

Flashback

After looking down at her restraints, Nikita defiantly eyed Amanda's smug expression.

"If you think I'm going to let you everything I love again, you are mistaken. You want to get to him, you'll have to go through me first."

"Oh yes, I know, Nikita. That has already been fixed into my agenda. Way past accounted for. That is why I'll be playing around in your mind. Once I have you in my clutches, which will be fairly soon might I add, your love for Michael will not be my problem. However, speaking of Michael, he's trying to wake you up again. We'll see each other soon, so I'll let you go. Bye-bye! For now," Amanda finished, an evil smirk plastered to her face.

End of Flashback

Brushing Michael's cheek affectionately, Nikita says, "She is trying to take you away from me. I can't lose you. If that means I have to give myself-" Michael gripped her opposite arm, "No. You are NOT giving yourself up for me! We can find another way to get through this." Nikita smiled sadly and blinked several times, silencing him with her finger, "You know I won't be able to live peacefully knowing that you're in danger. I have to do this. You know it."

"Nikita, it's not just about you anymore! This includes US. I'm not just talking about me. Alex needs you. Birkhoff, Ryan. You're not just looking out for yourself anymore." The tears began forming again, but she refused to let them fall.

"I can't take that chance, Michael." She broke away from Michel's hold and clutched her gun to easily hold another person at gun point, striding past their bedroom door, and closing it behind her.

Nikita slowed her pace, never blinking, to make sure no one was within the house. She made her way to the kitchen window to overlook the front yard and almost missed it, but then she didn't. A gleam. A sniper. She ducked immediately and crawled back through the one story house to her bedroom to warn Michael. When she opened the door, she nearly gasped as she peered around the vacant room. Michael was gone. Because the window in their bedroom led to the front, Nikita parted the blinds carefully to desperately search for his face. However, she saw him conversing with a red haired figure. Shocked, Nikita turned her back to the window on her way to the main house door when something stopped her. A deafening scream.

Mid step, she whipped her body weight so that once again, she faced the window pane. Unconsciously, Nikita pried the glass open and swiftly slipped through toward Michael's writhing body. Sprinting his way, Nikita reached for her gun, and once she made contact, she first, took out the sniper who was only hidden by the marsh past the steps near the door, and then nimbly pulled the trigger towards Amanda's remaining two henchman. As the bullets meet their contacts, the men's bodies go limp, falling to the ground around Amanda, leaving her shocked. Nikita reached the other woman and connected her elbow to her face. Amanda staggered back dropping the .45 Caliber she held. Nikita turned her back to Amanda to reach down determined to help him.

"Michael. Michael. Look at me." He focused on her eyes, his filled with pain. Her hands caressed his face, "Everything's going to be fine." She started to move her hands to keep pressure on the abdomen wound. It was the sniper that got him.

"Where's your Kevlar?" she shook her head then realized that it wasn't important, "Never mind, that's not important because everything will be al-" Nikita choked on her words and lost her air, her ability to breathe. Finally, she gasped for oxygen as someone began dragging her away.

"Nikita," Amanda said breathlessly, "I told you we'd meet soon." Nikita couldn't fight back, for the pain overwhelmed her. All she could do was keep her eyes on Michael inside of the bullet wound in her back which ached horribly. She was after all, wearing a vest, but it still penetrated her skin, lodging itself between her shoulder blades due to the close range.

"Don't worry. Michael's wound isn't too bad, he'll survive," Amanda said pulling Nikita to her feet. Amanda's jeep was only a few yards away, so it was fairly quick and easy to drag Nikita inside, "You, I can't really say." Too exhausted to make a comeback, Nikita clamped her mouth shut.

Amanda lifted Nikita's body into the back seat where there was a window to the back and hurriedly shut the door. She then climbed in the driver's seat, slammed the door, and initiated the gas leaving Michael behind. All Nikita could only look the window back at Michael who was willing all his strength to call her name. Turning, Nikita finally let the tears come and the car propelled forward into the unknown future past the sunrise, "You told me I wouldn't lose you," she whispered, "Do the second best thing and keep this promise, please: don't die."
