"Wow... I didn't mean it literally." Nathan joked.
"Shut up!" Alex yelled at him not satisfied with the joke.
"Alex... What's going on?" Nathan asked more seriously.
"You know..." Alex told him.
"No..." He insisted.
"Nikita told me you were Gogol." She finally told him. Nathan's eyes widened. 'How did Nikita...' Nathan thought.
"What's Gogol?" Nathan asked. It was obvious in his voice he was lying.
"Wow, I would of thought they trained you to be better liars." Alex laughed sarcastically.
"Okay, Alex I'm sorry. I was sent here to spy on you..." Alex rolled her eyes as soon as she heard this. "But it wasn't all fake."
"Bullshit!" Alex growled.
"No..." Nathan sighed. "I wasn't supposed to, but during this mission... I've gotten feelings for you." Alex sighed when she heard him say this.
"How do I know you're not lying?" She questioned.
"Because, Gogol protocol is to kill as soon as an agent is compromised." He hesitated "And you don't look dead to me." Nathan made the room less tense. Alex couldn't help but laugh a little bit.
"Listen, I'm not like other agents. I don't like where I work. I've tried to get out for years. By the way, you're a mole?" Nathan questioned.
"The only reason I'm in Division is because of Nikita. She put me in their trail so I could spy on their missions and give her information. We were partners before I was even in Division." Alex explained.
"Oh..." Nathan stated surprised. "Any other surprises?" He asked
"I'm going to talk to Nikita. I need to tell her about what happened." Alex said ignoring his question. "How much does Gogol know about Nikita?" She questioned. Nathan laughed after she asked.
"Yeah, she's kind of a legend in all these secret government facility's. Ari told us all how she's a rogue Division agent... High threat." Nathan explained. Alex nodded and looked at Nathan. She wasn't sure if she could trust him yet, but since he wasn't trying to kill her yet she decided to trust him for now.
"Okay then." Alex responded then headed for the door.
"Alex wait." Nathan called after her. She waited by the door and looked at him.
"I'm sorry." Nathan apologized.
"Is that all you have to say?" Alex asked irritated.
"What else can I say?" He question with a confused laugh.
"Nothing..." Alex sighed. Nathan started to say something to Alex, but before he could she left.
Alex went up to Nikita's loft to tell her about Nathan. She wasn't even sure if she could trust him, but that's why she needed to talk to Nikita. Nikita would tell her how to handle this and then go on saying that 'you need to be more careful.' It was true, she did need to be more careful with who she trusted, but she had heard it all before.
Alex went inside the loft and saw Nikita by a window.
"So..." Nikita started while she walked a way from the window.
"So, he said he wants out of Gogol." Alex told her.
"And you believed him?" Nikita asked surprised and somewhat angry
"I don't know..." Alex admitted and sat down on the bed.
"Alex, this is not a good time for 'I don't know.'" Nikita stated firmly.
"I need your help." Alex sighed then looked at her. "It didn't sound like he was lying."
"Gogol agents are trained to act in that kind of situation." Nikita explained.
"He said that they are trained to kill when compromised on mission." Alex argued. Nikita was silent.
"Alex, you can't trust anybody... You can never be sure." Nikita reminded her. She used to tell her that all the time before she infiltrated Division. Alex paused before replying to Nikita.
"So what do I do?" Alex questioned.
"You tell him he needs to leave. Tell him to tell Ari he has enough information, and if he really means what he said, he'll do it." Nikita debriefed Alex.
"Okay." Alex sighed. Nikita sat next to Alex then hugged her.
"I know it's hard. To not be able to trust, but it's the way it has to be for now." Nikita lectured.
"I know." Alex agreed then pulled a way from their hug. She smiled at Nikita then left.
Alex was on her way to Nathan's apartment when her Division phone rang. She reached into her purse and picked it up.
"Michael?" Alex questioned into her phone.
"Alex, we need you to report to Division immediately." Michael demanded.
"Why? What's wrong?" Alex asked.
"It's an urgent op, and we need you on it." Michael explained. Alex sighed a little.
"Okay on my way." Alex responded then hung up the phone. She turned her car around and headed for Division.
"So I'm the only one on this op?" Alex asked with surprise as she walked down the hall with Michael holding the folder he'd given her.
"No, not really. You'll see when you're debriefed." Michael explained, opening the door to the debriefing room. They both sat down then Michael started to explain. "We received a threat from Ari Tasarov about 2 hours ago. He said he sent Gogol agents to spy on Division agents. All agents need to be on look out for anything suspicious. If you find an agent, you bring them in, so we can torture any information out of them." Michael debriefed Alex.
Alex nodded understanding, but there was no way she was going to bring Nathan in. She still didn't fully trust him but, he didn't kill her so she wouldn't betray him by giving him up to Division.
"Alright, thank you, Alex." Michael said with no emotion. Alex could tell this wasn't his first debrief about this situation. She left after he said this.
Alex knocked on Nathan's door. When it opened she rushed inside.
"Nathan you need to leave." Alex ordered as soon as she saw him. "They're looking for Gogol agents and if they find you..." Nathan interrupted Alex in the middle of her speech.
"Alex, I'm already leaving." Nathan told her with a straight face.
"What?" Alex questioned.
"Ari has enough information and wants me to return with everything." Nathan explained. Alex started to say something then stopped when Nathan started to talk again. "I was sent here to spy on you Alex, but not because you're a Division agent." Nathan admitted then put a shot in Alex's neck. "Because you're a Udinov." He finished. That was the last thing Alex heard before falling to the floor unconscious.
