on the road to Division...
" Ten more minutes Nikita" William informed. Ten more minutes with her love.
" Michael.." she started but she was cut off by Michael's gentle kiss.
" I love you" he said when they broke away.
" I love you, too. Please I need to know that you are going to be safe and lound. Alex made me one last gift when she let you live, don't throw it away. " Nikita pleaded.
" Gift? gift? she hands you to Amanda and you think that she made you a gift?" Michael asked in surprise. He knew that Nikita loved Alex but this was beyond imagination.
" I killed her father Michael. She warned me to walk away but I didn't listen to her. She wants revenge, I don't blame her. I am grateful that she was strong enough not to take it out on you" Nikita said honestly.
" Are you hearing to yourself?" Michael asked in shock. " This girl owes you everything and she had just signed your death penalty"
" She doesn't owe me anything. I destroyed her life and I lied to her. I am grateful because even if she knew that it could hurt me more than everything if she hurts the people I love and care about, she decided to let me leave in peace. I am not going to have your blood on my hands,too" Nikita said and tears fell down to her cheeks.
" I love you, Nikita" Michael repeated and kissed Nikita's lips.
" If you love me, you will promise me that you will stay low and that you aren't going to hunt Alex" Nikita said seriously.
" What?" Michael asked in shock.
" You heard me" Nikita said.
" Fine. I promise you that I am not going to go after Alex and I will try to keep a low profil. Happy?" Michael said.
" I love you" Nikita exclaimed.
Suddenly, they heard screams and the car stopped suddenly.
" We are under attack" someone callled and they heard gunshots.
" Amanda, we are under attack" someone shouted.
" Alex is with wolf team" someone said
" yes. we will keep Alex safe. Don't worry. What about Nikita?" William replied.
" Understood" he said and suddenly an explosion took place and the car was fulled with some sort of gas.
Ten men approached the car and they pushed Nikita and Michael out of it.
After one hour Nikita woke up suddenly in fear and she made sure that Michael was with her. She felt relieved when she saw him sleeping peacefully next to her. But then panic took over her. She stond up and walked through an open door and she prepared herself for a battle when she heard voices. She walked carefully to the other room and she entered it and she caught up the last part of a coversation.
"...respect her wish. you can't tell them. It's too dangerous..." someone said
" Nikita" another man shouted and walked towards her.
" Birkoff?" Nikita asked in surprise and confused.
" Goodmornig. I though that you are going to sleep for ever" Birkoff mentioned and hugged Nikita.
" My services aren't required anymore" another man said and walked towards them. Nikita backed off and asked
" Who are you?"
" My name is Owen Eliot. I was informed that you were in trouble and needed rescue." Owen replied calmly.
" You attacked the vehicles?" Nikita asked
" Yes, madam" Owen answered.
" How did you know? Did you kill them?" Nikita asked confused.
" Not all of them. We used gas to put into coma the most of them. We killed only the ones that we couldn't take down otherwise" Owen said and Nikita nodded in relief. She didn't like killing.
" Birkoff, I have to go. My team is waiting for me. See you" Owen said and walked to the door.
" Wait" Birkoff shouted and ran towards Owen and whispered to his ear tell her to be safe
" I will" Owen said and left the house.
Nikita had too many questions and she instantly started to interrogate Birkoff.
" What am I doing here, nerd?" Nikita asked
" Don't call me, Nerd" Birkoff yelled and he added " I thought that you needed some help" and he walked away from Nikita staring at a window.
" How did you know that I needed help?" Nikita asked suspiciously
" I kept an eye on you and Michael after I left Division and I saw that you were in trouble. I am shadowwalker, remember?" Birkoff said the lie calmly.
" Thanks" Nikita replied
" Where are we?" someone asked from behind.
" Michael" Nikita yelled and ran to hug him.
" Hi, Mickey" Birkoff said after awhile.
" What is going on?" Michael asked.
" Birkoff saved our asses" Nikita said calmly.
" What he is just a nerd" Michael said in disbelief.
" Thanks, Michael" Birkoff respond with a tone of disapproval.
" Who is Owen?" Nikita asked ignoring the tense between the boys.
" Rogue agent, ex cleaner. We have some kind of parternship. Don't ask." Birkoff said. The truth was that Alex had introduced them.
" Ok..." Nikita said nervously.
" If you need anything just tell me" Birkoff said and left the room.
3 hours later...
Birkoff returned to the room and saw Nikita staring out of the window with a sad gaze.
" I brought you some ice for the bruise in your face" Birkoff said and walked to Nikita.
" Thanks" Nikita replied softly.
" Who did this to you?" Birkoff asked even if he knew the answer.
" Alex" Nikita replied sadly and closed her eyes.
" What? Alex? Your mole? Why?" Birkoff asked faking that he was in shock.
" She learnt that I killed her father and she is working with Division, now" Nikita replied softly.
" You are kidding right?" Birkoff said.
" I wish that I would" Nikita replied.
" How are you?" Birkoff asked worried about Nikita's emotional state.
" I don't want to talk about it" Nikita said with shaking voice.
" Come on, Nikki. We are going to work together. You have to let it out" Birkoff pushed her.
" Alex is an off limit topic for both of you" Nikita said when she noticed Michael entering the room.
" I don't want to talk about it" she added.
" Fine. Don't talk. Just remember sometimes the things aren't as it seems to be" Birkoff said and left the room. He had promised to Alex that he wasn't going to tell anything to Michael and Nikita about her involvement and that she stayed back in order to protect them, but he couldn't stand seeing Nikita in such pain, so he said the only thing that he could hoping that Nikita is going to figure out the truth.
He went to his room, he took out a cell phone and typed they are both safe and sound. Nikita is upset about you. Are you sure that you want to keep this secret?
he waited for a few moments and then a message came
I am glad that they are fine. Yes. Don't ask me again. Keep them safe. See you.
Alex said and hide this secret cell phone in her bedroom. Then she smiled to herself and laid on her bed.
They are safe for now she thought and fell asleep.
