Chapter 9
Alex sighed at least glad for the moment that he wasn't going to do anything to her, but
that didn't mean
he wouldn't.
She left her room after Michael left and went to lunch, and sat by herself. She wasn't about
to sit
with Thom.
She didn't even want to talk to Thom right now, she wasn't much feeling hungry and got up
form
the table, tossing out the lunch
she had taken two bites of.
She ducked into the computer lab and made sure to use encryption as she logged on to give Nikita
a message.
X899:
Percy. Montreal.
K1020:
Yea right. Percy leaving Division No way.
X899:
Left this morn. He and Michael went at. Then Grandpa Percy
left in the elevator.
K1020:
So The Grown Ups Are Fighting?
X899:
Right In Front Of The Kids too.
K1020:
Anything else?
Alex stared at the question for a moment and then started to type again.
X899:
Yea. I'm done. No more. Not helping.
K1020:
Wait! Alex, what? Did you blow your cover?
Alex logged off. She walked away from the computer after shutting down. She would hafta grab her jacket.
K1020:
Alex!
No User Online.
Nikita looked at the screen and swore," Damnit Alex! We are getting closer to everything.
I just
need his little black box!" She got up sighing, "Okay no problem, will just hafta
find
a new way to get info. First Montreal," Nikita threw some stuff into a bag and headed off
to Montreal.

Birkhoff did as commanded and helped Michael break into Percy's office. Once inside, Michael said, "Now get on the laptop and get me some information."
Once again, Birkhoff looked as though he would protest, but Michael wouldn't hear of it. "Do as I say," he barked.
Birkhoff got on the laptop to retrieve the information Michael wanted. He had located Owen's file in the database. The file read, Name ::: Owen Elliot, Designation ::: Guardian, Assigned Hardware ::: BB # 4509, Job ::: Landscaper.
Michael just shook his head, seeing Owen's job was Landscaper. *Landscaper, my ass* he was thinking.
"What the fuck, he's a freakin gardner?!" gasped Birkhoff as he too was reading over the material.
"That's all I need. Shut the computer down," Michael commanded.
Birkhoff did as instructed, then got ready to exit the room. Michael made sure that everything was in it's place as he got ready to leave as well.

Alex hurried down the hallway but skidded to a halt as Percy's office door swung open.
Weird, Alex thought, Grandpa Percy's supposed to be in the Great White North.
"Watch it Scrub!" Birkhoff said seeing Alex standing in there way.
Alex saw Michael behind Birkhoff and raised an eyebrow," Well Sully, you are on a roll for bad examples today
aren't you."
Birkhoff looked at Michael," Who the fuck is Sully?"
~*~*~
"Fuck if I know," Michael said with a shrug as he still didn't know who that Sully character was that Alex kept mentioning. Michael just stood there, staring Alex down as Birkhoff made no attempt to return to Operations.
"Birkhoff, get back to Operations... I'm through with you, for now," Michael said in a commanding voice. Birkhoff gave Michael a glare which he missed, then took off down the corridor, leaving Alex and Michael to stand there alone right outside of Percy's office with the door yet ajar.
"Alex, come inside Percy's office with me a moment... I'd like to talk to you," Michael quipped, walking in and moving aside so she could enter.
