Michael and Nikita got out of there car the same time Alex and Amanda did. They were standing about 20 feet away from each other. Alex's hands were cuffed behind her back, she could barely stand up straight.

"Alex..." Nikita said painfully under her breath. She then looked up at Amanda who was smiling then pulled a pair of hand cuffs out of her pocket. Amanda through the cuffs at Michael who caught them in the air.

"Cuff her." Amanda said looking at Nikita. Michael sighed and looked at Nikita.

"Just..." Nikita started then stepped in front of Michael and put her hands behind her back. Michael hesitated but did as he was told. After Nikita was cuffed she took one step forward.

"Walk toward me." Amanda instructed.

"Send Alex first." Nikita commanded. Amanda waited a second then pushed Alex forward almost making her fall over. The girls walked toward each other than stopped when they met.

"You don't have to do this.." Alex started softly.

"Yes, I do... I can't just stand by and let..." Nikita was cut-off by Alex.

"And I can't let you sacrifice yourself for me." Alex said louder but still in pain. Nikita sighed.

"'It'll be okay, we got Birkhoff tracing us. You'll get me away from her, okay?" Nikita said whispering. Alex nodded but still didn't agree.

"Come on Nikita I don't have all day." Amanda said annoyed with their conversation in the middle. They both started walking their separate ways. Amanda shoved Nikita in the back of the car, and before she entered herself, she shot the tires to Michael 's car. "In case you were going to follow us." She got in the car and drove off. Michael un-cuffed Alex who was tiered but pissed.

"How could you let her do that?" Alex asked angrily. Michael got two tires out of the trunk expecting Amanda to shoot them out, he looked mad and sad.

"You know Nikita, I couldn't do anything to stop her, she cares about you too much." Michael said trying to fix the tires quickly. "Birkhoff? Birkhoff!" Michael yelled trying to get ahold of him as he finished fixing the car. "We need to get back." He said. Alex nodded and they both quickly were on their way back.

Nikita and Amanda were both silent, but Nikita was looking for at camera she could find. Amanda saw what she was looking for and finally said something.

"You know I figured your friends would try to track you through the street cameras, so I had Ari take our images off them." Amanda said looking forward. Nikita turned away from the window and toward Amanda.

"Ari? Computers?" Nikita asked surprised. Amanda smirked.

"He... We know people." She said still looking forward. Nikita sighed and lied back on her seat, thinking she would be with Amanda for longer for than what her and Michael had expected. She was worried about everyone without her, especially her daughter.

Flashback

It was a day after Nikita got back into Division from her "Recovery." Nikita was in Amanda's office, sitting on the couch opposite of Amanda who was smiling back at Nikita.

"Nice to have you back Nikita, it's been almost a year, you look lovely." Amanda said smiling at her.

"Thank you..." Nikita sounded like she was about to cry but had a fake smile on her face. She knew crying would make things worse.

"What happened, Nikita." Amanda asked concerned.

"What do you mean?" Nikita asked confused.

"You look sad, disappointed." Amanda said relaxing in her seat.

"Oh... no it's just been transition, coming back here. I'm really tiered, that's all." Nikita tried to smile. Her smile wasn't that good having Miranda on her mind. Amanda stared at Nikita, she didn't believe her, she knew there was something else.

"Well, if you need to talk you can always come to me." Amanda said sternly. Nikita nodded still trying to hold her smile. "Thank you, Nikita." Amanda said and started to write and her notebook as Nikita left. As soon as the door to Amanda's room shut, she started running with tears in her eyes, until she ran into Michael.

"Wow... hey what's wrong?" Michael asked stopping her.

"Michael..." Nikita said breathing heavily. "I can't do this...I" Michael cut her off.

"Hey, I know it hurts but, you're going to have to learn to deal with it... for now." Michael paused and lifted Nikita's chin. "For her sake and yours." He finished. Nikita still had tears in her eyes and started walking away from Michael.

End Flashback

Nikita put her focus back on Amanda. Amanda looked into Nikita's eyes through the review mirror than back at the road and pulled over.

"We're here." She then stepped out her door and opened Nikita's and stuck a needle in her neck. "I can't let you see where we are." Amanda said calmly. Before Nikita could react she was unconscious. Amanda signaled to her guys to take her inside. "You wanted war, you got it."Amanda said to herself though gritted teeth and followed her guys.

Michael and Alex were silent to each other till they got back to Division. Alex started to get out of the car but was stopped by Michael.

"Hey... Alex..." He said as she stopped in her tracks and paid full attention to him. "I know you're mad at me for letting Nikita do that, I'm mad at myself, but we will get her back and Amanda will pay for what she has done to us... All of us. He finished and awaited a response from Alex.

"I'm not mad... Not at you or Nikita or anyone... except for Amanda. I'm just worried. I know there is nothing you could have done to stop Nikita because she cares too much. She would sacrifice herself for any of us. I don't want you to be mad at yourself. I'm sure you tried and I tried but she will refuse to stand by and watch us get hurt and if we want to help her, the best thing we can do is try to find her." Alex told him straight forward. Michael was surprised to hear this from Alex. He started heading for Ops when he heard Alex from behind.

"Michael." She called. He turned around to see she had a gun pointed at him with a silencer. His eyes widened.

"Alex... what are you doing?" He asked. "This isn't you." He said with his hands in the air. Alex smiled evilly.

"You're right." After saying this she shot him in the left side of his stomach. "But don't tell anyone else that." She said walking up to him as he fell unconscious. She put him back in the passenger seat and put the gun and silencer away and headed to Ops, where Birkhoff and Miranda were.

Alex ran in out of breath. "Birkhoff!" She paused. "It's Michael, Amanda shot him." She fished. Birkhoff and Miranda both immediately followed her to where Michael was.

"Ryan, Michael was shot. Get Medical." Birkhoff said through his comm as he got Michael out of the car with Alex's help. Miranda got the door and the elevator. When the elevator opened, their was Ryan and two doctors from medical in it. "Here take him." Birkhoff said as him and Alex handed him over to the doctors.

"We'll get the next one." Ryan said getting out of the elevator. When the doors closed that's when the questions started. "How did this happen?" Ryan asked.

"After we made the trade Amanda shot the tires and Michael. I had to change the tires then I got here as fast as I could." Alex answered.

"How come you didn't contact me?" Birkhoff asked.

"She jammed the signal." She answered again very straight forward. Miranda looked at Alex weird, something was... different about her. "You okay, Miranda." Alex asked.

"Oh, ya. just worried about Michael." She said.

"I'm sure he'll be fine." She said and smiled. Miranda smiled back but as soon as she turned away she looked suspicious again.

"Common, we need to go back up." Ryan said to Miranda. She did as she was told and went up with all of them.

Amanda had her guy's put Nikita in the room Alex was in. She stopped where Ari was.

"I have to say your plan was genius." Ari said reading a newspaper.

"I told you." Amanda said standing to the right of him. Ari put his news paper down.

"Replacing Alex with a double, that will cause a lot of damage to Division." He started.

"And Nikita." Amanda said staring at the room that now both girls were in.
