Again I know that I said that I would stop doing this but with school ending I decided that I was only going to focus on work and on working on some of my orignal stories that I hadn't worked on in a while. So again so sorry for the delay but it is also kind of hard without a new Nikita every week to help me have some sort of an idea on what will happen next. Ok enough about me, here's the next chapter sorry it took so long! (Also sorry if my spelling and grammar is really bad, I only really looked over this chapter once so I could get it on here for you guys =D)
"Well…" Alex said as her and Birkhoff sat down to breakfast.
Birkhoff gave her a puzzled look as he poured cereal into a bowl and asked, "Well what?"
"Where's this famous house that you're moving into?" Alex wondered as Michael and Nikita entered the kitchen.
"Do you have a problem with us nerd?" Nikita asked as she reached the fridge and looked inside.
Birkhoff rolled his eyes and stated, "I don't need this I have work to do," he looked at Alex as he got up and added, "and I'd watch your mouth princess, I have every right to kick you out right now." Michael pushed Birkhoff out of the room as Nikita took his spot and laughed.
"I don't know why you guys think that's funny," Alex wondered, "he seems kind of mad."
"You get used to it," Michael stated as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
Nikita nodded as she took a deep breath before stating, "Alex we need to act tonight."
Alex almost spit out her cereal as she asked, "what?"
"You heard her," Michael said as he approached the table, "we decided that your plan will work out best and Nikita and I don't want to wait any longer to get our son back."
Nikita smiled as Alex added, "but Nikita you were dead set against this last time we talked."
"I was," Nikita promptly stated, "I thought I had a better idea but Michael talked me out of it. It would just cause too much chaos anyway." Alex nodded waiting for Nikita to go on, "I need to know what your exact plan is going to be. We'll need to be ready for all sorts of things. Who knows what that place is like now that Amanda is running it!"
Michael nodded, "I wish that one of us could go with you but it will have to be a solo mission. You go in. You get Mason. You get out as quickly as possible. You get that, the last thing we need is…" he paused briefly taking Nikita's hand, "is for you to be caught with Mason."
"We both know that if Amanda finds out that you're helping me that she will not waste any time taking both of you down," Nikita said looking at the table. Alex could tell that she was in distress, not only was Nikita finally going to get her son back; she would have to sit on the sidelines and watch. Even if Alex was the one who was going to infiltrate Division, there was a very great possibility of both her and Mason getting killed in the process. Not only would Nikita lose her son, she would lose a great friend and hated the fact that she couldn't do anything to help.
They ended up spending the whole afternoon planning what the smartest escape plan would be. They took hardly any breaks and they went over the plan so many times that Alex felt like it was more a long the lines of studying for a big exam than going to save Nikita's son.
"Now you'll have a mic on you just like when you were at Division. We'll be able to communicate with you and help you navigate but…" Michael was telling as she was getting ready to go.
"But don't get your ass kicked and keep going," Birkhoff interrupted when he had finished a new program on the computer. "We need to keep this as low key as possible. We don't need you to act like Nikita and create a big scene."
"I heard that," Nikita said coming down the stairs into the living room with an old blanket. "Alex, when you find Mason. Give him this."
"What is it?" Alex wondered as she took the yellow cloth from Nikita.
"I got to visit Mason a couple of times when I was still at Division. One of the last times I saw him, I took part of his favorite blanket and told him that if anyone ever found him and gave him this that they would bring him back to me," Nikita explained, "He probably won't remember that but if you make it clear that it was once part of his blanket, he should go with you no matter what happens."
Alex nodded as she placed the piece of yellow fabric in her coat pocket and accepted a pistol from Michael to put in her holster. "I'm pretty sure I have everything I need now," she commented making her way to the door, "I better get going if I'm going to get in and out with Mason in a quick amount of time."
"Yes, that is 100 percent correct," Birkhoff yelled from at his desk, "please do not wait until Mason has fallen asleep it will take you longer to get out of there. Hence why I believe it is best that you never ever work with children or animals."
"I'd shut up if I were you nerd," Nikita warned giving Alex a hug on her way out, "Thank you Alex," she whispered. Alex could almost detect sadness in her voice. It was always so weird for her to see Nikita in this kind of state, especially since Nikita was such a help to her when she was getting ready to infiltrate Division the first time. Alex took a deep breath as she grabbed the last of her things and headed out the door.
Nikita couldn't help but stare at the door where her closet friend; who was more like a sister to her; had left and would soon return with her son. She didn't know what to think. She would finally see her son again in the longest time. It was taking everything in her not to curl up into a ball and cry at that very moment. What if she wasn't mother material? What if Mason just ends up getting hurt because of what she is doing to protect him? Is it even safe for him to live with them while they're still living like this? Many more questions of the sorts ran through her head as Michael came up behind her and gave her a hug, "What are you thinking about?" he wondered as he kissed the side of her head.
"Michael," Nikita turned around so she could stare right into his eyes as she stated, "we can't keep Mason."
"Alexandra Udinov is at the front gate and is requesting entry," Sonya stated as Amanda entered operations.
Amanda stared bluntly at the large wall of security camera footage before adding, "Let her in. I'm interested to hear about her little run in with Nikita. Send her into my office." Sonya nodded as she began clicking away aimlessly allowing Alex to come in. Amanda wasn't surprised that Alex had finally showed up, she was just worried that it had taken her so long. All that had been running through her head the past couple of days was what Sean had told her when he had come in with Rodgers right behind him.
"What's going on?" Amanda questioned as Sean motioned for someone to take Tristan Rodgers into interrogation.
Sean looked at Amanda sternly as he replied, "He had Alex hostage and handcuffed. Nikita intercepted around the same time the strike team shoved up and traded Rodgers for Alex.
"I see," Amanda said as she grabbed one the remaining strike team guys and stated, "No need to interrogate Rodgers, just put him in an interrogation room and then send in a cleaner."
"Now if you excuse me I need to find out if Nikita has had any thing more to do with Oversight," Sean added as he started to walk away.
"No actually I need you to tell me everything that happened in that warehouse," Amanda stated, "in my office."
Sean nodded and waited for Amanda to start leading him there as he muttered, "Of course," under his breath.
Once they were both settled in Amanda's office, she began, "Now start from the beginning and don't leave a single detail out."
Sean nodded folding his hands and placing them on his knee, "After we had the location that Rodgers was holding Alex hostage in. I assembled a rescue team and we tried our best to…"
"What do you mean tried your best?" Amanda interrupted.
Sean rolled his eyes as he replied, "Well this may be Division but it isn't Seal team 6 and can't really do everything as good as they can."
Amanda nodded saying, "I'll keep that in mind. Go on."
"Anyway," Sean continued, "Rodger's guards gunned down three of our men and the team decided that it would be best if we made it look like they scared us off and come back and attack from another angle in a couple hours or so. After that, I don't know exactly how his guards got a hold of me, but before I knew it I was handcuffed and kneeling down before Alex with my head in the sand. Rodgers thought that..." Sean coughed before continuing, "That there was something going on between us two because he remembered me from the ball when the strike was initially supposed to happen. Alex tried to talk it out with Rodgers but he had no mercy. Nikita entered soon after and Rodgers froze."
"Froze? As in didn't move? Why didn't Nikita kill him then?" Amanda wondered.
Sean rolled his eyes before sarcastically replying, "Who knows what goes on in that severely demented head of hers. Either way Rodgers and Nikita went back and forth for a while until the second strike team shoved up. By that time I had managed to get myself free and was helping Alex when Michael intervened. I managed to get a gun on him and tell him that Alex was leaving with us. But Nikita, who by that time had her gun on Rodger's head pushed him towards me and said, 'He's yours.' Michael grabbed Alex as I reached out to grab Rodgers and then they left before I could do anything." Amanda nodded as she stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me Sean."
"Are you going to do anything? Nikita is probably torturing her as we speak!" Sean added.
Amanda crossed the room so that she was looking out into Operations as she stated, "Alex has gotten away from Nikita plenty of times before. If she doesn't show up here in three days time then we'll start worrying." Amanda opened the door and added, "That will be all Sean." And with that Sean walked out the door and got as far away from her as he possibly could.
There was a knock on the door that caused Amanda to wake from her memory, "Come in," she stated.
Alex walked in without a scratch on her as she stated, "That was a close one. Nikita won't notice I'm gone until morning. I had to pretend that everything was ok between us so that she didn't do anything rash."
Amanda nodded as walked towards Alex, "I hope this little run in with Nikita hasn't stirred up any old feelings that would make you reconsider your loyalty to Division."
"Are you kidding me?" Alex stated, "You think that I would just forget everything and forgive the woman who murdered my father?"
"No of course not," Amanda said, "I was just making sure you knew whose team you should trust."
Alex walked straight to Amanda's desk and added, "I trust Division and I know that Division will be the one that will help avenge my family, not Nikita."
"Good to know," Amanda told her, "That will all then."
Alex agreed as she walked out of the office and into the hall. She walked to her old recruit room making sure it look like every other time that she was forced to stay at Division for "safety reasons." She entered the room and made sure that the door was closed behind her. Once she felt secure she fit herself with her mic, "Nikita are you there?" she whispered.
"Sorry princess. Nikita and Michael went out so you're just going to have to settle for me," she heard Birkhoff respond.
"Ok," Alex huffed, "I was just checking to see if the mic worked."
"Yeah, yeah of course you were," Birkhoff added, "Do you remember how to get to Amanda's old office or do you need me to lead you there?"
Alex rolled her eyes even though Birkhoff couldn't see her, "I'll be fine all on my own. Thanks nerd."
"Only Nikita gets to call me that," Birkhoff muttered.
Alex rolled her eyes as she made sure that all of her weapons were loaded and left her room. She made sure that no one was watching her as she made her way to an air vent and took what she liked to call "the secret way." In a matter of minutes she was in Amanda's old dusty office and made her way to the hallway connecting the office to the room that held Mason's glass case. It seemed almost too easy for her to get in which freaked her out a bit but she shrugged it off as she made her way to Mason. "Mason," Alex called.
As Alex found her way to the entrance she noticed that Mason was asleep and she gently shook him to wake him up. "Mommy?" Mason asked half awake.
"No. I'm Alex remember?" Alex said as she got Mason to sit up, "I'm here to take you back to your mommy. Remember the lady who always used to visit you?"
Mason nodded but didn't move, "Amanda said that mommy isn't coming back."
Alex looked straight into Mason's eyes as she told him, "It's too dangerous for your mommy to come back for you, that's why I'm here." Alex then reached into her pocket and handed Mason the ripped off part of his favorite blanket that Nikita had given her. "Your mommy told you that she would return this to you when she was ready for you to come back with her. Remember?"
Mason took the cloth and rubbed his eyes with it. At least that's what Alex thought before Mason pressed the blanket to his nose, "Mommy?" Mason asked.
"Yes that is from your mommy," Alex said, "See this piece is a perfect fit to your blanket on the wall."
Mason looked at the blanket on the wall and said, "Mommy."
Alex nodded as she grabbed his blanket off the wall and took his hand, "I will take you to your mommy Mason. Come on." Mason clutched Alex's hand tightly and followed her as she led him into the hallway. Alex was too busy making sure that her and Mason would go unnoticed when she ended up walking straight into someone. "Of course," she thought as she looked up and became face to face with Sean.
"Alex?" he asked, "What are you doing?"
"Mommy," Mason said once more hugging Alex's leg.
Without even thinking Alex picked Mason up and stated, "What do you think that I'm doing? I'm getting my son as far away from here as possible."
Ok please review so I can know what you guys thought of that chapter! There was a little more Sean for you Salex lovers out there! (By the way why do you guys think Sean covered for Alex?) I'm not going lie I had another idea for Nikita getting into Division to get Mason back but then I had to change it because it was the SAME EXACT way that Nitika got into Division to stop Percy's satillate towards the end of this season. Anyways please review! It's greatly appreciated!
