Right I'm back after my holiday to Spain. I apologise for keeping you all hanging and I'm sorry that the story wasn't as good as it started out as. I'm going to try hard and salvage what respect ye used to have for me and the story. I'm going to try and give it a good ending, well, an interesting ending. Heads-up: It won't be following the storyline. Thanks to jakelover4ever for your persistence, I hope you like it dude…

"We've got an address" Sean was on the phone to Birkhoff, "We're on our way now". Birkhoff was worried about Nikita, but he didn't want Alex to just barge in, she wasn't thinking straight. Sean was trying to calm her down before they got to the house, but it was hard, she was going to do whatever it took to get Nikita back.

Sean pulled up outside. He turned to Alex as she was loading her gun and took a deep breath. "I want you to wait here" said Sean nervously. Alex looked at him with an amused expression, it was the first time he'd seen her smile since Nikita's kidnap. "Oh, Ok" she said laughing and picking up a Sigmus 9. Sean caught her arm as she went for the handle of the door. "I'm serious, stay in the car. If I need a hand, you'll hear, but for now, stay put".

"I'm going in there to save Nikita, and there's nothing you can do about it. I won't hesitate to harm you if you get in my way, clear?" Sean swallowed hard, "Alex, this isn't like you". Alex stepped out of the car and closed the door quietly behind her. Sean jumped out and followed her.

Alex stood to the right of the front door and grasped the handle. "I'll take point" said Sean. Alex thought for a moment and nodded. Sean raised his weapon as Alex turned the handle, "It's locked". Sean smiled, "I don't even know why we thought it would be open. He's kidnapped an ex-Division agent, not a care bear". Alex smiled, "we need to kick it in". Sean nodded, "Ready?" She took a deep breath, tightening her grip on the gun, knowing that they're losing the element of surprise. Sean took three steps back, held his breath, and thundered forward.

5 minutes earlier…

"Nik-ita" called Brandt teasingly. Her wrists ached with pain as the blood welled and ran from her restrained wrists to her elbows and dripped to the ground, a small pool forming beneath her.

"It looks like you are on your own. No one has tried to save you, no one cares about Nik-ita anymore" Brandt was running his fingers down Nikita's neck towards her chest. She squirmed at his touch, but was unable to do anything about it.

"We could have been something, something real special. Do you remember the first time we met? It was in Sao Paulo, you were wearing a long purple dress, said you had one too many Mojitos. I thought you were exotic, and mysterious, just what I was looking for. But you had to screw it up, screw me up!" "I was following orders! I never cared about you, it was all an act. No One could EVER care about you! So why don't you just kill me alre…"

BANG!
