Chapter 21: Nitefall

Nikita, Tori and Nicole are in one of the bedrooms in the large house doing some yoga and also listening to the television on what's going on in Quebec City of an assassination. As the men of the house are watching Odin and Birkoff dual off on a computer game. Michael and Nikita seemed to stop what they were doing when the name "Ramon" was spoken out from the reporter's mouth. Balthier closely watches his parents gluing their eyes to the television then motioning everyone else to stop and pay attention.

"Odin. Birkoff. Look into this now." Michael ordered.

Tori and Nicole both follow Nikita into the computer room with everyone else.

"Did you get anything yet?" Mike asked.

"It's not a twitter feed Mikey, its shadowbot." Birkoff said.

"He was captured six years ago then was slipped by the agent." Mike said.

"No I caught him and gave him up to a division grab team." Nikita said to clarify Michael's statement.

"Well it says here that Ramon was caught and released. He's now working with division. This is the map all the kills he done with division from six years ago till now." Birk explained pulling up the world map with the dots of the kill hits.

Odin is doing his part of the work for Birkoff getting the location when the reporter is going to air next about the scene. He then pulls everything up on the three computer screens above him then tugging his father's shirt getting his attention since he's still unable to talk.

"Good work little man. Odin and Chris you both stay here. Nicole you're on standby till I say otherwise. Birkoff, Balthier and Tori you three are going with Nikita and I. Birkoff go and get the Tahoe ready as we get out com units and other gear needed." Michael said giving out the orders.

Odin slips off the chair and runs over to Nikita and hugs her tightly then pulling away looking up at her then signs to her to 'Be careful'. Then he returned back onto his chair beside Chris. Mike puts on a light blue dress shirt, beige suit pants along with the beige suits matching jacket. He's walking on out to the car garage putting on the glasses then getting into the back of the Tahoe with Bal and Tori. Nikita opens the garage door and Birkoff pulls out of there and onto the streets to the point the reporter is presume to be at.

Upon arriving to the area, Mike gets out of the SUV going to work his wisdom as everyone sits back in the Tahoe and waits for the cue. He walks up to the reporter that just finished another part of the segment.

"Very nice work as always. Ms. Patel, My name is Mike Royce from CNN." He said handing her a business card.

"Senior Evening News Producer." She said reading the car out loud.

"I've been watching you… Well not just right now but on the air, your network and reports." He said as they started laughing.

"Nice. Awkward. Girls like awkward. It makes them feel special." Nikita retorted.

Birkoff beside her in the driver seat gave her a weird look crooking his eyebrow up feeling some tension what's happening to his friends cover. Bal and Tori also looks at each other then back at their mother.

"Mom, it's just a cover. He's still yours." Bal said putting a hand on her left shoulder to ease the tension there.

"Anyways you filed some great pieces on 'Ramon' there pretty exclusive." Mike said.

"I'm a lucky girl." Ms. Patel said smiling.

"Let's just say you about to get even luckier." Mike said with a smirk.

"Whoa….." Nikita said listening on in the conversation.

"Do you want to get a coffee?" He asked.

"Yeah sure I know a great place that's nearby. Walk me to my car?" She then asked him.

"Absolutely." He replied quickly as they start walking.

"So anyways were looking to do a news magazine, prime time, big stories but need a face with a cross-cultural impact."

"Cross cultural … wait what? Where does he come up with this stuff?" Nikita asked.

"I don't know mom, but it's funny like he knows how to be a news man instead some undercover agent." Tori said in between each laugh.

"I'm starting to think that he was Naval Officer of the branches news network than real military man or former assassin too." Nikita said.

"I did my research and knowing that you'll be our lead candidate than the other that we looked into." He explained as they got to her car.

"Lead candidates... then I have to make you forget the others." She said placing her purse on the roof of her car.

Nisha Patel pulls him in closer into a kiss Michael is suddenly stuck trying to think of Nikita in the current motion. He soon play along with the little act knowing Nikita will be hearing on this and isn't going to like it one bit.

"Wow, The state of Journalism in our Culture." Birkoff said.

"Okay, Mr. Bond just complete the mission." Nikita said starting to get mad.

"Hey don't get too worked up, remember it's just a cover." Tori said trying to calm down her mother.

Michael placed a tracker in her purse since he's too caught up in the kiss he's having with Nisha his hand suddenly pulls away from the purse but it falls on the ground.

"Oh damn sorry." He said kneeling down picking up her purse and sees a division stat phone nestled in her bag.

"Do you want to call division or should i?" Michael asked looking up at Nisha.

She then begins to fight him doing some butt kicking move roundhouse kicking him to the head making him fall slump against the car like he's knocked out. Nisha quickly grabs the phone and calls division. Doing so Birkoff interrupts the call linking it back to Bal to talk acting as a division dispatcher as Nikita and Birkoff walks to her current position.

"Extension 637-988." Nisha replied to the dispatcher to claim her current situation.

"Go secure." Bal replied.

"I have contact with Michael." Nisha said.

"Please verify your mission parameters." Bal asked.

"I haven't been compromised. I'm calling from a secure phone." She said.

"Please verify you mission parameters." Bal asked again in a harsher tone.

"Operation Solid State protects and provide interface from division asset Ramon." She replied claiming her ops.

"Has Ramon been compromised?" Bal asked.

"Negative." She said back.

"Where is he now?" Bal asked about Ramon's position.

"Division station; Monte De Conception, Colombia." She answered back thinking there is something wrong in this conversation.

Bal hangs up writing down the information. Birkoff and Nikita peer out of the back alley walking toward Nisha.

"Awesome thanks for that." Birkoff said coming into view with Nikita who is injecting a tranquilizer in Nisha. Michael holds his hand out to Nikita for the help up. So she helps him then turns away from him.

"Hey, Hey you know when I kissed her I was totally picturing you." Michael said getting closer to her.

Nikita stepped in closer to him then takes off his glasses folding them close then turning her back to him walking away. Nikita and Birkoff lift Nisha into the trunk of the car. Then they go back to the Tahoe with Michael lagging behind them. Michael gets in to the back next to Bal.

"Your mother is mad at me for the time being." He said.

"No really, I wonder why." Bal said back as they go back home to get Nicole on board for the next part of the mission. Arriving back home, Birkoff sits beside Odin.

"Shall we get this done with?" Birkoff asked.

"Nicole go get suited up. Odin and Chris your still posted here. Nikita will be this mission too." Mike said out the new orders.

"Mikey are you sure? Remember she's pregnant." Birkoff said twirled around in the chair looking at him.

"I'm aware of that. But this was her kill mission in the past. This time it's really going to be done." Mike explained back.

The five goes back to the Tahoe. An hour later they soon arrive at Monte De Conception of Colombia. They get out of the SUV as Bal is still in the SUV stowing into hiding. Michael pulls out his binoculars surveying the area.

"Welcome to Monte De Conception. Land of lush forest, spectacular waterfalls and wily little division assassins. We wish we could join you all to see the view, but we hacked into the U.S. satellite so we have a great view. Now this is a division facility so hacking into the security is not impossible but it's tricky. It's safer if you go native and tap into the grid on the ground." Birkoff quickly briefed them on the situation.

"Copy that. You okay about this mission?" Michael said being concerned about Nikita being on a mission in her condition.

"Yeah, so? I will get Ramon and we'll hogtie him and leave him outside of Interpol in Bogota." She said.

"Okay the rest of the weekend we'll spend on a beach in Aruba. When we get out of this mission alive." He said.

"Barbados." Nikita retorted looking at him.

"Done and Done. Nicole and Balthier with your mother to hack into the grid. Tori you're on me." He gives orders again. He kisses Nikita before they disband into their group positions.

The three walk close to the side of the building. Peering out of the corner they see a vent. Bal puts down his back get some small explosive compound out then places it on the top corners of the vent then presses the button the silent blasts it open. Nicole slides in quick to hook up to the grid. Bal stays close to his mother keeping on guard.

"I got eyes on Ramon on the south balcony looks clear." Michael said over the com unit.

"Wait Michael let Nicole confirm that." Nikita said.

"It looks clear, dad." Nicole also pointed.

"Well looks like we have full of surprises." Michael notices Ramon is in a wheelchair.

"Am I seeing this right? He's in a wheelchair. So he must not be the one doing the hits but only making the videos." Birkoff said in commands at home.

"Hey can I scale this wall?" Tori asked.

"Hold on sister let me check. Okay it's all clear just make it quick you two." Nicole responded.

Both Michael and Tori make a break to the wall of the south balcony. They both climb up it sneaking around making peek where Ramon is at.

"Don't open the door yet you two. Let me disable the sensor…. Okay." Nicole said.

They both go in close to Ramon who is sitting at his desk making another video and having a conversation with Amanda on the other line.

"Nikita there is going to be other hit in twenty minutes." Mike said.

"Who's the target?" Nikita asked.

"Some guy named Kochenko, there is no location on that." Tori said.

"Why does that name sound so familiar to me…" Nikita asked quietly.

"Kochenko was the guy who left the back door open on the 'Black Arrow' op." Birkoff answered her question.

"Alex. She must be the agent to make the kill happen." Nikita said back.

Tori sneaks up behind Ramon pointing her gun at the back of his head.

"My mother was right you did look better in Paris. She showed us all about it." Tori told him.

"And you are?" Ramon asked.

"Nikita's daughter." Tori replied.

"Ah yes, Nikita; Percy's favorite girl who went rouge." Ramon introduced the familiarities of Nikita's past.

"You're really Percy's bitch." Michael cut in.

"Oh Michael I didn't see you there. It's so nice to see you again. How's Nikita now days? I've heard she's pregnant now I assume it's yours. Am I correct?" Ramon said with a grin.

Tori takes a step closer with her gun to his face, Ramon knocks the gun away from his sight then fights with the two before shot has been fired from Tori's gun alerting the guards to come in the room fast. Now the two are distracted with gun fire happening around the room. Ramon quickly makes his move and wheels away to safety. Bal, Nicole and Nikita meets up with them and helps them out.

"Tangos are closing into you fast Mikey." Birkoff said watching on the screen.

"Yeah I got that!" he said yelling and shooting.

Nikita and the other two arrive beside them.

"Ramon is getting away." Tori said.

"Go we can handle this. Don't worry dad I got moms back." He yelled toward his father.

Michael and Tori goes after Ramon in the pickup truck that's driving away. They get onto the off riding bikes that were beside the truck. Meanwhile they chase after Ramon; the three has backed themselves into a locked storage room trying to look for an exit. Tori drives a different way then her father, making a short cut getting ahead of the truck. She gets off the bike throwing the helmet off starts firing at the tires. She hits the both of the front tires causing the truck to stop. Michael caught up with them and pulls Ramon out of the truck.

"I got Ramon." Michael said in his com unit.

"And I have Nikita with your two teenagers." Amanda said through the interrupted com unit.

Both Michael and Tori froze looking at each other and Michael starts talking within the unit.

"Let me guess you want me to trade Ramon for Nikita?" Michael asked.

"Actually I was thinking trading yourself in for your old job back to save Nikita's life." Amanda said.

"She'll be fine till I get Ramon break them out of the safe." Michael spat back.

"I don't think you heard me. I have a predator droid with two AGM hellfire missiles equipped. If you attempt to save Nikita other than going through with my demand. I'll vaporize the house." Amanda announced.

"How do we make the trade then?" Michael asked.

"Kill Ramon and send me the proof. Nikita and your kids will walk free." Amanda added.

FIVE MINUTES LATER.

"Michael times up. Where's my proof?" She demanded.

"I can't kill him, it's not my kill." He uttered.

"That's too bad." Amanda said.

They get on the bike a full throttle back to the house.

"Fire the missile! Fire it now!" She ordered watching the pegs moving back to the house.

The phone in the safe room begins to rings. Bal searches toward the sound its coming from. He then picks up the phone. Ramon is on the other line telling there is an underground bombshell passage for them to get out safely. Within seconds he grabs his mothers and sisters hand moving into the passage. They walk to the other end, as they are walking the missiles hits the house. Michael and Tori were blown off the bikes from the blast. Both getting up and standing close to each other panicking thinking they just lost their family. Michael begins to start balling with a arm wrapped around Tori's side. Then a creaking sound near them goes off their looking towards the direction looking close past the debris and dust. Two shadow figures appear then a third one comes into view from the help of the other two. Michael and Tori run towards them and giving them big hugs. Michael kissing Nikita deeply they pull away from the talking in their ears.

"Do we have anything? Someone give me a status report!" Amanda demanded looking stern at the house going up in flames.

"Yeah you missed. Looks like you have to call off that hit. How's that?" Nikita responded to Amanda from her really close of an life and death experience.

They rushed back to the hidden SUV. Nicole fixes the center console up to make a seat. Giving her parents all the time they need from very close situation. Balthier pulls out of there quickly heads home so they can rest.

"No more missions for you no matter how you feel about it. I can't lose you both." Michael whispered in her ear holding her close to him.

"Can we go to the beach now? Leave the dangerous work to the kids?" Nikita asked.

"Yes we can. I look forward to it. Barbados right?" He asked her.

"Yes, please." She said smiling at him then kisses him.
