"Nikita, if this was Michael, or Birkoff or even Ryan, what would you do?" Alex says.
I look down for a moment and reply "Okay Alex. You're right." I take Amanda and slam her into the wall and grab her neck. "If you are lying, I swear to you that I will find you and I will kill you." I let her go and she gasps for breath.
"Don't worry, I'm not lying" she says with a smirk. "I always love seeing that monster inside of you."
"Get the hell out of here before I change my mind." I say, and she walks out. Michael runs in.
"Was that..did you just let Amanda walk out of here?" he asks in surprise.
"Sean's alive." Alex responds. "And the only way to get him back was to let her go."
"Why did you let her?" Michael turns to me and raises his voice slightly. "We fought this battle and we won. Now we are back to square one, and that's on you."
"Why are you acting like this?" I ask him. "Sean was part of our team. We don't ever leave a member of our team behind. I was hesitant too, but if Amanda had me instead of Sean, what would you have done? " I continue, looking at Michael the entire time.
"Damn it" he says and kicks the wall.
"Michael, calm down. We will find her. I promise" I say to him. "Alex, give us a minute" I tell her, and she nods and walks out.
"Nikita, I love you. I wanted this chapter of our life to be over, so we could finally move on...together" he says.
I place my hand on his cheek. "I promise we will. And then we will have all the time in the world. We can go to Mexico like you always wanted. We can drink cocktails on the beach. We have time"
Michael leans in and kisses me. "I'm just worried about you. I've seen how Amanda has affected you before. I just don't want her to get in your head again"
"She won't. We are both stronger than ever" I assure him. "Let's get out of here. We can get dinner at the restaurant you've always wanted to go to."
He smiles and we walk out hand in hand.
