Chapter 17

What the hell did he want with the Neski files,I thought. What was in it for him? Was there something else that he wasn't telling me? He's told me enough. This is all I need to know. I didn't need to know anymore.

It didn't take us too long to get the airport. I hated leaving this place. It really was a nice place. But the job was finished now and now I could go home.

We got out of the car and went to my gate. I didn't want him to leave me…but his job wasn't over yet. He still had stuff to car of.

"Don't follow me to Moscow,"he said.

I nodded. "All right."

"I'll come to your house after I get my money."

I nodded again,and this time I didn't say anything.

He kissed me. "Everything's going to be ok now."

"Why did you do it? Why did you kill those men?"I whispered so no one could hear me.

"I can't talk about that now. I'll tell you later. I need to go. I'm late."

I sighed. "All right."

"Hey. You should be happy."

"I know. I'm just wondering if…"

"If what?"

"What if he isn't dead?"

"He's dead Nicole. He drowned in the river. Now don't worry about it and get on your plane or you're going to miss it."

"Let me come back to you to Moscow."

"Only if you want to get killed."

"They don't care."

"Let's not argue about this. Get on your plane and go home."

I sighed. "Ok."

He kissed me again. "I love you,"and he walked off.

"I love you too,"I whispered. Just promise me that you won't leave me again,I thought. I can't live without you.

None of this made sense at all. Why did he want those files so badly? Or why did they want the files so badly? Did they want Jason to come out of hiding or did they want him to get caught?

I needed to find out more. I had read enough about Neski in the past. He and his wife were shot and that's about it. But was there more? Did Jason Bourne kill them and was that the reason why Kirill was going after him? I just wish I knew more…

I got home in the late morning hours. It was nice to be home for a change. But I still wanted to go back to India. I could have called that place my home. But I wasn't finished with my job. I needed to find out more,and quickly. But I was interrupted by the phone.

"Hello?"I asked.

"I'll be there in a couple of hours,"said Kirill.

"Ok."

"Is everything all right?"

"Yes. Everything's fine. They don't know…do they?"

"No."

I sighed. "Oh thank god."

"Don't worry about it. Everything's been taken care of. Is his wire still on?"

I checked the computer. "No. It must have come off when he was in the river."

"They'll probably call me if he's still alive."

"How long are you staying?"

"I only have a month…and then I have to go back. That's all I know."

"What about the Neski files?"

"It's been taken care of."

"Ok."

"I thought you quit."

"I did Kirill…I just want to know more…"

"There's nothing more that you need to know."

"I want to know about the men in Berlin Kirill."

"They had the Neski files."

"That's why you killed them?"

"I didn't have a choice."

"There's something else isn't there? You wouldn't have done that unless there was money involved."

"$300,000."

"Are you serious?"

"Yeah."

"Did you steal it?"

"I gave it to them,I got half."

"Oh…"

"Everything's over now."

"Unless he's still alive."

"I told you that everything was taken care didn't I?"

I sighed. "Yes."

"Then stop worrying so much all right?"

"Ok."

"I'll see you in a couple of hours."

"Ok."

"I love you."

"I love you too."

"Bye,"and he hung up.
