Michael POV:
We reach the warehouse and Alex and I both kick down the door. The warehouse is a maze. We don't hear anything and it's eerie quiet. Suddenly I hear her screams. "NIKI-" I start to shout. Alex covers my mouth with her hand.
"We need to be quiet. We will find her, but not if we get caught." She says. I nod, knowing she is right. Nikita hang on, we are coming, I think, hoping my thoughts will somehow reach her.
Nikita POV:
I hear myself scream, but I don't feel myself scream. I am numb everywhere. I pant and feel my life fading. "Don't tell me that's all you have" he says close to my ear.
"please….please…" I whimper. He walks over to the machine and turns the knob to the highest.
"Last chance to tell me why you killed my family, or i push this button and you will die." he says. I don't say anything and simply lay back and close my eyes preparing for what is to come. "Have it your way." Suddenly I hear a voice.
Michael POV:
"Nikita!" I yell, "Put your hands up" I yell at Simon.
"No...don't kill him….take him….." Nikita whispers. Alex knocks him out and ties his hands. I run over to Nikita. I undo her restraints. She shivers. I stroke her hair.
"I've got you. You're okay.." I say to her and wrap my jacket around her as she passes out. We go out and put Simon in the trunk. On the way back to the safe house, I stay in the back with Nikita in my lap. I can tell her sleep is racked with nightmares.
Nikita POV:
I wake up in a soft bed, with Michael at my side. "What happened?" I ask.
"I thought I had lost you. You have been sleeping for 36 hours." Michael explains. "I do have one question though, why do you want Simon alive?"
"I'll explain later, but first I need to speak with Alex." I tell him.
"I'll get her." he says. A few minutes later Alex comes in.
"How are you?" she asks when she comes in.
"I've been better." I reply. "I do have a question though, when I was with Simon, he told me some things that I thought were...interesting. Before I left, you said that my memories were...taken from me? Explain." I say curiously.
"Are you sure you want to know?" she asks.
"Alex please. I need the truth" I say.
"Okay. I don't know how to say this...but uh Amanda and Percy, she isn't who you think. She kidnapped you and took away your memories. Me and you, we were...are a team. We were trying to take down Division ."
"Wow that a lot to take in" I say.
"Here. If you want your memories back, I can give them back to you." she holds a device, a silver tube that was cut in half.
"Why didn't you do it while I was out?" I ask.
"Because this needs to be your choice. If you want to keep this life, then I can live that. You're happy with Michael, I would never take that away from you." she says sadly.
"I want the truth. I trust you. Do it." I say, a little fearful of what the truth could hold.
"This may sting" She says. She places the tubes on either side of my head and turns them on.
