" Nikita. We have her location" Birkoff shouted.
"What? Where?" Nikita asked in relief.
" 3 km from here. In a warehouse" Birkoff said " I will send the coordinates in your smartphone, go"
Nikita turned to leave but Michael's hand stopped her.
" No, Nikita. You are not going to go anywhere. Alex asked me to keep you and Sean safe no matter what. I will go rescue her and you are going to join Sean and play with their little girl" Michael ordered.
" What? You can't be serious?" Nikita said in disbelief.
" Yes. I am. You are going to stay here and let me do my job. I will bring Alex back. Respect her wish, Nikita"
" No way" Nikita said firmly.
" Nikita, this is our only shot. I am not going to let you out there. You are going to be responsible if something happens to Alex" Michael replied seriously knoing that he played a ouchy card
" You will bring her back safe or I am gonna kick your ass" Nikita threaten and went to find Sean.
Awhile later...
"Birkoff I want eyes inside" Michael asked in a low voice.
" It's done, Michael. You are clear. In the house there are only Alex and the doctor. But when you enter the house we will have to turn into radio silence. I won't be able to warn if something happens so be fast" Birkoff said.
Everyone were watching at the screen in the ops.
Michael entered the house. He tried to be really fast and unnoticable. Then she heard Alex's screams. The doctor was trying to take out the bullet of her leg without anaesthitic. Michael followed the screams and entered the room. Instantly, he shot the doctor and headed to Alex's body.
"Oh. .No" Birkoff shouted.
" What's wrong?" Nikita asked worried.
"Amanda, she is coming back and I can't warn them. Crap" Birkoff yelled. "Michael just get out of there"
" We can't inform them through Amanda's camera" Sean asked nervously.
"No that bitch cut our communication with Alex. We only have visual contact" Birkoff cried.
" Alex? Are you ok?" Michael asked while he untied her and left his gun on the table near to her.
" yes. I am fine. Let's go out..." Alex said and then her face became dark.
Like a slow motion she saw Amanda pulling out her gun and pointed to Michael's back. Suddenly, she grabbed Michael's gun from the table and she stood up, she put herself in front of Michael like a shield and the two women pulled the trigger at the same time. Amanda's bullet found Alex's right arm and Alex's bullet killed Amanda on spot. Then while Michael was yelling her name, she collapsed.
"Alex?" Sean said in a grave voice. He was ready to cry.
Michael took Alex's body and took her out of the house in the Division's van.
"Birkoffffffff!" He shouted when he got a signal. " I need the medical team ready for Alex. She has a really weak heart beat." Michael cried
He was driving like a maniac. In 2 minutes he was back in Division and walked Alex's body in the operation theatre.
" Sir. We need you to stay outside. We will do our best" the doctor said and ran back to Alex.
The whole team was standing anxious outside Alex's room and waited for the doctor to inform them.
" We did what we could." the doctor said.
" Her damage is really serious and her heart weak. She had two gunshots, some broken ribs, a crashed hand, infection in her fingers where Amanda ripped her nails off, fever, and it is obvious that she had been beaten up and was tortured. If she goes through that night she is going to be ok. But I have to be honest with you, the statistics aren't with her right now. I will be surprised if she gets through this" the doctor said sadly.
" She is a survivor. She will come back to us" Nikita cried.
