CHAPTER TWO

RUNNING AWAY & LEAVING

NIKITA'S (P.O.V) Writing that letter folding it up putting it in the envelope leaving it on the window still I walked into the room where everyone else was I looked around smiling at everyone. This will be a long time before I see them again. I could still here Amanda's words in my head. ''Nikita has escaped but she is all over the news. We could release a better photo of her no we got what we wanted. We got them off our backs and away from what we want to do. We have the real president as long as no one finds out. Nikita will still be a wanted lady on a wanted poster and all over the news and the presidents assassin.'' They weren't saying that to me they were just talking about me I don't even think she knew I was still listening and could still hear her conversation with Ari Tasarov.

They all started making plans I was in Michaels arms then he let me go to explain somethings. I diserpeared down the stairs took my engagement ring off looked at it and placed it down on the letter and walked out to my car. I got in and started it up I listened as it came to life with a purr of the engine I put the car into gear and drove away thats when I let the tears fall down my face. 10 Minutes later my cell phone lit up and started ringing I looked at it it was Michael I couldnt talk to him and then I remembered Birkhoff could track my cell phone so I turned it off and threw it the back seat of my car. I kept driving until i was to tired to stay awake anymore pulled over into a parking lot behind the mall. I got in the back seat and layed grabbed the blanket and set my alarm on my burn phone that only Alex knew about and went to sleep.

BIRKHOFF (P.O.V) ''Mickey I had her and then she turned her cell phone off so i lost her sorry Mikey I tried'' Birkhoff said looking over at Michael and watched as his face dropped even more into his stone hard face locking all his emotion's away. ''Where are you niki why did you have to leave'' I thought to myself as I packed up the last of my computer gear as Owen and Ryan came in and grabbed the gear and took the gear out to the cars while the girls Alex and Sonya took there bags out following Owen and Ryan down the stairs. Sean and Michael were packing up the guns and making sure that none were missing. I walked up to Michael and said ''is there anything missing or anything that needs replacing Mickey'' Michael looked up a me from where he was sitting checking all the guns and said ''yea Nikita's guns and knives are missing but other than that notthing needs to get replaced but we will need to get some more bullets.''

He then looked back down and put the gun he was looking at in it's gun case closed the case stood up bent down picked up the gun case and a couple of sports bags full of bullets and walked out of the room down the stairs. Sean looked over to Birkhoff and said ''what the hell was Nikita thinking leaving us like this Alex is a mess and Michael looks like his favourite puppy was murdered but only 20 times worse.'' I grimced and said ''when Michael was first recruited to division he was a mess wouldnt sleep eat drink all he did was train the only person he talked to was me. See he lost his wife and baby there car blew up. But when Nikita was recruited to division he started to change he got more sleep he ate more and he seemed happy then Nikita went rouge and Mikey started slipping away again.'' ''Get to the point Birkhoff'' Sean said sighing ''what im saying Sean is Michael looks alot worse than he did at the start of division and its only going to get worse he has nighmares.''

Sean grabbed the rest off the guns and bullets in the sports bags and walked down the stairs. I looked around seeing if I had forgot anything picked up the last two cases of guns turned the lights out walked down the stairs and out the door. Owen and Ryan jogged over and took the gun cases from me and put them in the car with the rest of the guns. I looked around and was taken back a little bit Alex was in Michaels arms Alex was crying Michael was rubbing her back trying to calm her down. ''Do we have everything'' Owen called out to me I looked over and said ''yea we do'' Owen nodded ''alright lets go its a long drive to the mansion. Sonya walked over to me i smiled a sad smile and took her hand walked over to my car and opened the door she got in I closed it softly and then walked over to Mikey Sean was there two. ''Is Alex asleep'' I asked Mikey ''yea here i'll take her and put her in the car or do you want her to travel with you Michael'' Sean asked.

Michael looked a little put out but said ''uh not trying to keep you away from her but can you Ryan and Owen travel together I don't think she wants to travel with you or leave me right now'' Michael said this while looking at Sean Ryan and Owen Sean smiled a small sad smile and said ''I don't mind at all your like a father figure to Alex just if something happens can you tell me'' Michael smiled and said ''yea i will.'' Michael then picked Alex and placed her in the passenger seat put her belt on then closed her door softly then. He walked over to me and said ''I'm fine Birkhoff we will stop in a little while for food'' and then walked away. I nodded at Sean Ryan and Owen and then turned around walked over to my car got in started it up and put it in gear and followed everyone. Sonya leant over took my hand and held it her and fell asleep i sighed and thought to myself ''this was going to be a long drive.''
