Sorry for the late update, I was really busy the past few days. I'm also working on another story so keep an eye out for that. As for this chapter, hope you like it. And remember, keep reviewing :D

WHAT DID YOU SAY BIRKHOFF?! BIRKHOFF! " screamed Nikita, right behind him in an uncontrollable rage, it seemed that she had been awake for a few hours and her world was already spining out of control.

In front of her was a stunned birkhoff confused between two of the worlds most stubborn people screaming in his ears.

"Whats going on? Who's there, tell me! " Screamed Michael from the other side.

"Uhhh... Michael.. It's Nikki and I think she's heard ...everything"

"You bet your ass I have... What the hell is wrong with you people let me talk to Michael, give me that thing", she snatched the phone away

"Michael? Michael what's going on, where are you, please tell me what i just heard is some sick joke, you can't possibly be thinking of going into division, not alone, especially not at this time, not without...me" ,He voice broke towards the end trying to avoid the thoughts that were coming in her head.

"Hey, relax, I won't be alone... Birkhoff would be with me the entire time and we've got the entire thing planned out, you really don't have to worry, and trust me, if this mission wasn't absolutely necessary, I won't be doing it."

"Michael, it's suicide to go there with no backup, and if you don't want to stop, then at least let me help you, tell me where are you?"

" no, absolutely not, listen I HAVE to do this, they have Sean and I have to get him back and it will be a whole lot easier if I know that you're safe plus you can barely move around I can't risk losing you again."

"And how do you think I feel huh? knowing that you're probably signing your own death certificate? You don't know what I went through over there at the safe house when I thought you were... and then, when I found you, i swore to myself that I will never suffer this kind of pain again, so I am coming if you are even if we do die, at least we die together."

"No, please don't talk like that, nobody's dying, I won't let anyone or anything hurt you".

"And how do you plan on doing that by harming yourself, Michael the only way to protect me is to keep yourself safe, I would ask you to stop but since you're so hell bent on going on this mission, I'm coming too. Because you need some sort of backup, if you plan to make it out of there alive,even if it is from a limping mess like me", Nikita begged trying to make him understand her point

"You can monitor the mission fro..." Michael started to say.

"I'll go with him, I'll be with him till the very end don't worry, and we'll contact you the moment we're inside, you can trust me.. Just promise me that you'll take care of Sean.", Alex cut in.

"But.. What about...", Nikita started to protest

"No buts , it's decided, Alex would come with me, don't you trust her, nikita PLEASE do this, for me?", Michael asked hoping she would see reason.

"Ok, ok but we won't monitor from the beach house but from a van 15 mins away from division, any sign of trouble and I'm coming for both of you, don't argue Michael This is the best you get and no I don't care whichever condition I'm in. Alex are you sure you'll be able to handle this?"

"Hey, you protect my man, I'll protect yours. As long as I know Sean's out of harms way I'll be fine, besides even I want to see that bitch suffer" Alex said confinedtaly.

"If you say so, but remember I'll only be 15 minutes away if you guys need any help".

"Guys the mission is a go, Amanda just contacted me, they'll be here in about an hour" , Alex said

" we better start prepping Nikki, if we want to fit all this tech into one van", birkhoff said a little grouchy not looking forward to all that labour.

As Nikita finally sat down on birkhoff's insistence she realized how tired she really was. She had just gotten up to drink a glass of water when all this happened, and Michael was right, even now she could barely limp, but she had to do this, for Michael and Alex, she had to take care of Sean and make sure he didn't go running back into division as soon as he got wind of this mission. Tonight was going to be a LONG night, Nikita just hoped that it was the last of many.

"So the van is equipped and ready to go, you ready?" Birkhoff asked

"As ready as I'll ever be" nikita said, grabbing her favorite revolver.

They soon met up with Michael and Alex, where they went over the plan once more, Alex was given an ear piece, so they could talk to her as she sneaked into the van at least until they were out of division's signal jammer reach. After that they would break contact for 20 mins, enough to plant the bug in the mainframe, Now that Alex was involved, it should take less time.

Nikita and birkhoff then parked a safe distance away from the warehouse, so that they could easily pick up Sean as soon as Alex left.

Meanwhile, inside the warehouse, Alex was getting restless

"Ugggh, what's taking them so long?"

"Relax, they'll be here, but until then, tie be back"

"Uhh, what?"

"Yeah tie me back, or they'll suspect something's wrong and hit me"

"Michael I'm not going to hit you"

"Alex, you have to, come on and make it look real. Hurry! Before they get here"

"Ok, I guess just... I'm sorry in advance and I dont think I've said this enough but thank you , for everything."

" You're welcome, now punch!", Alex did as asked, just then a black division SUV pulled up right in front of the warehouse. And so, it had begun.
