Sorry it took me forever to update. I had school and I'm in the musical this year which peformances are in 2 weeks so it's been a hetic week! Anyway I've updated so enjoy...

"It says here that Tristan Rodgers was involved in bringing down a drug bust just outside of Albany," Birkhoff told Michael, "He said he smelled something and the scent led him to the warehouse where the bust happened."

Michael nodded, "So how does this involve him moving his company to the United States?"

Birkhoff searched around before he answered, "That's the tricky part. This was to show people in America that he's changed. Since he knew something happened when he last visited here. It is also believed that he hopes to obtain the warehouse across the street when he officially moves his company."

"So he takes out the competition and then gets all of the new clients," Nikita said entering the room, "He spoke of that move when…we talked."

"Nikita you know we don't have to do anything about Tristan if you don't want to," Michael added as he went to console her.

Nikita shook her head, "It's not that I want to, I need to. The sooner Tristan's out of the picture, the sooner I can try to infiltrate Division and get Mason back."

Birkhoff coughed as he gained Nikita and Michael's attention, "I accessed Tristan's schedule, and he's scheduled to go to a charity dinner tonight."

Nikita nodded, "We strike tonight, and Division will probably be there."

"Which means we should just let them handle Tristan," Michael added, "Amanda will be too busy occupied with that, which could possibly give us a lift."

Nikita shook her head as she left the room, "Mikey boy do you have any idea what you're doing?" Birkhoff asked jokingly, he could feel tension between the two as he tried to lighten the mood.

Michael nodded as he spoke, "Yeah I know what I'm going to do, I'm going to help Nikita get her son back. But we're going to do it my way."

Michael got up to leave, as he left Birkhoff told him, "Good luck trying to do that." Michael tried to laugh at Birkhoff's comment but he knew it was true, Nikita would get her way one way or another, and he just had to try and to make sure he got his way before she figured out what he was trying to do. But all he could really think of was how this all was affecting Nikita and how it reminded him of those times at Division when it seemed that only him could get her to feel better.

"I hate to send you on another babysitting mission but I've about had it with Nikita," Percy started, "Now go talk to her and make her feel like she's needed around her. Everyone knows that she isn't but at least make her feel like it."

Michael nodded, "Yes sir is there any way that we could try to send her on a mission?"

Percy shook his head, "There is no way that Nikita is going out on mission in her condition, imagine what would happen in Oversight found out I let her out on a mission they would have my head, yours too."

"Sorry just trying to see if there was way we could let her have some fun," Michael added, "She's been stuck down here a long time."

Amanda then piped up adding, "Actually that could work. Didn't you want to send someone out on a mission much like Nikita's first one? Where they would be living on sight?"

"Yeah but that would be a little tricky," Percy stated, "You yourself said it would be best if she stayed at Division."

Michael nodded as he sat listening, "What if I talk to her and see what she thinks?"

Amanda rolled her eyes, "I've found it that when agents get a choice that they tend to say no."

Michael thought about it, he knew what mission they were talking about. There was a couple living in Brooklyn that Division feared had nuclear secrets if there was a married couple living next door maybe they could grow closer and get even more Intel than a single agent. "What if she was sent out on Operation Eagle Eye?" he wondered.

"You mean where she would have to live next door to that couple who might have secret a nuclear lab?" Percy asked.

"Yes," Michael added, "What if she and another agent posed as a married couple? They could probably gain more Intel that way then sneaking into the house when the couple isn't home."

Amanda nodded, "Also with Nikita being in the shape she's in, it would really pull the married idea off. Not to mention that Nikita could get tons of secrets out of the girl."

Percy nodded thinking about the plan, "Fine we'll do that but Michael you're the other agent. I don't think it will work as well with anyone else."

"Of course I'll go prep her right now," Michael stated getting up. He couldn't believe that worked, he didn't think it would. The only problem was now he was stuck living with Nikita for at least three months and there is a very good possibility that he won't make it out alive.

"What do you want Michael?" Nikita asked as he entered her old recuit room.

Michael showed her a folder with the words Eagle Eye written on it, "You've been selected for an opt."

Nikita rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, Percy must be out of his right mind if he selected me for a mission." Michael laughed as he pushed gave her the folder, "You were serious?"

Michael nodded as he saw Nikita's face light up, he could sense a smile on his face although he hoped she didn't notice. He still felt somewhat responsible for the position that Nikita was now stuck in. "Yeah, it will be an on site mission a lot like your first one. You just have to try to get Intel from this couple that will live next to you."

"Oh my Michael I don't know what to say but thank you," Nikita smiled as she pulled him for a hug, "I know I shouldn't hug you but you deserve it!"

"Yeah no problem," Michael added, "There is just one thing, with your given condition, Percy feels that the mission would be played out better if you and another agent were to pose as a married couple."

Michael watched as Nikita's smile slid into a frown, "Who am I stuck with? Please tell me it's not Birkhoff."

Michael got up and walked towards Nikita's door before answering, "Sorry Nikita, Birkhoff's busy you'll just have to deal with me."

Michael watched Nikita plan in their room, what was going on with Tristan Rodgers was really hitting her hard. He tried his best to give her space but it hurt him that she was hurting so bad, all he really wanted to do was to hold her in his arms and do nothing else. But he knew that once she was determined to do something, it wouldn't stop her, no matter how much he tried. "Nikita," he said distracting her, "why don't we go take a walk? Let's forget about what's going on right now."

"Michael we have a party to go to in less than twelve hours," Nikita told him, "I don't have time to forget about what's been happening these past few days."

Michael nodded as he pulled her into a hug, "Ok how about we still get some air, I find that it always helps before going out on a mission." Nikita nodded, as much she didn't want to, Michael was right she needed to take a break for a bit. She took Michael's hand and let him lead her to somewhere unknown.

After a short car ride, Nikita could tell that they were in Central Park; she held Michael's hand as they walked around on one of the many trials. They walked for what seemed like miles before Michael started, "Nikita don't you feel that your too attached to this mission?"

"Of course I am," Nikita stated, "I'm afraid of what Division is going to do with o…my son. I don't even know if they're going to kill Tristan or if they are just going to hand Mason over to them."

Michael nodded, he felt like Nikita was hiding something from him but he didn't pursue it. He knew that she was under a lot of stress and he didn't want her to stress out any more than she was. "I know for a reason that Division won't give Mason to Tristan, Amanda wanted him dead from day one. She'll probably send a kill team; she's probably not planning to do anything with Mason for now."

Nikita agreed, "I know that but I feel like there is some way Amanda will find to keep Mason away from me and that I'll never be able to find him. Whether that's keeping him under lock and key at Division or at some safe house around the world, you never know. I just wish I could have taken him when I had the chance!"

"What do you mean?" Michael asked, he knew that she must have meant when she left division, but that was a decision he knew that she had considered when she went rogue. But if anyone would have spotted her leaving Division with Mason, an alarm would have gone off and then her plan would have been blown. "When you left Division after you went rogue? Or when Alex helped me bring you in?"

Nikita now with tears in her eyes, added, "Anytime would have been nice, now I have no idea how to break him out. I should have just left Division after he was born when I was still living with him on the outside. Things would have worked better."

Michael looked at Nikita and then said, "But then we would probably wouldn't be together."

"I feel you would have broken out after a while, once you figured out that Kasim wasn't the one responsible for your family's deaths, I'm sure you would have found a way out," Nikita answered, "When you lose someone, it really takes an affect on you."

"Nikita can I ask you something?" Michael wondered as he took Nikita's hand, "After we got back from Russia, you were so distant, why?"

Nikita looked away, "I was naïve, and I thought you were avoiding me. It didn't help that you left right away the morning after."

"I couldn't afford Division finding out," Michael added, "Percy probably would have cancelled us both.

Nikita asked, "Why because we slept together? That didn't have to be known but you could have at least talked to me that morning instead of just running away."

Michael looked down as he was ashamed for what had happened, "I'm sorry, I had a lot to think about. It was the first time…that…first time that I had been with anyone since my family was killed it was hard for me. Plus I had to give Division a full report immediately, it was just easier for me to leave and figure stuff out my way."

"I understand," Nikita said, "It just hurt me a lot, we had just hooked up and then you were gone and acted as if nothing happened. I just tried my best to do the same."

Michael couldn't stand it anymore; he pulled her in close and kissed her passionately. "Why don't we go home?" Nikita nodded as she followed him back to the car. Where they got in and drove back to their safe house where they then started to plan how they would strike tonight at the party.
