Ahhhh I know, I'm so horrible leaving you with a cliffy and then not updating for a while but the computer that I keep all my stories on couldn't get the internet and I had stuff at school going on that I kinda of took a break. I know I'm horrible, hopefully this will make up for it.
"I'm saying the answer's no. Am I right?" Nikita smirked.
Tristan laughed as he walked towards her, "Oh I know who you are. You're reason that it's taken me five years to be allowed back into the states. You're the reason that I've lost a lot of very important partners in my business."
"Business," Nikita laughed, "you call your line of work a business?"
"Don't mess with me," Tristan said tilting his head, "or else your friend will get it."
"She has nothing to do with this," Nikita stated bluntly.
"Oh but if she was sent to kill me, then she has everything to do with this Josephine!" Tristan replied.
Nikita was about to reply when one of Tristan's men shouted; "Lower your weapon!" Alex, along with Nikita and Tristan all turned to see the commotion. Sean, who had somewhat recovered, had his gun pointed straight at Nikita.
"It's the not the time for this, boy scout," Nikita said stepping away from Tristan.
"It sure seems like a good time," Sean replied, "It's actually a great time, you know. Kill two birds with one stone."
"I highly doubt that son," Tristan added, "Only one bird is getting killed today."
"Yeah he's right about that," Michael added stepping out of the shadows pointing his gun at Sean, "at least not the bird that he's thinking about."
"Uh guys do we really have to this stare down thing with minimal conversation? Because I'm still kinda handcuffed to a chair here," Alex questioned.
"So Tristan this is how it's going to go down," Nikita stated, "Free Alex and you get to go free."
"Nikita," Michael warned.
"Or we can kill you and your little gang right now and then free Alex. Your call." She finished.
"Or I can walk away with you and the girl," Tristan added.
Michel interrupted, "You're not going to be able to get away with that. Another strike and rescue team will be here shortly. Correct Sean?"
Sean nodded still not dropping his gun. "So were all agreed," Nikita started. "Hand over Alex and you'll get to live for another few days before Division finally finds you."
"Division?" Tristan questioned. "I thought some Russian black ops group called Gogol was after me."
"Oh there are many black ops groups after you sweetie!" Alex stated.
"How many times do we have to tell you to shut up?" the other packrat asked.
Alex smirked, "apparently you have to tell me more often."
There was a loud sound outside and Sean smirked as he said, "Times up!"
Nikita and Michael exchanged looks before each taking out one of Tristan's men. Nikita than ran taking Tristan by the arm as Michael knocked Sean out and grabbed the keys off the lifeless bodyguard. He quickly took a couple shots at the incoming Division agents before hiding behind a corner for protection.
Meanwhile Nikita emerged with Tristan in front of her, pointing a gun at his head. "He's yours if you leave now!" she screamed.
"We're here to take both of you," One of the Division operatives yelled.
Alex sat and watched as everything went down, before she knew it Michael had thrown her the keys. She slowly worked at freeing herself as Nikita warned, "I'm giving you a choice. Take it or leave it."
The Division operative didn't have time to respond as Michael fired a few more shots and some more of them went down. Alex knocked one of them out and grabbed a gun as she stood next to Nikita. "Take what she's giving you, at least then Amanda won't be as mad with you guys," she added.
Both Nikita and Alex pushed Tristan towards one of the nearest Division operatives and then ran to the end of the warehouse, followed by Michael who fired a couple shots as they made it to their car.
"Birkhoff do you copy?" Michael asked as he jumped into the driver's seat.
Birkhoff responded quickly, "Yeah. There are at least three black SUVs at the site; you guys better get out of there quickly."
"Trust me Birkhoff there's nothing else I'd rather do," Nikita replied turning to Alex. "How are you?"
"Fine," Alex answered, "Been better."
"You don't have to come with us," Nikita told her, "we can drop you off at a bus station and you can go anywhere you like. I hear the Caribbean nice this time of year."
"No," Alex answered, "This is still my fight. Sergei Semak is still out there, and I'm going to help you get your son back."
Nikita froze for a moment before replying, "I…I didn't know that you knew."
"Yeah just one more thing you forgot to tell me about when you roped me into this fight," Alex added.
"Alex I promise, if you join us again no more secrets," Nikita stated, "In fact there's something you need to know about Mason. He's not Tristan's son."
"He's not?" Alex questioned, "Then who is Mason's father."
Michael turned into the driveway of their new safe house as he replied, "We can talk more about this inside, Birkhoff doesn't even know yet."
Nikita nodded as the gate opened and Michael drove into the garage of their beach house. Alex looked all around in astonishment, "How did you guys afford this house?"
Michael and Nikita looked at each other as they both said, "Birkhoff." Nikita got out of the car and made her way inside. Michael glanced at Alex and said, "There's plenty of room if you would want to stay here. I still don't know how to thank you for the intel on Mason."
"Oh don't worry," Alex stated, "I'm glad I could help."
Michael nodded as he opened the door for Alex and they both entered the house. "Well look who finally decided to join the good guys again," Birkhoff said once they entered.
Nikita rolled her eyes, "Birkhoff leave her alone, she's had a rough day. Alex if you want to clean up and get out of that dress, there's clothes in my closet you can use."
"Thanks," Alex replied as she followed Nikita up the steps and into her room. "Can I ask you one question?" Nikita wondered once they were alone.
"Sure," Alex answered finding a pair of sweatpants; thinking that it was so not Nikita fashion.
"Why?" Nikita wondered as she changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, "Why help me after all the things you found out about."
"It's just like helping Division after all they've done," Alex answered. "They promised me something that I really want, and you promised me a long time ago that we would take down the people responsible for my parents' deaths."
"Yeah but didn't exactly tell you that I was the one that killed your dad," Nikita added, "and as I remember you weren't too happy once you found out."
"I know I wasn't, and I am sorry for shooting you," Alex added.
Nikita smiled, "Me too."
"Anyway, once Amanda told me about Mason I learned more about you. Division didn't just take a fiancée away from you, they took your son. If anyone deserves revenge you do. I can wait to take down Semak, but you've already waited long enough to get your son back." Alex explained as she finished changing.
"You truly have no idea how glad I am that you're helping me, and I promise that I will help you take down Semak,"
"No," Alex answered, "Getting revenge for my family is something that I need to do by myself. And besides by the time I'm ready for it, you'll have Mason to worry about. Speaking of which, what are you going to do once you get him out of Division?"
"I don't know, all I know is I want him as far away from Division as possible," Nikita added, "come on, it's time for our first strategizing meeting."
"It sure has been a long time since we had one of those," Alex smiled, "and one in person no less; we're not using a computer shell program anymore."
"That's for sure, it seems as though days were forever ago," Nikita joked as they made their way to the living room to plan with the rest of the group.
Hope you liked I'll try to update again soon! Nikita is getting really interesting don't you think? WHAT IS PERCY MAKING? LOL
