She ran as fast as she could. Blood was all over her hands. The crimson liquid stained her shirt. "How could you do this to me," a voice said from where she was running from.

She had to get out of there. Alex couldn't believe she had done that. All she wanted was to get out of there. She sprinted down the street. She was running so fast that her lungs were starting to burn. That just made her run faster.

She reached the park bench where a bag of her things were hidden underneath it. She rushed to grab it. When she stood up there he was. He was covered in blood lying on the bench. A knife was slashed across his neck. His eyes were filled with white. "I thought you cared," he said as he was slowly got up.

"I had no choice!" she yelled back as she slowly moved away.

"Everyone has a choice," he took a knife out of his pocket, "Yours was to just watch the ones you loved die," he lunged at her with full force with the blade.

Alex jolted up. Sweat running down her face as her breath was in a rage. She looked around, and was relieved to notice she was in her apartment. She let out a deep sigh trying to calm herself down. It was just a nightmare….. Or more like a flash back.

She wrapped her legs with her arms and placed her head on her knees. She couldn't control the tears that were streaming down her face. Alex hadn't been reminded of that part of her past before. It was the part she hoped would never come back, that it would just disappear, like it never happened.

So much was happening. Vlad was back threatening her, her papa was back, and now Nikita might be lying to her. How could the days of being the little Alexandra Udinov turn into so much pain?

An arm was placed around her from the side of her. She looked up to see Sean looking at her with a worried look. "Whats wrong?" he rubbed her shoulder, in hopes to calm her.

"How did you get here," she wiped a tear away, "If anyone saw you."

"You were upset yesterday so I snuck over," he placed his other arm around her embracing her with a hug, "Don't change the subject tell me what's wrong."

"Nothing," she broke away from Sean and got out of bed, "I'm going out."

She left the apartment. She couldn't deal with now. Besides if I kill Vlad before he even has a chance to tell Sean it won't even matter. Even the name Vlad made her rage. She couldn't stand the thought of him, unless it was down in a grave.

She needed to get him soon she couldn't stand another nightmare like that. But she needed supplies and his location, if she wanted to really make him cry out in pain like he made her so many times before.

She drove to Division without out any hesitation and headed to the armory. "Hey, are you okay," Owen asked before she had time to reach the armory.

"Yeah, I just needed sleep," she replied as began to walk again.

"Nikita wants to see you. She's in Medical," He began to walk away.

Nikita, does she know my father is alive? Is she lying to me every time I even mention him? Alex changed directions and started to walk to medical. It was her chance to get the answer. But she doubted Nikita would just tell her. She didn't even tell her everything last time her father came up. She probably wouldn't even tell her now.

She arrived at medical as Nikita was talking to Michael. "I'll see if Birkoff has any leads," he looked at Alex figuring he needed to give them time.

Nikita smiled at him as he left. "You wanted to see me?" Alex walked in.

She didn't know if she was in the room with someone she considered to practically be her own mother, or with someone who lied to her about one of the most important things in her life.

"Yeah I wanted to see if you were healing okay," she slowly sat up, "I wasn't the only one tortured."

"I'm fine," her face showed no expression, "Are you healing alright."

Nikita looked at her strangely, "Yeah. Being stuck in here is worse than the broken ribs."

A few moments went by of pure awkward silence before Alex spoke, "Did you find out who was working with Amanda?"

Alex watched Nikita looking for anything that might tell her she was lying. "No," Nikita could tell by the way Alex was acting that something was up, "Is there something you're not telling me?"

"No why is there something you're not telling me?" Alex tilted her head with sarcastic curiosity.

Nikita was puzzled to see Alex talking to her like this. "I've told you everything I know, Alex."

"Okay," Alex just left she knew Nikita wasn't going to tell her at that point. She needed to figure out later. Vlad was her main target right now. Every moment he's free is another moment her life could come crashing down. Before getting the weapons she headed to Birkoff desk, where Michael and him were discussing Amanda. "Hey Michael, Nikita wants to see you," a grin appeared on Michaels face as he was happy every time Nikita needed him.

As he left Alex went up to Birkoff, "I think Sonya was looking for you earlier," Alex tried to get rid of him as well.

"She knows I'm here," he kept his eyes glued to the screen.

Alex rolled her eyes, "I mean I think she was really looking for you."

Birkoff suddenly understood. He got up a little nervous and left the computer hurrying to find her.

Once the ghost was clear Alex quickly got to work. She ran a facial scan for Vlad across America, ran his name for any purchases, and looked for any slave routes with a chance of him being there. She knew he would never get out of the business.

She began to think of every time he had said this was the life. She had just been a slave for two years and was lonelier than ever. That was when she met him, he was her only friend. She knew she could trust him because he had been a slave too. Vlad treated his female slaves horribly, but he treated his male slave's worse. The only reason he had guy slaves was because he made money. If he didn't make money off one of them he would take out a gun and end them right there on the spot.

Vlad kicked her as she talked back to him. He was about to kick her again as out of know where her friend came and punched Vlad. Vlad wiped the blood off of his mouth as he began to get himself back together. "So you want to take her punishment?" he took out a bat, that's fine by me."

Alex looked away as she heard every swing that contacted her only friend. Every about twenty minutes of hearing the torture, she heard the bat drop. "Clean yourself up," Vlad walked out, "You're useless if you don't make money."

Alex crawled to her only friend, as he was covered in bruises. "Why did you do that," she placed his head on her lap, trying to get him comfortable.

"I'll always protect you," he grinned before a shot of pain hit him and he tensed up.

He began to fall asleep as Alex brushed her fingers through his hair.

"I'll always protect you to," she slowly kissed his lips and stayed there as he slept.

Alex came back from her flashback as a picture popped up from the computer. A street camera got a hit on Vlad's face. She rushed out of the room and to the armory grabbing all the weapons she could and sprinted to her car.

"Sonya didn't need me," Birkoff said thinking Alex was still in the room.

Birkoff wasn't surprised that she just left being all mysteries. Nikita and Alex did it a lot.

He focused on the monitor. Alex had left the video up when she rushed out. Birkoff zoomed in on the sidewalk when he noticed why she had the video. "Who's the guy following Sean?"
