Alex slowly opened her eyes as she heard a voice of a little girl in the distance. "Mommy, can I stay with her in the room?"
"As long as you don't touch anything."
Her vision was blurry as she could only see the ceiling. Her body felt numb as she tried to move her fingers. As her vision cleared she saw she was in a house. The room was a bed room turned into a medical room. She turned her head slightly and noticed she was hooked up to a heart monitor. The thing that shocked her the most was that it was snowing outside the window. It was supposed to be mid fall.
Suddenly she barely felt something in her hand on the other side of her. She turned to notice Elizabeth holding her hand. "Good morning," she smiled at Alex.
Alex just smiled back and gently closed her hand around the girls. "Morning," she managed to whisper.
The mom walked in with a surprise look on her face, "Your awake!"
"Yeah," she could barely hear Alex say.
"You need to rest you've been out for a long time. My name is Jackie" she placed a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on the dresser for Elizabeth.
Alex's eyes went wide as she heard her say she's been out for a while. "How long?"
The women checked the heart monitor, "A little over a month."
"A month," Alex quickly sat up in shock, "I need to get going."
Alex got out of bed and grabbed her jacket which was sitting on a chair. She needed to get back to Division who knew what had happened in a whole month. They had no idea where she was. She stopped. She knew going back meant facing her punishment and dealing with an angry Sean.
Before she knew it she was becoming light headed and her whole body hurt. She fell to the ground. She couldn't believe how weak she had become. She wondered what really happened that day.
The Jackie ran into the room at the sound of the thud. He carried her back into the bed. "You need to stay in bed. You have four broken ribs, a broken leg, and a broken collar bone. There is no way your leaving anytime soon."
Alex nodded agreeing that there was no way she could make it home, even though she was in no rush to face everyone's rage against her. "Why are you doing all this?" she asked.
"You saved our little girl," he brought her a sandwich; "This is so small compared to what you did. It's the least we could do. You can call me Jackie by the way."
Alex smiled. She would have jumped in front of that car to save Elizabeth no matter what. She closed her eyes and slept a peaceful sleep, knowing that she had found Elizabeth and she was safe.
Eight days had passed before she was able to move and get out of bed. She couldn't move far but Elizabeth kept her company. They would play together, draw with crayons, and make silly faces at each other. "Look what I drew," the young girl said.
Alex turned as was shocked at what she saw. "It's you and me playing," Elizabeth told her, "I drew it for you."
Alex took it from her and took a closer look. A tear poured down her cheek and she quickly wiped it away afraid it might damage the drawing. "It's beautiful. I keep it forever."
As her daughter kept drawing, her eyes stayed on the picture. What was she going to do? They had become so close. She couldn't imagine her life without her baby girl now. But the life she lived was not a life meant for a child. Would she really risk her safety just to be with her? That question played over and over in her head.
After a day of thinking she made up her mind. She was finally able to move almost normally. Alex packed her things and walked over to Elizabeth. The child's face was crying as she hugged her teddy bear. "Where're you going?" she tried to hide her tears in her bear.
Alex walked over trying to fight the tears, "It's time I go home."
"This is your home," she grabbed her sleeve.
Alex went to her knees and was eye level with the girl, "I'm afraid it's not anymore."
Elizabeth hugged Alex. "Will I ever see you again?"
It took Alex a minute to figure out the answer to that question. She hugged her little girl tighter, "I'm afraid not."
After she hugged her only daughter for the last time, she left. She waved goodbye to the caring family and walked out the door. Once she knew she was far away from the door that they wouldn't see her she cried. Tears were streaming down her face nonstop. She let out all the emotions she was holding back. Her heart was breaking at the fact of never seeing her again.
As she was walking her motorcycle off out from the side of their house she saw a black van in the street. She wiped her eyes and took a closer look. There were men preparing their guns and about to move out.
She dropped the bike and ran back in the house, "What's going on," the Jackie was worried.
"Get Elizabeth and go to cover!" Alex rammed a dresser against the front door barricading it.
When she looked back she saw Elizabeth smile and walk towards her, "You're back," the girl said before being picked up by her father and rushed down stairs.
Alex turned off all the lights in the house and took a pistol out of her boot.
It seemed to quiet. There was no noise coming from outside or the basement. Alex slowly walked over to the window and gently moved the curtain. She moved it as slowly as possible so they wouldn't notice.
There was no one there. She looked at the front seat of the van and saw no either. She was confused. She knew she saw people before.
Then suddenly tear gas was thrown into the house from all directions. Windows were shattering as men were moving in. Alex could barely breathe. The gas was burning her lungs and her eyes. She could barely see anything. All she saw was the soldier's laser sights from their guns.
She hid behind a couch trying to wipe her eyes, but everything was covered in the painful gas. Out of nowhere she heard the basement door come crashing down as they started to move down. She clenched her gun and jumped from behind the couch as she heard gun shots being fired from down stairs.
Alex shot one in the eye and another in the heart. She made sure each bullet counted, but didn't hesitate to fire. No one was going to touch Elizabeth. She kept firing at every soldier as adrenalin pumped through her veins.
Once she reached the basement she sprinted down the stairs, "Elizabeth!" she cried out.
There was no answer. She jumped the last five steps of the stairs and turned the corner and saw nothing but blood. She stopped in her tracks at the sight of it. It was a blood bath. She ran over to Jackie. She was barely breathing. "I'm going to get you out of here and to some help!" she was about to pick her up.
"No! Take Elizabeth and get out of here," she coughed, "They are only after us,"
Alex was confused. Why were they after them? She had no time to think or ask about it. She needed to find Elizabeth. She looked around the destroyed basement and didn't see her. She was getting worried. She wouldn't be able to live if something happened to her. That's when she heard a whimper from the corner behind a dresser.
Alex got up and saw the young child behind the dresser scared out of her mind. "It's okay I'm here," she tried to calm Elizabeth down.
Elizabeth jumped into Alex's arms crying into her shoulder. "Keep your eyes closed," she told her, "Promise?"
Lizzie nodded. Alex didn't want the young girl to see what had happened to her parents.
Alex silently snuck out of the house and sprinted across the street holding her daughter in her arms. She broke into a car and hotwired it. The tires screeched as she floored the gas pedal. Lizzie kept her eyes closed the whole time keeping her promise.
Alex took out her phone and started to dial. "Alex! Where have you been! Birkoff wouldn't tell us anything," Nikita said through the cell.
"I'm on my way back," she looked at Elizabeth, "I have someone with me."
Dun Dun Dun. Lol I don't know why I did that. There wasn't much of a cliffhanger.
