Before we begin SPECIAL thanks to Wootar16. She inspired so much in this chapter and has reviewed practically every chapter. Please check out her stories. They are really good!

Also now that my vacation has officially started, (I know my school got out late lol), I'm definitely going to be updating more often. So huge sry for the last time I will be updating after such a long time. Love you all so much :)

Beep… Beep… Beep... The heart monitor sang out as Sean slept. He had been asleep since they got back. The doctors didn't know when he would wake up. The concussion was brutal.

Alex sat in a chair next to him. She wiped her forehead. Fatigue was setting in, but she couldn't stop. She needed to save Elizabeth, but before she could do anything she had to see him. She wanted and needed nothing more than to talk to him after all the time they've been apart.

She looked down at her hands. "I know you probably can't hear me," she looked at him. His head wrapped in a bandage made her feel a tear building up.

She looked up trying to hold her emotions back. "But I couldn't leave without seeing you. I wish I could hear your voice… You would know what to do," she intertwined her fingers with his, "I promise I'll protect you. I won't let what my father did hurt you… I can't stay long, but I'll be back."

She brushed his hair back. He looked so relaxed. A part of her was jealous. She hadn't gotten sleep in almost a week now.

"I have to go now, but I love you," She smiled. For a split second she could feel Sean's hand tighten around hers. She didn't know if it was because of what she said or not. But she knew that she would love him forever.

Elizabeth

Amanda strapped her down in one of her torture chairs. "I want my mommy!" Elizabeth screamed out. She missed the safe feeling of being in her mother's arms. She hadn't seen her mother for a few days and Alex wouldn't tell her where she was. Elizabeth hoped that if she cried out scared then her mommy would come just like when there was a thunder storm.

Amanda just glanced at her with a sign of disgust. She hated any sight of weakness.

"Alex!" she cried out. Tears were all over her face. Elizabeth was scared to death of what Amanda was going to do to her. She was horrified of Alex, but Amanda scared her even more.

"Alex?" Amanda had an amused look on her face, "But she's the reason why you're in this mess."

"You're lying!" Elizabeth began to cry, "She would never do that to me. She promised she wouldn't hurt me."

"Oooo but she did," Amanda finished typing on the computer attached to the chair, and looked at her, "We'll at least not directly. But she should have realized her daughter wouldn't have a normal life."

Elizabeth just had a blank look on her face. Alex is my mommy. I was living with strangers. Why would she not keep me? Does she not love me? Is that why my mommy, or the person I used to think was my mommy didn't even come back for me... No, she's lying. My real mommy has to be looking for me. Alex is just a friend.

"You're lying!" She cried.

"I'm not," Amanda started up the machine, "Not that it will matter in a couple minutes."

Elizabeth pushed back on the chair trying hard to escape she was hyper ventilating from crying. Amanda just stood there smiling.

Alex

Alex rushed into ops. Temper flaring as she thought of what Ryan did, but she tried hard to conceal it. She headed straight for Birkoff at his computer. He was talking to an agent when she went up to him.

"I need you to look up anything to do with a company called shop," she spun his chair around, stopping his conversation.

"What happened I heard gun shots earlier?…" he froze as what she said finally hit him, "Did you just say shop?"

"Yeah, and I don't have time to chat. Do it now," she tried to refocus him on the task at hand.

The word shop sent fear into Birkoff. A picture appeared on the screen. It looked like a normal building, but once enhanced it showed multiple automatic security weapons.

"You're not going in there are you?" he looked up at her, "That's a suicide mission."

Alex just kept a serious look on her face. She was memorizing the perimeter. She didn't about care the danger she would die for her daughter.

"How long before you can arrange a plane to take me there?" Alex asked.

Birkoff shut down the screen, "I'm not letting you go there. If you knew what they were capable of nothing would be important enough for you to want to go in there."

"Birkoff I'm not messing around let me see the blueprints," Alex tried to keep her building rage inside.

"Does Sean or Nikita know you're going to do this?" he was persistent on saying no.

"Put the F#$ &*! Screen back on!" she slammed her fist on his desk.

Birkoff was shocked, "Whatever is in there must really be important." He turned the screen back on, "Plane will leave in forty-five minutes."

She placed her hand on his shoulder, "Thanks."

Alex sprinted out after a few more seconds of mentally saving the image of the building. She rushed and grabbed all the supply's she needed from the armory. Nothing could prepare her for what she was going to go through.

She had a few spare minutes before she was going to leave and decided to spend it with Sean. She didn't want to leave. Especially since what happened last time she left him.

She stood their next to him. She brushed her hand across his face. His soft skin made her feel safe and revived. She wasn't going to leave him like last time. Alex placed a letter on the stand next to him.

She gave one last look at Sean. They haven't spoken in a while but she could still feel him with her. "Alex planes waiting on you," Birkoff spoke on the speakers.

"On my way," Alex spoke knowing Birkoff would watch the cameras.

She looked down at Sean one last time and kissed his forehead.

Elizabeth

Amanda pulled the needle out from inside Elizabeth and shot off the machine. She had finished toying around with the young girl's brain. "How are you feeling?" Amanda smiled at her.

"I feel fine mommy," she smiled back.

SAY WHAT?! Amanda made it so that Elizabeth thinks of her as a mom. What's Alex going to do when she finds out Amanda has her daughter? What's going to happen to Sean? Will Elizabeth ever know who her mom is again? and when she does will she be able to accept it?
