Infinity and Beyond
-Chapter 4-
Rough Trade
It's been a few days since I had last seen Jill, but she must have had magic powers because I find myself a little less scared of Nikita now.
I can now let her hold my hand and I'm a little less nervous during baths now. Nikita walks to the window and looks outside. It's raining.
"It's raining, it's pouring…" I find myself singing quietly.
Nikita looks at me with a small smile on her face. "You like singing?"
"Only when I feel like it." I say quietly as I look down at my feet. It's also a little easier to talk to her now. She walks to her computer when it beeps.
Alex: Sorry I'm late. They keep changing the schedule in here.
Nikita: They do that. I'll be quick. I need you on central duty for the next three days. I'm about to raise a little hell out there and I need you to tell me when Division responds.
But I still feel very scared when she says things like that…
Alex: Got it. What are you going to do?
Nikita: Something I should've done a long time ago. Be ready.

Nikita takes me to a park. She bents down to pick up a ball that rolls in our direction. She hands it back to a girl.
'Sophie, Victor Han's daughter. Victor Han worked at an organization called Homeland Security. He's a double agent for the Red Circle Triad, an organization that deals with slave labor for some of the big clothing companies.'
"Sorry." Sophie says.
"No worries." Nikita says. "You're pretty good with that." Then, she mutters quietly. "You look just like your dad."
Sophie turns around and tilts her head. "You knew my dad?"
Before Nikita can answer. A woman calls out to Sophie. "Sophie. Soph." 'Lisa, she was Victor's wife.' She walks over to Nikita as I go to the slide to play.
A few minutes later, Lisa rushes over to me with Nikita following behind her. "Lisa, wait." Nikita's trying to stop her from doing something.
Lisa bents down to me. "What's your name, pumpkin?"
"Infinity Grace." I smile at her. I feel my hold on Lily to be a little looser. This woman looks nice.
"Why are you with Nikita, Infinity?" She asks worriedly.
"I don't really know." I frown and bite my lip. "But she's my mother, and I think if I'm not, something bad will happen."
"Listen to me, sweetie." Lisa says. "You're not safe with Nikita, so I'm going to call someone who's going to come over and help you, okay?"
I tilt my head and look from Lisa to Nikita and then back to Lisa again. "Please, Lisa." Nikita says. "I'm her mother."
"You're not fit to be a mother." Lisa glares at Nikita as her hand is looking for something in her purse.
Nikita stops Lisa's hand with her's. "Lisa, please." Nikita says quietly. "Infinity's not an ordinary kid, okay? If you call child services, I can't help her."
"I'm not going to let you hurt a little girl." Lisa growls at her. "I'm not going to believe your lies."
"Lisa, I know I'm not a good mother." Nikita says. "But I just want her to be safe and happy."
Nikita pauses for a few seconds to take a deep breath. "And if child services can do that for her, I would've called them already." She tells Lisa. "But the people I used to work for are looking for her, Lisa. She's paying for my mistakes."
Lisa looks as if she's not sure about something and she looks a little softer than before. "I can't let them touch her, Lisa." Nikita sounds like she might cry. "So, please just let me fix things."
"What do you want me to do?" Lisa's voice comes out as a loud whisper.
"You're going to take that car." Nikita's eyes move toward a dark blue car as it beeps. "You and Sophie are gonna drive it up state to a lake house. You're gonna stay there till you get my call." Nikita puts the car keys in Lisa's hands before she takes my hand and leads me out of the park.
I take a quick look at her, she looks sad. I don't like it when she's sad. I turn around to see Lisa and Sophie walking toward the car Nikita gave them.
I'm nervous, but I want to cheer her up. I pull on Nikita's arm. "Look! They're listening to you!" I smile up at her.
Nikita looks like she's making herself smile. "Would you like some ice cream?"
"Yes, please." I nod.
88888
Nikita takes me to a place where there are lots and lots of grown-up clothes. "… Make sure they get that price." I hear a woman say loudly as she walks over to us.
"Ms. Wiles, Roxanne Barnes, I'm the buyer from mid-land." Nikita gives her a small white card. Nikita's doing that thing where she's pretending to be someone else, again.
"Is that your child?" Ms. Wiles looks at me curiously.
"Yes." Nikita smiles. "Sorry, the babysitter said that something came up, so…"
"I thought you were coming next week." She frowns.
"I know." Nikita says. "Our schedule got shifted. I hope it's okay, and I just wanted to get it out of the way. Personally, I'm a huge fan."
"Ah, so you're here to put all of my clothes beside lawn-mowers and shop-cons all across America." Ms. Wiles smiles.
"The world, actually." Nikita tells her. "We've 3600 stores." I know 3600 is a lot. I can't count that high.
"Beautiful." Nikita continues as she looks at the clothes on the racks. "Quality is amazing, considering where it's made."
"Excuse me?" Ms. Wiles frowns.
"Oh, Ms. Wiles, mid-land has no problem keeping cost down." Nikita says. "Your secret is safe with us."
"I'm sorry, I'm not following you." Ms. Wiles shakes her head.
"Oh, I got samples." Nikita says as she opens the clipboard in her hands. "Maybe this will help. Here we are."
I can't see what Nikita's showing Ms. Wiles, but she doesn't look happy. "What is this?" Ms. Wiles asks.
"It's just 63 people who are gonna be your employees." Nikita tells her. "Court authority found them last week, suffocated, tragic accident of human smuggling. Your clothes are all made in sweat-shops. The Red Circle Triad? They provide your slave labor, don't they?"
"Who are you?" Ms. Wiles sounds angry.
I gasp scaredly as Nikita gets mad and twists her arm around. "Somebody who would never buy your crap!" I hug Lily tightly.
"Tell me where the sweat-shop is!" Nikita brings her into an empty room. I find myself following Nikita. It's weird, she's scary, but I feel even more scared to leave her side.
"You have your lawyers running interference on this, so I know you know where it is. Tell me!" Nikita angrily pushes Ms. Wiles to a table. I'm very scared, so I start crying.
"Get out of my –" Ms. Wiles starts to yell, but Nikita wraps her hand around Ms. Wiles' neck.
"You scream and I'll snap your neck." Nikita growls scarily. "It's not so glamorous, is it? Being powerless. Now, be a good slave, and give me the address." I feel my body start to shake.
When she finally gets what she wants from Ms. Wiles and leaves the building with me, I can't stop crying anymore.
Nikita sits in the backseat of the car with me. "Shh." She says gently. "I know… I know that was scary."
I want to stop crying. I'm scared that if I don't, she might get angry and hit me. But I only find myself crying harder as my body can't stop shaking.
Nikita wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug. It's weird, she's scary, but she also feels very warm. I feel… very comfy in her arms. She moves her hand up and down my back. It takes a while, but I finally quiet down, and she never hit me.
88888
We're sitting in the car, outside a building that's made of yellow bricks. There's a man outside, talking on his cell phone.
Nikita grabs her small lap top and starts typing.
Vision
"What is it that you do, Mr. Han?" Nikita was holding a baby and talking to a man. 'Victor Han'.
"I work for a new agency called Homeland Security." Victor answered. "It's just created new capital post for it."
"You work for the government?" Nikita asked.
"Yes." Victor said.. "And I've got a few enemies already."
88888
"Stop asking him questions." Michael told Nikita through an earpiece. He was in a car. "You're supposed to be gaining their confidence, not blowing it."
88888
"If you feel uncomfortable, Nikita…" Victor started.
"No, I just… I didn't know this is what I signed up for." Nikita said.
88888
"Complete the mission." Michael told her.
88888
"Okay, then." Victor muttered quietly. He looked at Nikita as if he wasn't sure about something.
"It's fine." Nikita said.
End Vision
Nikita throws the laptop aside angrily and takes off her sunglasses. She turns to me. "Stay close to me, okay?" She tells me. "This place is going to be scary."
I gulp and look at her scaredly. "You might see me do something scary again." She says quietly. "So, once we get inside, you need to hide and keep your eyes closed, okay?"
"Okay." I gulp and nod.
She gets out of the car and opens the backseat door. She lifts me out of the car. I'm very nervous when she does that. She's holding my hand as she walks toward the man who's still talking on his cell phone.
I gasp scaredly as she chokes him with a black stick and kicks open a white door. I crouch down behind a wall and close my eyes. Something really bad is about to happen.
She starts shouting in a language I don't understand. 'Cantonese.'
'This factory is closed.' Computer mama is telling me what Nikita's shouting. 'Whatever debt you owe to the Red Circle has been cleared. You are free.'
I hear a lot of screams. Nikita must be hurting someone. I'm too scared to open my eyes. 'Go! Get out!' She shouts again.
I hear the sounds of a fight and things getting knocked down. I'm very scared of what Nikita might be doing, but I don't want her to get hurt either.
I open my eyes just a peek. I see Nikita fighting some men. I quickly close my eyes again when I hear gunshots. "I was hoping not to use that." Nikita says.
I hear footsteps, and then Nikita's voice again. 'Tell your boss I'm coming for him. After I burn this place down.' I feel myself getting more scared.
When I next open my eyes, I see Nikita pouring something all over the place. 'Gasoline: it's to cause a fire.'
When she's done, she walks over to me. I feel myself getting more nervous. I might start crying again.
"It'll be okay." She takes my hand softly. "You're safe with me. I promise." I frown, because I always feel scared and nervous around her.
She takes out her handgun. I find myself squeezing her hand. I'm scared. Nikita let's go of my hand. "Cover your ears." She tells me as she pulls me close to her, almost like a hug.
I do as she says as she fires a shot, causing a big fire. I find myself staring at the bright orange colors. It's scary, but I can't look away.
I feel as if my body can't move. I'm scared, I want to get away from here, but I can't. I feel myself getting picked up. I feel as if I might start crying again, so I take a deep breath to stop the tears from coming out.
If I cry again, it might make Nikita mad, and something very bad might happen. I'm glad when she puts me down in the car seat. I don't like it when she's too close to me.
88888
Nikita walks away from her computer to put on a jacket. We're back from Hong Kong and back home.
Vision
Nikita was pushing a baby cart, the baby was inside. "That's good, keep walking." Michael spoke to her through an ear piece before the door to a white van opened and a man pulled out a gun and fired at the man that was walking with Nikita.
I wanted to scream and close my almond-shaped dark brown eyes, but this is something computer mama is showing me. I can't not see it.
I try to take my eyes off of the man that was now on the floor, not moving. 'He's dead. He's not going to wake up.'
Something inside my stomach is doing many cartwheels, and I feel like I need to go to the doctor's.
Nikita stopped and picked the baby up in her arms as a few men walked to the dead man. "Give me that baby." Michael walked to Nikita.
"What do you want with the baby?" Nikita sounded … scared?
"Give me the baby now." Michael told her.
Roan walked toward Nikita. "I'm not giving her to you." Nikita shook her head at Michael before looking at Roan. "Or to him."
"We're not gonna hurt her, Nikita." Michael said.
"This is Roan." Roan said through an ear piece. "Stand by for abort and cleaning."
Michael walked over to Roan. "Do not get ahead of yourself, do you hear me?"
"Control your asset." Roan said scarily. "Or I will."
"Sophie will be returned to her mother." Michael turned to Nikita. "We've orders to not hurt them."
"So Victor Han's the target?" Nikita breathed out. "Why does he have to die?" 'Victor Han isn't dead.'
"Look, if you don't do this, Division will have to call a clean." Michael walked with her. "That means they clean everything and everyone, including you and the child, and there's not a damn thing I can do about it, you got that?" He sounded angry.
The baby was starting to cry, and Nikita looked like she might too. "You don't have a choice." Michael told her. "Give me the child." Nikita sadly handed him the baby.
End Vision
I don't feel well, I think I'm sick, but I'm scared to tell Nikita. I'm in the car with her again. She's parked by the side of the street, and she doesn't look happy.
I don't know what to think of what computer mama's just showed me. I know I don't like it, and that it doesn't make me feel good, it makes me feel very scared. I hug Lily.
Nikita looks across the street with a tube-like thing that has a piece of glass at the end of it. I don't know what it's called.
I see Michael across the street. I feel my oval-shaped face smiling a little. I wish I can go and talk to him, but that might make Nikita angry.
Nikita grabs her laptop and starts typing again. "Alex, where are you?" I hear Nikita whisper after a few seconds. Nikita puts down the laptop and drives away.
88888
Nikita takes me to a very loud place where there's lots of pretty women dressed in shiny dresses. Nikita and I are with a group of people who are holding cameras. I hold Lily tighter; I'm scared of getting lost.
I don't move at all as Nikita picks me up when the crowd starts pushing forward more. Nikita takes me and leaves the crowd.
She takes me to the washroom. "Do you have to pee?"
"Yes." I nod quietly before she puts me down so I can go to the toilet.
After I'm done, she changes me into a pretty purple dress and she puts matching hair clips in my hair. I try to move as little as I can while she's doing this. I don't want her to get mad and get scary.
After that, she takes me to a very big room with very loud music. She takes off her jacket while in a crowd.
88888
Nikita leads me to a quieter place. "Smile." She says to a man wearing a black suit as she takes a picture with the camera in her hand before knocking him out.
Nikita takes a key card from his jacket pocket and slides it through a crack in a small black box-like thing that's on the wall. The glass door beside it opens up.
Nikita holds my hand as we walk in. I don't feel nervous or scared when she does that. She knocks another man who's sitting by a computer out.
Nikita sees Victor Han on the screen. "Victor."
"Nikita." He says back. "I should've known."
Nikita looks like she can't believe what she's seeing. "Nikita." Victor continues. "When they told me that some crazy bitch with a kid burned down my factory, I wasn't sure."
"All these years…" Nikita mutters. "I thought I killed you. You were Triad."
"You know what they say…" He says before saying something in Cantonese. 'Membership has its privileges.'
"No." Nikita shakes her head. "You couldn't have pulled this off on your own, and Homeland wouldn't have stood for it."
Nikita nods her head after a few seconds, like she's understanding something. "You made a deal with Percy. That's why we faked your death."
"He's gonna get an earful from me after today." Victor nods his head too. "And thanks to your kid, I'm gonna have something to bargain with." I feel goosebumps pop out of my olive skin. I don't want this man to touch me.
"You're not touching her." Nikita growls before looking at him sadly. "How could you? You'd a wife and a daughter!"
"The insurance took care of them, Nikita." Victor says. I wrinkle my straight nose, I don't like this man.
"Everyone came out a winner." Victor continues. "Except you. In a matter of seconds, you're gonna be surrounded. Oh, and Percy's gonna be very happy to hear about that prized child of yours."
I hug Lily and I weirdly find myself walking closer to Nikita. Right now, she makes me feel… safe. She starts typing quickly on the computer. "What do you think you're doing?" Victor asks.
"I hate chatting online." Nikita snarls quietly. "Let's do this face to face." Then, she scarily fires her handgun at the computer. I gasp loudly and shrink back.
I hear quiet footsteps. 'Michael's coming.' I almost smile. Nikita grabs my hand and leads me away quickly.
We come face to face with Michael after a few seconds. "Hi, Michael." I grin happily at him and wave.
"Hey, kid." Michael almost smiles before he looks at Nikita. They've their guns pointing at each other. They're separated by a closed glass door.
"It's bullet proof." Nikita tells him 'It means that the bullets won't go through the glass.' I know that means that neither of them will be able to fire at the other person. I'm glad; I don't want either of them to get hurt, even if Nikita's scary.
"Triads, now? Is that it?" Michael says.
"It's just gonna be their man in New York." Nikita says as she lowers her gun before getting more angry. "Then I find out that Victor Han is their boss."
"What?" Michael frowns.
"You don't know…" Nikita says in a surprised tone. "Victor Han is alive, Michael."
Then, she continues in a tone that sounds like she now understands something. "Of course you don't know, you never asked. You probably don't even know why he was a target."
"He had to be dirty." Michael says as he slowly lowers his gun.
"Well, he was." Nikita tells him. "He was a double agent for the triads."
Nikita continues on more angrily. "Got a big fat promotion thanks to Percy's switch."
There are sounds coming from behind Michael. "So long." Nikita says as she picks me up and runs away.
Nikita runs to another door and puts me down. She takes what looks like a giant bottle and throws it against the glass. The glass breaks into lots and lots of small pieces.
She scarily picks me back up again and leads me out of the building.
88888
Dream
I'm running away from something, but there's fire around me. I'm scared. I turn a corner to see people on the floor, they're all bleeding, but they're not moving.
I don't know these people, but I find myself screaming. I stop when I see a shadow coming toward me. I start running again. I don't know who it is, but I don't want them to catch me.
Then, I see her. It's Nikita, but she doesn't look like the Nikita I've come to know. This Nikita is scarier, and she feels icy cold. Now, I want to cry.
End Dream
"Infinity! Infinity!" Nikita shakes me awake. "Wake up! You're having a bad dream."
I open my eyes. They feel wet, I'm crying. I push myself up from my bed. I sniffle before Nikita reaches out a hand and wipes away the tears on my face. I don't move at all while she's doing this.
"Are you okay?" She asks worriedly as I wrap my arms around Lily.
I nod my head silently. I'm too scared to tell her about the dream I just had. "Are you scared?" Nikita asks again softly.
I don't answer, but I squeeze myself closer together. Nikita slowly moves toward me. I'm too scared to move as she slowly wraps her arms around me and pulls me into a hug.
My heart feels as if it's beating faster. It takes a while, but I feel my body starting to relax as I'm getting sleepier.
Slowly, my eyes are getting heavier and heavier until I can't open them anymore. For the first time, I fall asleep in her arms.
88888
"We're not gonna be back here for a few days, so pick a few toys you want to bring." Nikita says as she's packing clothes, weapons, and bathroom things.
I run upstairs to grab Lily and Johnny, who is my rubber whale. I play with him every time when I'm taking a bath.
I go back downstairs and give Johnny to Nikita. I keep an arm around Lily. "Where are we going?" I ask. I want to know if she's taking me to some place scary.
"Hong Kong." Nikita says. "China."
"Where's that?" I tilt my head. I forget about being scared for a second.
"Somewhere far away." Nikita says as she grabs my hand with her free hand. "Let's go."
88888
Two men is leading Nikita and I into a room with very big glass windows. Nikita is holding my hand while my other arm is wrapped around Lily.
"Madam, you should've reported this before returning to Hong Kong." One of the man says to Nikita as she's putting on lipstick.
"Hmm, yes, I was… I was going to. I'm sorry." Nikita says as she sits down. "Is this the part where you tie me up?" She says that part way too happily as I sit down in another chair.
"Listen, I'll pay the fine. It's fine, it's totally fine." Nikita says. "I just… I don't want to go back to that line out there, because… it's a little long… and isn't there a side door or something I could go through…"
"Certainly." The other man says.
"Well, there you go." Nikita smiles before looking out the window. She quickly stops smiling as she stands up.
"Something wrong?"
"No, I just…" Nikita starts. "Didn't know we had company." She finishes as two other men comes in through the door. 'Victor Han's men.'
I feel myself getting scared as I gulp. I hug Lily tightly as I stand up from my seat. One of the man that took us into this room give Nikita some kind of needle as she looks like she has fallen asleep.
I'm scared, but not of Nikita. This time, I find myself a little scared for her. "What are you going to do?" I whimper before one of the other men grabs me and gives me a needle shot too.
I feel as if my body can't move as my eyes close on their own. I know something bad is going to happen.
88888
My head is lying on someone's lap. "Infinity, honey?" I hear Nikita's voice as I slowly open my eyes. "Are you alright?"
I sit myself up quickly when I see that I'm in a car with men that I don't know. Nikita's holding my hand. It's weird, I find myself almost relaxing a little knowing this. "We're gonna be okay." She tells me quietly.
The car stops outside a factory before the men pulls Nikita and I out of the car. Two of the men walks Nikita to the front of the car while the other man pulls me to the side with him.
Victor Han walks up to her with two other men behind him. "You flew all the way out here for me." He says. "That is just simply stupid."
"I just had to see you again." Nikita says in a tone that computer mama would call "mocking".
"I spoke with Percy." He smiles, but he doesn't look happy. "It's funny. He didn't want to get into it."
"Percy's not really a talker." Nikita shakes her head.
"It's okay. I worked it out." Victor says. "So, you went and grew a conscience, Nikita. Now, you're a thorn on Percy's side because you think you can what? Make a difference in the world?"
'Conscience: an inner feeling or voice that tells you what's right and what's wrong.'
"You, in prison, being man-raped, that had be different." Nikita tilts her head.
"You're gonna tell me who knows about this." Victor says, he's getting scarier. "Did you tell Lisa and Sophie?"
"You remember their names." She nods mockingly.
"Don't get sanctimonious." He tells her loudly. "You know all about living a lie, Nikita. Victor Han was a name I created to infiltrate Homeland. As for the wife and kid, they were just my cover."
"There were your family." She sounds like she's about to get angry.
"I've a family." He sounds like he's getting angrier too. I bite my bottom lip nervously as I just stand there as still as I can.
"Here." Victor continues. "A wife, and two children, and I wanna keep it that way."
"I'm not really a talker, either." Nikita says.
Victor laughs lightly, but he sounds scary. "You know what's strange? When I talked to Percy about that kid with you, he was especially interested in her. In fact, he wants me to take her to him."
Victor takes a quick look at me before looking back to Nikita. "But I don't think you'll like that, will you? You know, I have a feeling that this kid's special, but she's especially special to you, isn't she? So, who is she?"
Nikita looks like she's going to get scary soon as she narrows her eyes at him. "Well then, I'll just have to ask the kid herself." Victor smirks as he walks toward me.
"Don't touch her." Nikita growls at him, making him smirk wider.
"So, kid, why are you with Nikita, huh?" He crouches down in front of me. "How do you know Percy?"
I'm scared; I don't want to tell him anything. I stare at me feet and don't say anything. "Don't want to talk?" He shrugs. "That's okay. It's not important."
He turns back to Nikita. "My boys here have got a few power tools to help you bring out your shell."
"You think you're gonna break me?" Nikita smirks.
"Nobody likes a crusader, Nikita." He tells her. "I tried it for a few months, I got blown up."
"I can't believe I ever thought that you were cute." Nikita says.
Victor smiles, but he doesn't look nice. "I can't believe I never had my way with you." He walks closer to her.
"You couldn't handle me, not then, not now." She tells him. I feel what computer mama would call a "shiver" run up my back. I don't know what's happening, but I feel as if I'm not going to like it.
I gasp as Victor quickly grabs her. The man's hand on my shoulder is now tighter. "Don't move." He whispers in my ear scarily. "Or something bad might happen."
"One thing about the slave business is I can handle whatever I want." Victor mutters to her.
"Honestly, I think we would clash." Nikita says before he has his lips on her's. I quickly feel goosebumps pop up my olive skin.
Something in my stomach feels like it's crawling upwards. Ew... yucky! I close my eyes; I don't want to see this.
"Sort of like… lipstick, and peanut oil." I open my eyes again when I hear Nikita's voice.
Victor shouts something in Cantonese to his men. 'Medicine!' The man who has been grabbing at me finally lets go and walks over to the other men. They all just stand there, looking at each other.
Nikita takes this chance to knock the men out. I squeeze my eyes shut and cover my ears when gunshots start sounding.
I open my eyes when I feel Nikita picking me up. Then, she runs over to a gasping Victor. "Please… please…" He says.
"Shut up before I change my mind." Nikita tells him as she sticks the large needle into him. Then, she puts me down on the ground. "Go into the car." She says to me before she grabs Victor and walks him to the car.
I do what computer mama would call "yelp" as there are a few more gunshots. Nikita drops Victor on the ground as she quickly pulls me into her arms to get me to duck in time.
Nikita looks up at a building when the gunshots stop. I look there too to see that Michael's there with a big machine gun. 'He was firing at one of Victor's men.'
I smile at him when he puts down his gun. Nikita lifts me up into the backseat of the car before helping Victor into the passenger seat and finally getting into the driver's seat herself.
88888
I'm sitting on a park bench with Lisa and Nikita as Lisa's braiding my hair. "When they returned her to me, the people you used to work for, they threatened me." Lisa says to Nikita. "They told me not to talk. Who knew her own father was behind it?"
"He'll pay for what he did." Nikita tells her.
"I decided I'm not gonna tell her." Lisa shakes her head. "As far as I'm concerned, Victor died that day."
They are silent for a few seconds before Lisa starts speaking again. "You said you didn't want forgiveness, but you deserve it, Nikita. At least from me. Thank you."
Nikita smiles sadly as Lisa continues. "The people who made you do this, can you ever stop them?"
"It's gonna take some time." Nikita says as Lisa finishes braiding my hair.
"There you go." Lisa smiles at me as she hands me a small mirror from her purse. "Nice and pretty."
"Thank you." I turn toward her with a smile.
She hugs me before she speaks again. "You have a good mother, Infinity." She tells me. "You've a mother who loves you very much, so remember not to push her away, okay?" Nikita looks surprised as she looks from Lisa to me and back to Lisa again.
I tilt my head. I don't think I've ever pushed her before, I'm too scared to. "I know you may not fully understand what I'm telling you right now, but your mother's a special woman, Infinity." She continues. "But she's going to need you, Infinity. She's going to need you to be her little girl, okay?"
"But I'm little to a lot of people." I frown.
Lisa and Nikita both laugh. I don't know why it's funny. "Yes, you are." Lisa nods.
88888
Nikita's on the computer again.
Alex: Sorry I missed you earlier, got caught up.
Typing sounds.
Alex: All good. How'd it go on your end?
Typing sounds.
Nikita stands up and walks over to me just as I'm finishing my strawberry yogurt. I feel myself getting nervous again, bath time with Nikita is scary.
"Time to get you cleaned up." She crouches down in front of me with a smile as she reaches a hand forward for me to hold.
My stomach feels as if there are spikes inside it, but I take her hand. It's weird, I'm scared of her, but I almost don't want to be...

Author's note: alright guys, here's another chapter. Please review!
