One week later at Division...
" Birkoff! Please tell me that we have a link to Alex" Nikita said anxiously.
" I am sorry, Nikita. But no. We will not find her, unless she wants us to do so" Birkoff replied softly. He was used to Nikita's anxiety over missing Alex. He understood her. Alex had refused to talk to her and it had passed one week since Alex's disapperance.
" Relax Nikita. She is fine. She called me this morning. She is missing you." Sean said calmly
" Then why she doesn't talk to me?" Nikita asked angrily.
" Because she needs sometime, Nicky. She will come back, soon." Michael replied
" Guys, I am sorry to interrupt but someone is calling Division" Sonya informed the others, "I don't recognise the signal and I can't trace it" she added
" What?" Michael said
" Put it on the screen. Let's see who it is." Nikita ordered
" Hi, guys, nice to see you, again" a man's voice said
" Tom?" Sean asked and he saw the man on the screen nodding "What's wrong? Is Alex ok?" he asked nerviously
" Relax, Sean, she is fine. But we have a situation here and she wanted to inform you" Tom replied and smiled softly.
" What's wrong?" Nikita asked
" Well, we find one of your rogues agents, his undercover name is Harry Brown. And we don't know what to do with him. Do you want to take him in or we should take care of him as we wish?" Tom explained the situation.
" How did you find him? and how do you know who he is?" Nikita asked.
Tom was about to answer the question when the door behind him opened and Alex entered the room quickly.
" Tom, we run out of time. You can chat later. You have three minutes." Alex said
" What happened to your hand? Are you bleeding?" Tom asked worried
" As I said before, we run out of time. " Alex said and then she heard gunshots.
" Forget the answer. Take him with you and I will meet you at the extraction point " Alex shouted
" What are you going to do?" Tom asked as he stepped up to untie their prisoner.
" What do you think?" Alex replied and stared at him.
" No. No. No. Alex NOO!" Tom yelled at her.
" You can't hold them back by yourself" he added
" Do you have any other ideas?" Alex asked him
" GUYSSSSSSSS WHAT IS GOING ON?" Sean yelled.
" We will call you later" Tom said and turned off the call
" I will meet you outside" Alex said and ran towards the gunshot to help her team get out safely
" What the hell just happened?" Nikita yelled.
" I don't know, Nikita" Birkoff said and kept typing something at his computer.
" They will be fine.." Michael tried to persuade the others.
" I am gonna kill her, when she comes back" Nikita shouted angrily
After 3 hours...
" Guys, they are calling us again!" Birkoff screamed in relief
" Put them through" Sean ordered and he saw Michael and Nikita ran into the ops.
" Hi, again! Alex is fine, Sean, she is with Harry. She will come later." Tom said and laughed
" Don't make fun at me" Sean shouted.
" I don't. I am just happy. She loves you and I am glad to see that you love her, too" Tom explained calmly
" Of course and I love her" Sean admitted
" what happened back there?" Nikita asked anxious.
" Nothing that we can't handle. " Tom said " Now, I really want to chat with you guys but Alex is going to kick my ass if I don't give her soon enough an answer. How do we procceed with Harry?" Tom added
" Please tell me that you have an answer, Tom. I can't spend one more minute with this jerk" Alex said and entered the room.
" Good timing" Tom said and smiled.
" Really, Tom? You still don't have an answer?" Alex asked in surprise and smiled.
She walked towards to Tom and she hit him softly in the head.
" I told you that I want an answer. I am running out of patience with this guy." Alex said
" And I told you that the doctor is looking for you, but you haven't visited him yet" Tom replied
Alex made a grimace of disgust.
" I think that I am going to change" Alex said and walked to the bed and picked up a red tank.
" How is your arm?" Tom asked anxious
" What's wrong with her arm?" Sean yelled anxious.
Alex went near to Tom so that Sean can see her and smiled
" Hi Sean!" Alex said and she smiled to him
" What's wrong with your hand?" Sean asked again inpatiently.
Alex gave Tom an angry look and she said
"It's nothing, Sean. I will be fine" Alex reassured him.
" Alex. What's wrong with your hand?" Nikita asked her angrily.
" Nothing. End of discussion." Alex said coldly.
" Tom, finish this conversation, please. We need to move." Alex ordered and exitted the room
" What's wrong with her?" Nikita asked
" Hmm... She needs time, Nikita.. and she doesn't really like to speak about her arm" Tom tried to explain
" What is that supposed to mean?" Nikita asked him angrily " Why she doesn't speak to me?'' she added
" Don't put me in the middle, girls. I don't know why she doesn't speak to you, Nikita. She didn't tell me anything. She doesn't speak with anyone about your relationship, you are an out of limit topic. But something has really upset her." Tom said
" What happened to her arm?" Michael asked
" Amanda" Tom said simply
" What?" Sean asked in shock.
" When she saved Nikita from Amanda, Amanda reopened Alex's bullet wound and we have a little trouble in closing it again, she injected her with something and everytime that someone hit her in her arm, she starts bleeding again, we are close to find a cure but she doesn't rest at all. She wants to be sure that we are all ok. She speaks with everyone every day, she is patrolling our area, she enters the buildings first and she leaves last. I haven't managed to follow her schedule. I don't know how she manages all the things that she does. She doesn't sleep a lot and when she does eee..she has nightmares and she wakes up shaking. I don't know how she hasn't collapsed yet" Tom said
" She is a survivor" Nikita replied calmly.
" I need to go and make it sure that Alex is going to take her medicines, so I really need an answer" Tom continued
" We will take him" Michael replied
" Fine. We will activate his tracker when he is in position. You can guess who is going to patrol the area so don't try anything stupid. See you, soon" Tom said and turned off the video.
A few hours later Birkoff has finally caught the signal of Harry's tracker and the team was sent to Ukranie to pick him up...
" Nikita, the perimeter is clear...we can move in..." Michael said
" Ok, guys, let's do it" Nikita said and they all entered the building carefully with the guns in their hands and ready for battle. They followed the hallaway and they entered a room and then they saw a man tied up in a chair and quite beaten.
" Are you ok?" Nikita asked and approached him.
" Yes. Who are you?" Harry asked in return
" My name is Nikita, I am Division" Nikita replied softly and untied him
" That crazy russian bitch asked me to give you that letter, it's for you. I am pretty sure that she is going to kill me if I don't do as she said, so can you please make sure that she will know that I completed my task?" Harry said scared
" Hey, man, this crazy russian bitch is my girlfriend, so be careful" Sean said angrily
" Yes, sure" Nikita replied and took the letter from Harry's hands.
" What are you doing here? and how did they catch you?" Michael asked calmly still pointing a gun to Harry's head.
" I was on a kill mission" Harry said
" Who was the target?" Nikita asked
" They didn'tell me that I was going on a suicide mission. She kicked my ass in no time, and she kicked my men, too. I don't know how she did that. I have never seen something like that before" Harry said.
Suddenly, they heard a female voice
" I had a good trainer" Alex replied " Guys, they have the package. Let's move" she added and then before anyone can understand what have just happened, Alex exitted the room and disappeared again.
" Alex?" Sean asked in shock
" She was my target.." Harry said
" What? Who send you to kill Alex?" Nikita asked surprised
" The russia mafia..." Harry replied quickly
" Why?" Michael asked
" I don't ask question,man, I just do as I am told" Harry replied
At Nikita's and Michael's appartment 2 days later...
Nikita was having again one of her nightmares. She was seeing Alex dying on her arms. She was so worried about her. She couldn't handle being away from her for so long. It was excruciating. She suddenly woke up, breathing heavily. She stood there at her bed next to the man that she loved and read one more time Alex's letter.
Nikita,
I am really really sorry. I don't want to hurt you but I need some time. I will talk to you again soon. I promise.
I love you, Sensei.
What's wrong, Alex? What Amanda did to you? What did I do to you? Why you don't talk to me? I miss you so much..she thought.
Then, she felt a hand touching her shoulder.
" Nikita, what's wrong?" Michael asked
" I miss her" Nikita cried
" She will come back, Nikita. She will" Michael reassurred
" Why is she avoiding me?" Nikita whispered
" I don't know sunshine. I don't know. Come back to bed with me." Michael said and kissed her gently in the back.
" I think I will go jogging" Nikita said and stepped out of the bed.
Suddenly her phone rang.
" Hello?" she said
Silence
" Hello?" she repeated
" It's me. I just wanted to make sure that you are alright." someone responded
" Alex? where are you?" Nikita asked in relief
" It doesn't matter. I will see you soon. Bye" Alex said and turned off the phone.
" It's a start" Michael said behind Nikita.
" Yes, it is" Nikita smiled.
