" Germany, I am coming. Two more missions and then I can come back to my family.. free from my torture, free from my nightmare" Alex whispered to herself so that only her can listen to what she was saying.

" Alex!" Meredith exclaimed happily and three blurs run to hug the newcomer. It had been sometime since Alex was with her team and her people missed her. They were used to being in her presence, they missed her caring nature, her smiles and hugs. Alex was not only the leader of their little group but she was also the heart, the thing that binded them all together.

" Hi guys. I missed you, too" Alex giggled hugging her buddies tightly. They were greatly missed too. They were a family now, not just a group of agents and assasins trying to avenge their pasts and change the world.

After some time, Alex managed to persuade the guys to take her inside into their warehouse since it was common sense that being outside, exposed like that was extremely dangerous when Aanda was their opponent. They talked and laughed and maybe had one or two drinks before they decided that it was time to start working so that they all can go back to their home and start anew.

" Ok, what do you have for me?" Alex asked when her playmates settled down on the oval table for the briefings and planning of the missions.

John took the lead one more time and started debriefing Alex.

" Well, his name is Bulkov Romanevic. He is orphan and has no family. He works as a delivery boy. Every night he goes to the Bloodshed, a bar outside of the city and drinks till he can not walk sraight. Nothing intersting in his present, his past files have been erased and we were not able to retrieve them." John said seriously.

" Good. Thanks you, guys. I will take over from here." Alex said dismissing the others.

" Come on Alex, not another solo mission." Meredith protested angrily. It was a comon true that the team did not like when one of them went to solo missions, without any back-up.

" Do not worry guys. I will be absolutely ok" Alex said and stood up, took her gun and left the house.

The guys sighed defeated and resigned they did random work waiting for Alex to return.

Alex waited and waited outside of the bar. She could see the man drinking his sorrows away. But this man was not how he remembered him. He was lacking the cocky and arrogant attitude. Around 4 the man decided that he had enough for today. He left the bar but he could feel someone watching him. Hastly he started walking towards his apartment. Two streets later he was stopped, when Alex stepped in front of him.

" Hello Bulkov, long time no seen" Alex said calmly, coldly staring at the man in front of her.

The man let a strangled whimper and fell to his knees sobbing uncontrollably.

" Please forgive. Please. Kill me. Show me mercy and kill me. I can't live with myself anymore. I waited for you. I knew that you will come for me. Please. I beg you, kill me" Burkov continued crying and begging.

" Give me his name, Burkov" Alex demanded seeming unfaded, but in truth she was breaking inside. She didn't expect a welcoming like that. She was ready for a fight, not for a man who regretted his past action.

" Sam Justin. He lives in New York." Burkov replied immediately.

" Go. Take your revenge. You deserve the closure. Kill him. Kill us all" Burkov ordered calmly.

" What happened, Burkov? Did you have a change of heart those years?" Alex asked confused. Why was this man so resigned to his fate?

" I made a lot of mistakes. What I did to you was the worst. Please forgive me, Alexandra. I can't live with myself anymore. Please kill me." Burkov pleaded devastated. He wanted everything to end, the nightmares ti stop existing, he wanted to find peace in death.

Alex pointed her gun at Burkov's heart and shot once. Burkov fell to the ground trying to breathe. Alex kneeled next to him and held his hand slowly looking as his eyes lost their light.

" I forgive you" Alex breathed seeing the man in front of her slowly dying.

Burkov smiled for the first time in years. He was feeling peace, his burden of his sins was taken away from him.

" Thank you. Be strong." Burkov said back before he closed his eyes for a last time.

Alex stood with him one more minute, silently praying for him to find peace and then stood up walking back to her team and ready to go after her final target Sam Justin.

Amanda was watching the video playing again and again. She was frustated that she did not have sound and that Burkov's back was turned to her and could not read his lips.

When she saw Alex executing the unarmed man, a creepy smile took place on her face.

" A cold-blooded murderer, just like her father. Welcome back Alexandra, welcome back" Amanda mused to herself before leaving the operation room.
