"We've been tracking Kelly's movements. There's the jailbreak and the incident with the guards. This is where she abandoned their vehicle," Sonya showed Alex what she had been able to find on Kelly. When the hacker had heard that Division was going to save Kelly after all, she had become excited. So Amanda had been right- things in Division would be different. The agents wouldn't be abandoned. Unfortunately, that excitement was short-lived. Amanda didn't actually care about Kelly. She was only concerned with the rogues- it was always about the rogues. It was only a matter of time before the rest of them were forgotten for the rogues too.

"She's going west. If her goal was to get out of the country, she was closer to the eastern borders. I've never been to Turkey, but I'm pretty sure border patrol would notice a woman in a prison uniform trying to cross the border without a passport," Pacing back and forth behind Sonya's computer station, Alex mused. Of course Kelly's goal was to escape the country; anyone fleeing prison would choose that option. But she seemed to be doing it in a roundabout way. Why risk going west if she was so close to escaping to the east. What was Kelly thinking- if she even could think at the moment.

"How would someone with no money or contacts get new documents?" Although Sonya had never been in the field, she had done enough training and gathered enough information to know what Kelly needed to get out of the country. She had no way to get any of those papers in her current state. She'd have to steal money in order to obtain them. And even if she did, most people who forged documents would think she was too hot to handle at the moment. There weren't a lot of options for Kelly to choose from. Which should make it easier for Division to find her. And it'd make it easier for the rogues to find her too.

"She doesn't need new documents. Not if she already had a backup. Where was she staying on that last mission?" Sonya's question helped Alex understand what Kelly was doing. The only reason she wouldn't head straight for the border was if she had documents or clothing stashed somewhere. She could escape the country easily if she changed out of her prison clothes and passed off Division created paperwork. Why leave the country by sprinting across the border when you could hand over documents that wouldn't raise questions. Although she was in a desperate situation, Kelly was continuing to play it safe. Alex had to commend her for that.

All of Division's safehouses came equipped with all the weapons, clothes, supplies, money, and paperwork an agent would need. As far as Sonya could tell, the safehouse Kelly had used hadn't been cleaned or repurposed. Since she had been captured, Division thought it best to abandon any trace of themselves that could tie them to her. Their concern wasn't what would happen to their agent; they only care about themselves. It had been, was, and always would be that way. Sonya was aware of it, yet she still helped Division. She just kept following orders despite herself, "A safehouse in Ankara. We abandoned the property after the mission."

"If she had a safety net, it's stashed there. She has to go back to get it," Alex urged Sonya to send her the coordinates of the safehouse. By the time she flew out to Ankara, she doubted she'd be able to catch Kelly at the safehouse. But she could pick up clues as to where she might go next. Alex suspected that Kelly's next move was to steal a car- public transport would be too risky. Yet she'd follow that lead once she was in Turkey. For now, she'd take it one step at a time. Getting too far ahead of yourself was a bad move whenever the rogues were involved. Things changed too quickly with them. Small steps was Alex's best course of action.

Fortunately, with how long they had been rogue, it was likely that Michael, Nikita, and Birkhoff didn't know which safehouse Kelly could've been using. They'd end up searching the entire country while Alex managed to easily track down Kelly. It was possible that after she found the missing agent, she could convince her to help her bring in the rogues. Considering how much Kelly hated them, that should be easy to do. Then, the rogues could be brought to Amanda, and Alex would finally have the information she needed to kill Semak.

Though, she couldn't get ahead of herself. Thinking like that had only disappointed herself in the past. She couldn't put herself through that again. She had to be cautious and aware that anything could happen. Her plans wouldn't go exactly how she wanted them. She needed to be prepared for any possible change. If she was, then maybe she could find a way to stay ahead of Division and the rogues and finally get what she wanted. It was all about keeping her head and rolling with the punches. Alex had to be prepared for everything, including the voice that suddenly spoke up behind her, "Do we have a location?

"We?" Alex was ashamed to admit how startled she was by Roan's presence. She hadn't heard him approach; she wasn't aware that he was behind her until he had spoken. She knew that was what he had been trained to do and that was what made him so deadly. Yet it was still so unsettling that he could easily use those skills against Alex, and she would never know. All her training, all her skills, weren't much against him. She was very lucky that he was on her side. What exactly he was doing on her side, though, she had no idea. But if Roan was following her into the field, Alex knew that it wasn't good.

"It's your job to track Nikita. My job starts when you find her," Roan answered plainly. Alex noticed that he didn't say anything about the other rogues. The Terminator (as Birkhoff accurately called him) was only focused on the woman who had thrown acid in his face when he had tried to clean her- who had only been in that position because Alex had left her there. A chill ran up the young agent's spine. It didn't look like Roan held any grudges against her for the incident, yet he definitely had his murderous sights on Nikita. For the first time since accepting the mission, Alex became concerned for Nikita's life. Maybe catching her wouldn't be worth it.


Assuming that Kelly would run to a Division safehouse before attempting to cross the border, the rogues located where she might go before flying out to meet her. Nikita remembered a couple of safehouses in Turkey that Division had used before she had gone rogue. Birkhoff worked his magic to triangulate Kelly's arrest and her failed mission (luckily, the prep work had just been uploaded onto the black box before Michael had stolen it) with a safehouse in Ankara. Michael determined that they would search there first, then widen their area until they finally picked up on her trail.

Michael attempted to talk to Nikita as they flew to Ankara, yet she didn't say much. She was too busy thinking about what she would say to Kelly once she saw her again. The agreement they had had when they had saved Alex from the brothel was long gone. Just like any lingering feelings of friendship from when they had been partners. Kelly absolutely hated Nikita, and Nikita didn't blame her. However, that wasn't going to stop her from trying to help her old partner. She didn't deserve to be abandoned. Someone should actually care for her. And Nikita was going to make sure it was her.

Seeing the determination on his girlfriend's face, Michael dropped the discussion for the time being. But later, he would make Nikita talk to him about what was going on in her head. He simply needed to find another time to bring it up. As soon as they landed in Ankara, all their focus was on their mission. They hurried to the safehouse and found that it was still full of Kelly's belongings and contingencies. Nikita wanted to leave it and wait for Kelly there. Michael, on the other hand, suggested they take everything and have Kelly meet them in an open area- less damage could be caused that way. Nikita soon agreed.

After shoving clothes, supplies, and documentation into their mission bags, Michael and Nikita left a burner phone for Kelly to find, then moved back to their car to stake out the building. It wasn't long later that Kelly arrived. Nikita waited until she was well inside the building before she called the burner. Kelly answered after a few rings, and Nikita immediately spoke, "Kelly? It's me. It's Nikita. I'm here to help. Division should be on their way. You need to get out of there. Do you know that park near the parliament building? Meet me there in three hours. I can get you out of the country. And I can explain everything."

Before Kelly was even given a chance to respond, Nikita ended the call and disconnected the burner. Michael watched her movements, but didn't say a word. He'd let her open up about Kelly in her own time. Then, their focus could remain on escaping Turkey. The plan they had created so far might work. However, Michael wasn't entirely certain if they could convince Kelly to agree to their help. She had no reason to trust them. Just because they had her things didn't mean she was beholden to them. She might not deem them worth it. The plan could fall apart before it could begin, "How can you be sure she'll show?"

"If it were me, I'd want that explanation," Her eyes locked on the far distance, Nikita muttered. She and Kelly hadn't spoken much the last time they had met. But the entire time, Nikita knew that her former partner was dying to know why she had escaped Division and left her behind. It was time that Nikita told her. Kelly deserved to know everything. She had gone through the same hell in Division Nikita had, after all. It wasn't fair to keep treating her like the enemy. She was another one of Division's victims. It just hadn't been so obvious until she had been abandoned in a Turkish prison.

Although it didn't take long to reach the park that Michael had suggested they move to, they had to wait a few hours for the sun to go down. It was better to confront Kelly at night. It'd be harder for others to see what they were doing, and they could sneak an escaped convict around more easily. Kelly had the same thought as she waited for the sun to be completely down before she came out of her hiding spot in the bushes. The instant Nikita spotted her, she crossed over to her. She unfortunately didn't get far. Once Kelly saw her, she withdrew a stolen gun and sneered, "Hey, partner. You cleared out the safehouse. I want my stuff back."

"You don't have to do this," Nikita stopped in her tracks. She fought the urge to reach for her own weapon and draw it out. She didn't have to protect herself; Michael had his gun trained on Kelly from his position behind her. She also couldn't escalate the situation further. Someone had to remain calm. It normally wasn't her, yet she had to prove that she wasn't going to hurt Kelly. All she wanted to do was save her partner from more of Division's abuse. A gun wouldn't convince Kelly of her motives. Empty hands and a sincere expression would.

"I want to do this. Take off the bag and hand it over. Slowly," Kelly's eyes shifted between Nikita and Michael. She was attempting to determine who was the more dangerous one. Although Michael had his finger on the trigger, Kelly eventually determined that Nikita was the one she had to continue guarding herself against. Nikita wouldn't fight her on that decision. Of the rogues, Nikita had been the one to hurt Kelly the most. A lack of weapons and a serious tone wasn't enough to make up for all the past pain she had caused. Her offer of help had to be everything. Fortunately, Nikita was willing to do anything to get Kelly out of that situation.

"I told you: I'm here to help," Nikita only dropped the bag to her feet. Kelly would have to lower her gun and trust her if she wanted new clothes, fake documents, and money. There were other ways for Kelly to obtain those things, yet all of them would grant her unwanted attention. The only way to slip silently out of Turkey was to trust the rogues. Nikita could see how much Kelly despised that fact. Rage was clear on her face. Yet at least she didn't act on it. She had enough presence of mind to simply tighten her grip on her gun instead of shooting it.

"Are you really? Or are you gonna bail the instant things get too hard? Is it not enough to abandon me? You gotta kill me too?" Letting her rage drip acid on her tongue, Kelly accused Nikita of the worst. Although her mouth opened and closed, there was nothing Nikita could say to refute her former partner's claims. Of course she could keep insisting that she wanted to help. But that would only fall on deaf ears. If Nikita had truly wanted to help Kelly, then there were so many other things she could've done over the years for her. Yet she didn't do anything. She had just let Division hurt her.

There was no excuse for what Nikita had done to Kelly. After all, she had managed to help Alex, Sara, and Owen. So why hadn't she helped Kelly. Why couldn't she have helped her. Was it because, deep down, she was as awful as Kelly accused her of being. Or was it because she was the monster Percy had said was. Nikita leaned towards the latter. The only thing that stopped her from falling too deep down that rabbit hole of thought, though, was Birkhoff suddenly warning them through the com, "Somebody must have made a phone call. You've got half a dozen local police headed your way in a hurry."

"We have to get you out of here," Michael finally lowered his weapon as he warned. As soon as the words left his mouth, sirens could be heard in the distance. Kelly lowered her weapon as well. She began to study the park, looking for the best way to escape the approaching police. She couldn't locate where they were coming from, so she had absolutely no idea where to run. Nikita instantly decided that she'd take Kelly with her wherever they did run. She wouldn't let her partner remain so lost or scared. They'd face the challenges together, like they should've been doing all those years.

"We need to split up," After taking in their situation, Nikita decided. It'd be difficult for three people to escape from several cops. Sure, those three had the skills for it. But not without the risk of injury to themselves or an innocent bystander. It was far better to distract the cops and hide. One of them could lead the police away while the other two escaped. That would not only give them the time and freedom to cross the border, but it might also throw Division off their trail. Splitting up wasn't a part of their plan. Yet with the police involved, things had to change. Nikita was willing to change course. She just needed Michael and Kelly to agree with her.

"That's not a good idea. We talked about this," Michael argued against Nikita and his inclination to agree with her. Splitting up would undoubtedly save them from the encroaching police at that moment. However, he didn't want to leave Nikita and Kelly alone together. He didn't trust Kelly. And another he knew that Nikita could take care of herself, he didn't want to leave her in potential danger. It was always better when they stayed together. They could be prepared for anything that way. Separate, they were more prone to danger.

"We didn't expect a police chase either. We need a distraction," Shaking her head, Nikita quickly defended her position. Michael couldn't help but agree to it. He'd distract the cops while Nikita and Kelly escaped. Then, they'd meet up later and cross the border together. With Michael onboard with her plan, Nikita could turn to Kelly with stern confidence. The escaped agent continued to look around for her own plan, not knowing what the best way to save herself would be. Nikita made that decision for her by grabbing her arm and leading her away, "You're coming with me. We can finish this fight after we escape."


The jet to Ankara, Turkey wasn't that adventurous. Alex felt awkward and on edge being in close proximity to Roan. Yet he didn't say anything to her, so she was able to deal. Well, at least deal with his presence. The thoughts of what he would do once Nikita was found plagued Alex. Yes, she was annoyed with the rogues. And yes, she wanted them out of the way so she could finally kill Semak and save her mother. However, she didn't want Nikita, Michael, or Birkhoff to suffer. As much as she was angry at them, she didn't want them to die. The only person she was that livid at was Semak.

Thinking about how she would soon have the information needed to kill him helped Alex to shove aside her thoughts of the rogues. She simply had to think of them as a mission. They were a means to an end. Her mother was more important to her than whatever the hell they were up to. And, thankfully, it didn't seem like they had been up to too much while Alex had flown to Turkey. Sonya didn't have an update for her until she neared the abandoned safehouse. Then, a flurry of news came in all at once. Kelly had made another daring escape attempt; that time, in a flashy car that seemed like an odd choice, "A silver sports car? Was it stolen?"

"No report's been filed yet," Sonya answered Alex. She didn't have a lot of the information. What she could glean from satellites and street cameras wasn't much. She had stopped being able to track Kelly's movements once she had reached Ankara, and it was too dark to make out any faces in the vehicle. Most of Sonya's information then came from multiple police reports. One alerted police to Kelly's presence in the park, the other called for backup after the shooting. Sonya had to guess what happened, yet it was a fairly easy guess. Kelly was on the run again. Division and the rogues had to keep chasing.

"Then how are they sure that it's Kelly?" Alex didn't trust the Turkish police's judgment. After all, as far as they knew, they were simply chasing an escaped convict. They didn't know the training she had had, nor did they know her goals and motivations. Besides clearing the Division safehouse of money, clothes, and documents, Alex wasn't positive she knew Kelly's motivations either. There was a chance she wasn't trying to return to Division; she was simply running. However, Alex at least understood the agent far more than the police did. She knew Kelly was smart, despite the fact that she was scared. And she knew she'd get what she wanted.

"She fired at them before fleeing," Sonya read off what she had found in the Turkish police system. All units were on a look out for that silver sports car and Kelly. If she hadn't fired at them, there was a chance that they wouldn't have even known to follow her. Sonya couldn't understand her purpose for firing at them. Had she been proving a point. Had she tried to take out their tires and missed. Had she finally been backed far enough into a corner that she was lashing out. It didn't make sense. She had been doing so well- why screw up then.

"None of that sounds right. You pick a fancy car because who would suspect a fugitive in that? And then you shoot at the police, to what? Make sure that they follow you?" Alex couldn't make sense of the series of events either. Despite her personal opinions about Kelly, she knew that she was an incredibly smart and capable agent. Kelly wouldn't start making mistakes while fleeing from the police. No, she'd be smarter, more cunning- especially if the rogues were with her. The sports car and the gunfire had to have been a trick. There was a more devious plan in action, "Do the police cars have GPS tracking?"

"I'm already in the system. The police just left the park. Do you want me to monitor their route?" Honestly, Sonya was already following the police. She was curious to see what Kelly was thinking. The hacker doubted that the agent was acting on pure terrified instinct. She had to have some sort of plan. Why draw that much attention to herself if she wasn't thinking of something. Where the police chase and the sports car ended up could be clues about what was going on. Kelly hadn't given up yet, even if her methods seemed too dangerous to actually work.

"No, listen. The police are chasing a decoy. Nikita and Michael already have Kelly. They're leading the police away. One of those cars should be heading off course," Alex told Sonya her idea. It didn't seem farfetched to her. She knew the rogues; she knew how much they liked diversions to throw Division off their scent. They were usually pretty good at causing chaos and forcing their enemies to follow the wrong lead. They were also very good at using other's strengths against them. The stolen sports car and gun shots were obvious distractions to lead the police on a wild goose chase. That then left Kelly to escape in something no one would suspect.

Alex's idea made a lot more sense than what Sonya was thinking. The rogues could've easily stolen a police car in the chaos and were making their great escape in that. Sonya watched the trackers of all the cars speeding away from the park. They were all heading in the same direction at first. But after a few miles, the vehicle in the back of the group peeled away from the others. Sonya watched it for a moment to confirm that it wasn't joining police vehicles in another area. Then, she reported the anomaly to Alex, "I've got one headed north."

"Okay, that's Nikita. Watch that car, and tell me where it stops," Alex ordered Sonya. No one would stop or question a police vehicle. It was the perfect car for Kelly to speed to her next destination in- or for Nikita to speed away in. Alex didn't doubt that the rogue was with her former partner. The decoy seemed like something Nikita would come up with, so of course she had to be a part of the rescue side of things. Amanda had been right: Nikita had to help her partner, no matter the trouble that caused. If only that trouble wasn't in the way of Alex killing Semak. Otherwise, Alex wouldn't stop Nikita, or bring Roan right to her.
