Hey sorry, it's been forever! I've been quite busy and haven't found a lot of time to write. Here's the next chapter! It's short but you guys have been waiting FOREVER and you deserve to see where the story's going. Sorry again!
"Your son?" Sean asked.
"Why else do you think that I'd stay and work for the people that killed my parents?" Alex wondered as she hugged Mason close to her, "I couldn't have them kill him too."
Sean placed his hand on Alex's shoulder before he questioned, "How?"
"Didn't they teach you in what ever prep school you went to?" Alex replied sarcastically, "I mean I was a sex slave after all, put two and two together."
"How did Division get him?" Sean continued.
Alex was stumped. She didn't expect Sean to ask so many questions this quick; she just figured that he'd be so confused that she could run past him. "Alex do you copy?" she heard Birkhoff in her ear piece.
"How about you help me get him out of here and then I'll tell you the whole story," Alex offered hoping that the Navy seal standing in front of her hadn't found the holes in her story yet.
Lucky for her, Sean answered, "What do you want me to do?"
"Make sure that Amanda doesn't notice me," Alex replied, "she knows that I'm here but if I'm caught leaving, she'll think that I'm going back to Nikita. Not to metion what she would do to Mason to get me to stay."
Sean added, "Ok. Take this it's clean."
Alex looked down saw that Sean had given her a burner phone. She could tell that it was almost entirely new and that it didn't reek of Division yet. "What's this for?"
"My number is on it," Sean explained, "Call me when you're out and in a safe place. I'll meet you and then you can explain."
Alex nodded telling Sean that she would. She then waited for him to make his way to operations. "Ok Mason we don't have long. I need you to run for me can you do that?"
A very sleepy Mason nodded as Alex let him down and took his hand.
"What do you mean that we can't keep Mason?" Michael asked.
Nikita started to tear up as she explained, "It's too dangerous for him. We're in a war that has no end in sight. Two of our safe houses have already been blown to pieces, do you know how guilty I would I feel if that happened again while Mason was in the house?"
"Shh," Michael soothed, "I understand how you feel but how did you expect me to react? I just found out that I have a son and you're telling me that once I get to finally meet him I have to give him away."
"Come on Michael. We both know that out of the two of us you've spent more time with him than I have," Nikita bitterly stated.
Michael shook his head and replied, "No I haven't. He's only ever spent time with Amanda."
"Either way, it doesn't matter," Nikita added, "We don't have a safe environment for him here. I don't want him anywhere near this."
Michael reached across the kitchen table and grabbed Nikita's hand before asking, "What do we think our next move should be?"
"We need to find somewhere that Mason can stay. Somewhere that he can be safe and where Division can't find him." Nikita answered, "I want to know where he is at all times. Now that I'm finally getting him back I never want him off my radar."
"I understand," Michael stated smiling, "I think I know of the perfect place."
"Come in," a very bored Amanda stated as she looked through some papers on her desk.
"I need a word with you," Sean started taking a seat across from her, "Where are we on the Rodgers interrogation."
Amanda sat up straight, looked right into Sean's eyes and answered, "He's been cancelled. It's what Division should have done all along."
"But," Sean interrupted, "I thought you wanted him alive so you could figure out where Nikita is?"
"Well I did at first, but then Alex came back safe and sound…"Amanda paused.
Sean looked at her with a new interest, in his short time at Division he had never seen Amanda so out of it. She was always on top of things and seemed to know what was about to happen next. Reluctantly he asked, "So Alex made it back, which is what you wanted and then you cancelled Rogers. Awesome, one less bad guy in the world. What's our cover story?"
"It's already been put in place," Amanda replied crossing to the far side of her office and started fidgeting with a device, "Is that all you needed Pierce?"
"Yes," Sean confirmed, "I'll leave you alone now."
Amanda nodded and gestured for him to leave. As Sean reached for the doorknob, Amanda asked, "Can you please send Alex in after you? I have a few more questions for her."
Sean nodded before leaving the office, taking a deep breath and reaching for his phone.
"Alex where are you?" Birkhoff asked for the fourth time in her ear.
Alex rolled her eyes and ducked into a doorway before answering, "Still in Division. I haven't run into anymore obstacles but I don't want to risk the chance of Amanda finding me."
"Alex listen to me," she heard Nikita this time, "Can you reach the abandoned silo?"
"That won't be very easy to climb with Mason on my back," Alex replied, "Also that's where Percy's being kept."
"Right," Nikita added, "Birkhoff's working on getting his eyes in there as we speak."
All of sudden, Alex felt a vibration in her pocket. She picked up the phone and saw the number on the screen, "Just a minute guys." She double checked to see if anybody was coming before answering, "Sean?"
"Are you still in Division?" he asked.
"Yes," she replied while picking up Mason, "I'm trying my best to not be seen."
"Well, I just came from Amanda's office, she wants to see you again," Sean added.
"Great," Alex added, "just when I thought I was finally going to get out of here."
"Don't worry," Alex heard from a voice quite close to her, "I've got a plan." She turned around to find the "boy scout" smirking at her while hanging up his phone.
Alex gave him a startled expression before asking, "How did you find me."
"Quite easy as a matter of fact. It's not that hard to sneak up on people that are trying to hide in a deserted hallway," Sean added while grinning.
"Whatever," Alex huffed, "can you just help us get out?"
"Let's go," Sean stated taking her hand and leading her towards the elevator.
"They should be back by now," Michael stated coming back from the kitchen.
Birkhoff nodded, "I lost them a half hour ago; they should be out of there."
"Something might have happened," Nikita added, "I thought her conversation with Amanda was too easy. Amanda shouldn't have fallen for that so quickly."
Michael went over to her and started rubbing her shoulders before replying, "You never know, maybe they're just stuck in heavy traffic."
"Not quite," they heard a new voice add.
They all turned around with a shock to see not two but three people standing in the doorway. Alex was holding Mason and he was barely awake, but the real shock of it was that Alex was standing with a gun pointed at her head and Sean stood with his finger on the trigger.
"You brought Mr. Fancy Navy Seal Pants to the safe house!" Birkhoff yelled.
Nikita glared at him glancing at Mason and then back.
"Lower your weapon," Michael stated picking up a gun and pointing it at Sean.
"I have no problem shooting her," Sean stated, "She's a traitor."
"How about now?" Nikita asked with a weapon of her own, "it's two against one Boy Scout and I bet last night is still fresh enough in your mind to realize that we've beaten you once and we can beat you again."
"Mommy?" A very awake Mason now cried staring right at Nikita. The whole room was silent as Nikita lowered her weapon and joy spread across her and Michael's faces while confusion spread all over Sean's.
He lowered his weapon, looked Alex square in the face and stated, "You've got some explaining to do."
Another cliff hanger sorry, hopefully it'll keep you interested! I'll try my best to update again but it'll be in few weeks, I'm really busy with school and soccer so again it'll be a while.
Can you believe how far Nikita has gone this season? All I can saw is wow!
Review please! Who knows the more reviews, the more I'll want to update again =)
