CHAPTER 20

Betrayal….or..not

Alex's P.O.V

Owen counted to three silently so Nikita would open the door at the same time he did. On three Owen opened the door and held his gun out as did Nikita. I was at the bottom of the steps and could see up the stairwell. Owen carefully made his way out onto the roof with Nikita not far behind when a rock hit Owen in the head and knocked him out and then a man jumped onto Nikita and they tousled around for a couple of seconds until Owen regained consciousness and joined in to help Nikita even though she really didn't need it. My stomach dropped when I realized who it was.

I ran up the steps and pushed him when he was in mid kick even though Owen and Nikita had it. Owen kicked him in the head as he fell from the unexpected push and knocked him out. Nikita and Owen immediately tied him up. When they were taking him down the steps I realized I was crying. I don't even know why. I guess because I couldn't believe that he would do such a thing.

He started to wake up as soon as we got him tied to a pole.

"What are you doing here ?" I asked him as I knelt down beside him, trying my hardest to keep my tears from flowing down my cheeks. There was blood dripping from his head from where Owen hit him.

"I wasn't going to hurt anyone." He told me.

"Then why did you come ? We were making plans to come and save you and you come here like this."

"Alex please, I came here to help you guys." He assured me.

"How ?" I asked, having no trust in him whatsoever. "You hit Owen in the head with a rock ?" I exclaimed.

"I didn't know who he was. I thought maybe Division got to you before I could and by the time I realized it was Nikita that I jumped on I was pushed and hit in the head." He explained convincingly.

"What was the plan ?" Nikita asked, interfering but I didn't mind.

"What ?" Michael asked confused.

"The plan, what was the plan you wanted to make with us ?"

"Uhh." Michael paused, scrunching his forehead together to think fast so he wouldn't look suspicious. "Percy wants you Nikita. He's offered to let Alex, Thom and Jaden go if he has you."

"So you were going to bring me to Percy to be killed ?" Nikita asked, clearly getting pissed.

"No, God no Nikita. Listen. He also promised to help me take down Kasim but he also said he wanted me to bring him the boxes so I thought maybe we could make replica's of the boxes and I can tell him that you got away. That way we still have the information on Percy but he won't know it until I already have Alex, Thom and Jaden out of the country and safe." He explained.

Nikita took some to think his plan through and nodded her head, clearly believing him.

"Then why sneak in from the roof ?" She asked calmly.

"I just betrayed Percy Nikita and yet he decides to give me another chance ? I don't think so. I think he wants to use me to get the black boxes because he knows that you trust me and as soon as I hand over the boxes, he's going to shoot me dead. So to answer your question, I think Percy might have some guys watching me, making sure I don't turn on them which is why I had to make it look like I was actually trying to break in. Only I also had to make the fight look real but I was unaware that there was another well trained agent here." He answered.

"I believe you. Id doesn't sound like you to turn on us." She said, already going to untie him. I guess she figured if he did try anything, he was outnumbered and he no longer had any of his guns. As soon as his hands were free, he held his head.

"Let me go get the kit." I offered.

"No, we want it to look real when I get there, like I didn't have any time to fix my wounds." He said logically. I just nodded my head still shocked to see him before me and safe.

"How are we going to make the black boxes fast enough ?" I asked.

"We have Birkhoff. That's all we need." He smiled warmly, as if to apologize for worrying me earlier. I smiled back before shyly looking away to Nikita as she discussed the plan.

"So while you go to meet up with Percy, I'll be getting everyone out of the country and onto a plane then we'll join them after we find Kasim and kill him." Nikita explained.

"Sounds good." Michael agreed. "You almost done Birk ?" Michael asked behind him.

"Yeah actually, I only have to transfer the data to one more of the boxes and we're good to go." He answered.

"Awesome, we're doing great on time." Nikita said as she got up. "Alex, Thom, Jaden, go get packed., you're leaving tonight." She told us.

"What ?" I asked confused. "Aren't you coming with us ?" I asked worried.

"Yes but not until I help Michael." She said firmly.

"No, I'm staying and I'm going to help you guys." I told her.

"No Alex, stop trying to be the hero. We have enough help and we'll join you shortly.

I didn't know what else to say, the look in her face told me that she wasn't about to change her mind. As I was packing some clothes I heard a knock at the door. I turned to see who it was and saw it was Michael. My stomach immediately dropped. Not because I was scared but because I was nervous. I hadn't seen in a while and we never really got to discuss each others feelings.

"Alexandria." He stated as he made his way towards me.

"Hi." I smiled.

"You'll be okay." He promised me, sitting on my bed.

"I know that." I said dully. "I'm worried about you being okay." I admitted.

"I'll be okay too, Alex. I have to for you and myself and Nikita and for my family. I still haven't gotten my revenge yet." He told me. I nodded as I folded a shirt and set in in my bag.

"So I was thinking when I join you in the Bahamas, we could go out on a date." He suggested. I silently screamed in my head. I don't know if it was because I found out that we would be living in the Bahamas or that Michael just asked me out…oh my God wait, Michael just asked me out. I looked up at him not knowing what to say. All of a sudden he looked unsure.

"I mean, you would want to right ?" He asked nervously. I smiled shyly before saying yes.

"Good. For a second there I was scared you didn't feel the same way." He breathed.

"Sorry." I smirked. He smiled back.

"We're about to leave in a few." He informed me getting up.

"Wait." I said after him. He looked back at me and stopped. "Promise you'll keep Nikita safe too." I told him. He came up to me and without hesitation kissed me. His lips met mine and then I opened my mouth and massaged his tongue with mine. It was one of those kisses that feel like it's going to last forever but ends too soon, leaving you to want more. He gently pulled away and set his forehead on mine. "I promise you Alex that I will keep Nikita safe and myself. I promise you that within 48 hours we will all be sitting on a beach, drinking margaritas and soaking up the sun." He whispered. I quickly pecked his lips then nodded my head, telling him that I trusted him.

"Until them, be safe." He ordered. I laughed since he was the one walking into danger.

When we arrived at the airport, I was partly happy and partly sad. It felt like a new chapter in my life. I just didn't know if this chapter would work out or not. Jaden, Thom and Birkhoff got out of the van and went to the back to get their bags. Michael stayed in the drivers seat as I stayed in the passengers. "I'll miss you." I smiled.

"I'll miss you too." He smiled back before leaning in for a kiss. Birkhoff hacked into a local satellite and did a search around the building and saw that nobody had followed Michael to the loft. He also hacked into Michaels tracker and changed what Percy saw so he saw that he was still at the loft when really he was taking us to the airport so Nikita could get some last things put together.

"Id there's anyone in the world that I trust, it's you and Nikita. I know you guys will be okay especially together." I said.

"Good. Hopefully that means that you won't worry." He said.

"I never said that." I laughed. "I'll see you in 48 hours at the latest." I told him, opening up my door and getting out.

"48 hours at the latest." Michael repeated smiling before I smiled back and shut the door.

So what did you think ? Too fast ? Too slow ? Not dramatic enough ? Did I not explain something good enough ?

Sorry for all of the questions but I typed pretty fast and I might have left some things out.

Anywho, I realllly hope that you guys liked it ! 3
