A young man sat inside the section van, his hands shaking as he tried to contact Michael or anyone else on the teams. He quickly turned and grabbed the com unit.
“Birkoff.”
“Yes Mark, where is everyone?” Birkoff asked as he pounded quickly on his keyboard.
“They’re not responding. Michael said to abort but then-“
“Nikita will not be happy if we’ve lost the teams, get me some answers now.” Birkoff stated as he quickly stood and rushed toward the aerie.
Mark turned as the door to the van flew open and a red haired man jumped in. “Go, we’ve been compromised, we lost the teams.” He grabbed the water bottle and quickly swallowed, then softly pressed his com unit.
“Operations.”
“Igor, where is Michael?” Nikita asked as Quinn entered her office.
“We lost the teams, the enemy ambushed us, there are no survivors.” Igor stated coldly as he stared at Mark.
Mark pounded on his laptop for several seconds and nodded. “Confirmed Nikita, there are no life signs.”
Nikita stared at Birkoff. “No, Igor return and bring Michael back immediately! You are ordered to bring him back Now!”
“Nikita the compound-“
A loud bang was heard and Birkoff rushed to the monitor quickly bringing the satellite surveillance online. Shaking his head he turned to gaze at Nikita. “The van was destroyed Nikita, the laboratories have been blown up, there are no survivors.”
Nikita turned toward the window and gasped. She stared straight into Walter’s eyes before her hands covered her swollen abdomen and she collapsed on the floor.
Walter dropped the gun he held and rushed toward the aerie as Birkoff quickly kneeled beside Nikita. Reaching out he pressed a button.
“Medlab to the aerie Immediately.” He turned as Walter entered the aerie.
“What happened?” He asked as he kneeled and drew Nikita into his arms.
Birkoff sighed. “The Ashantari Mission was ambushed, no survivors.”
Walter tightened his hold on Nikita as tears filled his eyes. “The boy died as he deserved, in the line of duty.” He looked up and gazed into Birkoff's eyes. “Contact
oversight, advise them of the situation.”
Birkoff nodded and stood aside as the medics entered the aerie. He quickly exited the room and rushed down the stairs toward comm.

“Vashti do you have the target?” Ashdar asked from the door as the room slowly filled with bright lights.
“Yes, he fell into my arms like a rag doll. Never even realized that he had been tranqued.” a tall black haired woman said as she caressed Michael’s cheek.
Ashdar grabbed her arm and forced her to stand. “Remember he is not yours, you may not play with this one Vashti.”
Vashti pouted, pulling away from Ashdar’s hold she stared at the man at her feet. “But he’s so perfect, Rahine will never know that he-“
Ashdar wrapped his hands around her neck and glared at her. “He is Rahine’s and no other shall touch him.” He let go and pushed Vashti toward the desk. “Take the woman with you, make sure she is prepared for the sale.”
Vashti glared darkly at him but turned, quickly taking the unconscious Mina in her arms she slowly carried the woman out toward the van.

Shantal sat crossed legged in the middle of her bed, she had dressed in her pink outfit and now combed out her long light coppery gold hair. "Faroush, tell me now what she plans."
Faroush stood beside the window and sighed. running his hands through his dark brown hair he shook his head and turned.
"Rahine will not use the usual method Shanti, she is using a stronger type of drug, specially formulated for this man." He stared deeply into Shantal's dark gaze and sighed once again. "This man could die if the drugs are not continued Shanti, are you sure you are willing to risk his life and yours?"
Shantal nodded and began to braid her hair.
Faroush took a deep breath and turned, staring out into the private garden Shantal had been gifted with. "What did Andrea and Karen tell you about this man before they died?"
Shantal closed her eyes and grimaced. remembering her friends and how rebelious they had been their first few months in the harem. "Andrea knew him best, she slept with him, while Karen was simply a trainee." she stood and slowly walked toward the window. standing beside Faroush she lifted her hand and gently placed it on his folded arm.
Faroush turned and gazed into her eyes. nodding at the silent question there he took a deep breath and proceeded.
"The drugs will be in his food and drinks, they will turn him into a zombie that will obey any command. but the effects can be limited."
Shantal tightened her hold on his arm. "How?"
Faroush turned toward the door and sighed. "If she finds out that I have told you Shanti we will die."
Shantal closed her eyes. "This man does not deserve Rahine's cruelty, she is bored with the blonde man and wants-"
Faroush grabbed her shoulders and squeezed. "How do you know about the blonde man?"
Shantal struggled against his tight hold, finding she could not get free she lifted tear filled eyes to gaze at Faroush.
"The blonde man with the large scar? I've seen him inside her gardens, making love to her. No one has noticed that from the tower you can see Rahine's private gardens."
Faroush cursed under his breath, The blonde man was supposed to not exist, if Rahine found out she would be merciless.
Shantal squirmed. "What's so important about this man? he isn't one of her regulars."
Faroush let go of Shantal and shook his head. "No Shanti, he is special, the blonde man is like Andrea and Karen. he belonged to the organization and is thought dead." Faroush crossed the room, taking the large orange from the plate he began to tear the skin off. "Shanti, I must warn you about the man who will arrive shortly."
Shantal obediently returned to her bed and sat, smiling as Faroush offered her half of the orange, she accepted and waited for him to continue.
"This man, he is their top operative. He is special-"
Shantal smiled. "yes I know, he's the husband of their leader. I heard she carries his child even now, won't she send her entire organization after him?"
Faroush glared at her for interrupting him. shaking his head he elaborated. "This man is believed dead, the leader will not come after him, at least not unless she has a reason to believe he is alive." he lifted his dark brow and smiled.
Shantal knew that expression. "Is he our ticket out of here Faroush?"
Faroush nodded imperceptively and smiled once again. "Yes My child, but it will still be several months before we may escape. now concentrate and allow me to finish." he stated in a fatherly voice.
Shantal's smile widened at the knowledge that soon she and Faroush would be able to leave this harem, Faroush had approached her several weeks before and told her of his plans, ever since she had tried to find any way to escape, but until today, their escape was too dangerous. now they had a way out, provided that they were able to contact Michael's wife and give her positive proof that he was alive and held captive. Shantal lifted her gaze and smiled sheepishly as Faroush continued.
"Now you know that his tolerance for drugs and his romantic skills are legendary among our people. you must always be on guard against not only the drugs that will be administered to him but against his charms."
Shantal nodded as Faroush quickly and with great detail explained Michael's unique abilities and charms.
"Are you sure you can handle him?" Faroush asked as he finished.
Shantal nodded. "What about the food and drinks? how will i know which are drugged and which are not?"
Faroush smiled knowingly. "Grecia, the cook's daughter will help us with that, she will cook all his meals, and make sure that a limited amount of drugs are contained. but Shanti, this man will be sedated for weeks, after that he will not be controlable without the full potency of Hester's drugs. He will need to cooperate."
Shantal nodded. "He will, Faroush don't worry, just make sure the drugs he is given do not affect his cognitive abilities, if we are to escape he needs to be able to think, plan and most important run."
Faroush nodded, a soft smile covering his lips. "He will be coherent enough child." he slowly turned and left the chamber leaving Shantal alone to receive her new charge.
