Finally at the end of an enjoyable evening, Adam looked up and saw his father on the swing. Adam sat the towel down and headed onto the porch. His ever-observant calculating father appeared to be staring at nothing. Adam reflected on the day his father had come back to him. He had been to young at the time to know the reason for his fathers pain at leaving the airport, but with the trust of a child he had gone with him. He had trusted his father to make everything all right. His trust was not misplaced. Over the years his father had done everything for him. Had loved him and been there whole-heartedly.
The young man that now stood in the doorway understood what the little boy had not. His father had sacrificed a part of himself, for his son. Now in college and seriously considering marriage himself, Adam knew his father needed closer. He had to confront that part of himself that he had lost. You should go to her.
What? Michael asked not sure he liked where his son was going with this.
The woman in the airport, what was her name?
Adam. Michael warned. His son was not put off though and let the expectant silence stretch, he had learned from the best. Nikita. Michael finally gave in.
In that one word all of Adams suspicions were confirmed. His father needed this woman as much one needed breath to live. Go to her.
Its not that simple.
I return to college on Monday. Go to her. Adam entered the house. He looked up as, Michael appeared in the doorway of the living room.
Why?
I love you and you need her. You say its not that simple, but you have never let anything stop you. Your fear tells me how much you love. Dad you have always taught me that nothing worth anything is simple. Yet love is. It is the most powerful complicated difficult thing in the world, but because of love my Daddy gave up everything for me. Dad, you have given me so much and now I am telling its okay to do something for yourself. I will always need you but its time you took care of yourself for once.
Michael looked his son with pride and love reflected in his eyes. He had grown so much in some respects these years had flown by and now that they had come to a new chapter, Michael felt sad at leaving the other behind.
Thank you.
Adam shook his head empathically, No. Thank you. Now get on a plane and go!
Michael laughed. Adam was the only one he had known besides Nikita that ever dared to order him around. Nikita she had said he would know where to find her, he did. There was no doubt that Section had moved but like he had told the collective he knew Section better then they knew themselves. He knew the leadership better then he knew Section
it wouldnt be hard to find them, to find her. But was he ready? Michael knew he had changed since that night. Just like he knew he could and would step into his Section persona to do this. In truth he still found himself using the skills he had acquired there. He was perpetually aware of his surroundings, could still size a person or situation up in seconds, and act accordingly. But am I really ready to go back to that world? Michael asked himself and then knew that if it was required to see Nikita he would.
~~~>>>~~~
Michael entered the BB and stepped into the mouth of hell. A young man came up beside him. Will you please follow me, Sir? The gun buried in Michaels side made him give an ironic smile.
Of course. Michael got up and let him lead him into the room. He entered a room and was pushed onto the floor, before he had a chance to move there was a gun in his face.
Michael decided not to move, yet. He had to know what was going on.
Michael saw the figure enter the room out of the corner of his eyes. The gun cocked and a voice said. Leave him alone.
Your crazy, hes dangerous.
If he had wanted you dead you would be. The operative said. Smacking the man in the face with the gun. Dont ever question me again!
Hold it!
No.
Drop it! Three more operatives entered they seemed to be taking sides. A shot rang out and the operative that was starting to enter dropped dead. At the end of the confusion, those who opted for Michaels death stood in the room but the two on Michaels side held them at gunpoint.
Thanks. Michaels original defender said.
The female operative nodded and stared at Michael smiling, Welcome back, Michael. Sorry for the inconvience. You surprised us.
Michael now recognized his two defenders. Jason and Jasmine. Of course. Michael said standing up.
We really should-
Shut up! Do as your told. Jasmine snapped. Another entered and shot at Michael. Michael avoided the shot. What do you think your doing!
Operations said-
Operations will have you canceled!
I really think.
Enough. Jason said and glancing at Michael and Jasmine tapped his earpiece. Josephine we have a situation. Can you come to the living room?
Your evil! Jasmine hissed amused.
