I barely masked the startled look that crossed my face. Had Jason really just called me Josephine? Something was going down, but what was it? I motioned to my two shadows. Operations couldn’t go anywhere with out guards it seemed. Walking down the hall, I noticed the door to the living room was open and I could see operatives with guns out. Narrowing my eyes I stopped to hear what was being said.
“ What part of this are you having trouble with?” Jasmine’s annoyed voice carried out into the hall.
“ But.”
A crash sounded followed by her voice again. “ I will not tolerate insolence on my team!”
“ Operations will-“
“ Operations will what?” I said stepping over the operative in the doorway. My eyes swept the room and took in Michael. Quickly pulling my eyes off him I returned to the business at hand. I knew he had seen the flicker of surprise and longing but prayed he wouldn’t compromise this situation. After all he had told me himself sometimes you have to appear ruthless.
“ Josephine-“
“ Was detained. I decided to deal with this screw up myself! Put those guns away! Pray that the guests have not become aware of your activities.” I said my tone cold. Then I turned to, Jasmine “ Was that necessary?” I asked motioning to the dead operative.
“ Yes.” I nodded satisfied. “ You three get out there, you’re on team 3. You almost compromised one of Section’s best operatives. Do not mess up again! ” The level 1 operatives scattered. “Jackson, Kenneth get out! See that those three don’t mess up again. Jasmine, Jason, stay here.”
When the room cleared of all but the four of us. I turned to them. “ You did fine, however; control these teams!”
“ These cycled operatives are dangerous.”
“ I put them on your teams, deal with it!”
“ Yes, Ma’am.” Those two looked at me and slowly smiled, then decided it was best to beat a hasty retreat. They were right. Jason winked as he went by and closed the door behind him. I shook my head amused some things never changed, I was thankful for it.
Turning to Michael I shade the role of Operations. Nikita stood before him guarded afraid to hope…I summoned my courage and said, “ Michael.” The greeting was full of questions. He said nothing, then approached. I held my breath as he took the microphone from me and sat it on the table. Triggered by body heat it shut off.
“ Nikita.” He said tucking a stray piece of hair behind my ear. “ I told you I’d come.”
“ Michael, we live in two different worlds.”
“ No.”
“ Michael, no.” I said realizing what he wanted. I couldn’t bring him back into Section, back to that hell. What about his life outside of Section?
“ Do you love me?” My head came up at that question. How could he ask that? Didn’t he know the answer?
“ Yes.”
“ Do it.”
“ Michael, you can’t be serious.”
“ Nikita. “
That one word sunk it. With tears running down my eyes, I threw my arms around him. My emotions where he was concerned were always a weakness. “ You don’t have to do this.”
“ Yes.”
“ Why?”
“ I love you.” I was shocked. Michael, had not only said the words, he had said them first. My heart swelled and I didn’t know what to say. I would do it, and somehow I would make sure we were together. This man loved me enough to come back to Section for me, even after he had true freedom. Why should that surprise me? Hadn’t I done same thing? If it weren’t for Michael there was no way I would have allowed “Mic” to recruit me. I said the only thing I could, “ I love you too.” Pulling back from him I said, “ Give me three days to get things ready. I’ll send Jasmine for you if you change your mind don’t be there. We won’t come after you otherwise… welcome back.”
I hugged him again and then placed the microphone back on. I was once again the head of Section 1. “ Jason report.” I said as I headed for the door.
“ Nikita.” Michael called me and I turned back to him. “ I won’t” Five minutes later the well-dressed French guest excited the front of the B&B.
