Chapter 2 (A semi-Serious Chapter, where Nikita gets a sandwich)

Hours after Nikita laid her head down on the egg carton that was deemed a pillow by some accounting weenie; she managed to drift to sleep. Seemingly seconds later, she was awakened by the smell of freshly cooked bacon, eggs, and biscuits.

Her first thought was, "I'm going to cancel whoever woke me up."

The wonderful scent of a caf� au lait wafted towards her and soothed her sleep deprived mind. Grabbing the steaming mug from her visitor's hand, Nikita took a deep draught and sighed. "Okay, Walter. I'm alive. Where's that sandwich? I'm starved!"

A lean hand passed a plate containing a buttery croissant loaded with eggs, bacon and cheese. "Thank God cholesterol is not my number one concern! Hey, this gives me an idea � why don't you give this to Operations? He'll have a heart attack and die on the spot!"

Upon further reflection, she lifted the sandwich and took a large bite. "On second thought, I don't want him dead. Mr. Jones is already trying to make me take the perch. If Operations dies, it will only be worse."

She realized Walter hadn't said a word since the door opened, a noteworthy event in itself.

She then realized she hadn't looked at his face.

She then realized the hand that presented her with 150 grams of fat wasn't liver spotted in the slightest.

She THEN realized she should be looking up right about now.

"Hello, Nikita."
