| “Where is she?” Michael demaned in a deadly silent voice. Birkoff froze. He hated that tone. It meant that if anyone crossed or messed with Michael they were looking to live a short life with a long and painful death. “I’m trying to track her now through her inner communique” Birkoff answered typing furiously. Michael circled around the screens as if they were his victims. He was in no mood to even contemplate or tolerate any mistakes from ANYONE! Birkoff glanced at him from the sides of his glasses. ‘This wasn’t looking good at all. Nikita was missing. Michael was deadly. Operations was too calm. Madeline wasn’t even here and Birkoff was caught in between the two top males of Section.’ “Well Birkoff?” Operations asked patiently. Michael glanced at Ops. He was way too calm for the situation. He narrowed his eyes; ‘was it just coincidence that Kita disappeared just as he left Maddy’s office? There were no coincidences in section. Michael couldn’t believe it: Section had kidnapped Kita. Buy why? For what purpose? A mission? No he would have been informed. He was updated on all of Kita’s past and future misisons. What then? He was going to find out.’ “Her communiqe is not working for some reason. It keeps switching itself on and off” Birkoff’s voice trailed through Michael’s mind interrupting his thoughts. “Birkoff I’ll be in my office. Keep me informed” Michael ordered already walking away. Operations looked up quickly narrowing his eyes. ‘What was wrong with Michael? He was acting like he didn’t care that his “girl-friend” was missing.’ Ops smiled secretly to himself: everything was going according to his plan. His plan to ensure that Michael sucessfully succeeded him without the “slut’s” involvement. She had nearly ruined Michael by now but not any more’ Operations reassured himself. “Same here Birkoff. Keep me informed and up to date with current findings.” Ops said as he returned to the skylight office. Madeline was waiting for him. “Why did you not call me for this situation?” she inquired. “You were not needed” he coldly stated. “Like hell I wasn’t!” she hissed. “One of our top ops are missing and I’m not needed? What’s going on Paul?” Madeline demanded. “What the hell are you rambling on about woman?” Operations shouted. “Michael’s our only top op and Nikita is not a huge loss to us!” “Have you seen the numbers lately Paul? Nikita’s are only minor Michael’s and getting better every day! Also, don’t disillusion yourself to think that Michael’s numbers will not swiftly drop if Nikita is not found. She is the only reason that he keeps himself alive in this place” Operations looked furious! “Just what the hell are you implying?” he asked. “Nothing Paul. Just stating the facts.” She paused for effect. “You know where to find me if you need me” Operations listened to the noisy clatter that told him that Madleine was gone finally. ‘Was it true? Would Michael go down without the slut? He was sure that she had slept with half the section yet Michael still wanted her and only her.’ He just couldn’t figure it out. ‘What did ‘she’ have that all the other female ops didn’t?’ He shrugged it off. ‘If Madeline was right, which she almost always was, then he was going to have a problem. He couldn’t keep Nikita hidden forever. Especially with how well they had trained her combined with her connection with Michael. He’d have to get rid of her. And fast!’ |
