Michael opened the door to her apartment.

"Nikita?" He searched the whole place but could not find her. "My god please where are you?"

His love and his baby were nowhere to be found. Michael sat on her couch and cried. He would wait for her as long as he could. She had to return, she loved him and would not do this without a good reason, he hoped.

--------------------------------------------------

Three weeks passed and all Michael left the apartment for was to check on Adam discreetly. Elena had a mission so she was not around to threaten Michael.

Every thime that Michael saw Adam, he felt the urge to just go up and scoop him up. But Nikita's image always popped in his mind and he would not give up on her.

He had had it. He went to Mr. Jones for answers and would choke them out of him if he had too.

Nobody would keep him from finding the baby and Nikita.

----------------------------------------------------

Elena looked at the will in her hand and held a pen She kissed it and said," The key to Michael's undoing. Our son is the most sought out successor to my father in the terrorist community."

Mr. Jones was sittng at his piano when he heard his door bust open.

He turned around to see Michael walk in with a very angered face.

"Michael, how lovely to see you? I hope you didnt kill anymore of my guards."

Michael pulled out his gun and held it to Mr. Jones' head."Where is Nikita?"

"Nikita? Michael that is your problem if she doesnt tell you where she is going."

Michael clicked the gun back and Jones was trembling."Let me make this clear. Nothing and no one is going to keep me from Nikita and the baby. Not even you. Now tell me where she is."

"Alright, Michael put the gun down and we will chat."

Michael sensed he would not get anywhere by keeping a gun in his face so he put it behind his jacket and sat down.

"Alright Michael thats better. Let me make this clear. I will protect Nikita from being hurt again."

"Again? Why did she leave?" Michael was confused. He was yearning to hear the answer.

"God, Michael. How could you have not figured this out? Nikita left because she knew you were going to choose Elena over her. She needs mental stability right now for the rest of the pregnancy."

"What? How did she get the idea that I was choosing Elena?"

"Michael we saw you two kissing on the balcony of the hospital. I thought you had nore class than to do it than when Nikita was in the hospital."

Michael stood up and paced around and ripped his hair with his hands. "My God' I need to find her. Tell me where she is."

"Im sorry Michael. I will protect her and the baby. She means the world to me."

Michael came over and jacked him against the wall. "Jones you have been toying with my life and Nikitas because this is a game to you. You are partly responsible."

Jones looked at his with shocked eyes.

"Trust me I know alot about you. Tell me where she is."

Jones just stared at him and said,"No I wont let you ruin her life like you did Elena's."

Michael punched his in the ribs. "Nikita and the baby are mine. They dont belong to you or Center for you to use. Where are they?"

Jones paused for a second to regain his breath."Alright, she is in Monaco."

Michael let him go but socked him once more in the ribs. "Thats for messing with my family."

Michael was going to go to Monaco but he had to pick up a special gift for Nikita.

-------------------------------------------------

Elena was typing on her computer when she began to think about the will in her bag.

She would get Michael back with this. He would not be able to deny his sons life.

All of a sudden she heard screams and she ran into the linving room of the hotel suite to find the door wide open and Safie on the ground with a gun shot to her arm.

"Adam!" Elena called and searched everywhere but he was nowhere to be found.

"Safie what happened?" Elena was screaming.

"Three men came in out of nowhere and grabbed Adam. One shot me. Oww it hurts."

"Keep going Safie."

"They ran out. They have Adam. Im sorry."

Elena paced back and forth. She stumbled upon a note.

WE HAVE YOUR SON. WE WILL CALL WITH INFORMATION. DO NOT INVOLVE CENTER.

Elena fell to the floor and screamed.

-------------------------------------------------

Nikita was planting flowers in a tank top and a pair of short talls.

She liked living by the beach. She missed home though and she missed Michael. She always wondered what he was doing and where he was.

She was starting to get hungry and went inside.

She was a little over six months and the baby moved alot. She was finding it hard to move around.

She was in the refrigerator when she heard his voice.

"Nikita."

She stood up but kept her back to him. "Michael please go. I beg you to go."

He began to walk to her slowly. "I am not leaving you again."

She took her gun out of her drawer and faced his with tears in her eyes.

"Please go home to your wife and son."

"I am home with them but its my daughter actually."

He reached her and took the gun out of her hand.

She melted at his touch. He got closer and looked down to her lips and then into her eyes with intensity.

He leaned down and kissed them lightly. She kissed back but then pulled away.

"No Michael, I wont do this."

"I love you, Nikita and our baby."

She turned to him and cried,"Michael if you cared for us at all. Then you will let us be happy and alone. I will continue to run from you. Stop coming to find us."

He looked at her with serious but loving eyes."Nikita you may be able to keep me from you but you cant take the baby away."

"Its my baby Michael, let it be."

"Its mine too Nikta and I will not lose her."

"Michael why are you here? Go back to Elena."

He came up to her and backed her to the couch to sit down and he also joined her.

"I choose you, I know what you thought you saw that day but let me tell you what happened. Please listen."

She saw that he was truthful so she agreed.

------------------------------------------------

Elena had received a phone call about where to meet her sons kidnapper.

She drove to an abandoned ware house. She looked around inside and it was very dark.

She followed the instructions to the dot and would not do anyting to risk Adam's life.

She stood in the middle of the dark room. She heard a match light up and turned around to see a man smoking a cigar.

He had bright blue eyes and whitish hair with a little black in it.

She recognized him but could not remember.

"Hello Elena, please sit down."

She knew the voice. It was Paul of Section One. Or Operations.

"Lets chat about the boy shall we?"

Nikita sat there and held Michael's hands as he finished his story and she believed in him because she knew how malicious Elena could be. She also told Michael that she would help him protect Adam if needed.

He held onto her not wanting to let go. "Nikita, I love you and I dont want to lose you again. My heart beats only when I have your love."

"Oh Michael dont go all poetic on me." She was tearing up though because he was so open with her.

He leaned back and kissed her forehead and then sat back on the couch.

"Nikita, I have a favor to ask?"

"Whats that?" She looked at him and rubbed the side of his face with her fingers.

He got down on one knee and held her her left hand.

"Oh my Michael." She was nervous. She never dreamed that he would want to marry again.

"I didnt prepare a speech for you but this comes from my heart."

She took a deep breath and tried to keep from crying as he looked straight into her eyes with his intense green eyes.

"I have loved you from the first day I met you. I know that over the years we have had many trials and hard times that threatened us but together our love survived them. I have loved before but not the way I feel about you. You are my other half. Without you I cannot go on."

She was starting to cry. He put his hands to her face and dried her tears.

"Im not done yet." She laughed at his humor.

"I want us to take our love before God and make it a blessed love. God has given us each other and our baby. I want to have many babies with you and love them all. I love you and I am not asking you to be my wife but begging you to be. Marry me, Nikita."

She did not know what to say. She was so full of happiness beyond words. She never thought that her and Michael would ever be husband and wife. Plus, he would belong to her. Not bad.

She told her mind not to joke at a time like this and she leaned to him and kissed him passionately.

He talked through the kisses. "I.., take that.. as a ..... yes."

"Yes!"

They leaned back on the couch and kissed all over each other Elena sat down but inside she was so full of fear. She knew this man by his reputation and knew that he had alot of power and he was ruthless.

"Mrs. Samuelle, I am sure by now that you know who I am. I am sorry to put you through such an inconvience but..."

"Inconvience! You kidnapped my son. Where is he? I want to see him. Please."

"Elena, please have patience. I am not doing this to hurt you. I am looking for your husband. He is the one I want to deal with. You see I have a little trade to make with him and Adam is a part of the package. I still need the other half."

"What other half?" She was afraid of what he would ask for.

"That is where you come in. I need your help in getting what I need."

"I will not do anything to hurt Michael!" She spit in his face and was angry.

He flipped on a screen to show her shon playing in a locked room. She went up to the screen and touched it.

"As you can see he is fine right now. Perfectly alright. If you want him to stay that way then do as I say."

She looked at Operations then back with her son. What choice did she have? She had to do what he asked.

-------------------------------------------------

Michael and Nikita sat up from kissing for the last twenty minutes.

"Gosh I havent made out like that since high school."

Michael looked at her with soft loving eyes and rubbed the back of her neck. He leand his head and started to kiss her neck.

"I think Mommy needs a shower."

Nikita closed her eyes at the feel of his lips on her skin. "I love the sound of that. Mommy. Something I never thought I would be. But you are right. Ill take a shower."

He grabbed her back down when she stood up."No the three of us will need to be clean and thats Daddy's job."

Michael and Nikita stood up together and Michael took her by the hand and led her upstairs.

When they reached the shower Michael turned her chin up to his face and kissed the tip of her nose.

He unbuckled her shortalls and let them fall to the ground.

"Nikita, you arent wearing underwear," he said as he nibbled her ear. He rubbed his hands all over her swolen belly.

"Michael you dont have to do this. I know you love me."

He got down on his knees and licked her naval area then looked up at her.

"I take care of my women."

He removed her tank top and kissed the tips of her breasts. He leaned back and wnet to the shower and turned on the water.

He turned around and just stood and stared at her. She was beautiful, gracious and carrying their child. What else could he ask for?

He went back over to her. She put her hands to his belt area and untucked his shirt. She leaned in and kissed nis bottom lip and sucked on his bottom lip. She reomved his shirt and ran her hands up and down his chest.

She knew every part of him. He removed his pants then out his hands on her back and pulled her close to him.

He led her to the shower and pulled her hair out of her ponytail. He put her in the shower first.

She closed her eyes and loved the warm water hitting her skin. Michael came and held her from behind. He placed his hands on her abdomen and she joined hers with his.

He kissed the back of her neck and her shoulders. She held his hands tightly and closed her eyes and took in the sensation of having his lips and the water all over her.

He turned her around and placed his hands on each side of her head. He kissed each eyelid and kissed down the side of her face.

He reacked her neck and nibbled in her sensitive spot.

She placed her hands in his hair and moaned.

He kissed and lick the outline of her collarbone. He backed her against the cold tiles.

She was too occupied to notice how cold they were.

He went to her first breast and flicked it with his tongue. He took the whole breast it and sucked on it lightly. He played with the other one with his hand.

He started to suck harder and she kept her hands on his shoulders. He moved to its twin and appiled the same treatment. He moved down to her belly button and licked her stomach.

He moved all over her swollen abdomen and whispered in French to his daughter inside. He moved down past her curls and lightly blew on her treasure.

She shuddered at the feel of him. He lightly began to kiss all around her. She felt his tongue lightly go inside of her and she put her hands in his hair.

He went inside of her again and licked around her walls. he loved the scent and the taste of her. He was going to make her his once again.

He held her hands with his at her hips. He was licking harder inside with his tongue and hitting her sensitive spot.

She loved the feeling of him exploring her most secret parts.

He darted his tongue in and out forcefully and hit her walls roughly. It didnt take him long to get her to come for him.

She started to come and he stood up and held onto her.

She stood for a few minutes limp in his arms. She brought her head up from his shoulders and said my turn.

He looked at her with wanting eyes. She kissed at his neck and moved down to his naval. The closer she moved down the more heavier he was breathing.

She was kissing up and down his chest when her one hand slowly massaged his manhood. He was already hard form her touching hip but she kissed down passed his torso and placed a light kiss on the tip of his head.

He leaned his head back as she placed light kisses all up and down. She then lightly sucked the tip and slowly moved it more into her mouth.

She sucked a little harder the farther she went down.

He wanted to be inside of her. She sucked on him hard and took him in. He could not take this treatment.

He pulled her up to her up to him. She looked sad because she had not finished. He led her out of the shower and laid her down on the bathroom carpet. He could not make it to the bed.

He leaned on her but stayed on his knees so as to not hurt the baby. He looked at her as he placed his hardened tip by her opening. He pushed a finger inside and felt she was ready.

"Michael please."

He nudged her a bit then slowly entered her. He kissed her lips and move his tongue all around her mouth and inched himself all the way in.

She moaned at the feeling of their reconnection. He sat her up with him so she was on his legs. As they adjusted to sitting up together. He moved inside of her in and out at a slow pace.

She held her hands aroind his neck and they looked from each other down to their connection.

He moved at a faster pace and kissed her lips more the harder he moved.

She leaned back. "Michael!"

He placed his hands on her hips and buried his face into her shoulder. He moved with a faster and harder pace now.

He would move almost all the way out of her then plunge back in. Then he would rotate around in her in circles.

He loved being inside of this angel God had sent.

She leaned back and moved with his hips. She held his buttox to get deeper. He was delivering hard blows to her walls.

He leaned back and focused on her eyes.

"Come with me My Kita."

He pushed harder. He pulled all the way out and gave three hard pushes to her walls and she came with him.

His hot fluid poured into her and together their love exploded. He laid down on his back with her on top and cuddled each other and fell asleep after their exhausting shower.

-------------------------------------------------

Mr. Jones heard his door open and he looked up to see Elena walk in.

"Yes, Elena. I bet I know why you are here. Just dont shoot alright."

She looked at him with scared eyes.

"Are you alright? God what has Michael done now?"

"Nothing," she whispered. She was so fuul of anxiety that she had trouble talking. "Do you know where he is? Is important that I talk to him?"

"Sorry. I cant reveal his location. He is doing something very important. Is there anything tht I can do?"

"No I need Michael. Do you know how I can reach him? Please its about Adam."

Jones stood up and came over to her. "Is he ok?"

She tried to keep her straight face. "Oh yea. Hes great, I just need Michael. Not to take him for Nikita. We need to talk."

He saw that she was scared and hiding a secret but he gave her the number but told her to call in a few hours.

"Thank you." She kissed his cheek and left.

Jones was not convinced and was worried. "Monique, I want you to find out what is going on with Elena. Have her followed and update me on the boy."

"Yes sir."

He could feel it. Something was not right.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikita and Michael laid in bed as the morning sunlight begn to seep inside of the windows.

Michael was awake and Nikita was in his arms and sleeping on his shoulder. He kissed the top of her head.

He was so grateful for this wonderful gift. He had the woman he loved wrapped around him. He had a child on the way. Life was complete.

She woke up and looked up at him.

"Good morning," He said softly and kissed her eyebrow.

"MMM...most definetely good morning. I had a great night."

She was taking about last night after their shower. They had made love twice before falling asleep and it was a fulfilling night.

"I love you." She said it with honesty and love.

He kissed her lips and she kissed him back. She felt his tongue go into her mouth and something hard slide in her mouth. She backed away from him and took it out of her mouth.

She pulled out a diamond ring and cried at the site of the beautiful ring.

"Nikita, I forgot to give this to you when I asked . I was a bit occupied."

"Nikita, be mine."

She kissed him back and he placed the ring on her finger.

"Its so beautiful."

He looked into her eyes and held her chin inhis hand. "Not as beautiful as my baby's mother."

He slipped his tongue into her mouth and explored her.

"Oh my." She removed her hands from his face and placed them on her belly.

"What? Are you ok?" Michael panicked a bit.

She laughed and siad,"Your daughter is kicking up a storm."

Michael placed his hands under Nikita and felt his baby move. "Wow, thats amazing."

He teared up a bit. He still could not believe that this baby was a reality.

"She must be thanking you for last night."

He looked into her eyes and kissed her lips sofly as they continued to feel their moving baby.

"Well she kicks like Daddy."

He leaned down to the baby and kissed her belly.

Nikita and he stayed like that for a few moments when...

RING RING

"Whats that?" Michael and Nikita were both shocked to hear the phone.

"It must be Jones. He wouldnt call if it wasnt necessary."

She got up but Michael pulled her down to him and kissed her lips passionately.

She got up. "Playtime later."

He rubbed his hands up and down her thighs. "You have got five minutes."

She let go of him and answered the phone.

"Yes?"

"Nikita, its Elena."

Nikita paused for a moment because she was shocked. "What do you want?"

" I need to speak with Michael."

Nikita got angry. "He is not up for your games anymore, Elena."

Elena screamed. "Please Nikita. Its about Adam."

Nikita paused again and said, "Alright."

"Michael"

He came out of the room and took the ohone from Nikita. He saw that she was worried.

"Yes."

"Michael its Elena. I need you. Adam has been taken."

Michael needed to hear her again because her words stabbed hsi heart.

"What?"

"Hes gone Michael. I cant talk over the phone. Please come back." She cried and hung up the phone.

"ELENA!" He screamed and threw the phone.

Nikita backed away. She had never seen him angry like this.

He walked over to her and apologized. "We have to go. Adam is gone."

"Oh my god."

"We have to go." He immediately went into her room and started packing things for her.

"Michael why dont I stay? I will be less of a worry."

He walked over to her and held her tight. "I am not going to leave you again. Please I need you."

Nikita did not ask questions. They packed quickly and loaded up the boat.

The only thing he said was. "He has to be ok."

Michael and Nikita arrived at the hotel in town.

"Michael please let me help you." She was saying as they opened the door into the room.

Michael had a hard time hearing her because he was so full of worry and fear. He just heard her voice and that was it.

She walked over to him and made him sit on the bed. She hugged him as he cried in her arms. She felt his tears on her shoulders.

"Michael, please let me come with you."

He lifted his head and looked at her. "I would take you with me but I cant risk both of my children's lives."

She knew that he was right but she did not get why they were at a hotel.

"Why are we here? We should have gone to my apartment."

"Because I dont know if the person who took my son is one of my enemies. I dont want to take any chances with you. I have to go."

He got up and kissed her lips once and kissed her stomach and kept his hand there for a moment.

He turned away from her and started to walk.

"Michael, wait."

He turned around to find her running into his arms. "Please be careful. Come back to me. Remember that we need you too."

He hugged her and realized that there was a possiblity he could be hurt.

"I promise I will do everything to come back to you."

He lifted her head and kissed her forhead.

"Just remember that I love you and our baby. Call me if you need me."

She looked into his distraught eyes then down to his lips. She kissed him hard and with love and he responded.

She pulled back and rubbed his chin. "Go find your son."

With one last kiss, he left to seek out the individual who took his son.

------------------------------------------------

"Wheres my mommy? I want her." Adam cried as he looked up at the old man with big icy eyes.

"Adam. She will be here soon. Then you can go home."

"Why did she leave me here with you? I dont know you." He was a little scared but had no idea what was going on. "I dont want to see those bad men who took me again."

"Dont worry boy you wont. Here is dinner."

"Thanks uh what do I call you?"

Operations looked down at the small boy. "Mr. Wolfe is fine."

Operations left the room and picked up his phone.

"Update me."

The voice on the other end was a young mans voice.

"Michael has arrived in town Sir."

"Good, where is he now?"

"On his way to meet Elena."

"Excellent, prepare the team to retrive our next guest."

"Yes Sir."

He clicked his phone down and said to himself,"Well Michael with what I have planned for you, you wont be able to say no to me."

-------------------------------------------------

Elena waited patiently on the park bench but was dreading each minute he was taking to come. She was sorry for everything that she had done. She could not live without her son.

"Elena." She turned around to see Michael in a somber mood. He had those sad, glazed over eyes she knew too well.

She went up to him and hugged him.

"Thank god you came. Adam needs us."

Michael pulled the emotional Elena out of his embrace.

"Tell me what happened. We have no time to lose."

She calmed herself down and they both sat and held each others hands but not to be romantic.

"Ok..." she took a deep breath and focused on Michael.

"We were in the hotel suite. I was typing in the bedroom. Adam and Safie were playing on the livingroom. I heard gunshots and screaming. I ran out to find... Safie shot and Adam.. oh god.. he was gone."

She cried in his shoulder because the event still hurt her like a knife tearing at her skin.

He made her look up. "You have to finish. Adam needs us."

She stopped crying. "I waited and searched everywhere. I got a phone call saying that if I ever want to see him again, I have to find you. They want you and me to come to this place."

She showed him the peace of paper with the location.

"So you did not see the man or woman who took him."

The image of Operations passed her mind and she remembered what he said to her.

"No I did not see him."

He looked at her then down at the ground. "Ok I should just go."

"No I am coming. I need to bet there."

He looked at his sons mother and realized that he could not force her to stay behind.

"Ok." He huuged her tightly. "we can do this. I will do anything to save him. weshould get help."

She pulled back and panicked."No, if we do they will kill him."

Michael was not going to risk it. She was right. His sons life depended on the choices he made.

"Lets go."

She got up and both walked towards the car. "Wheres Nikita?"

He had forgotten about her when Elena asked. "Shes safe."

"Michael tell me where she is if something happens. I promise I will protect her."

Michael opened the car door and let her in. She was right, if Michael got hurt Nikita would need to know."She is at the Ritz Hotel on 4th Street. Promise me that if something happens you will get Adam and her away from here."

She looked at him and promised.

Operations listened to the whole conversation and was pleased.

"Good."

He picked up his phone. "I am sending the location now. Tell the team to be careful and easy. We have the information we need."

"Yes Sir."

Operations sat back and said in his mind,'Michael you will never know what hit you.'

=================================================

Michael and Elena arrived at an old abandoned gym. It was out in the middle of nowhere and from the looks of it, no one had been here in years.

Michael held Elena's hand before they got out of the car."I will do the talking. If anything happens, here are the keys and I want you away from here as fast as you can."

She looked at him fearfully and took the keys into her shaking hands.

Thye both took a deep breath and looked at each other once more. Michael nodded and they opened their doors.

Michael scanned the area and then led Elena to the building.

They slowly and carefully stepped inside. It was a huge area but it was very dusty and very dark.

Inside what used to be a gym were two different rooms right in teh middle. But the rooms were without doors and they were pitch black like Operatios perch type black.

Michael it odd why there would be two glass-like room containers in the middle of this place.

As they went near these strange galss rooms, Michael could not see inside of them but realized that no one must be in there.

All of a sudden, lights went out and men with guns came out and locked the doors and closed of all light except the spotlight on Michael and Elena.

In a computer'like voice."Mice of you to join me Michael, I have been waiting."

Michael looked around to try and find a voice but could not see.

"Who are you? What do you want? Where is my son?"

"Have patience, young man. You always had the quality in tact. I will answer your questions but in time."

"What I want is you Michael. I dont need your wife or whatever you call her. Men take her and put her next to the right glass portal. Tape her mouth and tie her to a chair next to it. She will fit in this presentation."

"No." Michael tried to protect her but the voice just said/

"If you care about your son then play along with me."

Michael let Elena's hand go and she wss tied up next to the right container.

"Now Lets go to business shall we? Sit down my friend. This will be awhile. Remove your gun please."

Michael was brought a chair and gave a gun to the guard. "I want my son."

"Good thats a start. Now to answer your questions."

Michael was inpatient and scared. I want to see if hes alive."

"In time. Now the first question of who am I."

The lights turned on and out stepped a man all to familiar to Michael.

"You?" Michael was shocked.

"Yes me. Hello Michael. It good to see you again."

-------------------------------------------------

Mr. Jones paced around his office. Something was going on and he had to know.

The intel was still coming in but he had a feeling he knew who it was.

After Michael and Nikita had left the Section, Operations was replaced by someone who Mr. Jones was very fond of.

Operations has been trying to retaliate ever since. He had half of Sections' support and with that he started his own anti-Section organization.

He has been trying ever since to take Center.

Jones had a feeling that he had something to do with Michael and his family, excuse me his extended family all missing.

He had to know but hope he had enough time. He knew that Ops would do anything to get Michael to pledge loyalty to him and work for him.

------------------------------------------------

"Why are you doing this? Where is Adam?" Michael was angry and up in Operations face.

"Patience Michael. Sit down. I have a proposal I have been planning for you."

Michael thought if he was going to save Adam he should play the game. he sat down and the guards cuffed his hands to the back of the chair and stood on either side of him.

"Michael, as you may know nor not know, I am not in Section anymore because Center reomoved me and replaced me with someone I have yet to find out who. I have started my own little group and have been preparing ever since." He started to smoke his cigar.

"Preparing for what?" Michael had no idea where he was going with this.

"To take Center and everyone inside. I worked for too many years in Section and I am not going to lose my power to one man."

"What does this have to do with me and my son?"

Operations looked at him with evil eyes. "Oh alot Michael. More than you know. When you left Section, you took a piece of it with you. I know that you worked hard in Section as hard as I did because you believed in it. I want you to join me in taking Center. I will give you the second in command."

He came and leaned over Michael."We will have the world in our hands Michael."

Michael looked straight into his eyes and said."You are sick."

Operations got up and said, "Well Maybe but you will join." He got out like a clicker and pushed the button.

The right container lit up and inside was Adam playing with a bouncy ball.

"Adam." Michael looked at his son and could not keep his eyes off of him.

Adam could not see or hear anyone. He had no idea his father was righyt outside.

Michael and Operations stared at each other. "Let them go. This is between us."

"Michael, Adam plays a key part in our deal. He can be used in two ways. Now will you listen."

Michael spit in his face. "You are crazy to think I will join you and you hold my son over my head."

"Michael, before I go on. I can see that you are impatient. Look up at the top of the container at the vents. Go on look."

Michael looked up and saw them and knew exactly what they were.

"One push of a button and the boy dies of carbon monoxide poison. Id rather not come to that."

Michael kept his eyes on his innocent and then looked to Operations with angry, furious rage.

"Now will you listen."

Michael just stared at him.

"Good, Well as I have said. When I recruit, I get rid of any distractions or worries that the operative may have so that their mind is focused on one task. But with you I will make an exception."

"I have had a mole in Center for some time so I could prepare for this. I will tell you in a minute who that is."

Elena was watching Adam fall asleep and she cried for everything she had done wrong.

"Oh Elena you werent supposed to do that yet. Well Michael as you can see, Elena was my mole."

Michael looked at her with shocked hurt eyes. She looked back and tried to talk but her mouth was tied.

Operations walked back to Michael. "Oh Michael dont get that ides. I threatened to kill Adam if she did not join me. I like her, you have a good taste in most of the women you choose."

Michael looked at Elena and saw her crying. if only he had known but he looked back at Ops.

"Now as I was saying. The exception I would make for you is that you can have your wife and son and live toghether whatever if you join and work. That is a promise. I know how you have wanted you son in your life again."

He pulled Michael's face up. "Now tell me, a life with a wife child house and working for me is grace I am giving."

But Ops face changed to a more evil look.

Michael was ready to agree and escape with Adam but there was something else.

"Michael, i discovered that you had another distraction that would prevent you from your job."

He lit up the other screen.

"No!" Michael was screaming and pulling in his chair.

In the next portal was Nikita, she was strapped to a bed with her stomach exposed and hooked up to some type of machine. She was alive and ok but she was the other key to Operations plan.

Michael was trying as hard as he could to get out of that chair but the guards held him down.

"Nikita, No!" He was traumatized by what he saw. Even Elena was shocked because she had no idea that Operations would go this far.

Nikita was in the container that she could hear them but not see. The voices woke her up and she looked around just to see dark glass.

Michael saw her waking up and started to freak out.

"Put her back to sleep."

The doctor went in and Nikita looked at him.

"Who are you? Wheres Michael? Michael!"

The doctor did not answer her but injected her with a needle and she went back to sleep.

"Nikita!" He called and screamed for her."How can you do this? You are mad."

"No, i do what I have to do to get what and whi I want. Boy Michare, you really are a sperm donor arent you."

"If you hurt Nikita or the baby..."

"Dont worry Michael, nothing has happened to them yet. I would choose Elena because Nikita always corrupted your performance but its your choice."

Michael looked at Nikita's bare swelled abdomen. It had patches with wires all over it.

"What is on the baby?"

"Oh yes," Operations smirked. "Those are there in case you choose your son. The baby would be a factor to deal with so if you dont cooperate, the wires are hooked up to an electric machine which will kill the baby if switched on. Nad maybe the mother too. We are unsure, one of our new machines."

Michael clenched his teeth and his chained fists at him. "You are insane. You bastard. You an have just me. Let them go."

Operations laughed. "Michael I know you would like it to be that easy but its not. You have one choice. Adam or your daughter."

Operations turned on the screen that showed his daughter moving around.

Michael wished at that moment he could die. Operations wanted to turn him into a hostile killer and it was working. Michael could not handle the choice and cried.

"Oh Michael, its not that hard. If I were you I would choose Elena. Blonds are bad luck."

Michael put his head back and closed his eyes. He wanted to die.

-------------------------------------------------

Jones got all of the final intel and knew exactly what was going on.

"Call Section One and inform them to come including the noew Operations."

"Yes Sir."

Nikita and Elena needed him. He knew he did not have much time to get to them.

Paul was going to pay dearly for what he was doing.

"Sir the teams are ready."

He heard her voice over the intercom.

"Move out now."

He said a little prayer that they could get there in time.

-------------------------------------------------

"Well Michael, we will give you one half hour to make your decision. If you dont I will make it for you."

Operations and some of the guards left.

Michael had his eyes on his children. He gave them life and now he was supposed to take it away. He looked at playful Adam playing with his bouncy ball. His hair bouncing everywhere and he was only seven.

He looked up at his unborn daughter.She was moving in circles in Nikita on the screen. She only had 2 and 1/2 months left till he gets to hold her in his arms.

He looked at the woman he loved and the ring, the promise on her finger.

He wanted her and the baby so much. How was he supposed to choose?

He glared at Elena and her constant tears. She was crying for Michael because she had caused half of this?

Nikita woke up and felt groggy. She could see out the window and saw Michael tied up.

She saw Elena and Adam on the right but Adam didnt seem to be aware his parents were there.

"Michael."

He lifted his head up to see her beautiful blue eyes.

"Nikita, are you alright?" He was scared and she saw it.

"I am fine. What is going on?"

Michael explained everything that had happenec and Nikita was crying."What will I do?"

"Just stay calm. I love you. Always remember that."

She stared at him and looked down at her baby."I love you too."

The guards saw them talking and turned Nikita's terminal dark. The guard knew that Ops wanted Nikita dead.

"Nikita, I love you and hold on."

He could hear Ops getting ready to come back and he sat up straight. He was never more afraid in his life.

Meanwhile, Nikita discovered that one of her straps was loose but she had to hurry. She knew that Ops would be back soon.

Footsteps were coming and she got one hand free but the others were very tight.

Michael looked up and saw him enter the door and walk slowly to Michael.

Michael kept his head down. He had such a mental turmoil in his head he didnt know what to say.

Operations stood before him and Michael looked up. "Alright Michael, choose."

-------------------------------------------------

Michael looked at the two darkened rooms. He could and would not choose. He would rather die than kill her family.

"My family is the only thing I will live for. Keep them alive and I will serve." Michael was pleasing with Operations to just let them live.

Operations just looked at Michael."You know Michael, I am going to choose for you. Ever since Nikita came she made you weak but not for long."

"No, leave her." Michael was trying hard to get out of the chair but Operations had one of the guards inject him to sedate him.

"Now, light up the tunnels."

"Wait sir," One of the doctors yelled.

"What is it?" Operations just wanted to get this over with.

"You once told me that Nikita and Michael were excellent operatives. When Michael wakes, tell him we will keep them both alive."

Operations had no idea where he was going with this. "What are you trying to say?"

"We keep Nikita alive long enough to have the bay and then rid of her. That baby has excellent genes that I could use to make clones or work with my experiments."

Operations thought for a moment. "You know you have a point. It would be sad to waist such a perfect blend of genes. Do it."

The doctor told the guards to light up the cells.

Adam was sleeping in his. But when Nikitas was lit up...

"She gone."

Operations turned around to see an empty bed. He punched one of the guards. "How did this happen?"

"Play back the cameras. Go find her now. She cant get far. The place is locked."

Operations paced back and forth and then watched the screen. She had one of her arm straps loose and got out.

This angered Operations and he will find her. She was not going to ruin his plans again.

Michael came out of his sleep to find Operations is a corner and guards running everywhere.

Elena and Adam were asleep. And he looked to Nikita...

He screamed because he could not see her. Her cell was empty. What have they done?

Michael had a rage but was screaming. "Ni--ki--ta!"

Operations heard him and came over. "I will kill you. What have you done to her?"

Operations leaned down to Michael and whispered in his ear. "Nothing yet. She got away."

Michael let out a sigh but was afraid because he could not help her.

In his mind, 'Nikita, stay hidden. I will help you soon

-------------------------------------------------

Nikita had ran to a hidden little space between some walls and was trying to listen to where the soldiers were running. She had to call Jones. She had to save Michael.

She had stolen a cell phone off one of the guards she had hit in the head.

She dialed Jones' number.

"Please answer."

"Hello?" Jones had panic in his voice.

Nikita in a whisper. "I dont have much time. its me, I need your help."

Mr. Jones wiped the sweat on his forehead."Oh thank god Nikita. Are you alright? We are on our way."

"I am fine for now but they might find me. We need help. Get here soon."

"We will be there within the hour. How did you get away?"

Nikita was getting agitated. "I have no time to explain. Get here." She hung up.

She moved to another hidden section in the wall and sat there. She was having some cramps from running. She had to think about the baby too.

She had to work fast. This baby will have her father.

-------------------------------------------------

Jones sat in the limo and was rubbing his hands together. They were so close to getting there but he hoped that Michael, Adam, Elena and Nikita had enough time.

He had all of the sections involved but there was nothing else he could do but wait.

He would never forgive himself if something happened to any of them.

-------------------------------------------------

Operations was tired of waiting and Michael was having anxiety attacks. He kept his eyes on Elena and Adam. He was worried that Operations would take his anger out on them.

Operations picked up a gun.

"Sir where are you going?"

"I am tired of waiting. Send the orders to shoot to kill." He had a firey rage in his eyes.

"No, please. I will help you to find her."

Operations glared at Michael."Im sorry but she has to pay."

Operations left the room and disappeared into the darkness.

Michael was going crazy. He was sol helpless that it killed him. If Operations found her first, she and the baby would not stand a chance.

Michael promised that if they died he would die too.

He prayed that Jones would arrive or all hell would come down.

Nikita was still hiding but she was moving closer to try to get to Michael. There were guards everywhere and she did not take any risky chances. If she kept them looking for her long enough, then they would be okay when Jones got here.

Nikita could hear the men shouting and she knew that they were trying to scare her. She had more cramps now but she could not rest.

She could not live without him but then he would never forgive her if she lost the baby. The baby was his top priority and he would want her to protect it.

But when did she ever listen to Michael?

She heard a footstep really near by and hid back in the dark. She peeked around and saw a hand with a gun. She looked a little more and saw Operations.

She knew that she did not have a chance if he found her hiding. She tried not to make a sound but the baby was kicking up a storm and it hurt a bit.

She watched his eyes search every little part of the area. She closed her eyes and remained quiet.

He continued to look in her area but was going away. Nikita decided to remain where she was till she was sure he was totally gone.

-------------------------------------------------

Michael sat in his chair and he was so full of fear that hne physically hurt. He was worried about the health of Nikita and the baby.

He wanted to get out of the chair and go to get her.

Operations appeared around the corner.

"Kill the boy. I am tired of trying to be nice."

Michael looked as the guard prepared to turn on the gas. "No! No!"

Elena was screaming and crying.

Operations went back to looking. Adam was happily playing with his ball.

The guard turned the switch on and the gas seeped into the hall.

Adam smelled it and covered his nose.

"Adam! Oh god. Stop!"

Michael cried and screamed as he watched his little boy start to cough and tear up.

Elena had fainted from shock. Michael was so helpless. His heart hurt to beat.

SHOT! SHOT! SHOT!

Michael turned to see Centers team and Section 1 arrive.

He screamed at them. "Over here! Please get me out."

One of the operatives came over and cut Michael loose.

Michael took a gun and shot at the glass a few times and shattered it away from his son. He jumped in and picked up Adam's limp body and jumped out. One of the other operatives shut off the gas.

Michael took Adam to a safe place away from the gunfire. These men would not take long to clean out the place so he felt that Nikita would be safe.

Elena was brought away from gunfire to be with Michael and Adam.

This was not the way that they were suppoesed to be reunited.

Michael was giving Adam CPR and pushing on the boy's chest.

Michael was sobbing,"Adam breathe. God Please."

Elena held her sons feet and pleaded with God to spare him.

Adam let out a little cough and Michael pulled him up into his arms and cried for joy.

"Adam. Thank you. I love you. Your safe now."

Elena hugged the both of them. Adam was still unconscious but breathing.

Michael kissed Elena's forehead and both were grateful that Adam was safe.

-------------------------------------------------

The Center operatives went throughout the entire building and wiped out everyone. Nikita could see that it was ok to go see Michael.

-------------------------------------------------

Jones came out and asked if they had Paul yet but everyone was saying that he must have escaped. He walked over to see Adam.

"How is he?"

Elena was holding Adam as Michael stroked his head.

"Hell be alright." Michael still had that worry thought in his eyes."Where is Operations?"

Jones looked disappointed. "We think that he got away."

"Then Nikita and my baby still are not safe. Where is she?"

"She is on her way I believe. She knows that it is safe."

Michael nodded his head. Nobody was safe with Operations running all over the place.

-------------------------------------------------

Nikita waked to the balcony above Michael.

She saw him with Elena and Adam but was not angry but happy that they were all ok.

"Michael?"

He heard his angels voice and looked up. He left Adam for a moment and stood.

"Are you alright?" He was so relieved to physically see her.

She nodded but held her stomach and winced a bit.

His smile faded. "Whats wrong?"

"I have cramps. I need you to help me get down the stairs."

"Just hold on."

Nikita waited patiently and was happy this was all over.

-------------------------------------------------

Operations watched from a high point in the building as all of his dreams went down the tubes.

They would not find him but he would have revenge.

He saw Nikita walking towards where Michael was. She was his ticket out.

-------------------------------------------------

Michael was about to walk up the stairs when he heard Nikita scream.

Everyone looked up to see Operations holding a gun to her head.

"If anyone even moves, shes dead."

Nikita was crying. "Michael."

"Shut up. If anyone tries to follow me she dies. When I get to safety shell be fine."

He really had other plans. He didnt see Michael on the stairs.

Everyone looked up at them and watched him leave into the darkness with her.

Michael started to follow when Jones yelled.

"Michael no."

But he kept going, he was not going to lose her or the baby.

-------------------------------------------------

Michael followed Operations and Nikita very discreetly because he kept looking behind him to see who would follow him.

Nobody but Michael would follow him because everyone knew what he would do to her.

Nikita was struggling but he held her in place.

"If you want to make it out of this alive, then dont fight with me."

He had the gun at her back and told her to walk out a hidden back ddor.

Michael watched him manhandle Nikita. He watched out of the window as they entered an alley and got into a car.

Nikita did not know it but Michael had put a tracker on her when he left her at the hotel.

He was scared because he had no time to lose. Operations was going to take his revenge out on her and Michael had no time to lose.

He quickly ran back to where everyone was.

"Michael, where is she?" Mr. Jones asked in a frantic voice.

"I cant use your help or he will kill her." Michael was preparing guns and loading them up.

"Michael, you bring her back alive. Please let me send one person."

Michael looked at Jones and realized that he cared for Nikita's well-being.

"Fine. But only use him if I need it."

Mr.Jones nodded. "Alright and its a she, the one i am sending. You wont see her till you need her."

"Good." Michael was about to leave.

Jones grabbed his shoulder."Bring her back."

"I will."

Michael walked over to where they were loading Adam into the ambulance.

He kissed his sons forhead and Elena came from behind.

"Be careful Michael."

He gave her a hug."I will come to the hospital when Im done. Take care of him."

"I will."

He kissed his sleeping son once more and then left the building.

Jones left him a motorcycle and he started it and followed his beloved's trail.
