Chapter 5

  NIKITA

"Well done Nikita welcome to the crib"

"Help Trevor, Tammy?, I need help"

"It's not so bad stop acting up"

"Are you both sick?, I murdered a man"

"He deserved it he was being a prick to you, common we need to get out of here"

"I can't, I killed him someone call the meds I might be able to save him"

"You need to move but just to sort your confused thoughts"

Tammy walks towards Emilio laying in the floor wide-eyed, bloodstains all over the floor, she feels his pulse for a while turning to me she smiles,

"He's alive?"

"No he's dead"

I Move completely away from the body, pulling my body you from the floor to a standing position,

"I did this, I killed him!!"

"Common Nikita, we need to move quick now"

"I can't run, they'll fine me and kill me, I'll be dead anyway I killed Emilio"

"No one is going to lay a finger on you but first we need to get out of their soil to assure your safety ,come along"

Grabbing the jacket I dash out running along with Tammy, looking back I see Trevor still in the room accessing Emilio's dea body, picking up the gun and strutting out calmly like nothing happened,

"Not there tammy ,there another door follow me "

Running through the back door I meet couple of my colleagues smoking out back trying to pass the cigarette to me,I shove them aside trying to act all normal, 

   Finally out of the club a van is parked out,Tammy motions for me to move in and Trevor follows behind.

"Your passport?"

"It's in here,"

"Can I have it?"

"Yes, here it is"

"We need to get to the airport real quick, he'll be found in the next 3 to 4 minutes at most and everybordwr would be locked down luckily we had these passports prepared before hand and we have an expert driver"

"I killed him Tammy, It was All ij a blur I didn't mean to he wouldn't let me go, I tried kicking him off he didn't let go I had no choice it happened real fast I didn't see a thing I pulled the trigger it was a mistake"

"Stop and calm down Nikita!!, Geez!!, I didn't pin the blame on you did I?"

"Let's get to the airport before making any complaints and apologies here"

"They'll find me"

"They will but won't be able to do anything once we are out of here"

The can pulls over and Trevor is the first to highlight, he motions to wait first for him to survey around a little,seconds after he waves for us to get down from the van, we walk hastily but not suspiciously into the airport and towrds the counter, displaying our passports and checked in,

"Almost safe, you guys should check into your seats I need to grab a drink and make a quick call"

"Be back Trevor anything goes wrong out there and it's in you I wull leave with or without you"

"Yes boss, Nikita stick to Tammy always"

I watch him walk away from us, why does this feel like some kind of goodbye?, Checking in and going through the scanning machine I take a seat right beside Tammy,

 She places her hand on my lap wanting to reassure me,I look up to her with eatery eyes,

"What did I do?, What will I do Tammy, I'll be found and killed"

"Will you quit being loud?, And stop being paranoid once we are out of Ireland he can't lay a finger on you, his authority stops at the border I hope we get out if here real quick"

"The feds, they find my traces all over, I'll be wanted everywhere in the world"

"We've got that covered"

"Why are you helping me?, I thought you guys left already"

"I'm not helping you don't make mistakes here, I'm a soldier and I follow orders the initial plan was for you to come to us but we got orders to bring you along at all cost"

"You guys planned this?"

"Yes we did, but without you in the whole setup"

"What does that mean?"

"I and Trevor met couple of years before, we were both recruited just like you were, but two weeks ago I got a call to come go a mission, my boss wants Emilio dead"

"Why?"

"He's been doing business across his border and it's affecting my boss's sales, turns out he wasn't inky laundering drugs he was also laundering dirty money, taking couple cuts out of my boss's pay and all, I was sent to kill him"

"And Trevor?"

"He got the order from his boss also"

"You guys don't work together?"

"Nope,each city has it's godfather, there's always a mafia in charge"

"Mafia!!!, You don't mean those cold blooded beings"

"Yup, stay in your lane and nothing goes wrong"

"Sorry guys I had to ditch the gun somewhere real quick, Emilio's men are here"

"Did anyone see you"

"I think one did, maybe but he can't get in,planes about to move , Nikita get some rest"

"He's right, you need to sleep a little after going through that ordeal"

"I don't think I can"

"You can, you need to be in your best stance by morning tiid meet with the boss"

"Thanks Tammy, you too trevor"

Closing my eyelids gradually, I feel a lot of weight being lifted off my shoulders finally I get the opportunity to beging life afresh I would make the best of it.

   ******************************

"Come on it's time"

Stretching a little I look around to find this place really unfamiliar, it comes back to me slowly the happenings and events of the previous night,

"Come on out Nikita, we would be late and she doesn't like lateness"

"I'm sorry"

Walking out from the cabin and going through the checkpoint I look around to realize I don't know what country I'm in, I just walked in with a passport and didn't bother to check,

"Trevor,"

"Yap?"

"Where is this?"

"Paris"

"Paris!!!, But!!!, I!!!, It's!!!"

"Dint choke in your words darling, it's hard to beleive but stick with the rules and yid make just the right amount of money"

"Can I at least get to call Brenda, she'll be worried sick about me you took my phone before getting on plane"

"Oh about that I'd get you a new one whenever I get the chance and about calling Brenda wait up"

She reaches for her bag and types some sort of things on her phone, she turns it to me for me to see, alarmed and confused I stare at the screen looking away and back at it,

"Nikita Thompson dead!!, I'm not who write this headline what's up with this rotreb news"

"It isn't, read on"

I read through the article carefully auprised at the turns and twist by the reporter which none of it happens to be real, apparently I've been a mistress to Emilio we got into a fight and I had to run for my life thereby renting a shabby cottage downtiwn wguch truely is my home, I agreed to meet up with Emilio at a club and ended up killing him, no one heared gunshots which makes them question how I got the dangerous weapon, it lead to investigation and Emilio was discovered to be a narcos , drug dealer, I on the run couldn't go futher and ended up comitting suicide by burning up myself along with my car,the only identification was my phone and keys left at the scene.

"This bloody liars"

"I paid them for that"

"What does that mean?"

"I had to make a civeruo real quick making you look dead, that way you'd take up a new identity here easily"

"Thanks Trevor"

"That's my parting gift"

"Are you stopping by somewhere?"

"No, my work hers is done I have couple if other things to do before going back home, well then that means goodbye right"

"Thanks Trevor"

"It's not a big deal Nikita, I just hope you make the right choices this time and make the nest of your opportunities"

"I will"

"Bye Trevor"

"I'll miss you Tammy"

He waces us off disappearing into a taxi, I feel a part of me taken away I'll miss him that's guaranteed.

"He needs to go, don't sweat it you'd find some more"

"Will you also leave?"

"At some point I might, but we need to get you to a totally safe place, follow me"

She hails a cab sitting behind as I do the same, the rest of the journey is silent as I mentally make a short note if making a really great first impression.."

***********

"She's in"

" I'm not sure she'd want me"

"She assigned us to recruit you herself ,just answer her questions real quick and nod slightly even when you don't know what it means or what to say"

"I'm nervous Tammy"

"You should be, I've never seen her waiting up for someone you are the first you must make a great impression"

Walking away from Tammy towards the door I halt by the door taking a last glance at Tammy, she cheers me up with a slight nid and smile,the door opens slowly at first as I take slow steps in, I see a woman in her mid fourties raising the bridgebif her pointed nose she doesn't look in my way which makes me develop cold feets almost immediately, she drops a file by her side smiling widely at me,

"Welcome home daughter"
