Chapter Seven - Evaluation


I did gentle exercises to keep my arm from seizing up, while sat at the computer. I then took some pain killers while Nikita redressed my wound, since we got back she had stitched it up.

"Hey easy. It's still sore." I wince as she catches it at the wrong angle

"Well you will get yourself shot." she finished dressing it . I stuck my young out at her then the computer beeped

-HEY SENSI'S ARE YOU THERE, I HAVE A BIG EVALUATION COMING UP.

-WHAT'S THE EVALUATION

- INTERROGATION A PRISONER DIVISION JUST BROUGHT IN.

-DO WHAT YOU CAN SEND INFO ASAP.

I went to grab some breakfast and when i came back Owen had Nikita binned to the bed i dropped my bowel and ran over to help i brought my foot up and stepped on his jolly Rodgers and grabbed Nikita's hidden knife and stabbed him in the leg. we ran over to the weapons and he threw the knife at us. both of us grabbed a gun.

"Stop it" Nikita ordered calmly

"Do it!"

"Do you know how hard it is to have a conversation with you?" Nikki wondered and i held my gun up as she threw Owen a towel. he put it on his wound.

"Now Cassie is going to throw that bottle of antiseptic and you're not going to do anything stupid, like try to drink it or blind us." i grabbed it and threw the bottle over to him.

"I don't know what else we can do to get you to trust us." i huff

"why don't you let me go?" he offered and I scoffed shaking my head, like that was an option right now.

"So you can kill me again?" Nikita huffed out a breath

"Yeah." he answered

"You think we're responsible for Emily's death" Nikita figured out and I eased a little, feeling sorry for him

"Before you showed up, we were safe." he panted while holding onto his new wound

"You lost control of your mission" i retorted putting my gun down on one of the boxes

"I had a plan a plan to make it right."

"Oh yeah and what was that? To return Percy's black box shake his hand, go grab your girlfriend? He would have killed you on sight." i went and sat at the computer and clicked into my email, seeing i had a notification.

MELISSA: I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT YOU NEED TO STAY AWAY.

ME: DO NOT WORRY, I WILL, WHAT I GAVE YOU IS A TRUST FOR WHEN YOU TURN 18. IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF HELP CALL THAT NUMBER OR E-MAIL, KATHARINE TOLD ME TO KEEP YOU SAFE IF YOU NEEDED.

MELISSA: SHE'S DEAD AND I DO NOT NEED HELP.

ME: NOT NOW BUT EVERYONE DOES. GOODBYE MELISSA.

I turned around and watched as Nikita shot Owen with a dart to knock him out.

"If he didn't just loose his girlfriend i would be knocking him senseless just on principal of his face. Now i'm going to clean this mess up." I say going into to grab some cleaning supplies and cleaning up the broken bowl and food.

-----

I was cleaning my guns when Owen woke up again. He glanced around the room, assessing the situation. Can take the man out of division but you can take division out of the man.

"I'm naked." he commented lifting up the sheet that covered him

"And observant" I mumbled carrying on cleaning my weapons

"Do you have anything to eat?" he grumbled

"Well, I don't have any raw meat to throw at you but i do make a mean veggie shake." Nikita replied, pouring some of it out into a cup.

"You stitch up the wound?"

"Standard field dressing. the real damage won't begin to heal for at least a year. Three years out and you'll still feel her." I put my guns back and grabbed a tennis ball and my mp3 laid on the floor throwing up in the air and catching it while listening to music

"Cassie!" i took out my earphones

"Yeah. computer keep a watch." i nod standing up and putting the ball and the MP3 down and heading to the computer.

ANY WORD ON THE PRISONER? I type, hoping she would be online

"That's the second time i've seen you on that computer" i shut the program down "who you in contact with?"

"I was just searching for black box locations. You can find anything on the Internet you know?" i turn my chair around to face him.

"Even if i was to tell you where it was buried there are six more hard drives secured by guardians just like me." he retorted, he did have a sense of humour bypass. Nikita would have at least smiled at my joke.

"It's okay, we've got a plan" i moved to the chair more closer to him

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah. Phase one, find them. Phase two kick their ass. Phase three veggie shakes. Seems to be working with you. " I chime with a bright smile.

"well it won't work with the others?" he retorted leaning his bed back into the pillow

"Who are the other guardians?" i ask leaning forward a bit.

"I don't know who they are, i don't know what cities they're in. All i know is that Percy hand picked each one of us." he explained and I hummed. Every day was a learning day.

"why did he pick you?" i wondered

"I was a cleaner, i was his favourite cleaner. No questions, I got the job done. I was able to stay detached" he answered and my head tilted slightly and his gaze met mine.

"till you met Emily."

"When Percy moved me to Montreal to guard the box he told me it was the most important assignment of all. What he didn't tell me was how much downtime would be involved. Kind of just crept up on me how much i cared about her. And then it hit me. I started to see people i cared about, their faces. I started see them as somebodies brother or somebody's kid. And now i know how it feels to love someone and have them taken away from you. You have no idea how much you miss them till their gone."

"I've never loved someone that much. So much it hurts and if its like that i might want to die alone."

"it's worth it, to feel love. Be loved in return." he told me

"Ha, i gave up a long time ago that i would find anyone like that." I rolled back to the computer and looked on the news sites. Something I did to pass the time.

"Everyone has someone."

"nah, i'm still that child that believes in love at first sight." I voice not looking back at him, but flicking through news articles.

"Seriously"

"Yep. It's the only childhood innocence i have left. the rest was taken away from me, when i was forced to become a grown up." I stood up, not finding anything and walked over to my bed then listened to my music.

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

My phone started ringing, I grabbed it and flipped it open, answering the call. Only very few had this number so it was defiantly someone I knew.

"Hello" i answered

"It's me" My eyes flicked up recognising Alex's voice.

"Hang on let me get Nikita." i walked into where Nikita and Owen were and gestured for her to follow me.

"what happened. I put her on speaker once we got in the kitchen.

"I was taken by these terrorists. It was the brother of the prisoner I interrogated this morning at Division. I had to kill him to get out of there." she huffed out, clearly rattled by what she had just gone through.

"Slow down. Where are you right now?" Nikita asked her running a hand through her hair.

"gas station off 95." i thought there was something fishy going on

"where were you when they kidnapped you?" I questioned

"we were on a bus, a bus that was taking us to some training ground somewhere." she rushed out

"And the person you questioned this morning he was a terrorist too." i looked at Nikki and nit my lip

"he was apart of the group that took me why? I'm standing in the middle of nowhere, freezing covered in dirt, can we please de brief later." she snapped i ran my hand through my hair, this time.

"When we were recruits we had to interrogate a Chinese secret service agent and a British intelligence officer. Who division had captured. For me in the morning I was in a British prison i was told that i assassinated the prime minister and wanted to know who i worked for . Turns out it was all a test. Division wanted to know how i would react to the situation. " I explained, remembering what had happened to me.

"But i shot someone, does that mean i killed a division agent." she whimpered

"We're going to figure this out."

"what are they going to do to me?" Alex asked, panicked at the possibility of being caught or a failure.

"Listen to me, It's gonna be okay." Nikita tried to assure her

" Just come get me."

"I will be there as soon as i can" Nikita hung up.

"I'll get Alex you stay here with Owen" i nod and she left.

--------

I got out of the shower and walked into the main room where i saw there was no Owen. I went to grab a gun when everything went black.

"Cassie! Cassie!" i groaned and clutched my head.

"Ugh he hit me." I sat up "He fucking hit me. I'm gonna kill him" i growled

"Easy, tiger. He's gone left nothing but a note." Nikki told me

"If i ever seen him again his balls are mine. i'll kick them right back to 1900" I got up and went to get a ice pack on my head.
