>Two days had passed; two days since Elena had found
>out the truth about her father and Michael. Two days
>had passed since she'd left her room. She refused to
>speak with anyone, not Nikita, not Walter, not Alex,
>who had no clue what was going on, and Nikita and
>Michael began to get seriously worried. Madeline
>really had chosen the worst time possible because the
>evaluation was near. All four years, Section One was
>evaluated, beginning with Operations and Nikita,
>because they were married. It was the second time
>since they took over Section and if George wasn't

>Michael's face darkened as he read the intel Birkoff
>had provided him with. First the evaluation: he and
>Nikita would be gone for several days and second, and
>impending abeyance mission that would take place
>during their absence. It was a dangerous mission with
>no chance of survival; the base was heavily guarded;
>it would take at least ten operatives to accomplish

>building would blow up automatically. Damn.
>He didn't like this at all.
>Michael had a bad feeling about leaving Elena alone
>under Madeline's reign. So far, the other woman had
>done nothing than to wreak havoc in Elena's already
>fragile psyche and he wasn't sure what she planned
>next. It was time to take Madeline out of the equation
>permanently.
>He sighed and began to prepare his leave.

>Nikita paced in her office, waiting for Michael so
>they could leave. She was impatient and nervous, not
>having slept the last nights and still concerned about
>Elena- and Madeline. The older woman had chosen the
>worst time possible to drop her little bombshell and
>Nikita wondered what she was up to. Madeline did
>nothing without a plan. And Elena...
>She sighed deeply and sat down, only to stand up a
>moment later and resume pacing. She glanced out of her
>window, closing the blinds and checking her bag for
>the fifth time.

>She hated those evaluations- she'd lived through one
>and in her opinion, once was more than enough. But
>George insisted on them after the incident with Paul-
>understandably so. But still...
>Nikita had a bad feeling about this, a nagging little
>feeling that told her something wasn't right- her
>instinct. Michael didn't believe in instinct, but she
>did. With one last glance around her office she slung
>her bag over her shoulder and headed for Birkoff's
>workstation.

>"Please, come in." Madeline sounded amiably but there
>was an underlying threat in her tone, leaving Elena no
>doubt what could happen if she refused to do so. She
>sat down without an invitation, not really caring
>about the other woman's power over her.
>
>Madeline's face remained unreadable but she sighed
>inwardly. Elena was merely a shadow of her former
>self. The hair open and uncombed, the face red and
>swollen from tears, the eyes huge and empty.
>"We understand that you had some... difficult issues
>to deal with, Elena. However, we can't accept that you
>defy direct orders and lock yourself in your room.
>Operations may tolerate this; I don't. You're a
>Section operative; we expect that you can deal with
>the personal matters concerning Michael and your
>marriage."
>
>Elena winced slightly but showed otherwise no
>reaction. It didn't matter anymore. Currently she felt
>like she wanted to die; that was the easiest was out.
>Perhaps Madeline would cancel her; it seemed like
>mercy. She was in Section; she'd lost all, even her
>freedom. If she couldn't even have that, Elena saw no
>reason to live anymore. She shrugged. "Whatever."
>
>Madeline nodded, seeing Elena's reaction and knowing
>her thoughts. "As I said, we're pleased with your
>progress... and due to our lack of operatives you're
>required for a mission next week."
>"What?" that got her full attention. A mission, that
>was impossible; she wasn't ready with only six months
>of training. "But... but I'm not ready and..." Elena
>stuttered nervously.
>"You meet the requirements for this specific mission.
>Certain aspects of your training are already finished;
>I'm sure you'll do fine. The briefing is scheduled for
>tomorrow, 10 am. I expect you to put your emotions
>aside and be prepared. Failure is not an option."
>Still speechless, Elena understood the dismissal and
>left hurriedly the room, eager to escape Madeline.
>
>She smiled, just a little bit. Another part working.
>She looked at the screen, putting up Elena's file and
>updating it. She quickly scanned through the pages.
>Yes, all was as it should be... including the newest,
>encrypted part:
>
>Abeyance list- Termination number one.
