Alright, some people asked me what happened to Madeline. Here's the answer and although I'm not completely satisfied with it, I hope you'll enjoy it. Does it suck? Rock? C'mon, tell me!!
Mirage - 22
The door opened quietly and Madeline was surprised to see both Michael and Nikita standing in the doorway; of course she didn't show her surprise. "Come in," she invited the couple. Then she waited for them to say something; when they were silent, she looked up.
"Is there anything particular thing you need? The report about the week you were absent is almost finished; you'll have it in another hour."
"I have a question," Nikita said. "Do you really think you could get away with this?"
Madeline didn't even pretend not to know what the other woman was talking about. She regarded her calmly. "It was a necessary step; she was a liability and I think you know that. You both were too emotionally attached to Elena to evaluate her properly; it was my duty to ensure that she didn't interfere with our job."
Michael's eyes bored into hers, making her feel uncomfortable. If looks could kill...
"Was it you duty or your wish for revenge? You wanted to cancel her from the beginning; it was you plan and our evaluation a lucky opportunity, wasn't it?"
Madeline's smile was frosty. "Perhaps. But you can't prove it, Michael, so I suggest we move on to more important matters."
"Yes," he whispered, "more important matters." He took out a disk from his pocket. "Do you recognize this? It belongs to you. A disk containing all your contacts to Black Wing... and the order you gave the surveillance team watching Elena. All on one disk, I almost thought you wanted to be found."
She stared at the silvery disk.
"You wonder where I got this? George was helpful after he could witness some of the things you did to Adrian." She paled and looked at him, mutely.
Michael leaned against the wall. "Was it worth it? Was your revenge for Paul more important than your own life? Was he worth it?" He took Nikita's hand and the door opened.
"I hope it was. To know that you failed completely in all your tasks must be a hard burden for you. Although I don't think you have to carry it much longer."
He looked back at her, he and Nikita, they seemed almost... pitiful as the security team entered. Madeline had little doubt what her destination would be.
"Good bye, Madeline."
