>She remembered perfectly the first time she'd been out

>Can I buy something?" She wasn't too sure if she
>wanted to buy anything at all. After all, she'd woken

>days ago she'd been in prison.. it was all so far away
>it seemed almost surreal. But here she stood, nearly
>free to go everywhere and she wasn't going to miss one

>Two hours later and Elena was exhausted. Her body

>She'd shown her shops, parks, cafes, basically
>everything you had to know if you lived in this city.
>But did she really live here now?

>Although Nikita had talked and explained a lot to

>they sat in a bistro, drinking coffee and she knew
>what Elena would ask her now.

>Elena knew that now she could ask Nikita the question
>that had bothered her since Nikita's cool "Good
>morning" the other day. "Why are you here, Nikita?"
>she said finally. The younger woman stirred slowly in
>her cup and stared out of the window. She didn't even
>seem surprised.

>"I- I mean, I wake up... and am in some kind of James
>Bond thing, just more... you know what I mean- but you
>of all people! I expected you to be the last person to
>be in a place like this." Elena gushed when Nikita
>stayed silent. Eventually she looked at her and
>sighed. "There's a lot you don't know about me or my
>past... but you aren't ready to know yet. One day I'll
>tell you all you want to know, but not now."
>
>Now she got a little bit angry. Why wasn't she ready?
>What could possibly be so bad that Nikita couldn't
>tell her about it? Or was it forbidden to speak about
>such things?
>Nikita took one last sip and stood up, thereby

>Then let's go back again."
