Nikita had called out once in the house, but she had a sense of where they were and she didn’t even stop in the living room. She started up the stairs. She had things to talk to Lisa about, but this wasn’t how she wanted to have that conversation.
When she reached the landing, she could hear the music behind Adam’s closed door. She knocked at the door. “Adam… Lisa… open this door right now.”
There was rapid movement and the door opened up quickly, both teenagers easily in sight and still fully clothed. Adam smiled. “Thank god you are home… you can get Walter to stop trying to tire out Sabina.”
“You both are not to be in this room with the door closed,” Nikita spoke firmly as she pushed the door open all the way. Michael had just come up to the top of the stairs, surprised with how quickly Nikita sprung into action. “We went over this, Adam.”
“But you weren’t here when Walter had Sabina running around like a banshee… and it was so loud and we just closed the door for some peace and quiet… Walter said we could,” Adam explained as he stepped backwards into the room.
“There are rules, Adam,” Nikita spoke and Michael frowned. “Kita… let’s listen to him…”
“Michael,” Nikita hissed back as she shook her head from side to side. “Adam… Walter doesn’t know all of the rules.”
“But Nikita… he wasn’t caring what we did… or how much it bothered us with his efforts to get Sabina tired…” Adam protested with a voice that was growing more agitated. He shook his head from side to side before crossing his arms. “Walter said we could!”
“We were wrong,” Lisa spoke from behind Adam as she stood there with her eyes slightly diverted. Nikita took a deep breath and Michael looked at his son. There had to be more of a reason to close the door. “We were just… talking…”
“Just listen to the rules from now on,” Michael spoke as he could feel the tension in Nikita’s stance. Her mind was processing a lot and she was starting to figure some things out. Michael would find out from Adam, but he was almost sure that the other reason why the door was shut was because he was asking Lisa about Section and what she remembered. He shouldn’t have been doing that. He shouldn’t have even known that Jason was looking for someone from that time, but he did. And Adam would want to know more.
“It’s good that you are still here, Lisa. I need to talk to you,” Nikita rubbed her arms slightly. She stepped back. “Can you join me in my room?”
Lisa didn’t seem shocked and it confirmed that Adam had been asking her about Section. Even Nikita could tell that. She wanted to strangle Adam for doing that to Lisa. He didn’t know all that she had been thru and didn’t know that he could have made this even more difficult.
Nikita was barely closing the door when Lisa sighed. “There is something about Section that you are looking into.”
“Adam was asking you?” Nikita inquired and Lisa nodded her head. “He isn’t very good at hiding what he knows yet.”
“Let’s hope he doesn’t get good at that,” Nikita quipped as she motioned for Lisa to sit down on the bed with her. Lisa settled and rubbed her hands along her legs. “I told Adam that I don’t remember much. What I do remember more is what you told me to do when you were getting me out. Adam then asked if there was something that you could have done to me to make me forget those things.”
Nikita gasped as she was stunned with that statement. Nikita blinked back tears in fact. She worked so hard to protect the kids that could be saved. But Nikita had to swallow that back now as her hand touched that paper that was in her pants pocket. She had to talk to Lisa about this first. “Lisa… I didn’t do anything…”
“I was young,” Lisa nodded her head up and down. “I don’t know… maybe he is worried that I’ll develop PTSD… or at least, that is what I was thinking the whole conversation was until you said that you wanted to talk.”
Nikita shook her head slightly. “It’s not bad, Lisa. I just… want to check on some things…”
“Is this for Sabina?” Lisa inquired and Nikita dropped her head. “How did you get so smart?”
“I guess… Section?” Lisa shrugged her shoulders. Nikita looked at the girl and blinked her eyes. “I know that you were amongst the younger children… but they had you working with teachers at a very young age. Did you have much to do with… ah… what was her name…”
Nikita was struggling as she had been looking for Reagan, but she had forgotten what the children called her inside of Section. “I think she was called Miss Ray.”
“She was the young teacher,” Lisa nodded her head up and down. “She was with us a lot.”
“Was she good?” Nikita inquired and Lisa shrugged her shoulders. “She was careful.”
Nikita cringed. She didn’t know if she was going to get the information that she wanted right now. She had gotten Reagan out of Section because Nikita was easily able to find out from Walter’s research that she was completely innocent of the crimes that Section had used to get her into their claws right before she graduated from the University. “So… you don’t have bad memories related to Miss Ray?”
“No,” Lisa shook her head from side to side. “And now that I can look back… I think she tried to bend the rules for us sometimes… letting us play with toys that weren’t those memory or puzzle games.”
“Like?”
“Barbies,” Lisa blushed slightly. “We weren’t to have them at first.”
“I got them but a lot of the teachers didn’t… think I’d last,” Nikita rasped as she looked at Lisa and was about to speak when there was a lot of noise outside.
“I AM SLOWLY….” Sabina screamed as she ran down the hallway. Nikita arched an eyebrow as she couldn’t make out the words as she could only hear her daughter’s feet running down the stairs. She looked at Lisa. “What was that?”
“Sabina… has been a terror,” Lisa admitted with a frown. She sighed and winced slightly. “It isn’t that she isn’t sweet… she is… but she is always… on… and it’s like she is playing a part… but Walter got on this… kick… of trying to tire her out…”
“FOUR, FIVE, SIX….” Sabina screamed as she ran passed the room again. Nikita frowned and looked at Lisa. “What is she singing?”
“A song,” Lisa quipped and sighed. “It goes… I am slowly going crazy, - one, two, three, four, five, six, Switch! Crazy going, slowly am I, six, five, four, three, two, one Switch!”
Nikita closed her eyes and rubbed her forehead. “What?”
“SWITCH! CRAZY GOING…” Sabina’s voice shouted as she dashed passed the room again. Nikita opened her eyes and looked at Lisa.
“Walter told her it is a contest… and he has her run around the house while singing that song for ten minutes… and Sabina is able to tell him how many times that she sings the song and how many laps that she has done… because she has that quick mind…” Lisa explained and Nikita shook her head.
This wasn’t a good thing!
“That’s why we shut the door… It went on a bit last night… but practically started the first thing this morning… after Sabina bounced from place to place all last night,” Lisa sighed as she pressed her lips together. “But we weren’t complaining. I think she is great, Nikita.”
“I’m not upset at all,” Nikita shook her head.
“THREE, TWO, ONE…”
Nikita wanted to beat Walter up for this one. This wasn’t going to help and if anything, he was making it worse. Nikita stood up and opened the door. She waited until her daughter was screaming and coming down the hallway again before stepping into the hallway and grabbing her around her waist.
“Let me down Mom! I’m going for a record this time,” Sabina struggled and Nikita shook her head. “Oh no, you aren’t… Aren’t you happy to see me?”
“But I’m going to make Walter so proud!” Sabina protested and Nikita held onto her daughter tighter as Michael stepped out from Adam’s room with a frown on his face also. Something told Nikita that Adam had just filled Michael in on the game that Walter was using with their daughter.
Boy they needed to talk Reagan into becoming Sabina’s teacher!
“Aren’t you going to give your mom a big kiss to welcome her back home?” Michael asked as he walked over towards Nikita and touched his daughter’s back. She pressed quick kiss to Nikita and sighed. “Now, can I get back to my record?”
“Oh…. The game is over now that we are home,” Nikita shook her head from side to side as she tossed her daughter to Michael and stroked her hair gently. “And really… Paps really shouldn’t have you running up and down the stairs.”
“He said that it will get the bunny out of me,” Sabina laughed with a giggle as she squirmed in Michael’s arms.
“The bunny?” Nikita inquired and Adam cleared his throat. “The Energizer Bunny.”
“Walter!” Nikita shouted as she turned and started down the stairs.
He had some answers to provide, and now.
