Chapter 68


The conversation that had just transpired with her leader played over in Madame Cheung’s mind. Undeniably, she did have the very girl that could entertain Monsieur LeDeaux and she was certain that Nikita would do whatever it took to captivate this new client. Confident in Nikita’s ability to carry out this challenge Madame Cheung summoned her so that she could outline her plans.

Reaching for the phone she said, “Lee would you ask Nikita to come here please?”

“Yes ma’am ... Right away.”


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Madame Cheung sat at her dining room table, working on her laptop when Nikita entered the room and joined her. “Ah! … Good … You’re here.”

“Madame, you wanted to see me?”

“Come in Nikita … Yes … I have some good news.”

“Good news?”

Madame Cheung removed her glasses, rose from the table and ushered Nikita to the more comfortable wing chairs overlooking the garden. “Come … sit down, I will explain.”

Nikita took a seat as she continued. “You've done a great job Nikita in redefining who you are since you came here, and I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made.” Madame Cheung beamed at her indulgently.

“Thank you ...”

“You have far and away exceeded my wildest expectations. That is why I believe you are ready to put all of your training into practise. I have a job for you,’’ she informed her enthusiastically.

Without flinching a muscle, Nikita engaged in eye contact with Madame Cheung. “Thank you for the vote of confidence … but are you sure Madame?”

“Most definitely … you have been my star recruit Nikita. You’re more than ready my dear!”

Nikita could barely hold on to the fixed smile that crossed her mouth as Madame Cheung continued. “I have had a request from my illustrious leader. Come … I will explain your duties for next weekend.”

Looking at Nikita, she smiled contentedly watching for her reaction.


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


“... She will do whatever it takes!”

Standing at ease in the Perch, Michael gave the appearance of complete attentiveness to what his superiors were saying. However, his thoughts centered on the conversation Nikita had with Madame Cheung when she’d asked specifically about her duties. Given what Madeline had conveyed, this was especially significant in his plans to keep Nikita out of harm’s way.

“Will I be required to have sex with these men?”

“That decision is for you alone Nikita, you may choose to do so or you may not. It is entirely up to you. However, having said that, from time to time there are special requests from some of our clientele, but no one is forcing you to do anything against your free will.”

Obviously, this was Madame Cheung’s ploy to soften the impact of any proposal she may put to Nikita. The first couple of times she would not be required to go further than required, however, Michael knew this would not last forever. Nikita may eventually be backed into a corner and put into a situation without compromise. She was in trouble … he knew it … Operations knew it and Madeline knew Nikita may soon have her baptism of fire at long last.

Internalising this last piece of information, Michael also knew that Nikita could be in some danger especially if Madame Cheung pressed the envelope for her to oblige her clients every wants and needs.


Madeline’s voice prattling on brought Michael back to the present as she confirmed what may be required of Nikita. “… this form of prostitution often shelters under the umbrella of these exclusive Escort agencies, who supply attractive escorts for social occasions.”

“Is this where Nikita fits into the scenario?”

Ignoring the interruption but with a look that spoke volumes, Madeline continued cognizant of the effect her words were having on Michael’s psyche, “Madame Cheung’s customers call her agency … and the act takes place at the customer's place of residence or more commonly at his hotel room. Given the clientele that are believed to be on Madame Cheung’s books … this is not beyond the realms of possibility.” Then, raising her eyes towards Michael while watching for a response, she asked, “Would you have a problem with that Michael?”

His blank stare gave nothing away of his inner turmoil and replied, “No.”

“I suspect that at anytime now Madame Cheung will require Nikita to entertain clients that use her services. This could be at her residence or elsewhere by special arrangement. When this happens we will be able to make a move on her and Sun Yee Lok at the same time.”

“Do we know any names on her clientele list?”

“No … Not as yet. The Rising Dragons receive a considerable amount of money from this “business” venture. It is well into the millions of dollars. These are influential men who procure the services of women from Madame Cheung, and many hide under the protection of diplomatic immunity to avoid detection. Some may even be members of the Rising Dragons Triad ... perhaps even Sun Yee Lok himself also.”

“It would appear that Nikita has ingratiated herself into Madame Cheung’s confidence and trust. As a result, it is crucial that she stay there a while longer,” Operations insisted. “We also need to know who Madame Cheung’s clients are and how they can lead us to Sun Yee Lok. I want results!”

“Yes ... Nikita is in the perfect deep cover position to infiltrate the enemy long term,” Madeline replied, closely watching for Michael’s reaction while at the same time twisting the knife a little deeper into his heart. “I have been working on her profile parameters for this continuing mission.”

Speaking with authority, Operations indicated that he too, was not open to challenge on Nikita’s mission profile. “I agree. Nikita will remain with Madame Cheung as long as it is necessary to complete her assignment.” Then looking decisively at his Level 5 Operative he ordered, “That will be all for now Michael. You may go.”

“Thank you.” Turning without a single glance towards his superiors, Michael made his way from the Perch and walked towards his office.


*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


Nikita returned to her bedroom and sat on the bed somewhat stunned with what Madame Cheung had just told her would be required for her “first” assignation. Sighing, Nikita briefly shut her eyes then leaned her head back against the pillow deep in thought. She knew who to contact and immediately activated her small Comm. unit to Channel C.

“Michael?”


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~


In the confines of his office, Michael sat at his desk rubbing his chin. Deep in thought, he worriedly stroked his skin back and forth, until the sound of Nikita’s dulcet tones in his ear roused him from his thoughts.

“Nikita?” He answered softly.

“Michael ... Madame Cheung has a new client coming next weekend that she is grooming me to entertain as a personal request from Sun Yee Lok.”

“Do you know who it is?”

“Yes … a Jacques LeDeaux.”

“Has she outlined what she wants you to do?”

“Yes.”

There was silence from the other end and Nikita plaintively repeated his name. “Michael?” I can’t do this!”

“Do Operations and Madeline know of his visit?” Michael replied hearing the entreaty in her voice.

“Not yet … but I will have to inform Section of this connection to Sun Yee Lok.” There was a little hesitation before she asked, ”What should I do?”

“Don’t worry I’ll think of something,” he reassured her knowing how much of an anathema Valentine missions were to Nikita. “Give me one hour.”

“I will.”

Michael set the wheels in motion … but first he needed to know who this Jacques LeDeaux was. “Let me check out the target first before you tell Madeline and Operations.”

“Okay.”


~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


The sound of silence was deafening in two separate locations as the two Section One operatives both did what they had to do.
