Chapter 124

Nikita�s week at the OCTB had been taken up with investigations about the car bombing in Victoria Park and their shadowing of Samuel Li. With her two colleagues, she had been sent to find out as much as they could about the explosion but they had reported that there were no obvious links to the Black Panthers that they could substantiate. Although surveillance footage of Samuel Li was plentiful, Nikita knew that they would find nothing that connected him to the bombing in the park as well. Nevertheless she was sure that Inspector Ng would no doubt find a fine thread that would implicate him and the Black Panthers triad in this atrocity thus making a case for his arrest. She had also managed to diffuse the issue of the mystery man as there was too little to go on. The chance of the OCTB locating Michael was less than one percent even if they had a recon photograph, which they didn�t, so the possibility of finding him without knowing anything of his identity was negligible. Hence enquires in this direction had turned up nothing.

In the meantime Michael had carried out his own surveillance on Inspector Ng. He�d spent time going over the disk Ami Yeung had given him, but what he had been able to make out was information that Section already had on him. Unfortunately some of the Intel on the disk had indeed been encrypted, and Michael was unable to decipher its contents. Hence Birkoff had needed to go through the disk. As a result, Section had been able to add further Intel to Inspector Ng�s dossier.

There was, however, some very explosive Intel on it too which showed proof that Jiang Ng was a criminal and member of the Rising Dragons. His connections to the triad actually went back over many years; he had been recruited in his youth then had been sent to the police academy as a young man. He�d worked his way up the police ranks and now, because of his position at the OCTB, served as the triad's best mole. The more they learnt about Inspector Ng�s insidious treachery, the duplicity of his position at the OCTB and association with the Rising Dragons, the more became the need to bring him into Section One and if he was at the club tonight, that indeed would happen.

Michael had also mused over whether to bring Karen and her boyfriend in, or to wait until after the party. Nikita, however, needed them for her introduction to the target Andy Koo, and he knew she would be safe until then as Karen and Steven were away. He�d checked to see if her design job was legitimate and had an operative tailing her in Beijing. He had reported back her movements and they were as she had said. Karen had also rung Nikita to arrange the time that she would be at her apartment to collect her for Andy Koo�s birthday party and as planned, she�d picked her up at 9 p.m. for their night at the club.

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

Michael and the team were in position and had the club under surveillance. As a precaution, he had organized extra back up for the mission tonight for if all major players were in play, as he hoped they would be, the nightclub was the most logical place to make a move on each and every one of them. This time Section One would be waiting for Andy Koo, Inspector Ng and any other members of the Rising Dragons in attendance.

Section�s mission van was parked outside the club while inside Michael was watching the van�s monitors. Scrutinizing all the invited guests who had turned up for Andy Koo�s birthday party, he waited for Nikita�s arrival with her neighbour Karen Ho. He�d relayed the visual back to Section for Birkoff to cross monitor any of the individuals in case one was a match to their data base on the Rising Dragons. Intel of those in attendance would also be stored for further reference should Section need it in the future.

Studying the visuals Michael suddenly zoomed in on the vision of loveliness that came onto his screen. Nikita was dressed in a beautiful, sexy, black cocktail gown. He magnified her image concentrating on her face or more specifically her eyes ... eyes that seemed to know he was looking at her. She blinked once, then Nikita�s blue eyes looked directly at him revealing the window to her soul. Michael swallowed a lump in his throat at the mesmerising telltale glance but managed to keep his mind on what he had to do. He zoomed out to concentrate on her neighbour Karen Ho and studied her body language around Nikita.

It was difficult to know whether she was merely exhibiting enthusiasm for the evening ahead or acting suspiciously. Either way, Michael knew he would be keeping Karen Ho under close surveillance while she was around Nikita in the club.

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

As they made their way closer to the entrance of the club the two women were stopped by a security guard who was checking ID for the guests who had been invited.

�This is a private party tonight.�

�I�m one of the girls,� Nikita replied cheekily.

�Why you late?�

�I had to take a philosophy exam.�

�And you?� he said turning to Karen.

�I�m with her,� Karen replied, �And my boyfriend is one of the band members.�

�Okay ... you�re in ... but I don�t know about your friend here.� Turning, the guard looked back at Nikita who smiled coyly at him as he looked her up and down.

�You can frisk me, if you want��

�Works for me.�

Nikita raised her hands overhead, giving him access to her. Placing his hands over her breasts, the man slowly slid them down her body, then back up. He smiled, enjoying himself, while Nikita stood perfectly still unaffected by his ministrations.

�Let her in,� the guard said taking a small step backwards so that Nikita had to brush past him to enter the door. �Have a good time girls.�

�Ooooh Nik ... You are so bad!� Karen stated when out of ear shot of the security guard.

�Yes I am ...� she replied.

�We had tickets you know ... we could have showed them.�

�Yeah... but that was more fun.�

Their laughter echoed along the passageway as they entered the club for the Andy Koo�s birthday celebrations. The two women stood at the entrances observing the crowd that had assembled in the nightclub then turning towards Karen, Nikita smiled broadly. �Should be a good night judging by the festivities already going on.�

�Yeah ... It�s much livelier than the last time we were here. Come on Nik, let�s find a table before they�ve all gone,� Karen replied leading the way across the dance floor in search of a vacant table.

However, before making her way through the crowd Nikita casually raised her hand and touched the broach on her dress between her breasts which activated the hidden camera in it. She turned left to view the people gathered in the club providing Michael in the mission van with a view of the interior of the club.

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

�Okay, she�s in.� Michael alerted Section as the images of those gathered were transmitted to Birkoff�s computer. �You getting this Birkoff?� he asked.

�Loud and clear.�

�Nikita I'll coordinate from here. Work your way through the club and standby. Michael stated from outside the club. He had purposefully located himself in this position knowing that Karen Ho may be suspicious of his appearance and therefore would recognise him.

�Understood,� she replied as she watched Karen greet a friend warmly ahead of her.

�Nikita, get to your point. Once you�re settled in I'll give you a signal then I�ll provide backup if necessary.�

�Yeah, right.�

Tonight the club was abuzz with the cream of Hong Kong society. Most of the women were young and gorgeous ... the men debonair and rich. Nikita and Karen circled the party and tried to make their way across the floor towards a vacant table. Noticing Jacobs, Nikita made eye contact with him and he acknowledged her look with a corresponding nod as he walked past her. Nikita watched as a woman danced with two guys, but as they drew level with the threesome one of her partners grabbed Nikita and began to imitate the erotic dance with her brushing his body against hers as they moved to the Latin rhythm that was playing. The other swirled Karen around the floor brushing their bodies together as well.

Nikita turned her head and Michael had the visual of her looking straight at him as she danced. She found herself unable to look away knowing that he was watching her. Sensuality shimmered in her blue gaze like a warm flame, while back in the van; an appreciative look appeared on Michael�s face as he watched her captivate not only him but the unsuspecting man. She was good ... very good and her eyes conveyed ... I wish this was you ... this could be you! This will be you tonight.

"Do you see him yet?" Michael�s voice whispered in Nikita's ear.

Her eyes roved about the room but didn�t see anyone who would fit the bill of their target. �No ... not yet,� she answered in a provocative purr.

�Keep alert.�

Nikita smiled knowingly at Michael�s reply as she broke away from the man who danced his way back to where his partner was oblivious that she was dancing alone. Laughing she continued across the floor followed by Karen who had managed to lose her dance partner as well.

As they continued to cross the room a man standing near a wall watched Nikita�s progress. Little did she know but more than one pair of eyes was watching her.

Surreptitiously she surveyed the surrounds keeping an eye on a man guarding the entrance to a restricted area of the club where a small group of people were quietly conversing. Looking up she saw a good looking Chinese man sitting with some minders and a woman on either side of him on a couch drinking cocktails near to where they were heading. No sooner had Nikita made eye contact than the man looked at her captivated by what he saw. She flirtatiously smiled his way then looked away.

�Birkoff, twenty degrees to the left,� she whispered.

�Yeah ... okay I see him.�

�Is he the target?� Michael interjected.

�I�m searching for a match,� Birkoff replied to him before bantering with Nikita. �Hey Nikita ...�

�Yeah?�

�Be careful crossing the rest of the room! Your dancing has set some temperatures rising.�

�Up yours, Birkoff!�

�Anytime, babe, my number�s in the book.�

�You�ll keep Seymour!�

The party was certainly in full swing. Making her way towards the table, Nikita saw various shenanigans taking place as the uninhibited crowd got down and dirty on the dance floor. She couldn�t help but think of what that would be like to do that with Michael and a slight blush coloured her cheeks at the mind visual. Getting her mind back on the job at hand was her first priority though and Nikita continued to cross the floor. She made eye contact and traded nods with another undercover Team Operative who was standing to one side of the dance floor.

�Do you have a match yet Birkoff?� Michael asked.

�Yep ... Bingo ... It�s Andy Koo alright.�
