Chapter Twenty Four


********

“You never wanted me in the Perch,” Michael’s answer stunned her yet again. “Personally or professionally.”

“Why would you think that?” Nikita was genuinely at a loss.

“You questioned my decisions when I was in command,” Michael reminded Nikita of her attitude towards him in the past. “You weren’t enthusiastic about my turns in the Perch.”

“That was different.”

“How?”

“I wasn’t completely aware of the politics and dynamics between Section One and the rest of the Agency.”

“Or perhaps my time in command tainted your opinion of my suitability for the Perch,” Michael presented an alternate scenario. “Which facilitated your decision to free me rather than recommend advancement.”

“The cancellation order came from Center,” Nikita denied the thinly veiled accusation.

“Because of my continued protection?” Michael questioned.

“I-I’m not sure…” Nikita faltered, reluctant to answer.

“You asked me to put a stop to preferential treatment.” Michael pushed, bringing up their long ago conversation But, if you treat me differently, that’s unfair to the others and to me, Nikita had said after Michael had taken her out of the field before the mission against Bergomi. “Was that a signal to discontinue breaking protocol on your behalf because Center was watching?”

“No,” The denial was vehement. “Your principles were never the issue.”

“Then why did you never confront your father for ordering the cancellation of the person who protected you regardless of the consequences?” This part was personal.
