Nikita

"what the fuċk." i had bȧrėly been days since i saw Liam die and this woman too. I'm beginning to question the relationship renata had with natalya because no woman would let her daughter be killed in cold bolood no matter how essential the mission is. There is always someone who can be used for such,. And that's hw i'm sure natalya has no child. I was right after all. When we get to the highway to my office, i let out a sigh f relief when s happenign righ now to their tiny and fragile minds? Somethignis going on, something beyond me and my maid and frankly, i'm not interested i knowing it. I refuse to be interested in whatever is happening. The director meets us halfway to the office and nods sadly at me."Ma'am calm down and please explain what you mean" Officer Qiao says and I smirk at him. For a man who always loved bullets since childhood, he looks constipated by juts looking tt this woman. I understand him though. I want to tll him hell be okay, but he's an officer of the law, I shoudlnt be enocuragign him especially since he's always been a pain in my ȧss.

"Him, I saw him. He was there. He shudlnt have been there, but he was there" the oman insists and I want to punch the living daylights out of her. "Patience Nikita", I remind myself for the tenth time since I saw this woman.

"Ma'am what is your name? And what is it that doctor pavlenko did or didnt do?" Officer Qiao asks again. Anyone can see he's getting tired of thai woman's theatrics. She had evry chance to tell us what i did or didnt do, but twenty minutes later, she's still behaving like i am awalkig nuclear bomb. Welll if you think of e and my mental health like that, then yes, I am a nuclear biomb. Everythgin in my lfie makes me want to murder people, and I'm not apologetic abtu that, btu this one, this is an attention seeker. Everything about her seems to be meant to distract us all. Fuck, distraction. She's here dustracting us, well ot us, byut me. Its only then that i realise i was coming from my room when she showed up. Maybe they want the memory card back. Well fuċk me.

**********************

"Deal with her, I'll be back" I tell Officer Qiao but he doesnt seem to think that is a good idea. I know he's miserable, but i wil even be more miserable if i dont leave right now. Maggie looks at me hopelessly, as if pleading with me to stay and listen to all that is happening. She doesnt say a word, but I have known this woman since i was a kid tagging along with my parents when they came to work here. She knows me s well, but she also knows that i'm curious about all of this. Maye she just wants me to get my answers and my closure. Nothing was ever the same since the pink pajama incident and i know she worries for me. That shoudl make me feel better for some reason, btu it doesnt.

"We need you here. We actually came here for you. But first we need to know what theis woman wants and we can go on ahead" Officer Qiao insists. I sigh defeatedly and i ap y feet annoyingly.

"I'm Ren" she says and my head turns so fast i think i may have broken a bone. Shit, that hurts. I look at her, wonderign what the hell she means with that. I want to know whether she is called ren on she's here ebaceuse of ren juts like the bastard that showed up here lookign like Yuri. is this some sort of gam that I'm not ware of? Am i a pawn? Well that would suck, a lot.

"What?" I as and she just looks at e like she expected the whole thing to unfold. I swear if this woman is here to play with me, then Qiao will have to book me. No seriously. No one gets to trigger one of the worst losses i ever experienced in my life and just stand there looking at me like its worth appreciating.

"Ren?" Qiao and I ask at the same time but breathe in a sgh of relief when she says, "Renata Smirnoff" and I want to tell her she should have began with that. What the hell is wrong with her anyway. The squas=drin eing here art the hospital iis attaracting attention. I mut admit they look pretty good, but did they really have to some here looking like they ahd a warrant for me? Oh Qiao and his theatrics.

"Well Renata Smrinoff. Could you be kind enough to tlel us why you're here and why you are pointing at me like a lunatic?" I ask and Maggie smacks my head with the file folder she's holding.

"O what was that for. We have patients to attend to and Officer Qiao's face is scaring thepatients. I just want them gone is all" I wiper to maggie, but she hits me even harde,r eminding me that i cant whisper to save my own life. Well there goes my plans.

Renata seems to have gone silent and she says what I never expected i would have to hear again. Th word that haunt me more than the time mother kicked my ȧss really bad for not cooking for Raisa. In my defense, that sday I was suppsoed to cook, but raisa and Yuri had reset my games, and now they=ir punishment was to stay hugry. No one messes with my video games. It wasnteasy getting those scores that high y'know.

"Run, before they reach you" Renata says and with that she slumps dead onthe floor and juts like liam, she ahd a killswitch in her eyes. Well there goes my sanity. I look around the hospita, wondering whether the person who dod this to her is still around. Qiao and his team are quick to respond. He pushes me away fro the woman, like he's scared she's avign a virus that could affect me. But she doesnt. I know because Liam had none. If the same person as controlligthem, then no one is going to get hurt. The hospital is once sgain in shock, and right in the middle of the chaos, is me. Th egreat doctor Mykolajki, the doctor who wats to disappear and leave everythging. The docto who's juts breathing and has nothing to live for. Well, i know Yuri is alive, but how ong wil it take me to get to my brother anyway?

"Go back to your office Myolajki" Qiao says and ȧssigns me two of his teammates to accompany me. The elevator ride is lonely and filled with so many throughts, one prominent through being,
