Present Day
14 Days Later...
Nikita still hasn't spoken to Jenna. She began to lose hope. Will she ever discover the secrets of the Triad?
But what about our protagonist, Nikita Volkov?
Is he finally ready to lay down his weapons? Will the final curtain close?
💭Nikita: Hearing my own heartbeat isn't so strange anymore...
It thunders like the drums of war...
Brother...
Vengeance. Is. All that I can see now. Jenna, you've betrayed me. But now, I've gained the upper hand. Jenna...
It was only for a split second, but I remember. Maybe my memory isn't a curse after all, because...
Now...
*Nikita's mind halts. He can only hear the winds of revenge.*
💭Nikita: I KNOW YOUR SECRET.
Jenna: Hi, you requested to speak with me?
Nikita: The agreement has changed.
Jenna: No, you can't just change our agreement...
Nikita: I will tell you the remaining secrets of the Triad if, and only if, you allow me to visit Hong Kong afterward.
Jenna: What? I don't even have that kind of authority around here...
Nikita: Then you best find someone who does. And... it's the least you can do, Jenna.
Jenna: Nikita, I can't let you leave.
Nikita: I know you'll let me leave, Jenna.
Because there is one force in this world stronger than any other...
*Nikita stares deeply into Jenna's eyes*
Nikita: Make. The. Arrangements.
*Jenna's eyes grow brighter*
Jenna: I... I guess there's one option...
*Nikita keeps listening*
Jenna: Theoretically, you could work for me.
Nikita: That'll do just fine. I've put my trust in you, now it's time you do the same for me. Let's finish this story so I can get out of this forsaken place.
*Jenna looks at Nikita nervously*
*Nikita doesn't break eye contact*
Nikita: Emotions breed weakness, Jenna. You should have been more careful.
*Jenna's pupils dilate*
Jenna: I'm only human.
*Nikita nods*
Nikita: That's right... now listen closely.
It was time to make sense of all the data we gathered.
Past
5:20 AM
Nikita: Alright, brother, let's do this.
*Pavel claps his hands*
Pavel: I'm ready.
Nikita: I'll take the bottom four locations. You take the top.
Pavel: I'll see you later tonight.
*You get on the train*
Present Day
Nikita: I'm going to skip the boring part... I'll jump to the part where we gathered a lot of information.
By this time, we'd already spied several times on the City Grill restaurants.
Jenna: There weren't any complications during the espionage?
Nikita: You underestimate the Volkovs, Jenna.
Also, just in case you were wondering...
It turns out Katina was trustworthy. She didn't reveal our "fake" plan...
But still, we didn't know what to do with her.
We asked her to keep us up to date on what her bosses were doing and where they were going.
But because Katina was rarely ever involved with business matters, she didn't give us very useful information.
Jenna: She was just dead weight at that point.
Nikita: Pretty much. But there was one piece of useful information she gave us.
She told us that she was working for the Russian mob, which was not ideal...
This scared us for obvious reasons. We had just stolen money and killed a member of the mob in Moscow.
Then, we immediately asked her if anyone at the party recognized us. She gave us a firm no.
Jenna: No one recognized you... That seems lucky.
Nikita: Possibly, but all things considered, we felt safer at that point. We thought we may have disappeared from the Mob's sights.
We still executed caution, but I'm here now... so obviously, they didn't capture or kill us.
At this point, you're probably wondering why we would attempt yet another heist against the mob.
Jenna: Yeah... that seems dangerous.
Nikita: You're right. We barely escaped Moscow. But the fact was, we were stealing anyway... from ATMs.
We were looking for one big score.
Then we had plans to leave the continent entirely and move to Venezuela.
*Nikita speaks slowly*
Nikita: Had I taken that path... this would've been a much different story.
*Jenna continues to listen*
