Nikita was on the way back to her apartment when she had seen Birkhoff. After years of knowing him, she could tell just from the way he was looking that he was off in his own little world. And he wondered why he was so easy to kidnap? As much fun as it was to screw with him, Nikita wanted to check in on him along with seeing if his research came up with anything.
“Do you have to be so bad at knowing your surroundings? At least I didn’t come up behind you and faked a kidnapping,” a smirk showed up for a minute, knowing it would probably annoy Birkhoff. “Seriously though,” she said as she stayed walking right alongside him, “I thought I’d see if you came up with anything about that thing you were looking into.”
