Rumors in Shadows

One of Nikita's remaining, trustworthy contacts requests a meeting at a large church in a city about two hours from the tiny town where Nikita's been in hiding, retired.

He explains there's a rumor that her former boss, Sniper Girl's current boss, has trained a replacement, not only for Nikita, but potentially for Sniper Girl.

Nikita doesn't care if she's replaced, she figured she would be, but her informant asks how she feels about the danger possibly facing Sniper Girl.

Nikita tells him she doesn't care, that she and Sniper Girl were rivals, not friends, and neither owes the other anything.

He observes that maybe, people like them, owe more than they can ever repay, so why bother trying.

After he leaves, Nikita stares at the large doors of the old church.

 

"Bless me father I have sinned

I'm not sure where to begin

I won't name names or where I've been

But I've been there and back again

No Hail Marys will save me

You learned to live with memories

Here, slip this C-note up your sleeve

Just stay inside until I leave"
