Walter and Nikita have just finished debriefing. Walter says, "I've got an idea. It's Halloween and we are in the U.S. Let's check out some local attractions and go to a Halloween Party."

Nikita says, "Oh, I don't know Walter."

"Come on Sugar. It's not often that we get a break from Section. Let's make the most of this. Trust me, you will enjoy this party."

Walter chooses the costumes. Walter is Zorro. Nikita is dressed as Aphrodite.

Walter lets out a "Wahoooo" as he and Nikita cruise through the Nevada desert. When they arrive, the party is in full swing. The band is playing the Monster Mash. The house is decorated with pumpkins, bright lights, laughter, and people dressed in all sorts of costumes.

Walter says, "Sugar, I will go get us a couple of drinks. You just mingle and I'll be right back."

A stranger also dressed as Zorro is at the party. His eyes follow Nikita around the room.

Nikita looks for Walter and sees that he is engaged is a flirtatious conversation with a lady dressed as Elvira. Nikita giggles, "Oh, Walter, you flirt."

The stranger and Nikita make eye contact. He crosses the room to her.

"May I have this dance?" The stranger has a British accent. She is drawn to a familiarity about him.

Nikita and the masked stranger begin a slow dance. His gaze drifts over her, noting the softness of her skin and the suppleness of her lips. Just being near this stranger seduces her senses. Her awareness of his buff physique has her imagination going wild.

The stranger says, "Would you please join me for a drink?" The masked man's voice changes and the hair stands up on the back of Nikita's neck. She recognizes Jurgen's voice but thinks that it is a trick. She frowns at him, suspicion ringing through her head. ‘Is Section testing me again?'

Nikita says, "Please, excuse me." Nikita leaves the room and runs out onto the veranda.

Jurgen follows and touches her arm and says, "Please, listen to me."

Nikita says, "Who are you?"

"I think you already know."

"No, I don't. This is a cruel trick. Prove to me who you are. Do or say something only he and I would know."

Jurgen throws a punch at her face and she immediately checks the punch and flips him on the ground.

Jurgen says, "You don't seem out of sync now."

Nikita feels her heart squeeze. She is stunned. She leans forward and stares into his eyes. She gently touches his face, tracing his lips. Does she take a chance and believe? How? Why? Her operative skills kick back in. She places her fingers to his lips to quiet him. Pleading with her eyes: "Don't say anything." Nikita wonders if Section is watching or listening.

Jurgen quickly reverts to his British accent. He says, "Come with me. We don't have long until the bewitching hour is upon us."

Jurgen leads Nikita back into the house and up a winding staircase. Nikita hesitates, "What about Walter?"

"Don't worry, he's one of us." Nikita looks over the room and spies Walter watching her. He raises his hand and blows her a kiss. A smile comes to her lips.

Jurgen and Nikita enter a room at the end of the hallway. Jurgen turns and enters a code on a keypad on the wall. Jurgen says, "We are insulated in here and can speak freely." Jurgen removes his Zorro mask.

Nikita stares at him. Her eyes are moist with unshed tears.

He smiles crookedly at her and they embrace. She cups the side of his face. He turns his head and places a kiss in her palm. They both shudder at the contact. Jurgen nips at her lower lip and then begins to place kisses over her face and neck. Nikita purrs in pleasure. Her hands begin to roam over him familiarizing herself with his buff body. She arches her back, loving every erotic caress he gives her. He sweeps her off her feet and cradles her against his body. Her hunger for him intensifies. Jurgen feels her nipples harden under her dress. He leans down and suckles one nipple through the material. Nikita sucks in a sharp breath. He kneels before her and helps her to disrobe. She unbuttons his shirt and pushes it away from his broad shoulders. She then drives her fingers through his hair. He begins to lick and taste her other breast slowly moving down her body to her feminine warmth. He rises and leads her to the bed. He gently lowers her down and joins her. They continue to stroke and touch, savoring the taste of each other. Nikita reaches between them and strokes his maleness. Jurgen groans his pleasure. They can no longer control their desire. She straddles him, submerging them both in an erotic dance of ectasy where they lose all sense of time and place.

A while later, Jurgen and Nikita are cuddling in bed. Nikita says, "How did you survive the explosion?"

Jurgen says, "I never went on the mission. Adrian got me out of Section. Another operative with a terminal disease was sent in my place. A special mask of my face was created and he wore it."

Nikita asks, "Why did you come back? Did you plan all this with Walter?"

Jurgen says, " I couldn't get you out of my head or my heart. I want us to share our lives."

Nikita's begins to cry tears of happiness. "I love you, Jurgen."

Jurgen says, "I love you, too."

Jurgen and Nikita embrace, basking in the glow and knowledge of their love and silently giving thanks at this second chance. They begin working on a plan to get her out of Section. It will not take place immediately. They do not want to arouse suspicion.

Several hours later, there is a knock at the door.

"Sugar? It's me."

"Come on in, Walter," says Nikita. Nikita smiles at Walter and gives him a big hug. "Thank you Walter. You were right, I really did enjoy this Halloween party."

Nikita neatly folds up Jurgen's Zorro mask and places it in her purse. Jurgen is nowhere in sight. He left after he and Nikita watched the sun come up. Walter and Nikita exit the house and ride off on Walter's Harley. They have a plane to catch back to Section.

Nikita returns to Section refreshed and focused. It is just a matter of time before she is able to be with Jurgen. He has captured her heart and she his.

3 months later.. The plan goes into action.
