Jackson had shared with her only moments before.
    “Nadia Jacobson,” Alicia said, her eyes locking onto those of the German soldier. “Or should I say Ancient Sympathizer number one thirty seven?” she asked.
    “What madness are you speaking of?” Nadia demanded of the brunette soldier.
    “Seems my hero had a set of classified documents with him. A list of military personnel which are sympathetic to the Ancients. Not to mention several classified photos, one of which puts you at a meeting on an Ancient ship.” Alicia said.
    “What?” Nadia asked, changing her tone significantly.
    “It's time to come clean. Confess, and perhaps I may spare your life,” Alicia said. “But choose your next words with caution, because I have no more use for lies. Lies that have lead to the death of a member of my team!” she added, her pistol aiming directly into Nadia's direction.
    “Okay,” Nadia said, holding her hand out to ask for a moment. “Okay, it's true. But at least give me an opportunity to speak. Please.”
    “Alright then.” Alicia replied, keeping her gun on Nadia while listening.
    “We became aware of an impending war between Ancient factions.” Nadia said.
    “Nothing new, they fight all of the time.” Calypso replied.
    “Not like this,” Nadia said as if to convince them. “I mean an official war. They mean to chew at one another until only one faction remains. I'm just part of an organized group of officials who approached the faction at the doorstep of Washington City. They assured us peace if our Resistance groups were to lay down arms and fight alongside them in their war to come.” Nadia added.
    “The group that approached the Ancients...Germans?” Alicia demanded to know.
    “No,” Nadia said. “In fact, other than myself and the few Ancients who are loyal to our cause, no other Germans are involved.”
    “It's true,” Preacher said. “I knew nothing of this treason!”
    “Americans then?” Alicia asked, already knowing the answer that would follow.
    “Yes, several of them. Politicians mostly.” Nadia responded.
    Alicia stood there for a few moments. She knew Nadia spoke the truth, because the list of names backed up her story. They were indeed all Americans with the exception of a few Nomad groups.
     
     
    “I have no such treaty with the Ancients. Just a promise to our own kind to dust as many of those son of a bitches as I can, and I keep my promises,” Alicia replied. “Leave us.”
    “But Alicia, if we don't go soon the Butchers,” Calypso replied.
    “I said leave us,” Alicia said with a stern tone. “I'll be right behind you, but she won't.”
    As the group began leaving into a dark alley by way of a side door, Preacher took enough time to stop and look to Nadia, giving her the look of a traitor.
    “You mean to kill me then?” Nadia asked.
    “No,” Alicia said, approaching her slowly. “I told you I'm a warrior who keeps her promises.”
    “What is to become of...” Nadia began to ask, Alicia grabbing her hands quickly and holding them above her, pressing the German goddess to the wall as they kissed with passion. Their lips only began things as they soon exchanged tongues, breathing heavily in the process.
    “I wish we could have met under different circumstances. I truly do.” Alicia said, her heavy breathing quickly silenced by Nadia's puffy lips.
    “Perhaps one day,” Nadia managed to push from her lips, before they trembled for another deep kiss. “You'll remain on my mind until that time.”
    “I'm sorry.” Alicia replied, kissing the blonde one final time, finally sweeping the butt of her pistol around and burying it into the head of the German.
    As Nadia lay there, unconscious, Alicia knelt down, kissing her lips slightly before rising back to her own feet.
    “Goodbye Nadia Jacobson.”
     
    “I still can't believe Nadia betrayed us. Betrayed Germany.” Preacher said, as the group now included Alicia and had found shelter inside of a small house
