Nikki’s Townhouse
The notification finally sounded indicating that Simon sent a reply. Nikki felt like she hadn’t taken a breath since she sent her email, waiting to hear back. The butterflies had reproduced exponentially since her last communication and were now hosting a carnival in her belly. She opened the email:
“Dearest Butterfly,
Thank you for what you said Nikki, all of it. Knowing that I could bring a small measure of relief to the families of those girls makes my entire mission worthwhile, that’s why I started to begin with. Be careful letting that rage out, as I said in the blog, once it’s out, it likes to stay out. You are much too good of a person to let the rage control anything about you, that’s what I am here for.
I have been kicking myself for walking out of your bedroom, but after what you wrote, I think we would still be there suffering from starvation and dehydration by now if I had stayed. I can’t imagine I possess the strength to let you out of my arms once they are around you. You are even more beautiful in person than I thought possible. One day Nikki, one day…..
I hate to change subjects so abruptly, but someone has been commenting on my blog and I think this person is a copycat wanna be of sorts. He has been commenting on my guests, making suggestions, asking to be part of the mission. I see a lot of weirdo comments, but this guy is more adamant that he can do what I am doing. While I don’t hold a patent on my mission, I do have strict criteria that I adhere to and I think this guy is just a killer, whether or not he has acted yet, I am pretty sure he will. I have attached the info I have on him to the email so you can do some digging yourself. While I have never used your name or even that you work for the FBI in my blog, if you read close enough you can probably tell that I am referring to you. I want to make sure you are safe so please let me know if anything happens on your end. I can’t imagine anyone reading the blog would mess with someone important to me, but you never know. Be safe sweet butterfly.
Love,
Simon”
