Nikki’s Townhouse
Nikki had just finished placing her dinner dishes in the dishwasher and was finishing straightening up the kitchen when she heard Simon’s email notification. After wiping her hands and pouring a glass of wine, Nikki opened the email:
“Dear Butterfly,
Thank you for your email, I was hoping the girl would be ok. I can tell you that I’m not ok. Not even close after meeting this….thing. How can someone hurt a child like that? I might have went a little overboard with him, but I just couldn’t help it. I kept picturing my unborn child at the hands of this sick bastard and, well I am sure you read the post.
I have also been thinking about us. Everything I have said to you Nikki I truly meant, but after what just happened, I am sure that you couldn’t be with someone like me, someone capable of doing what I did. I think you are too good of a person and it would eventually hurt you in ways that I certainly don’t intend or want, but will hurt you nonetheless. I can’t be the cause of anything that will bring pain into your life, I respect you too much for that.
Nikki, send your team to the attached address in Frederick MD and look for a black and gold Peterbilt truck, you can’t miss it! You tell your team that you were able to get this information from me because you are Special Agent Monique Sebastian and that is what you do! I hope this helps keep your people off your back for at least a little while.
Be well Butterfly.
Love,
Simon”
As Nikki finished reading the email, she felt like someone just kicked her in the stomach. She felt like she just got dumped on the night of the prom. What the heck is wrong with her she thought even though she knew exactly what was wrong. She had real feelings for Simon and him trying to stay away from her to protect her just made her want him more. Nikki knows in her heart of hearts that Simon is really a decent man underneath all of the rage…and homicidal tendencies. What the heck is she thinking, she is in love with a serial killer.
