Out Of The Blue, Comes You
Chapter One:
*Nikki's POV*
I have been dreading this day since I found out that terrible and yet exciting news that so far has to be the highlight of my life. That bubbly feeling in my stomach making every time my brain begins to think about it, appears a large smile across my pale face.
As I sit in my car, I pull out the keys immdendently cutting out the engine, allowing myself to realise there is no escape and that I have to do what I need to do today. No distractions. I open my brown leather bag, the zip sticking slightly as I force it open, revealing a few items any normal middle aged women would own. I pull out my small compact mirror, opening the plastic case and observe my face for any crumbs remained around my mouth as I have done previous days to this one. The blank, white colour on my face scares me. It's only times like this when my face shows how I feel.
I brace myself, forgetting I am holding my breath as I'm about plunge off a board as the door on my car swings open from the pressure of my hand. I quickly grab my bag in which I pulled onto my seat. Checking my keys was locked up in the secret compartment inside. I remove my pass ready to show the usual guard, Henry at the door of the building. I held out my pass my name was clearly printed 'Nikki Alexander' and the hideous photo was set out next to it. The picture that would remain with me for the rest of my Forensic career and which my boss, Leo only informed me and my other colleague, Harry 10 minutes before and nicely informed us after that we'd keep these for at least the next 30-40years.
I enter our building, instantly recognizing the surrounding space. My desk was the most tidiest in the office where I worked. But when you're competing against Harry you are sure to bet him. There really is no competition against his coffee cups, and scattered paperwork as if he was trying to beat a world record with the most amount of paper that could stay on a desk.
I walk confidently over towards my desk, putting my bag into the middle of desk, quickly removing my phone and checking for any missed calls, any last distraction before I go make possibly the worst and most amazing mistake of my career. I walk loudly over to Leo's office; my heels clicking loudly against the wooden floor that was recently laid down. I knock onto his door and pause. He smiles at me to enter and I do so. One last breathe before I possible ruin every decision I've ever made.
