Chapter 2
It had been 3 days since Harry had been reported missing and Nikki thinks that over the past 24 hours she has been seeing him around the Lyell and she can't talk to anyone about it because she knows that there will think that she is mad. But when she sits down and takes the time to actually think about it, she thinks nothing of when she realises that if he was here in London his car would be in the car park which it is not and that he would of come into the office to see her and if she was not there he would sit and wait until she eventually turned up, so Nikki decided that she was being stupid because his car was not outside and considering that Harry went missing in New York and Nikki was here in London.
That night on her way home, little did Nikki know that she was being followed home. Later that night there is a power cut that affected the whole of her part of London except the Lyell. Once Nikki realised this she began to panic, Nikki was alone in her apartment and was starting to panic (she is petrified of the dark), when she hears footsteps approaching her front door than suddenly they stop and everything went silent. This sudden silence has caused Nikki to panic even more.
All of a sudden she hears a key click in the lock on her front door and footsteps she heard previously are now rapidly approaching her, this causes Nikki to have a panic attack, then suddenly Nikki feels someone put their arms around her waist and place their head on her shoulder and start to pulled to her feet by her waist from behind by this stranger and then this stranger is pulling her into a tight embrace in effort to try and comfort her but this gesture does not it just causes Nikki to panic even more.
All this additional panicking as well as her panic attack had caused Nikki to collapse into this strangers arms who supports her and carries her through to her bedroom where he carefully lays her down onto the bed and then sits beside her and holds her close to him in a tight embrace, soothing her hair and talking to her softly whilst he watches her sleep and waits for her to awake from her slumber.
When Nikki eventually awakes an hour and a half later, she starts to panic when she realises that she is now lying on her bed in a strangers arms and when she tries to free herself from his grasp, he tightens its and holds her close all the while still soothing her hair and talking to her.
As he feels Nikki start to relax into his arms, he slowly releases his grip around her so that she is able to turn in his arms and face him.
