This story takes place after the episode "Wrapped." It is basically what I felt Henry, Vicki, Mike and Coreen were thinking after what happened in that episode.
Characters thoughts are in italics.

Vicki was trying to focus on her latest case but her mind kept drifting to Henry's last words.
"And I wish I could forgive you."
Then he sped away. She had not seen him since.
It had only been a couple of days. Henry couldn't stay mad at her forever. He just needed some time. He'd be back. He had to be.
The phone rang jarring Vicki from her thoughts.
"Vicki Nelson Investigations," Coreen answered the phone from the other room.
"Vicki, it's Mrs. Henderson."
"Hi, Mrs. Henderson. Your case is coming along fine. Do I have any proof that your husband is cheating on you? I am still working on that. I'll make sure that I give you a call as soon as I have something. Bye."
"Coreen, could you bring me the Henderson file?"
Coreen had not been her usual perky self since Pachacamac. She was probably still feeling guilty about what we did. What I did.
Coreen brought in the folder.
"Thank you, Coreen."
It was just another normal day at Vicki Nelson Investigations. Maybe normal was best. Vicki knew that normal would not last too long. It never did.
