I know this chapter is rather confusing, so in the part where it's italicized, it's Peter talking to Tracy in his head. Tracy is working with Parkman, obviously, but since her voice sounds like Niki's, and she looks like Niki, Peter thought that Tracy was Niki. Kind of confusing, and also when Matt tries to hear Tracy's thoughts, Peter blocks him out of her head so Matt wouldn't be able to hear Peter. And Hiro and Peter calling Tracy "Niki", because they think that she really is Niki. They never met Tracy, I grant you. Sorry for the confusion. Any questions? Ask away

.

Hiro teleported them to Odessa, Texas at around 9am, when he found Peter outside a hospital in Vegas drinking a Red Bull. When they got there, Peter had become invisible, and as long as Hiro kept a hand on his shoulder, he would be invisible too. Peter kept his mind wide open as they walked quickly in front of the Burnt Toast diner. He skimmed the minds of those around them, quickly and cautiously. He stopped when he heard a familiar voice come into mind.

One bullet in the gut, one between the eyes. One bullet in the gut, one between the eyes. He turned around a few times, just to make sure he wasn't going crazy. He heard… Niki. Peter clenched his fists, to keep the electricity invisible. If it got out of hand, he wouldn't be able to stay out of sight. Hiro nudged Peter and he turned to see Niki and, Parkman? Parkman looked the same, gray hair, stern grin and a gun in his pants holster. Peter was just surprised to see Niki. It could've been Jessica, because her hair was shorter, she wore expensive clothing, and had sunglasses on the top of her head. She had bangs she kept to the side, and for a split second he could've thought she saw him. He decided to talk to her, but knew it would be risky with Parkman right next to her. He put a thought, or rather, a question into her head.

Niki what are you doing here? Peter and Hiro watched her look curiously around, then at Parkman, who looked forward.

Matt? Niki looked up at Matt and he half smiled at her as he continued to look forward, obviously searching for Peter and Hiro.

No. I know Matt can hear me. What are you doing with him? How did you find me? Hiro sighed, realizing what Peter was doing as he continued to stare at Niki.

What the hell are you talking about, Parkman?

Cut the crap, Nik. What are you doing?

Did you just call me Niki?

Why, do you like to be called Jessica? Peter smirked at her, knowing she couldn't see it.

Who are you talking about?

You haven't been around in awhile, 5 years. Leave Niki alone, I don't want to have another talk with you again. Stay away from Grace, too.

Who's Grace?

You've got to be kidding me, Jessica. You honestly don't know who Grace is? My daughter, Niki's daughter.

I'm Tracy, not Jessica or Niki or whoever you're talking of. I have no idea who you're talking about. Tell me, Parkman.

Tracy? You're not Jessica?

"Parkman, what the hell are you doing? Who's Jessica?" Matt glanced over to her, with his usually confused looking face.

"What are you talking about?" He tried to read her mind, and Peter took great joy in blocking him out of Niki's head. Parkman stopped struggling as he stared at Niki. "Why can't I hear you?"

"How am I supposed to know?" Niki said angrily. Peter dug into her head.

He got Tracy Strauss, Tracy Strauss, Tracy Strauss, and politics, Nathan Petrelli, her job with Parkman. But nothing on Niki. Peter didn't understand. She talked like Niki, looked exactly like Niki, but she was not the woman he loved. He looked over to a confused Hiro, and thought he should tell him that she wasn't Niki, or even Jessica. And that she was working with Parkman to kill them.

Peter opened the door of the Burnt Toast Diner and Hiro, with his hand on Peter's shoulder, followed. Matt felt around in his pocket for his gun, and Tracy did the same as they watched the door mysteriously open, then close just like that. Matt suddenly understood why he couldn't hear Tracy's thoughts. Peter, and with Peter, Hiro should follow. Game time. He pulled out the gun and Tracy held a tazer gun as Matt kicked the door to open and they came in. Everyone in the small diner screamed and hid for cover. Tracy scanned everyone, looking for Claire. Looking for Peter, Hiro. Anyone. All she found were a group of terrified citizens and Noah Bennet, casually sipping coffee, who looked up for a moment to smile at the two. Matt couldn't believe it. 18 hours of driving, becoming so close to finally stopping Hiro Nakamura, only to have Peter come in and make him invisible. Great. How would he explain this to Nathan?
