Nikki couldn't believe it, she was about to finally crack open the case wide open, all she needed was this 'friend' to help her out and she can put Tanner's murderer away for good. Grinning hugely she turned the radio station to 104.7 K-Duc knowing it'll piss Hank off, taking a sip of the hot chocolate she bought on the way she pulled into Powell's bookstore. Since it was still early there weren't many people here, but once lunch hour comes it'll be packed like usual. She just sat in the car, heater on high as she took a huge gulp before putting it back down when she surveyed the area. All there was were a few minivan's, a BMW and a black jeep that looked familiar but shook it off when she saw a figure head towards her. Getting out and making sure her gun was secured, Nikki stepped onto the pavement and walked to the front of Hank's car and leaned against it, hands in her pocket,
"Detective Burkhardt?" the voice was male, soft and gentle,
"Yeah, that's me, so, you want to tell me what happened?" she asked, for some reason she suddenly felt like this was a bad idea being out in the open like this, they needed cover, dread filled her stomach as the man took a few steps toward her. She could see some dark colored hair and part of his chin, it was covered lightly in the five 'o' clock shadow.
"Yeah, I'll tell you everything, after you come with me for a bit" Nikki frowned, hearing footsteps behind her she turned, blue grey eyes widened as she was struck painfully in the head, knocking her out, her last thought before unconsciousness took over was Monroe's face, angry and stern at her for doing something so dangerous without him. She sure was going to be bitched at later for this.
