After being kicked out of the interrogation room, Nick wandered the halls. He was still on break, but the snack he'd been eating was most likely gone by now. So he just wandered, trying to sort out this case, get all the information to fit right in a logical puzzle.
He was so distracted, that he only saw the woman coming toward him after they had collided.
"Sorry." He said, standing, and offering her his hand. He helped her up, and she dusted herself off. She was about as tall as he was, with black hair, pulled back tightly in a ponytail. And she looked distinctly out of place. "Do I know you?" He asked, trying to be polite.
"No. I'm new." She said. "It's really difficult to fit in, everyone knows everyone else. Do you know how many people have asked me that same question?"
"What's your name?" He asked, wondering if she would last long.
"Va… nessa. Vanessa." She said. "Nessa for short."
Nick smiled. "Ok, Nessa, I'm Nick. It's nice to meet you." She nodded, and they both went their way.
((A.N. is doing something weird, and all my authors notes are being repeated over and over at the bottom of my chapters. Just ignore that. Can't wait to see your reviews!))
