"I'll see you soon, I promise," the girl on the TV screen said. Tommy was sitting in the living room of his home watching a movie with his best friend Haley.

"That's the last thing I said to Nikki before she left for London," Tommy suddenly spoke.

"You've been thinking about her a lot lately," Haley remarked.

"I can't help it, I mean it's like she's fallen off the face of the earth or something," Tommy replied.

"Tommy don't get started on this again, you searched every where for Nikki after you got back but there doesn't seem to be any trace of her," Haley said.

"And you don't find that a bit odd?" Tommy questioned.

"It is weird I'll admit that but Nikki was really devastated when we all thought you had died on that island with Anton, I'm sure her disappearance had something to do with that," Haley told him.

"I get that she was devastated but even so why would she just leave her position as head of the European division of Mercer Industries, it was like her dream job," Tommy said.

"No her dream job was becoming your wife, she told me that after learning the news of your death," Haley revealed.

"All the more reason for me to believe that she didn't disappear willingly, someone out there knows exactly what happened to her and I'm going to get some answers," Tommy said getting up from the couch.

"Tommy, wait where are you going?" Haley asked as he started putting on his shoes and then grabbed his car keys.

"To see the one person who cared about Nikki as much as I did," he said walking out the front door

"If Anton knew anything about what happened to her, don't you think he would have told you by now," Haley called after him as she stood in the doorway.

"Anton wasn't exactly himself when he showed up in Reefside, so if he did have any information on Nikki I'm sure Mesogog wouldn't have let him tell me anyway," Tommy said getting inside his car.

"Yes, who is it?" a voice said as Tommy pushed the intercom button outside the gate of the Mercer mansion.

"Dr. Tommy Oliver, I'm here to speak to Anton," Tommy said and the gate was opened.

He drove up the circular driveway, parked his car and made his way to the front door.

"Hello Tommy," a woman greeted as he was led into living room by a maid.

"Marriage agrees with you," Tommy said smiling at Elsa Randall who had recently become Elsa Mercer.

"I understand you want to see Anton," Elsa said as he sat down in a chair across from her.

"Yeah, I'd like to talk to him about something," Tommy told her.

"He's been holed up in his office all morning but I'm sure he'd be willing to take a break for an old friend," Elsa replied.

"I'd really appreciate it," Tommy said.

"I'll be right back," Elsa said leaving the room.

"I understand you need to talk to me about something," Anton said as Tommy entered his office.

"I'm going shopping for awhile, it was nice seeing you again Tommy," Elsa said giving her husband a quick kiss before leaving the two in private.

"We've been meaning to have you over for dinner but just haven't found the time," Anton said gesturing to Tommy to have a seat.

"If you don't mind Anton, I'd like to skip the small talk and get straight to business," Tommy told him.

"Of course Tommy, exactly what kind of business is it that you have with me," Anton said.

"It's about someone from my past, both of our pasts actually, and I need your help in finding her," Tommy began.

"Your referring to Nicole Hunter aren't you," Anton said knowing that the day would eventually come.

"You don't seem all that surprised that I'm here asking you about her," Tommy concluded.

"Well she is the only person who's in both our pasts, so I just naturally assumed," Anton told him.

"She left for London to head up the European division of your company and then for some unknown reason she disappeared six months later and no one seems to know what happened to her," Tommy replied.

"And you think I know what happened is that it," Anton said.

"I know that you keep a very close eye on all of your employees, so yes I think you know what happened to her," Tommy replied.

"Alright Tommy, I guess I do owe you an explanation especially after all you've done for me," Anton said.

"So then you do know what happened to her," Tommy said.

"Six months after everyone thought that you and I had both died on that island, I went to London, I didn't want anyone to know that I was alive just yet but for some reason I felt compelled to go and see Nikki," Anton said.

"Why her, of all the people to reveal yourself to why her first," Tommy asked.

"Because I was in love with her and I thought that you were the one who had died," Anton revealed.

"So you went there in the hopes that she would turn to you for comfort," Tommy said.

"Yes, but Nikki was just too devastated by the news of your death, she took offense at my coming on to her," Anton replied.

"Wait a second, you came on to my fiancée when she was mourning my death," Tommy said becoming angry.

"In my defense, I wasn't entirely in control of my actions at that time," Anton told him.

"Ok so Nikki was angry at you for making a pass at her but that still doesn't explain why she would just disappear," Tommy replied.

"Tommy, when Nikki refused to even consider moving on with me I became angry and before I could do anything to stop it, I transformed right before her eyes," Anton informed him.

"Nikki, saw you turn into Mesogog?" Tommy asked.

"Yes, but I didn't hurt her, I swear, that much I do remember," Anton told him.

"Then what did you do?" Tommy asked.

"Mesogog did try and attack her but she knew how to defend herself; she knocked me down and ran out of the room, when I woke up I was back to normal and Nikki was gone but she was alive, I swear the last time I saw her she was running out of the room in fear for her life but she was alive," Anton explained.

"Didn't you try to find her?" Tommy questioned.

"I was afraid it would arouse too much suspicion, Nikki had her secretary type out a letter of resignation, she quit her job at Mercer Industries and she didn't leave an forwarding address, I'm sure she was just in fear of the monster that I had become and she wanted to make sure that I couldn't ever find her," Anton told him.

"She made certain no one could," Tommy remarked.

"Yes she did, but I've got enough money to hire the best investigators in the world, if you want her found they will find her," Anton replied.

"Why are you so willing to help me find a woman you wanted for yourself?" Tommy asked.

"Because I'm not that same man that I was all those years ago, you know that Tommy, I should have told you all this the moment I arrived in Reefside but Mesogog was controlling me so much back then that I couldn't think for myself, I've changed and I've got a wife who makes me happier than I've been in a long time so the least I could do is help you find that same kind of happiness," Anton informed him.

"I want to know the minute your people find out anything," Tommy said.
