Chapter 9: home
On the ride to the old spice shop Nick was restless as if he was trying to the antidote that was currently trying to work its way around his system. Mia nervously sat in the back with him as she regularly checked his pulse that was slowing down, the fact that his touch was becoming colder and colder to her didn't do anything for her nerves. She was thankful when they finally arrived at the shop, Hank and Monroe carried Nick inside then laid him on the bed in the back room while Roselee grabbed the spare antidote that she had made just in case they needed more then injected Nick with it. As soon as he was giving the second dose he seemed to calm down, now things had slowed down the reality of the situation seemed to sink as they began to deal with the fact that it Eric who had caused all of things. After promising to take care of his brother Renard left to go back to the prescient, Hank went out to get everyone some food.
" hey Mia put this on you head, I'm worried about the swelling plus it looks like you're going to have a nasty bruise for a while" Rosalee said handing her an ice pack before heading towards Monroe to begin to clean his cuts
" how are you going to explain it to the people in you school?" Monroe asked worried that someone might think the worst of her, it wasn't her fault that some power hungry royal messed around with their lives
" I'll just say I was attacked by those junky people that were attacking everyone downtown, it doesn't matter since school is off for a few days plus I've got bigger things to worry about right now" she said pushing the food aside as she made her way towards Nick who was still passed out on the bed
"He'll be fine Mia, I mean the fact that he had to doses of the antidote means it was work better. I just can't believe the royals would do this so publicly" Rosalee said trying to comfort the younger girl, she knew if their roles were reversed and it was Monroe lying on that bed Mia would do the same for her
"if the royals are going to this extent to get a grimm..." Monroe said as he eat the Chinese food that Hank had brought back with him, he was interrupted as Rosalee began to clean his cuts
" this might hurt a little" she said pre warning him before she applied the alcohol to his cuts, she was just thankful that his wounds weren't any worse than they were
" or a lot, I'm not kidding that really hurts" he said pulling for her as she gave him a look, Mia liked it when they were this way with each other it was how she knew that her big brother had finally found the woman of his dreams
" sorry that cut is a little deep" she said trying hard not to laugh at the fact that this was the man that went into a barn to fight a crazed infected Nick without showing any signs of fear but was now complaining about her cleaning one of his cuts
" well I didn't know that until now, ok let me have it"he said preparing himself as she silently chucked at him while Hank began to think things over, Mia was sitting on the bed next to Nick as she gently swept the hair out of his eyes
"that's what I'm thinking, if they were willing to do what they did then there must be some serious stuff in the works" Hank said returning to their previous conversation as if the thing between Monroe and Rosalee never happened
"yeah me too, they risked exposure and the wrath of the council because there is no way that they missed this" Mia said wondering what was going to happen now since neither party was going to forget about this
"will the council do anything since it's the royals who planned it and everything?" Hank asked still unsure of how things worked in the wesen world, he was still new at all of this
"not to the full extent that one of us would if we done something like this, most likely they will hold a meeting concerning the situation and they'll eventually come to some kind understanding" she said trying to hide her anger at the power playing games that both the council and the royals played
" so Eric won't actually be punished for what he's done?" Monroe asked wondering how it seemed fair to punish an eight old for accidentally exposing the wesen world but not to punish someone who did it on purpose simply because of who his parents were
" no probably not... Nick, can you hear me? Guys he's waking up" Mia gently said hoping that she was right and not reading to much into every slight action he did in hoping that he would wake up soon
"hey nick!" Hank called as he and the other began to make their way towards them, he took this as a sign that maybe all of this was finally over
" can you hear us?" Monroe asked trying to remember what happened when Al woke up after having the antidote in his system so that he would know what to expect
"what's going on? what are you doing?" he asked Mia as she gently took hold of his wrist, he was confused about everything since his memories of the last few hours were still hazy
"I'm checking your pulse" she said after trying to think of a better way of describing the fact that she wanted to check that he was still alive
" why?" he asked wondering why she would need to check his pulse, he knew that Mia could weird sometimes but this was a whole new level of weird
" well that kinda has a long story attached to it" Monroe said when he saw that his sister was struggling of a way to briefly sum up the state he was due to being infected
"what's going on? why am I handcuffed?" he said once he realised that he was attached to the bed when he tried to sit up, to him none of this made sense
" yeah we didn't want to you fall over" Hank said telling a half truth, he didn't know to word the fact that they had handcuffed to the bed for his safety as well as theirs
"ok that's a bad headache, how did I get here?" he asked after trying to move again but this time the pain went straight to his head
" we brought you here... how do you feel?" Mia asked wanting to get away for the hows and why just now, all she cared about was how he was
" I'm sore... kind of everywhere" he told her after trying to pinpoint where the pain was coming from exactly but realised every part of him was in pain
" but you look a lot better" Monroe said in his typical Monroe way, in his head he was comparing how he looked as a zombie to how he was now
" a lot better" Hank said in agreement, this was the first time that he had seen Rosalee's antidote in action since he had missed Al's transition and her curing the storage unit full of people
" where you all in an accident?" Nick asked realising that everyone but Rosalee had cuts and bruises and they all looked exhausted, Nick gently touched the bruise that was beginning to form on Mia's chin
"of a sorts" Monroe said looking at Hank for some help in explaining what had happened to them all, he didn't want to just blurt out the fact that Nick had attacked them
" you don't remember anything?"Hank asked wanting to see how much he already knew then decided that they would fill in the missing pieces from there
" you got cast off" he said leaning over to one side of the bed to see that Hank didn't have cast on anymore or have his crutches with him like he had done in the last few days
"you remember that?" he said happy since that happened right before Nick found the Cracher-Mortel, it mean he was only missing the things that zombie Nick had done
" I remember you saying you were going" he said distantly as he recalled their conversation about Hank getting his freedom back once he was out of his cast
" what's the last thing you remember?" Rosalee asked realising that they were just wasting time delaying telling what seemed to be unavoidable, he had a right to know what happened to him
"I'm not really sure" he said trying to put the piece of puzzle together in his head, he had fragments of memories but it was like they were of someone's life
"we were at the shipping yard" Monroe said trying to prompt him to see what he could remember, they needed to learn full depths of his side effects from both being infected and having two doses of the antidote
" yeah I remember that, we found stuff that was happening and you had medicine but we were separated and I was chasing somebody" he said being able to see it all happening in his head but couldn't focus on the person's face
" Baron..." Hank said as he beginning to fill in the blank which was of their recent suspect in creating the zombie, however Nick interrupted him as he figured it out
" Samedi, the guy with the hat" he said as the man began to come into focus in his head, he was able to recall everything he had learned about the baron up to that point
" the hat dude, you got it" Monroe said thinking maybe positive encouragement was all that was needed for him to get everything back
" I was chasing him and then we fell and I found a passport with my photo but someone else's name... Thomas something and that's pretty much it. I must've gotten hit but I'm guessing you guys found me and brought me right?" he said seeing it all playing out in his head till it all came to a sudden screen of darkness, he was trying his hardest to explain all of this to himself
"Nick..." Mia began to say before she cut herself off, she wanted so badly to be able to tell him that his version of things was right, that he simply got knocked out but that wasn't the truth
" or maybe not, am I missing something out?" he asked he could tell from the way everyone was acting that they were holding something back from him, they seemed to be walking on eggshells around him
" Mia, I think you should be the one to tell him" Rosalee said knowing that it would be harder for Mia to tell him but she was the only one that he wouldn't think was lying to him or was messing around
" I blew didn't I? or I screwed it up and they got away?" he asked trying to explain what could have happened that cause them all to look like they had been an accident of some kind
" no Nick there's much more to it than that" Mia said wishing that it was that simple, she hated to be the one to break his little fantasy that seemed to so much nicer than the reality of it
" so just tell me" he said wanting to know what they knew, he hated that they were to sugar coat it all and avoid actually telling him what had happened
" he ummm he got you like he got the other, see" she said lifting his top up to reveal the six puncture marks just above his belly bottom, she knew the evidence was harder to argue with
after that they decided to unlock the handcuffs that were keeping him confined to the bed since they now knew that he wasn't a threat to them anymore. Mia began to explain everything that happened from the moment that the baron had infected Nick with the help of the others who filled in the blanks that she didn't know. She could tell that it was all becoming to much for him to hear as he began to pace near the end of their story, he couldn't believe that he had done those things. When they had finished Mia decided to make some tea for everyone so that her hands and mind were both distracted, Monroe and Rosalee were now on the couch while Hank stood by the door and Mia stood by the counter where they created the antidote when she was finished handing out the tea to everyone. This gave Nick the middle of the floor to pace as he tried to work everything out in his head
" at least no one was really hurt, I mean really hurt badly" Monroe said thinking it might give some kind of comfort to know that everyone who came into contact with zombie Nick was going to be okay
"you scared a few people" Rosalee said then wondered if that was the right thing to say or not, she thought it might help him a little
"yeah you defiantly did that" Hank said thinking he probably scared more than a few including the people that were currently in the room with Nick
" well it's not you knew what you were doing Nick, you don't even remember" Mia said feeling like he couldn't be blamed for the things that he had done last night when it was really Eric and the baron who were at fault
"being under the influence isn't a very good defence" he said knowing that people had used that one before so many times and never once had it helped anyone he had arrested
" being under the influence of what you were under influence of is different" Hank said thinking it wasn't some that he took willingly or something that he could have fought while it was still in his system
"how do we explain that?" Nick said thinking that people would have seen him and would therefore be able to identify him as the man that attacked them and created the riot
" you don't have to, we kind of had it explained to us in a very physical ay which I don't think you want to share with anyone else" Monroe said referring to the fact that he attacked just everyone in the room including Mia, although no one had told him about that just yet
" I'm sorry" Nick said trying to sum up how bad he felt that he had attacked the same people that were willing to up against the royals despite knowing they had no chance of winning just for him
"I think after everything you've gone through since last night you need a lot of sleep so why don't I drive you home" Mia said as she grabbed her things from the chair that they were currently laying on
"yeah you could really use some down time" Hank said thinking after being so active for so long that his body was probably crying out for him to stop and nap
"I think we could use some down time" Rosalee said knowing that they had all been running around last night trying to save Nick without really thinking about themselves
" ain't that the truth, I'll call you guys and let you know how things are okay?" Mia said after Nick had went into the main part of the shop, she knew that they would all worry about him later
Nick had went straight to where Mia's car was parked, the mechanic had finished with it yesterday but she had forgotten about it due to everything else that had happened. Throughout the whole car ride to Nick's house they were both quiet since they were trying to deal, Nick couldn't believe that he had done those things and he knew that they were trying to make him better but that didn't make any less real. Mia used the spare set of keys that now lived in her bag to get into Nick's place, she gently placed her bag and jacket on one of the chairs by the door since she wasn't planning to stay long then went into the kitchen.
"thank god that's all over with, I'm glad you're okay now and safe" she said turning around to him as he took his jacket off and hanged on the coat stand by the door then headed to the kitchen
" yeah me too, I just feel like sleeping for a year or so" he said as he stifled a yawn so that Mia wouldn't think she was boring him but she simply chuckled slightly as she ran her hand through his hair
" why don't you go upstairs and get into bed while I make some tea for us? you need to rest" she said softly she could see that he was fighting the urge to sleep but she knew that they all needed to recover from last night's events
"I'd rather not do that alone, are you staying?" he asked since he didn't want to just assume that she was only for her to say something different
" I actually was going to head home for a bit and let you sleep a little longer" she said wishing that she could just switch her brain off for five minutes to stop her self from over thinking too much
" I'll sleep a lot longer with you lying in the bed next to me, come on you need to sleep just as much as me. You take care of me and I take care of you, thats how it go" he said trying to convince her to stay as he wrapped his arms around her to pull her in for a hug
" fine I guess you're right but just let me make the tea first before I come up otherwise I'll never shut my brain up, why don't you head upstairs and wait for me in bed?" she said knowing that sleep wasn't going to be an easy thing for her
Once Nick was asleep Mia got up from the bed and went for a shower so that she could wash away everything that happened in the last 48 hours, when she was finished she wrapped a towel around her body and headed into the bedroom to look for something to wear in her drawer. She decided to dress for comfort more than anything else so she wore a pair of ripped boyfriend jeans, a owl print T-shirt, a pair of white converse and a grey hoodie. She wore light eye make up and light beige lip gloss since she wasn't in the mood to anymore than that, she decided to just brush her out and let it dry to its normal wavy state. Mia then went to lie back down with Nick when her phone began to vibrate showing Hank's name on the screen. When she ended the call with Hank Mia grabbed her keys, phone and brown biker jacket before writing Nick a note with an excuse about going to see Monroe and that she would be back soon. When Mia got to the spice shop she saw that everyone was already there including Renard.
" hey so what's the problem?" Mia asked when she came in, she wondered if things were ever allowed to just be ok or if something always had to be happening
" one of the men that Nick fought in the bar has died" Renard told her since Hank and Monroe both looked at him to signal that he was the one who should tell her, Monroe didn't with what he was suggesting
"he wasn't himself" Monroe said to Mia, he didn't want her to be scared of him now that he had killed someone who was innocent
"it doesn't matter, you can't defend what you can't explain" Hank said knowing that if they tried to explain what Nick under the influence with then a judge would probably have them all committed
" so Nick is a murder?" Mia asked as the news finally sunk in for her, being a killer was something that she had be fighting with her whole life since her kind saw it as a part of who they were
" technically, so far no one knows it was Nick in the bar" Hank said he could see that Mia was struggling with this, it was the definition of the phrase being between a rock and a hard place
" the man responsible for the death has been identified as Thomas Schirach" Renard said informing them of the cover story that he told the detective on the case and the men that they had met last night like the bartender and the man in the house
" which works for me since I don't think we can blame Nick for what happened, he was poisoned he would have died" Rosalee said thinking that it was outrageous to blame Nick when it was someone else's plan and someone else who had poisoned him
"as long as they are looking for Thomas Schirach then Nick in the clear, ironically the false identity that my brother created to sneak Nick out of the country is actually working in her our favour" he said reminding everyone who was really to blame, it made Mia remember the very reason she decided to run away from the council
"what if they see Nick on the CCTV recordings?" Mia asked knowing that last night one of the police said that there was none found yet but she knew that could have changed since then
" so far none has been found, two detectives have been assigned to the case and from the police reports they're going to know that there were two women with me that night and they are going to want to talk to all of us" he told them as he watched Mia process this piece of information, every time he met her he became more curious about her and her connections to the wesen world
" I know what we should tell them" Rosalee said as something came to mind, she knew that if they were going to do this then she needed to in control of it
" yeah and it's definitely not the the truth" Monroe said as he ran a hand across his chin as he felt how scratchy his beard was, he knew that there was a fine thing with what they were doing
"ok so we come with a cover up story to tell these guys and what just stick to the facts?" Mia asked trying to work what she needed to know to play her part in all of this, she felt like her mind was going to so fast
" Mia, before you say yes to this think it about it first ok? I mean are you sure you're ok with this?" Monroe asked her as he walked closer to her, he knew this a subject close to her heart and something that she had lots of views on
" I'm not okay with the alternative which is Nick going to jail for something he wasn't control of and more to the point doesn't remember so yeah I'm all good with the plan, what happens if he finds out?" she said knowing that she would do anything if it meant protect Nick from this or anything really but she also knew that he wouldn't agree with this
"Hopefully he throws us a little party."Monroe said feeling that this point they defiantly deserved one after everything they had done over the last few days to not only protect Nick but the other people that were infected
"he's not going to find out, at least not for a little while. Listen we all need to stick to three facts we were chasing down infected suspects. One of them was identified as Thomas Schirach and you two were there because you have a treatment that was effective" he said giving them the highlights of their story as Mia and Rosalee took it all in
" ok that seems easy enough, I mean some it's even true but that's how you tell the best lies right by sticking to the truth" Mia said realising that despite being ok with this, she was worried about everything else
" yeah all we need to do now is work out the details because that is how you get caught" Renard told them as Hank agreed knowing that's how he had caught people out on a lie in the past during a case
Later that night Mia got changed for bed as she wore a pair blue sleeper shorts with flowers on them and a pink striped tank, she left her blue cardigan on the chair in the room where her phone was charging. She slipped into bed next to Nick who had been asleep ever since he got into bed which isn't surprising after everything he put his body through, soon her head hit the pillow she fell into a restless sleep where she was woke every hour or so. Eventually she decided to just stay awake as she turned to her side to look at Nick as she went to touch her cheek gently to stroke it she realised that something was off since his skin was as cold as ice. Mia sat up on the bed and switched the lamp that was on the bedside table next to her side on and that was when she noticed that Nick had zero colour, there was no rosy cheeks or pink skin.
" Nick? Nick?! NICK!...please come on, wake up... Nick come on wake up...oh god no please don't do this!" Mia said as she tried everything she could think of to wake him up like slapping him and shaking him then decided to run and pull on her cardigan as she dialled 911
" what time is it? who are you calling?" Nick asked as he suddenly woke up as the colour returned to him, he woke to find Mia kneeling on the bed as the tear began to fall down her cheeks. He noticed that she looked terrified as she waited for whoever was on the other line to pick up
" Nick?" she asked unsure if this was a trick that her mind was playing on her, she knew that if you wanted something to happen so badly that your mind sometimes played it out when it wasn't real
" what's wrong?" he asked as he sat up slightly, he began to worry in all the time that he had been with Mia he rarely saw her cry or seen show any signs of weakness and now she looked scared and so breakable
" how do you feel?" she asked carefully after hanging up the phone to the emergency services, she pulled her sleeves over her hand as sank down on the bed slightly but by no means relaxed
" fine I guess expect my face hurts a little" he said confused as he rubbed his cheeks where Mia had slapped him several times as she tried to wake him up
" yeah that'll be because I slapped you hard...oh god Nick you need to go and see a doctor" she said slumping back so that she was now sitting with her legs in a basket as she wiped her tears away
"you slapped me in my sleep? why? why are you doing that? I feel fine" he said when he noticed that she was checking for his pulse again, none of this was making sense to him
" because you didn't look fine when you were sleeping Nick!" she said letting out all of her panic, she felt stupid that she actually believed that all of this was over
" Well, how did I look?" he asked her he could tell that something was going on with her, he could tell that much from just watching her as she ran a hand through her hair
"You looked dead and I don't just mean like dead on your feet tried, I mean like dead as a door nail dead" she said putting extra emphasise to the dead so that he would know that she wasn't messing around
" what do you mean dead?" he asked wondered sitting up properly now that he was fully awake, he tried to take all of this in as he tried to work out what was going on
" when I touched you your skin was stone cold and you didn't have a pulse, I mean just know when I checked your pulse it was still really slow. Are you sure you feel okay?" she asked as slumped back as she repositioned herself so that she was now sitting with her legs in a basket
Well, I did until you told me I was dead." he said as the ends of his mouth curled up slightly to show signs of a mouth to try and lighten the mood a little
" I'm serious ok? please go and see a doctor for me because I promise you that I will not let this go" she said as he reached to cup her face as a way to bring her closer, he needed the fun and light Mia back
"I'm guessing a history teacher doesn't count, come on I'm just trying to get my heart rate up" he said as he pulled her for a kiss, although he feel how tense and stressed out she was throughout the kiss
" Nick you really scared me..." she said a single tear fell down her cheek again, only this time Nick caught it as it fell and wiped it away as if it never happened
" hey I'm sorry but I really do feel fine and if it makes you fell better then I will go and see a doctor ok? what can I do to make you feel better?" he asked knowing that he had to switch the attention from him to her, he needed to make it up to her since it felt that he was always pulling her into his mess
" just hold me close please?" she asked him gently as he lay back down onto the pillows as he tapped his chest to gesture for her to lie down on top of him like she did and he began to run his hand through her hair it got tangled in her curls
Soon they both fell in a peaceful sleep till the morning where Mia woke up and began to replay last night's events in her head, everything seemed to going around in a loop with no way of ending it. Mia knew from the smell of the freshly made coffee that Nick was downstairs so she decided to gets dressed as fast as she could before anything happened. Mia dressed in a pair of jeans, a white vest top, a green asymmetric hem jumper and a pair of brown boots. She pinned the front of her hair up and then gathered the rest of her hair into a hair ponytail, she placed a line of eyeliner on the top of her eyelids and put on light pink lipstick. Mia put on all of her jewellery on before heading down the stairs to find Nick with a cup of coffee as he sat on the couch reading a book. Mia went to grab a cup of coffee as her phone began to ring as Rosalee's name showed up on the screen
"hey... how did it go?...did they believe you?... ummm Rose I need to go someone's at the door, yeah I'm thinking that too" Mia said as Rosalee filled her in on what happened between her and the detectives that came to interview her as she ended the call to see who was at the door
" hey guys what are you doing here?"Nick asked as he opened the door to see two detectives from his prescient, they looked like they in full cop mood but he had no clue why
"we're looking Amelia... I have no clue how to pronounce her last name, here" the detective said as he showed him the name he had written down so that Nick would know who they were talking about
" oh she's your girlfriend? we didn't put two and two together" said the other detective as he realised that Mia must have been the mystery woman they saw at the prescient with him the other day before everything kicked off
" is Emilia here? we've already tried her apartment but this was given as a second address for her" he said knowing that they had show Nick some professional courtesy but at the end of the day they had a job to and an investigation to solve
" is there a problem?" Nick asked wondering why they would be looking for Mia, he tried to think of reasons but came up blank
" not for her, the captain gave us her name as a possible witness to a bar fight" he told him so that Nick would know not to get on the defence
" you want to talk to her about a bar fight?" Nick repeated as he felt the edges of his memory being triggered as it reminded him of something familiar
" yeah well one of the men in the fight died, its just a couple of questions it won't take long" he said wondering why Nick hadn't let them inside yet but was instead questioning them on why they were there
"when did he die?" Nick asked wanting to know if his gut and his memory was right, although he hoped with every fibre of his being that he was wrong
" in the hospital after the fight I guess he was beat pretty badly, anyway now its a murder and we got it but its better than those crazies you were dealing with" the other detectives said feeling that they had went around in a loop and had arrived back to the reason of why they were there
" Hi I'm Emilia but I go by Mia, I'll answer your questions" she said trying to appear cool and collected as she smiled as a form of a welcome as she stepped aside to allow them inside as Nick headed into the couch
"you were there with police captain Sean Renard?" he asked as Mia showed them to where the living room was and then gestured for them to take a seat as they began to write everything down
" yes I was" she said trying to keep calm, her nerves were recked despite the fact that everything so far was true
" ever hear of a Thomas Scharich?" one of the detective asked her as he read the name that was written on his notepad
"yeah I believe he was the one that they thought was responsible for the bar fight" she said sticking to the facts and the details that they had all agreed on at the spice shop
" and what were you doing there?" he asked wondering why a teacher would be involved with trying to cure and control the crazies that were causing mayhem throughout the city
"we were attempting to help control the outbreak, the woman I was with was familiar with antidote that was used to cure everyone of the disease and we told that there was someone there who could have been infected" she said hoping that it all made sense like it did in her head
" did you ever get a look at the suspect?" they asked since no one else that they had talked to hadn't been able to give them a detail description of their suspect
" no I'm sorry but he was gone by the time I got there" she said playing with her necklace, she knew that Nick was probably listening as a cup broke breaking the silence
" Sorry guys, I guess I have a stronger grip than I thought" Nick said as he shook his hand out since it was covered in hot coffee
" you okay?" she asked getting up from her chair, she briefly wondered if he had entered that death like state again like he had last night
"yeah I just broke a coffee cup" he said as he bent down and began to pick up the broken pieces of the cup as well as clean the mess up
"well we're done here but be careful with that coffee cup Burkhart it might be loaded, wouldn't want you to get burned" one of the detective said as they put away their note pads and pen as they got up from the couch
"I'll see you out" Mia said as she walked the detectives to the door and saw them out before returning to the living room where Nick was waiting for her
"someone died in that bar fight and why didn't you tell me ?!" Nick demanded to know as soon as she had reentered the room, he hated to she kept this from him when she was the one person he could trust to tell him the truth
"you didn't know what you were doing ok? you weren't yourself and I knew you would do this, blame yourself something that happened as a result of being infected" she said knowing it was what she would in his place
" it doesn't matter, if I killed someone then I have to turn myself in" he said trying to make her understand that he was to blame and he caused this man to die no matter the circumstances
"Nick it wasn't just me ok? we all agreed on a story" she said trying to make him see sense and that if he turned him self down then he would be taking them down with him
" who agreed?" he asked wanting to know who else knew about this as well as were covering up the truth for him
" take a guess? Me, Monroe, Rosalee, Hank and Renard, actually it was his idea" she said as a side bar note, she was too exhausted to get upset so instead her feelings were turning into anger
"so you're all lying?" he said showing her that he wasn't the least bit happy with their decision to cover up the truth for him, he was a ruler follower and a do gooder
" to protect you!" she said to make the point of it all clear in case he had missed it, she wanted him to see the bigger picture at play
" you can't do that, I killed someone and you more than anyone should know how this feels" he said knowing that they had had conversations about her feelings on murder and her people's traditions
" Nick that isn't the same thing and you know, if you turn yourself in then you'll be throwing us under the bus too and then we'll all be in trouble... Nick?" she said as he stormed out of the house as he took his keys with him as she sent a quick text to Hank
Mia spent the next few hours checking the news for any urgent reports about a detective turning themselves in for a murder that happened during a bar fight but nothing appeared. she was also constantly checking her phone in case someone texted to confirm that Nick had done what he set out to do but nothing came. The last text she got was from Hank saying that he had caught Nick and had try to talk him out of it but he ended up heading to the captains office. She tried to distract her self by reading one of the many books that she often left at Nick's, she sat nervously tapping her finger against the book as the door flew open to show Nick. Mia threw book on the table and waited for him to say something anything instead he just walked into the kitchen
" hey did you make dinner or do you want to get some take out?" he said opening the fridge as he took out two beers then handed her one as she gave him a look
" I'm sorry did I miss something? like the bit where you tell me what happened when you got to the prescient or the part where you apologise for worrying to death?" she said trying to control her anger and prevent herself from shouting at him
" there's nothing to tell really, the captain showed me a video of the fight and the guy had a knife. The captain said he probably would have killed someone, not that that makes what happened ok" he said leaning against the doorway as she crossed her arms as she listened to his story
" wait he took the cctv recordings, thats why he told us none had been found yet. Just so you know I don't trust him" she said as she took a swig of her beer and headed walked over to the couch, Nick could tell that she was still annoyed at her
" you were right when you said that I wasn't myself when I was fighting those people in the bar because there is no way that I would have done any of that" he said as he sat on the table in front of her, he knew that she needed to hear this
" so what? all you needed was to see the footage to believe what we were staying, that protecting you was the best thing for everyone?" she asked finally looking up as him since her head been in her hands
"yeah I kinda did although it still bothers me that someone died because me but I know now that everyone is involved now too, I promise that I'm not going to do anything stupid ok?" he asked hoping that was enough to convince that this was finally all done
" and I'm supposed to take your word that this is all over? I mean at this rate I'm expecting something else to pop up" she said getting up as she walked over to the window, she felt too restless sitting still for so long plus she knew it was only a matter of time before her emotions got the better of her
" Mia listen to me the whole zombie chapter in our lives is finished and now we need to move on... come on tell me what's going in that big brain of yours?" he asked he could tell that there was more going on with her than her simply being upset with him over what happened earlier
" I'm sorry...I tri- tried so hard not to say anything, its just I can't help but feel like I could have lost you Nick" she said still looking out of the window as he got from him place and gently spun her around before wrapping in a warm embrace
" hey you don't need to apologise for not wanting to lose me and I'm sorry that you had go through that but I'm not going anywhere do you hear me?" he said as he placed his hands on either side of her face so that she was looking at him
"I know but I've been thinking about it and I want you to ask me that thing that you weren't asking me the other night... if that makes any sense?" she asked as she replayed the sentence in her head, she hoped that he would know what she was referring to
" you mean...seriously? ok Mia or should I say Emilia, will you move in with me or at least consider it?" he asked wrapping his arms around her waist so that she was pressed close to him as he watched her face show her thinking face
" how about a compromise? I'll just bring my stuff over bit by bit and not go back to my apartment as much" she said as she began to kiss his neck as she moved towards ear where she began to kiss and nibble on it
" yeah call it what you like but thats what we normal people call moving together" he said as he began to kiss her with everything he had, he knew that what she really needed was to know that he was there and was never going to leave her again
