Chapter 6: Aftermath
Nick and Hank lift up Kimberly's body and carry it down the stairs. As they get to the final landing two guards block their way "Going somewhere?" one of them asked menacingly.
"We're taking this girl home. He's seriously ill you know. " said Nick
" She's not going anywhere and neither are you, Grimm." Said one of the men
"I'm afraid as officers of the law my partner and I will have to insist that you let us off the premise. " said Nick
"Your authority is not recognized here. " said the other man
"Oh, that's right." Said Nick "So, I don't have to play by the rules of an officer. Hank, hold onto Kimberly for a second I just have to take care of this little problem before we go." Said Nick.
Nick and the guards start to fight each other on the staircase. Nick tries to hit the guards and they move out of the way and then they both try to hit him at the same time but he leaps into the air and over them and then crescent kicks both of them at the same time knocking them out. He then looks up at Hank. "Ok. Let's get out of here and back home." Nick said.
A plane ride, a car drive, a stop at the medical examiner's office and many hours later Hank and Nick are back at Monroe's house. They knock on the door. Monroe answers "Nick… Hank… you're back already and without Kimberly. Why are you here without Kimberly? Oh no. You were too late? Mary and Allan are not going to be happy about this. Come on in." said Monroe letting them in and guided them into the living room.
Mary gets up first when they enter "Did you find her? Where is she?" she asked very upset.
"Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence, we did find Kimberly but unfortunately it was too late. He turned her into a zombie and there was nothing we could do to help her. She was too far gone and had no idea who or what she was. " said Nick
Mrs. Lawrence burst out crying and her husband goes to comfort her. Rosalee goes over to Nick and whispered "Why didn't you call me. There was a possibility we could have reversed it. Why is she now?" asked Rosalee.
" With the medical examiner. She's dead. I had to shoot her she was attacking Nick. She could have killed him. I had to do something." Said Hank
Mary looks up at him " You killed my daughter!" she yells pushing her husband away from and going in vogue. Then she lunges at Hank and pins him to the ground "You're going to wish you were never born!" she said to him
Nick takes his gun and points it at her. Everyone else vogues in response. " Mrs. Lawrence, Hank was just protecting me. Your daughter would have killed me if he didn't anything ;now I know you're upset and we're very sorry for your loss but killing my partner is not going to get your daughter back. But I promise we will get the man responsible for this and we will bring him to justice. Now, please get off my partner." Said Nick
Mrs. Lawrence changes back to normal and gets off of Hank who gets up off the floor. Everyone else changes as well as Nick puts his gun away. "Well, you better get back on the case." Said Mr. Lawrence.
"We'll let you know if anything else comes up." Said Nick.
Nick and Hank leave and get back in Nick's car. "You ok?" Nick asked
"I'll be all right. You ok?" Hank asked
"Yea." Said Nick. His phone rings. "We'll be right there." Said Nick who hangs up "M.E. thinks she's got something."
At the morgue, "Well, you think the cause of death would be the bullets to the chest but it appears to have happened before that. I tested the green stuff in her nose and dripping from the blood it seems to be a mixture of several illegal drugs. I'd say she ODed and that was the cause of death but I'm doing further tests to make sure."said the examiner. "the real question is why would someone shoot a dead body."
"Thanks." Said Hank
"Just doing my job." Said the M.E.
They go back to the station and go into the captian's office. "What have you got?" asked Renard.
"Kimberly Lawrence tried to go after your brother. According to her parents she had a dream that I was in trouble and she felt the need to rescue me. It turned out to be a trap and she ended up in a zombie state." Said Nick
"That's very clever… even for my brother. " said Renard
"We followed them to Vienna but we hadn't realized she had been changed into a zombie until we got there. She tried to attack Nick and I wasn't sure what else to do. I was worried she would kill him so I shot her to death. " said Hank
"Have her parents been told about their daughter's demise?" asked Renard
"Yes, and they were not very happy. Mrs. Lawrence, tried to kill me." Said Hank
"Just keep on the case and let me know when you get the key back. I'm assuming yours is in a safe place." Said Renard
"Yes." Said Nick
"Then keep me updated on your progress." Said Renard.
Nick and Hank exit.
Meanwhile in Vienna, "We had the Grimm here and you couldn't keep him here! We could have had two keys instead of one and would have been that much closer to world domination! You're lucky I don't have every single one of you killed!" yelled Eric. "But as if stands I need you to come back with me to Portland so we can deal with that Grimm once and for all."
"We are sincerely sorry. We tried to stop him and his partner but they had already killed the girl by the time we found them and that Grimm is very skilled you should know that, your highness better than anyone." Said one of the guards.
"Are you implying that I underestimated the Grimm? " Eric asked menacingly
"Of course not . We underestimated him." Said the guard a little scared
"That's what I thought and because I'm in a good mood about getting a key I will accept your apology." Said Eric "Now we have a Grimm to catch."
Suddenly the doors of his bedroom burst open on their own and Adalind is standing at the door. " Perhaps I could be of assistance."
"You have your powers back." Said Eric "Wonderful."
"And now that I do I'd like to get back at the grimm and I thought assisting you would be the perfect way to do it." Said Adalind
"I would love the help, Darling. " said Eric
"I was hoping you would." Said Adalind
