Nikkie Jean was going to be ok. Annie and Izzie were going to stay with her.
Virat was taking Fin home.
After they spoke with Dom Alcardi.
They met the police detective in the lobby, where he was speaking with his father and his father’s fiancée.
Cherise hugged her and asked if she was ok. Fin resisted the urge to cling to the older woman. Cherise was one of the unofficial “mothers” of the ER. Fin needed that from time to time.
Fin was going to be ok. As soon as they caught the man responsible for hurting Nikkie Jean. As soon as all of this fear stopped.
She answered Dom’s questions as best as she could. But she hadn’t seen more than a glimpse of the driver. “I just don’t know.”
Dom had led her to his father’s office. Vince had accompanied them, but was out in the hall to preserve her privacy. Fin appreciated that.
“I think we’ll play it safe and assume this is connected to the letters on your car. Has anything changed in the last week?”
The only change in her life had his hand on her shoulder. He’d pulled out the chair for her to sit in. And was hovering. Fin looked up at him. “Virat has stayed with me since. And we...our photo has been in the Snotty Garlic. I think everyone in the hospital knows our relationship has changed.”
“And it’s made the stalker mad,” Dom said flatly. He looked a lot like his father, but was bigger, more muscular. Harder.
Scarier.
She was glad he was on her side.
“So what do I do now?” She looked at the man and just listened.
