Walking Nicole back to the car, I put my hand on the small of her back in a protective gesture as we walk through a crowd of people hanging out in front of the apartments on the sidewalk. None of them move out of our way until we get right to them, the smell of alcohol and weed infiltrates the air.

Once we're in the car Nicole takes my hand in hers and looks at me. “Richard, I've never thought just how lucky I am." She looks up at me, tears shimmering in her eyes. "I just want to go get her and her babies and take her away from here. Tell me what we can do?"

The tears start to slide down her cheeks as I reach over and wipe them away. I start the car as I contemplate her statement. "I know, honey." I rub the back of her hand with my thumb. "We are doing all we can right now. She'll let us know when she is ready. She'll talk to Ben, my lawyer, tomorrow. Hopefully, he can get some things taken care of for her. She needs to know that her children will be taken care of after she's gone and what happens in the event that she takes a turn for the worse while still pregnant. Between the both of us, she will be looked after, okay."

"Okay. I can't believe that we just happened upon her. I can't imagine how alone she must feel, facing this on her own." Nicole's phone buzzes. She looks at it and a small smile crosses her face. "My sister Rachael and her husband Michael are going to come down for the weekend, I would love to introduce them to you. Do you mind?"

"No, not at all, I would love to meet the rest of your family."

"Oh, shoot, I need to call my manager to let him know that I won't be in tomorrow. I hope he doesn't get to mad."

"How often do you miss work?"

"I don't, I think the last time was when Harlow moved down, and I helped get her into school so she could finish here after the Brad incident."

"Are you kidding me? You think he might be mad. If he is, he's fucking crazy."

"I try to stay on his good side, a couple years ago he asked me out, and I told him that I didn't think it would be a good idea, and he got so mad. Then every chance he had he would call me into his office with a stupid complaint. So I try to stay clear of him."

"You let me know if he starts to harass you again, that's uncalled for. You are an employee, not a slave." I can't believe the audacity of this guy, who does he think he is? I would definitely like to teach him a lesson or two. I pull into her driveway and walk her to the house. Not knowing if Harlow is home, I suggest I look through the house just for my peace of mind.
