"𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞?"

Nick parks the car in front of the police station.

"We're going to talk to the police." He answers.

Nora already knew that's what they were doing. She's not dumb.

But she doesn't 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 to.

She knew he would do this.

"I'm not going in there." Nora says, crossing her arms.

"Nora..." He warns.

"Nick, if you think I'm going to set foot in that station full of 𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘯𝘺𝘷𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘴 who don't give a shit about 𝘮𝘺 life, then you're crazy."

Nick looks at her. His expression is seriouse.

"If we don't go in there and talk to them, I will take care of the situation myself. And I don't think you want that." He says.

Nora sighs. "𝘍𝘪𝘯𝘦."

She unbuckles her seatbelt and gets out. Nick does the same.

Nora doesn't wait for him and starts walking to the doors.

He catches up to her and walks alongside her.

Her hand brushes against his.

Nick takes it and their hands clasp together tightly.

"I'm not leaving your side.." He whispers in her ear.

They reach the door and Nick opens it. They walk in together.

"Nicky..." An officer walks into the lobby.

"Officer Kapinski.." Nick greets him.

"Who's this pretty lady?" He asks, looking Nora up and down.

"This is Nora.." Nick introduces her.

Officer Kapinski holds his hand out to her. She shakes it.

He seems nice. Maybe this visit won't be so bad.

He smiles softly at her.

Nora doesn't return the smile. She gets closer to Nick, letting go of officer Kapinski's hand.

Nick squeezes her hand.

"Are you going to talk?" Officer Kapinski asks softly.

Nora's sitting across from him in the office.

Nick had to wait in the lobby. He has already told officer Kapinski a little bit about the situation.

Why can't they just let it go? Her parents won't bother to go after her anyway.

They don't care.
