Nikki looked up and smiled at Kat a little. [color=f49ac2]"Miss Grace and I met. I'm the one who rocked her to sleep last night. She gave me the up signal and so she wouldn't cry I picked her up. I hoped you wouldn't come down the stairs and kill me but I figured you and Ethan were talking and so ..."[/color] Nikki looked around. [color=f49ac2]"Where is Ethan?"[/color] She handed Grace back. [color=f49ac2]"Tex! Stop the truck! We can't leave without Ethan!"[/color] Nikki was panicking. Since she lost her family, Ethan and Walter had been her closest friends. She had just watched Walter fall, she couldn't lose Ethan too. 

Nikki's tears dried up and something kicked in and she took inventory of her gear as the truck stopped. [color=f49ac2]"Stay with Tex, if I am not back in just a few minutes keep going." [/color]Nikki hopped over the side of the truck and took off running back the way they came desperately hoping she would find Ethan safe and sound.
