“If not,” Niki repeated, her voice also drifting since it seemed as if Peter was on the same page as she was. It brought relief knowing that Peter would be there to look after her and to make sure that Jessica didn’t try something reckless. Back home Niki knew she had D.L. who had been her rock throughout the whole mess with Linderman and Micah being kidnapped. If it hadn’t been for him she probably would have been shot and Niki knew she couldn’t survive a bullet no matter how strong she thought she could be.
“Back then, when you first came to me,” Niki turned her head, letting her eyes fall on Peter. “You said D.L. was fine, right? That he survived what happened to him?” If Niki wasn’t there then it meant that Micah needed someone to look after him, someone to make sure that he was taken care of and Niki didn’t want some stranger doing that for her.
