He gave a slight sigh of relief at her agreement, then squeezed her hands with a simple nod. "The ends don't justify the means. We have to help you to help you, not to just lock up her. You're not alone, Niki. We will find a way to help." He certainly had to hope so. It was a serious promise he was making but Rory was determined to see it through.
Then he withdrew his hands and gave her a smile. "I'm afraid I'll have to call it a night though. Not much more I can do without getting some information and outside help. I'll talk to Peter soon and we'll be in touch. Try to get some rest, alright?" He stood up from the bench, readying himself for the walk back. He gave her another smile first. "Goodnight, Niki," he offered, before he turned to go.
