Ruby joined Will, filling him in on what Nicole was able to tell them, which was, compared to previous victims, a lot. While she did so, Danny slowly wandered over to the ambulance, joining Nicole. He was still a little worried about her, not sure how she would deal with it and what might come the next few hours, when things settled in completely.
Danny stood a little aside, letting the paramedic do her job. He was in sight for them though. While he waited, he let the info Will Jones gave him, replay in his head. He had a feeling that this guy would be very pissed off now. Somehow he felt like this wasn't quite over yet, although he couldn't explain why.

Nicole looked over to Danny as the EMT finished up. Thought she had a strong face on, a closer look revealed that it was starting to sink in what could have happened to her. After the EMT finished, Nicole went over to Danny and wrapped her arms around him. As she did, Nicole closed her eyes and rested her head on Danny's chest, hearing his heartbeat at the same time.

Danny watched Nicole come over to him, after she was checked by the EMTs. It seemed like everything was okay, at least he couldn't hear any comments that said otherwise. That was a slight relief for now.
When she wrapped her arms around him, resting her head on his chest, Danny gently put his arms around her, holding Nicole close. He knew that it began to settle in what could have happened if Nicole hadn't reacted with those quick instincts of hers. It was something that Danny didn't even want to think about, because he knew something like that was the most devastating thing that could happen to a woman. Especially a woman who was proudly waiting for the wedding night. He was glad, that it didn't happen, not because he wanted to be the one, but because he cared about Nicole and he hated criminals. No woman should have to endure or experience this kind of crime, but sadly they did.

Pushing these thoughts out of his mind, Danny placed a soft kiss on top of her head, closing his eyes as he did.

"Take me home" Nicole said to him softly before pulling back. It was clear that she wanted to get home and rest after what had happened. Nicole pulled back and ran her hands through her hair before looking at Danny. She was thankful for her training and quick reflexes, however, she didn't know that she would have another encounter with this man later on, one that would be more intense and require her to use more of her skill to stop him.

Danny looked at Nicole and nodded when she said that to him. Putting his arm around her shoulders, Danny led her to his car which he had parked nearby. If she was going to get back to work the next day, he would take her there, if she wanted him to. For now, however, he knew that she just wanted to get home and relax.
"Your place, or mine?" he asked Nicole, while he walked to his car with her.

"Mine" Nicole said to him softly before fixing her shoulder bag and taking Danny's hand in her's while standing next to him. "Merlin must be going starkers." she added while standing there. She just wanted to get home, rest and put this day behind her.

Danny nodded, taking Nicole to his car. Once there he unlocked it and opened the passenger door for her, helping her in. Then he walked around the car, got in and took Nicole home.

He parked near her apartment building a few minutes later, holding the car door for her again, holding his hand out to help her.

Nicole took Danny's hand, then got out of the car. Inside the apartment, Merlin heard the car and went to the window. Looking out, he saw Nicole and Danny and started to wag his tail. He barked a bit, causing Nicole to look up and smile when she saw him. "G'day Merlin" she said while standing there, holding Danny's hand as she said that to her dog.

Danny saw him as well and smiled a bit. He was such a happy and friendly fellow, which was what made Danny like him so much, from the moment they first met. He knew that Merlin was always happy when Nicole came back home.
"At least someone's happy to see us." Danny said in a light tone, gently holding onto her hand.

Nicole nodded in reply when Danny said that to her. "Aye" she replied before heading up to her apartment. Once there, Nicole opened the door and walked in, only to have Merlin run up to her and jump into her arms. "Hello Merlin" she said to the Australian Shepard as she held him.

Danny watched them interact, smiling a little to himself. In that moment everything seemed to be okay, but he knew it wasn't true. There was still some proccessing of today's events to be done. Danny would be there for Nicole, if she wanted him to. But right now, he stood back and watched her hold Merlin.

Nicole held Merlin close to her for a while, then set him down, letting him go up to Danny and sniff his leg. He then barked softly at him and got on his back. Nicole giggled a bit as she watched Merlin do that to Danny. "Good boy Merlin" she said to him while standing there.

Danny smiled a little, watching Merlin get down and roll to his back. He knew that it was just one of the guestures that showed a dog accepted you as being of a higher rank inside a pack.
He crouched down and petted Merlin's soft, long fur, playing with the dog for a little while. Although Danny had a cat at home, he still liked Merlin, because he actually was a good friend to Nicole and a smart dog. And he was also glad that he got along with Oscar, after meeting him a while back. Sure, Oscar had climbed to the top of his scratching tree when he first saw Merlin, but eventually he came down and warmed up to him.

Nicole smiled a bit, then went to her room and set her bag down. After doing so, she walked back out and got a glass, filling it with water, then taking a sip before rejoining Danny and Merlin. "I'm glad he and Oscar are getting along." she said while watching them.

At the same time, the man who attacked Nicole found out where she lived and drove over there. He would have his revenge, not knowing it would cost him his life.

Danny smiled a little, when Nicole rejoined him and Merlin, who was on his feet now, wagging his tail. Danny was just as glad to know that the two of them became friends, instead of enemies.
"Me, too." he agreed with Nicole, looking at her with a soft look in brown eyes. "You feel okay?" Danny then asked Nicole, concern in his voice and his eyes. He would stay with her tonight, whether she wanted to or not, even if he had to camp in his car, but he was not going to leave her side tonight.


The serial rapist that they were now hunting down at the FBI, Guy Harris, was driving to the part of town Nicole was living in. He would stay outside her place and wait for a while, patiently, before he would make another move.
On the seat next to him, he had a Smith and Wesson M637 .38 calibre revolver that he would take with him on that occasion. The advantage of this gun was its small size, he could easily hide it in the pocket of his jacket and pull it out if he had to. He was furious, because he didn't get what he wanted, he would act impulsive instead of smart.

Nicole looked at Danny when he said that to her.  "I am" she replied before setting the glass down and walking over to him.  Nicole stood next to him after saying that, then sighed a little.  "Honestly, I'm scared this bloke will come back." she said, her voice wavering a bit before she composed herself.  After saying that, she walked over to the closet in her room and opened it up, revealing a medium sized safe.  After punching in a code, Nicole opened it up to reveal a small gun collection that consisted of a shot gun, an AR-15, two Glock 17s, two Glock 26s, two SIG Sauer P228s, a 92FS and a .22.  Nicole looked them over, then picked up one of the Glock 26s and loaded it before placing it next to her bed before closing the safe.  She had a permit to carry, which she got not long after becoming a U.S. citizen.one

Danny nodded a little, understanding her thoughts. He didn't exactly know why, but he had the feeling that this was far from over yet and that something would happen tonight. Maybe not in five minutes, but some time during this night. And that kind of sixth sense had never failed Danny before. He would make sure that he was staying the night, just to be there for her and make sure that this guy did not lay a finger on Nicole, if he indeed came back for her.

"I'm not going anywhere tonight." Danny stated gently, watching her head for her bedroom. He didn't follow her though, he was that respectful. If invited to do so, he would follow her, but right now he stayed in the living area of her apartment.

Nicole heard him after closing the safe.  She picked up the small handgun and placed it in the holster she had put on the belt of pants.  She walked over and joined Danny after he said that to her.  "Thank you Danny" she said to him with a slight nod as she spoke to him.  Thought she would have been fine on her own, it didn't hurt to have Danny with her.

Of course Danny spotted the gun on her holster immediate and slightly raised his brow. If she kept a gun close to her now, it meant that Nicole was seriously worried. He's never actually seen her like that before. He knew that she was very capable of taking care of herself, but he was the man, her fiancé... what kind of man would he be if he left her alone now? He wouldn't be able to live with himself if he did.
"You're welcome." he replied softly.

Nicole knew that Danny saw her holster the Glock she had, she wanted to be ready in case this guy came back. She nodded a bit when Danny said that to her. "I don't have a round chambered." she said to him while standing there. Nicole knew from her training in both the military and in her CCW course that half of all accidental shootings happened because people left the gun unattended with a round chambered. Nicole had a made a note that if she had kids of her own she would teach them that.

Danny nodded a little in reply. That comment of hers wasn't really necessary, because he knew that she was well trained in using guns and it was something that he had learned while he trained to become a cop. Never leave a round chambered if you don't need it. And he did never do that. Another thing he had sworn himself: never leave your gun at places children can reach, which was why he kept his guns in a hidden safe in his closet. He wouldn't want his children to play around with it and hurt themselves. Maybe when they were old enough, he would teach them how to use a gun, or at least teach them to be careful with them.

"I know." he commented. "You've got enough training with guns to know that you never leave a round chambered if you don't need it... I'm just not used to seeing you actually carry your gun on your belt, that's all."

Nicole nodded a bit when Danny said that to her.  "Understandable Danny" she said gently while standing there with him.  "I want to be ready in case this bloke comes back." she added, not knowing that he would come back to try again.  "If he does, I'm not letting him get that close to me a second time." Nicole said to him.

"I know." Danny said quietly.
On the one hand he was glad that Nicole was able to defend herself like this, but on the other hand he felt like it was his job to protect her. It was what he vowed himself - always protect those he cared about.

He surely hoped that this guy was smart enough not to come around here and try something, but would be dumb enough to get caught and rot in jail, like he deserved to for what he's done to so many women. But still, Danny wasn't happy about all of this, because he figured that it would bring back the taunting memories of what happened to her friend in the Army. But Danny would be there for Nicole, whenever she needed him. He loved her and he would never leave her side. Not ever again.

"Makes me stuck between a rock and a hard place, somehow..." he added quietly. On the one hand he wanted to protect her and on the other hand he didn't want to make her feel weak, because he knew that she could take care of herself. But he was a man after all.

Nicole watched Danny while standing there with him. "I don't mind having you around right now Danny." she said to him honestly. "I could use the help in keeping this bloke at bay." Nicole added while resting her hand on the gun she had gotten. She didn't know that the guy she was talking about was outside right now, waiting for nightfall to come so he could move in.

Danny nodded a little. She was right. It wasn't like she didn't need him, having a helping hand around was always a good thing. Yet, even though his instinct told him differently, Danny was hoping that it didn't come to that.
"Well... still hopin' it won't come to that." he said to Nicole.
