Grace stood in the door way looking puzzled at him. "Are you serious? I come into this house and first I get a big wammy with you touching me, given a strange pill to take that by the way did help but I have cotton mouth. Then I go into the room you let me sleep in for the night and I hear you in my head to stay in my room followed by gun shots. A man who was after your computer is now dead and you call the police. Then your back in my head again and want me to lie about how many gun shots I heard and you'd said you'd would explain. Well I lied and the cops are gone. I'm to excited to sleep at the moment so start explaining mister!"
Grace just stared at him. Hands on her hips and with an excitement of the past hour events that had took place in this very room. If he wanted to get any kind of sleep then he'd have no choice but to start explaining.

Sighing, Nikolai smiles and sits down. "It's very simple. We didn't lie...not really. You never tell the police how many shots you fired. That way, if they find a discrepance, they can't come down on you for it. You just tell them you don't remember and they can't prove that you fired more or less than you say."
"So, if your to worked up for sleep, what do you want to do" He gets up and walks around. "Got almost anything you could want."

Grace sighs. "But I know how many you shot. It was two. I don't get it. Why would they try to come down on you if you know for a fact how many you shot or even heard. I thought police were the good guys. At least that's what I was taught. Is that a lie?"
She wasn't trying to be fustrating. He saw her past and knows that she was living in Haven until this year. Nothing like that was needed in such a peaceful and wonderful place. So it was hard to wrap her head around because it seemed things were conflicting with other things. She sighed again.
"Sorry. Could I get on your computer and see what more I could try and find on Amira. I'm not one for really knowing how to use it but I'm a pretty fast learner."

"Well, it's more just a method of protecting yourself. You know, Just in Case. Very cautious guy."
He nods. "You know the password." His tone sounded a bit worried, but he smiled.
He gets up and finds a large pad of blank paper and a few pencils. He sits down across the office from Grace and begins drawing something as she works on the computer.

She sitting down at the desk. "Thank you." She turns the the computer and begins to use the mouse to start clicking and typing around on it. About 20 minutes later she was just staring at the screen. How she got to this point she wasn't totally for sure but looking at the man's picture she smiled. "Ardolf," She whispered. He was listed as Amira god father. It was odd though. He was no where near Amira and where her address was. It just named he was in the Night Rain Forest and that was it. She wondered if she should go visit him first before Amira. Maybe he knows something. She paused and looked to Nikolai.
"I found a picture by a man named Ardolf. He is listed as Amira god father. Maybe he might can tell me somethings about Amira. How she would take the news of me. What do you think? Should we do that? I think its on the way to there away." She paused just staring at him just waiting for his answer.

"Hmm. Indeed, it is on the way." He erased an error and put down the proper mark. "Ardolf? Name sounds familier. Can't place it, though." He made a few more marks, seeming to just be finishing up. Then, he set his utensils on the desk, got up and tossed the pad onto the chair. He came around to look over Grace's shoulder, peering at the image on the screen.
"Ah, yeah! He's one of my contacts. Derak and I got him out of a bind a few years ago. I don't call him for much. I got his number right here." He looked at the calander. "Ah. Full moon is next week. He should be home, then. Want to call? Or want me to call?" He stood up straight and looked into her eyes.

Grace hesitated. She wasn't expecting this. Maybe knowing this man was a good this. Willing to help and knows his way around with knowing people. It was nice.
Staring at the picture then back at Nikolai she sighed. "I really don't know what to say. Id be nervous as all he'll. Might even get tough tied or quiet. Maybe you should call."
She felt a hit of fear and of excitement. What all did this man know and would he talk to her about it. She looked back at his picture staring into his eyes. Would he understand? She'd hope so. Turning back to Nikolai as he picked up the phone she just waited staring at him listening to there conversion before it wad her time to speak.

"Alright." Nikolai picked up the phone and dialed Ardolf's number.
A few rings later, a female voice came over the line. "Hello?"
"Ah, hello. Is Ardolf there?"
"Uh, yeah. Here he is." The sounds of the phone being passed were clear.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Ardolf. It's Nikolai. Nikolai Jovanovich."

Grace just stared at him as he was now on the phone ready to speak to him. She was wide eye and ready.
.......
Ariel had her arm over Ardolf chest smiling up at him. "I've missed you."
"I've missed you too," he said kissing her forehead.
"Why did you let me go?"
He ran his fingers through her hair as he looked into her eyes."It was your choice love. I didn't want to hold you back."
"But it was a mistake," she whispered.
He smiled. "I know but you had to see that for yourself."
She playfully hit his shoulder. "@as."
He leaned foreword and kissed her as his phone began to ring.
Ariel sighed and pulled back.
"Let the machine get it," he whispered.
"Could be someone important." She turned and picked upthe phone. "Hello?" She listened for a moment. "Uh, yeah. Here he is." She handed the phone off to Ardolf.
"Hello?" Ardolf asked. Listening for a moment a big smile crossed his face. "Hey, Nikolai! What's up? How have you been?" He sat up some with Ariel naked body now hanging half over him.

"Sorry to interupt you and your...friend, but I had a few questions. First, do you know someone by the name of Amira. Second, do you know of any family she might have, if you do?"
As he waited for the answer, he felt Ardolf's emotion. He couldn't hear his thoughts over the phone, but he got emotions. Love, devotion, arousal. Opps. Bad timing.
Meanwhile, Grace, waiting for Nikolai, feels more emotion than she holds within. Love, devotion, arousal. Then she hears Nikolai, even though he didn't speak. Opps. Bad timing.

Grace just study his face. A question upon her face but just waited.
..............
Ardolf chuckled. "No worries." Then when he said the name Amira his heart began to race.
Areil felt the change and looked up at him studed his face. She could feel something was wrong. Ardolf just stard off and gripped the phone.
"Amira," he whispered. "How do you know that name Nikolia?" With the line of work the man on the other line did worried him. With the few things he had him do in the past he wasn't liking this. He paused another moment and felt the need to say, "And Amira doesn't have family. Well not blood anyway."
A memory came back to him when the first time he got to meet Amira face to face. It was during a bad time and Amira was in so much pain from what was going on around her. Knowing that Hawk and Peanut kidnapped her from him when she was three and never let her meet him or the other way around until just a few years ago was crazy. At least everything was as it should be now. Then he looked at Ariel. Her beautiful twickling eyes just staring at him with wonder. God, he loved her. Moving his free hand down to her butt, he gave it a sqeeze as he awaited for Nikolai to speak.

"Well. I think you may be wrong about the family. And the name I found on the web. Not too hard to look it up. Anyway, I met a very nice lady who is Amira's half sister. Grace Nuit. And before you say it, she's not lying. And she bears too much of a resembleance to Amira. Again, picture was online. You know my...talants. I touched her, Ardolf. You know what that means."
He waited again, looking at Grace. Then he desided to do something risky. "She's right here. Do you want to talk to her?"

Ardolf froze. The words rang threw but didn't quite register. He got up out of bed. Ariel still lay underneath the covers but sat up a little more curious as to the look on Ardolfs face.
Ardolf gripped the phone tighter. It was unreal but he knew about Nikolai gift and knew he wasn't lying. He was about to say something when he said she was right there with him. Ardolf couldn't catch his breath. His heart racing more then before. "Sure," he finally pushed out.
He waited a moment listening to the sound of the phone passing and then froze.
"Uh, hi. Ardolf? My name is Grace."
'Oh my god' he thought 'She sounds like Amira.'
"I've been on a very long journey trying to find Amira that all I had was my fathers name Greek."
'Oh god tell me its not so!'
"And well I was hoping you could tell me about her before I would go and meet her."
'Bad idea.' "Well," he pushed out, "Theirs just to much to say."
"Well we were thinking maybe coming to see you first."
He could hear the excitement in her tone. Letting out a low sigh he finally said, "Sure."
Grace let out a squeal of joy. "Oh my god! Yay! Thank you! Oh my god! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"
"You're welcome. Now can you please put Nikolai back on the phone."
"Sure," she said holding the phone out to him, "He wants to talk to you now."
When he was back on the phone Ardolf said, "You're dead, hope you know that. When I see you my beast will eat you alive!" He sighed. "I'll be waiting for both of you. I'm sure you'll have no problem finding the cabin again." He paused a moment. "Nikolai, I ment it." And he hung up.
He looked to Ariel. 'Beautiful' he thought.
"What was that all about?" She asked.
"Well," Ardolf said letting out a breath he didn't realize he was holding and explaind everything to her.
When he was done she asked, "You're really not going to kill him are you?"
"Is that the only thing you worried about?"
"Yes, because you're a lover not a fighter. Ardolf come. Sit." He did. "I love you and I know you can make this work."
"Amira will hate him and me. Why didn't Peanut say anything?"
"Maybe he doesn't know."
"He's an angel. He has to know."
"Things may not all be an open book Ardolf. Maybe she's special to like Amira."
"It doesn't make sense. Why would Greek cheat?"
"Maybe it was before Amira?"
"No she sounded a tad younger. What the he'll?"
Ariel moved her hand in between his legs. "We'll worry about it when they get here."
"You're a really bad kitty cat. Do you that that?"
"Yes. And you're a monsters breast."
He loves on top of her. "Oh I am, am I?"
"Hmm, yes. So show me."
"With pressure."
........
Grace was so excited. "Oh my god!" She ran over to Nikolai and was about to hug him but at the last second pulled back. "Oh Uh sorry. Thank you though." She ran over to the door. "I will try to sleep now. I'm not sure I can but I'll try." She ran out and back to the bedroom he let her use. Closing the door she ran over and lightly jumped onto the bed making her look like ship in a wavey ocean. She then moved her head onto the pillow and covered up. Putting her hands behind her head she would remain like that looking up at the ceiling and think of the hours to come.

"Oh, boy." Nikolai winced. "I don't think Ardolf is happy with me. Well. Let's sleep."
He heads toward his room. He stopped by Grace's room and waited. Once he was sure she was safe, or at least felt safe, he moved on to his room and did his wind down routine for the second time this night.
He climbed into bed, and dozed off.

Ardolf ran through the forest. Hearing the pounding of horse hoove behind him. He looked down at the sleeping baby in his arms. "I'll keep you safe." He had said to her. Then he turned seeing a shadowy figure behind him reaching out for the baby. "No!" But it got her and ripped her away and raised a knife over its head and just as it would stab him he popped awake.
Ariel leaned up and hugged him. "Bad dream love?"
"Oh man. Yeah, it was me with baby Amira in my arms. A shadow figure took her from me and then killed me."
She ran her arms all over him. "You seem alive to me."
He smiled softly. "I guess its always been a what if question."
"Amira's alive because of you."
"I know." He kissed her soft tender lips. "Guess I'm just nervous."
"About Grace?"
"Yeah. What if she changes everything?"
"Seems she already has but we will work it out love."
"I know. You'll be here for me, won't you?"
"Every step of the way."
They kissed and layed back down until a few hours later when they got up and got ready for the day ahead.
