Her jaw tightened ever so slightly at the mention of her mother. “He wouldn’t have had to owe her shit if he’d made sure she didn’t go home that night.” She wasn’t really as angry with her dad as it came across, but it frustrated her that he’d said that. What about the things he owed Bella? Things like not ending up on an autopsy table for example. 

She found herself wiping a wet streak off her cheek, legs still close to her body. “He should let someone else do it.” That’s what her mother would’ve wanted - not for him to run around thinking he was invincible.

“If he wasn’t the sheriff, they’d have made sure someone else would investigate.” Nick returned truthfully and handed her a fresh handkerchief. Running his thumb over the back of the girl’s hand when she took it. “I made him promise me that he’s going to be careful; for both of your sake. If that makes you feel a little better.” He gave her a small but supportive smile.

“Okay.” She agreed and mustered up what she could of a smile, although it was barely noticeable. She didn’t want to seem ungrateful or any of the sort, but it was difficult to pretend like everything was okay when her mind was full of horrible thoughts and images. 

Why couldn’t someone else investigate the case? Why couldn’t her dad take time off; for all Bella knew, it’d be his funeral next. Especially with the murderer still on the loose. “Have you talked to dad?” The words left her quietly, she hadn’t heard much from him.

It was okay. She wasn’t here having to hide how she really felt at this moment. He understood only too well what it meant to witness such horrible things. If she didn’t feel like smiling, he’d be the last to force the girl having to.

"Yeah.” He nodded meeting the petite brunette’s eyes. In fact they’d just been speaking on the phone before Nick came inside to ask if she needed anything. “I told him you’re worried about him. But he needs to do this by himself. To make sure they don’t fuck anything up, you know.” He explained her father’s reasons. “He owes your mom that.”

Bella knew her dad had only meant well when he sent her away, but the last thing she wanted was to be away from him; especially after what had happened. She felt sick just thinking about it. Eyes shot up once her a voice finally dragged her away from those horrible thoughts and memories - she wasn’t exactly sure how long her uncle had been standing there, and it took her a second to register what he said; did she want anything to drink. “Sure.” She more or less muttered the response and pulled her knees closer to her torso. 

Nick gave Isabella a sympathetic look, as he knelt before her. “How about some hot cocoa?” There probably still was some in the kitchen, since he tried to constantly have cocoa powder at home for his own daughter’s visits.

His older half-brother’s call took him by surprise yet it didn’t need a second thought for Nick to agree on taking her in for a couple of days while Alex was investigating the girl’s mother’s case. He’d have done it the same way in his position, so he immediately arranged a week off his own job to be there for his niece.
