    I noticed that she said visitors which made me smile since I missed my family and friends. I was escorted to the visitor room and everyone was there and there was a cake that Natalya was holding and I smiled.

"Stan!!!" Loona shouted as she ran into my arms and hugged me tightly.

"Now Loona, please don't be too attached to him." Blitzo said.

"Oh let her, besides Loona told me that he saved her." Dasha said.

"it's true Blitzo!" Loona said as she kept hugging me.

  Just when we celebrated in the visitation room, I noticed Nika didn't show up and I wondered why.

"Mom, where is Nika?" I asked.

   Audrey hesitated and said, "She needed some time to help with her alcohol problem."

"She was fine." I said.

     Just then Natalya came to me and said, "Stan, after her accidentally leaving you at the bowling alley and making a bad choice, she needed to move out for a bit until she gets  her act together." Natalya explains.

"Will she come back?" I asked with worry.

"I'm not sure yet, since she put you in danger and caused you to be here, luckily that social worker got fired by Erica since she knows Rox and I are good parents to you." Audrey explains.

"I see..." I said.

    After visiting time was over Everyone said goodbye and hugged me before they left and I noticed Erica was talking to the supervisors to let me out as soon as possible and They decided that I only stay for three more weeks and I'll be able to go home.

"3 weeks I can accept since he still needs help with his PTSD." The supervisor said,

"As long as he can go home after that, then it will be fine for him to wait a little longer." Erica says as she leaves the visitation room.

    The nurses escorted me back to my room and I was in deep thought of Nika since she didn't mean to. I just wondered how she was doing while she left the house. I then laid down on the bed to get some shut eye

Meanwhile... Somewhere downtown...

   Nika was helping her brother Nik at the auto part shop that he owns as an entrepreneur.

"Hey sis, can you pass me that wrench over there?" He asked.

"Sure Nik." Nika says as she walks over and gives it to him."

"Thanks." He says as he went under the car and got to work.

    A car then drove up and Nika headed to the front counter and asked, "Welcome to Nik's auto shop, how can I help you?"

   A human male came up and explained, "Yeah my car needs a new battery since it had trouble starting and I would like to get it fixed."

"Ok, the estimate will be close to 178 dollars for a new battery and labor." Nika says.

"Ok that's fine." He said as he gave her the keys to his car.

"Your car will be done in an hour." She says as she opens the hood of the car and gets to work.

    She was in deep thought but tried to get over it. As she took the old battery out, she noticed something odd and saw something black and floating in the air but it flew away. She brushed it off and continued working. After the clock showed 6:00pm, Nik and Nika closed up the shop and headed back to the house. Nik was worried about Nika since she was quiet, and didn't say a word.

"Sis, you alright?" Nik asked.

"Yeah I'm okay." Nika lied.

"Can we stop somewhere real quick?" Nika asked.

"Where to?" Nik asked.

"Um, the mental institution, I want to see my godbrother real quick." Nika said.

   Nik didn't say a word and drove to the asylum, and Nika went inside while he waited in the car. As she went in, she went to the front desk.

"Hello, I would like to see Stanton Keene." She asked.

   The wolf nurse looked up from her pimp magazine and she said, "Room 331, third floor."

    A couple of guards escorted her to the room and unlocked the door to my room. I woke up from the door and I saw the light turn on.

"Stan?" Nika softly said.

"Nika?" I said as I got out of bed.

   She ran, picked me up and hugged me tightly. I hugged her back around her neck and we had a moment together and had a conversation.

"She? My mom, kicked you out? Why?" I asked.

"Because I put you in danger, and I felt terrible about it, and she didn't want me to stay, but I'm doing okay, living with my brother now and turning my life around and staying away from alcohol." Nika explains.

"Will you ever come back?" I asked.

  "Until Audrey forgives me, which will be a while. But I will and don't worry, I just need to redeem myself." She said as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, I have to get going, but I will come back tomorrow to see you."

   We hugged once more and left, after I saw her leave, sometimes I was worried about how to tell her about that guy that I killed that raped her but I wasn't sure that I should since, it could break her.
