Monroe was thinking about who he could call that would know what to do and the only person he could think of was Nick, but he didn't know if Nick would be able to help or not. He sighed and shook his head, before looking at his phone when he saw a text from nick and hearing a knock at the front door.

"Nice warning." He said, he looked at Shadow when he heard her growling. "Hey, no. It's just Nick and your are not going anywhere, okay? You are going to stay right here, until I get back." Monroe told her as he backed out of the room, before closing the door and locking it so she couldn't get out as he went downstairs to the front door.

Monroe opened the door and let Nick inside, before quickly closing it and looking at Nick who was looking at him a bit confused. "Are you okay? You seem a little tense." Nick told him, as he then heard something making noise upstairs. "What was that?" Nick asked Monroe as he looked at him, which made Monroe sigh and look back at him. "My sister, I locked her in her room. It's a little difficult to explain, but she's not exactly in the best of moods right now or in the right mind set."

"What's wrong with her? Isn't she like you?" Nick asked Monroe, as the noises got louder and louder but it sounded like a dog of a sort. "Not exactly, but she does have some issues going on and I'm not sure how to help her. Other then try to get her to calm down, but I can't do that unless I have some help. Because she isn't exactly the easiest to handle when she's like this, so I figured maybe you could help me calm her down." Monroe told Nick.

"Uh....okay, how do you expect me to help you calm down your sister if I don't know what's going on with her. "Nick told Monroe, he honestly had no idea what Monroe wanted or needed him to do but he was also confused as to what was going on with her. Monroe sighed and lead him up the stairs to where the guest bedroom was, where growling, clawing and shredding stuff could be heard.

"Just try not to say or do anything that might tick her off and avoid pulling out your gun, she will attack you if she sees you pull it out. You might wanna take a few steps back, you know in case she tries anything as soon as I open the door." Monroe told Nick, as he got ready to unlock the door. "Then we better hope I don't need to." Nick said as he took a few steps back, mean while on the other side Shadow had her ears pinned slightly back as she growled at the door lowly waiting for Monroe to open it.

After Monroe did open the door Shadow looked at both him and Nick growling, til she saw Monroe woge which made her backup a little as he woged back to normal . "Easy Shadow it's still me, I'm not gonna hurt you neither is Nick here alright? He's here to help you, I know your scared and pain but we can't help you if you don't shift back or let me try to find the person you imprinted on." Monroe told her gently, he knew she had feelings for the assistant at the spice shop but he didn't know if he would care for Shadow as she did for him.

Nick was confused as to what Monroe meant by that, but for the moment he kept his mouth shut and let the two of them have a brother sister moment. Shadow looked away from them as her face relaxed a little bit, before she looked back at them and gave a light nod of her head, as she then thought of the person she imprinted on and focused on him as she started to relax to the point she was starting to change back.

Nick watched as Monroe covered up Shadow with a blanket as she changed back, before Monroe lead them both out of the room so she could get dressed and such. "We should probably go downstairs and talk about why your actually here, since she's gonna shift back and get dressed." Monroe said.

"Yeah, but if you were able to get her to calm down why did you need my help?" Nick asked him, as they both walked down the stairs to the kitchen where Monroe had dinner ready for Shadow. "Because I needed your help with something else, I need your help with finding someone not for me but for her. He might be the only one who can help her." Monroe said as he sat down at the table, after pouring him and Nick some wine.

"Who is he?" Nick asked Monroe. Monroe looked at Nick as he waited for his sister to come down to eat. "Someone you Grimm's don't like, he's the assistant at the spice shop. He was there working, when I went to go inside and get the thing you asked for. Even though you never got to meet him because he was always working in the back of the shop, don't ask me how I know that because my sister knows a lot more about then I do." Monroe told Nick.

Nick was thinking about what Monroe was saying, he wondered if the car that drove off was the assistants car but if it was he was a suspect in a murder investigation. "I'll have to ask her about that, but the spice shop owner was killed." Nick said, which made Monroe look at him with a shocked expression.
"Wow okay that's a shocker, I will be right back." Monroe said as he went to grab a can of soda for Shadow. "Uh, nothing in the spice shop was illegal." Nick said as he looked the file over, Monroe sat the can down for his sister before sitting back down. "It's really a shame. He was a nice guy."

"Is there anything in these reports that someone would kill for?" Nick asked Monroe as he gave him the report. "I'm sure there is. But I don't know what any of these words mean. Beramethyl silacybanate? Hornisolic fullmanoxin? I mean, what the heck is this stuff?" Monroe asked Nick as he sat the report down. "I have no idea. Could you tell by looking at it?" Nick asked him, wondering if he could help him figure it out.

"Maybe, wait was he the only one you found dead?" Monroe asked Nick, he was hoping the assistant wasn't involved in this somehow. "He was, but one of the cops who got there heard someone run out the back along with seeing a car driving off. We tracked the license plate and it belongs to the assistant, we think he was involved." Nick told Monroe.

Monroe shook his head not liking this, he knew Shadow definitely wouldn't react well to any of this if she heard it. "If that's the case then you might not want my sister to know he's involved, or she'll end up shifting again but I wouldn't be able to calm her down like before." Monroe said with a sigh. "Just don't let her know any of this til you know whether or not he had something to do with this, I don't want her to flip out hurt someone on accident over her imprint getting in trouble."

Nick was a bit confused. "Imprint?" He said confused, before looking up when he saw Shadow come down stairs back in her human form dressed in this.

"Imprint is another word for liking someone, but for someone like me It's means that there is only one person that you have your eyes on and want to be with

"Imprint is another word for liking someone, but for someone like me It's means that there is only one person that you have your eyes on and want to be with. I heard most of your conversation, he wouldn't do anything like what your implying." Shadow told them both, as she sat down to eat her food while the guys looked at each other not sure what to say now. "We should probably head to the spice shop, we will talk more about this later." Nick said, before leaving with Monroe to the spice shop.
