Winters Revenge

Chapter Eleven-Choice

Time: 7.22pm. location: Nicks office

Nick had ordered Jack to take Elsa the infirmary as soon as possible to get her checked out which had always been the case since she got here and considering her abnormal attitude towards them, they'd sensed something more going on to the eye. Once Elsa had been been checked out helped out Jack had taken her back to Nicks office where she was currently sat in one of the seats fidgeting with her fingers wondering what was going on with her.

Nick "So Jack what was going on do we know?" He asked politely.

Jack "She.... had a panic attack."

Nick "I thought it might have been" he sighed not knowing what to do in this case.

Elsa "wait what? A panic attack?" She said looking confused.

Nick "Yes Elsa a panic attacks the only thing is now is to ask you, is what made you have a panic attack?" He questioned her.

Elsa's heart sank feeling the words that trailed of his tongue bleed into her brain as she thought of what could have happened, she'd never had a panic attack before at least she thought so anyways......

Jack "Elsa? You seemed a little off when you came out of your room anything before you came out?"

Elsa "No.... Nothing happened I just...."

Nick "Agent Winters I know you've been through a lot the passed 24 Hours and you won't feel comfortable or trust us but trust me when I say I want to do what's best for you and if that means you have to open up a little then fair enough." He says looking at her with sadness.

Elsa "I.... I don't know why I panicked okay! And your right I have no right to be trusting you especially after you are the supposed person who killed my parents!" She yelled.

Nick "I assure you what's you've been told is a lie, I would have never ever thought to-...." He grew sad.

Jack "Nick had no reason to kill then Elsa, he loved them just as dearly as you did and still do."

Nick "I would never have killed my best friends that's for sure".

Elsa "Best friends?" She asked.

Nick "Yes, as a matter of fact we worked on the same team when we were your age."

Elsa "How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

Nick "Because I can show you the truth, I can provide evidence but first you have to tell me what's bothering you?"

Elsa "Nothings bothering me".

Nick "Then why did you panic when you stepped inside my office?" He questioned her.

Elsa "I.... Don't know" she shrugged.

Nick "Elsa.... you can talk to us about anything you want." He says softly.

Elsa "I don't have anything to talk about, can I just go back to my room now?" she asks.

Nick "Well... I cant make you talk so.... Sure, you can go back but, may I add you are not allowed to be off institute grounds and are only allowed inside unless necessary. You will be asked back for questioning whether you like it or not and afterwards you will need to be check over medically before we take any steps further."

Elsa "I don't have a choice do I? I'm stuck whether I like it or not."

Nick "And also that reminds me if you try escaping we will catch you. we have a fantastic swat team." He says sternly.

Elsa sighs loudly as she rises to her feet turning around coldly to face away from these people she didn't want to be around anymore. As she reaches the door, and her fingertips gaze the handle ready to open it the voice of Nick beams around the room once more.

Nick "Oh and before I forget, Agent Frost here will be looking after you." he grins standing up from his seat.

Jack "Wait what? Why am I babysitting?!" he asks.

Nick "Because Jack you ran off in the middle of an investigation and also treat your former team mate poorly, for your punishment you will be looking after Elsa and its not like you two don't know each other."

Jack "But?..."

Nick "No buts Jack." He sits back down looking at the computer in front of him.

Elsa was hesitant to open the door as she turned back around to face Jack who was staring back at her with his arms placed behind his back. He looked annoyed that he had babysit her, but she was planning to sit and stay in her room anyway. Her heart thumped loudly as he stepped forward towards her as she touched the handle again with her fingers while she pulled it open. Once they both find themselves in the hallway she stands awkwardly in front of Nicks office waiting for Jack to say something to piss her off but there was nothing. She felt as if her heart and brain were fighting against each other as she wondered why her body was telling her one thing and her heart another. For some reason she felt scared to death, while another part of her felt like she still had to escape to get to him.....

Jack "Hey, are you alright?" he asks breaking his serious for a minute.

Elsa "Mmm?" she suddenly snaps out of her thoughts.

Jack "I said are you okay? You seemed to have zoned out a bit." He grew concerned.

Elsa "Yeah sure, I'm okay......You know you don't have to babysit me right?" she says her voice soft and sweet.

Jack "Its okay, besides maybe then you'll learn that you can trust us." He smiled weakly.

Elsa "I can't.... and I don't think Pitch would like that." she goes silent her chest feeling tight at the mention of his name.

Jack "I don't think it should matter what he wants, its what you want." He replies.
