The Baby's house was more like a mansion that a house. You had been brought to a luxurious room, and told to simply wait there.

''We will send someone for you, when everything is in place.''

All you could do was wait. You sat on the queen-sized bed, wringing your hands. You felt restless. You did not know what they wanted with Nina, but if they were right-wingers, then it could only be for something bad. You had been so nervous and caught up in planning your every move in order not to annoy The Baby, that you completely forgot to ask about it.

Luckily, they had not noticed your gun. This gave you an advantage.

The hours passed by, the big mansion totally silent. If only you knew what was going to happen, then you could use the time to make a plan, but you were clueless. Once again, your fingers found their way to the gun in your pocket, tracing it absentmindedly, seeking comfort in knowing that it was right there, in case you should need it. You could feel yourself getting drowsy. You had been up the entire night, but you couldn't allow yourself to fall asleep here.

Suddenly, you heard something. It was very quiet at first, almost impossible to hear, but then it got closer. Quiet footsteps, muffled by the carpet placed in the long hall, were making their way towards your room. Whoever it was outside, was walking slowly, you noted, almost as if they were out taking a walk in the forest, walking slowly to make sure they had time to look at everything. You quickly stood, one hand on the gun, ready for someone to walk through the door.

But they did not enter you room. They did stop in front your room for just a second, but then continued walking at a leisurely pace. When you could no longer hear the footsteps, you decided to take a peek outside the door.

The hallway was empty. Whoever had passed your door was long gone. Looking out a window you could see that the sky was bright now, whereas it had been a dark black when you had arrived.

All of a sudden, you could hear someone running on the floor above you. You followed the noise to the best of your ability, managing to find a staircase to the upper floor. The gun was lukewarm, but at the same time it felt cold in your hands. You had spent months preparing for this, you could not let yourself fail due to your nerves. You were just about to round a corner, when someone ran into you, causing you to on your behind. You quickly pointed the gun forwards, at the person who had run into you.

At first, you noticed the small handgun that was pointed at your face. Then, you looked past it and saw a familiar face.

''NINA?!''

The she sat, wearing the most revealing dress you had ever seen, and a big white fur coat. She too had her gun ready, but had fortunately not pulled the trigger. She mumbled your name softly, as you both stared at each other. Then she dropped the gun and lunged at you, causing you to fall down on your back with her on top of you. You returned the hug, both of you shaking slightly from shock.

''You're okay!? I thought they had hurt you. When I met The Baby, he told me that they had gotten hold of you, and that I had to stay here, or else... '' Her shoulders shook, ''They killed Ayse. I was so scared, what if they were just lying about you being safe?''

You rubbed her back soothingly. You didn't know what to say. After all this time, she was finally right here, right in your arms. Could you convince her to go home with you? Could she actually go home? You didn't know what to say, as she laid in your arms, dampening your shoulder with her tears.

''....Who is Ayse?''

Smooth, real smooth, but it seemed to trigger something in Nina. She lifted her head from your shoulder to look at your face.
