Making a Heart a Nick Valentine x Reader

Part 8 On the Case

(Y/N) Prov

"Nick, how did you get here?" Nick was helping me down the stairs, as i often fumbled not being able to put the weight that is needed to walk.

"I was in town and thought you could help me with a ca-

"NICK! You're a detective right!" I got out of his grasp and plopped onto my sofa, raising my pointer finger as if I had an idea.

"Uhh yes, I do happen to be one." Hey sat confused on a chair that sat next to my coffee table.

I bite the inside of my cheek. It's not like I know where my pooch was taken. There are raider bases all over the place, but it's not like I keep tabs on them. I'm sure he's know something, he's been he longer than I have. "I- I need your help... a raider took Dogmeat."

"What would a bunch of raiders want with your dog?"

"I don't know the bitch was twisted, s-she probably wanted to e-eat him or something!"

"We'll find 'em Doll, just calm down and tell me what happened." He set his pencil's point on the paper looking up at me waiting for me to begin.

I sighed and began my tale. "We were out on a mission, Preston told me about another settlement that needed my help. We had walked for hours, so I decided it would be best if Dogmeat took a break. Then the raiders came, I thought I could have handled them... I should have kept him close, then he- he." My eyes began to shine as if my tears had transformed my eyes into two glistening pools of water.

"It's ok (Y/N) I know it's hard but ya gotta give me everything so we can catch the crook." His eyes were stern but encouraging. "What did the perp look like?"

"A-a women, um the left side of her head was shaved, she had a mini gun too."

"Did she say where she was headed?"

"No.."

Nick taped his pencil in the clip bored, clearly thinking. "Hmm that's not much, but I think the best place to start is Thicket Excavations, it's a raider base not too far from here. The place isn't very welcoming, I've got a file on their boss, Sully Mathis. I've seen him around sometimes, he sneaks around, pretends to be a normal person, all to scout out places him and the rest of his gang to take from the innocent."

"Let's go then." I attempted to hobble on my feet.

"Look, (Y/N) I understand, you want to save Dogmeat but your in no condition to go after him." He grabbed my arm, stopping me from tripping over myself and placing me back on the couch.

"I-I still have to try Nick, he's always been there for me I can't just abandon him." I looked down at my lap, watching my own tears fall.

Nick sighed "If you insist on going, I won't make you go by your self." Giving me his hand to help me up.

"Thanks."
