Niki had been gone a full year, after all. Still, if she was there, Niki would snatch her up, and together they would go somewhere Niki absolutely knew would be safe.

     Where that place would be, Niki hadn't quite figured out yet.

     First things first. 

     Find Fathom.

     Get Fathom.

​     Fathom has to be at work, Niki thought. It's that time of day, right? She has to be okay. She has to be.
