And I don’t think she’s Steeli either, I got pretty close to her during that Wargames match we were on the same team for so it’d take one hell of a disguise for her to look so unrecognisable to me.” Nikki rubs her chin. “But if she could pull it off, disguising herself as Cassie to rob the place kinda sounds like something she’d do.” Nikki narrows her eyes as she continues watching Akane. “This lass seems harmless though, I don’t think it’s her, or that mimic.”
Nikki ponders Spirit’s question for a few moments. “I had this whole idea of taking control of this place, then inviting Priscilla over and having all of Cassie’s thugs scare the shit out of her, just to show her how much she underestimated me. Then I’d tell the whole world this secret I know about her family, it’d probably ruin her completely. But now I don’t think I want to do that anymore. Because if I did, there’d be no going back. Things would never ever not be fucked up between me and her after that. The Divine Angels as we know it would be done. And I’m so angry with Pris for how she’s treated me lately, but I don’t want that. Not after the year I’ve spent with her, you, Colby… it’s been the best year of my life. I don’t want to ruin those memories. And I don’t want to be unable to ever make new ones.”
Nikki sighs. “As for the actual running of this place, I hadn’t really thought up a whole plan. I’m not much of a planner heh, I just think of things then do ‘em. Or Coco thinks of things then tells me to do ‘em and sometimes I do. But I’m thinking if I’m free to call the shots around here now, first thing I’m doing is making you my co-boss, because I want to share this with you.”
