<em>~ Nicci with the girls in Mari's room ~</em><br/><br/><br/>As her giggles subsided Nicci looked at Mila, smiling, and nodded her head, "Yes, I'm sure it will carry on, there has been too much time and effort invested in it, it wouldn't surprise me if they had a back-up plan. Miss Taylor will brief us all I expect, she seems to have a handle on everything. She is one helluva dame isn't she?  I mean, she got me talk about things I thought I'd never tell anyone, and she seems so competent, so understanding......."<br/><br/>Nicci squeezed Mari's hand, adding, "And I think even more of her now, now that I'm getting to know the two new wonderful women she chose for me......" she was about to add something about the men too when there was another knock on the door, and just like before she got up to answer it, her heart beating a little faster, they'd already had one lot of disturbing news tonight, and she hoped she wasn't opening the door to any more.
