Why Nickie Died

"I think I've told you everything now.", Anne said to Jeff.

But Jeff couldn't speak. He was frozen in his seat.

"All of that, is just s-so...unexpected. Unique. Nickie...", Jeff said.
"She was truly a gift for all of us."
"Oh my God", Jeff mouthed.

Anne looked at her with wide eyes.

"Um, Jeff. It was so nice talking to you. I really enjoyed my time with you. I really did.", Anne assured Jeff.
"Thanks, Mrs. Jenkins. I appreciate your time with me."
"You know what, Jeff?"
"Yes, Mrs. Jenkins?"
"It was fun to relieve those moments with you.", Anne said with a huge grin on her face. "It'll be better if I leave now." Anne stood up.
"W-wait! Anne, um, I hope you don't mind, but, who killed Nickie?"
"It was this kid named Mike. I don't know who he is."
"Okay. Thanks again, Anne."

Then Anne Jenkins left the room where Jeff was still bewildered.

"Hey, are you okay, Jeff?", Leah said as she entered Jeff's office. "Let's grab some lunch. I'm very hungry."
"Um, yeah. I'm hungry, too.", Jeff said.

Then Jeff turned off his computer, turned off his lights, and left his office.

"Goodbye, Nickie.", he muttered to himself.
