With the knowledge that both Aden's and Sandy's lives would be in danger if she refused to help or fought back, Nikki bitterly led Von Dichi towards the Grimm Sector after checking the directions on the computer.

They walked side by side, neither trusting the other enough to walk in any other formation. Still in the guise of Sandy, Von Dichi clutched the clock tightly in one hand, readying for any sneak attack Nikki could try with the sword that the agent was carrying in her own hand. Likewise, Nikki was bracing herself for any onslaught Von Dichi could dream up. She was especially wary of the old sack that Von Dichi was carrying in the hand that wasn't holding the clock - she had picked up from the corner of the office before they left. Nikki figured it was an artifact, and opening it would cause it to activate, but beyond that Nikki had no idea what to expect.

As Rumplestiltskin is prone to say, negotiations can always be made with two interested parties. In this case, peace now to get what you want.

They both stared ahead.

Eventually, Von Dichi, still walking, sighed wistfully. "It really is such a shame. Your friend, Mr. Calecer? He held such promise for my efforts. I applaud him for his dedication towards your group, but he of all people should have understood my intentions. And now..." Von Dichi paused in her words before throwing a look at Nikki. "Well, considering what he's going through right now, and your recent past, you should be quite thankful you weren't in the office with him when I came in."
