The night prior to Nic’s loss, he obtained a telephone call coming from her and picked to ignore it. Then, when she does not get home as soon as possible, he assumes it’s merely Nic being Nic and also she’s possibly just off someplace with her drug-dealing boyfriend.

A female who has a medicine habit herself? Whatever happened to her, it’s probably her negligence. At the very least that seems to become the mindset of the authorities.
Jay rejects to leave it at that though. Fortunately, he doesn’t need to seek her alone.
