Wednesday 11 April, 08:30pm, Tracy Island.

In the quiet of her friend's apartment, Nikki watched as Dominic tucked Joshua into bed, after having enlisted her help to do so. She had actually done little, as Dominic was able to go through the evening routine, glasses or no, and thought herself more of a safety net than anything else. Dom knelt down and pawed at the wall until he found the socket where the night-light was plugged and turned it on, before slowly making his way to the door. Nikki switched off the light.

"Fancy a cuppa?" Dominic asked, and she nodded.

She hovered about the little kitchenette and helped where she was needed; a lack of sight and boiling water was not the best of combinations, and soon they sat down on the sofa. Dominic kicked off his sneakers.

"Thanks, luv," he said.

Nikki sipped her tea and glanced around the apartment. There was a residual odour of paint hanging in the air.

"How's the decorating going?" she asked.

"Slowly, slowly. I enlisted the aid of one Gordon Tracy, but every time I try to find him, he magically disappears." He chuckled. "Well, now that he's injured I'll have to continue without him. After I get my new eyes, of course."

"Did Dianne get you an appointment?"

"Yes, for -- get this -- Friday the 13th. Wonderful, eh?"

"Oh no! Well, at least that's just silly superstition."

"Yeah. Makes me feel uneasy, though. Another thing that makes me uneasy is the fact that both Doctor Tracy and Mister Tracy are going with me. I swear, if I say something daft..."

Nikki chuckled and shook her head. "Don't worry about it. You'll be fine. They're not that scary, really."

Dominic nodded thoughtfully and finished off his tea, before setting down the mug. "Oh, did you get that e-mail about the media meeting?" he asked.

"Yeah. Not looking forward to that one. I never really thought before about how easily we could mess things up. Poor Christopher."

"It was a damn fool thing to do," Dom said, "but a damn fool thing any one of us could have done. I tried to talk to him, but he wasn't having any of it."

Nikki finished her tea, collected the mugs, and set them in the sink. "I'd better be going. I want to catch up on some correspondence."

"Cool. Thanks for your help, Nik. Goodnight!"
