She calls her son from the road and says she's only five minutes away and she'll be there in no time. She looks over at the video camera and finally pulls it open to watch what's on it. We get a replay of Niki starting to unbutton her pants and Greaso smacking her around. Unfortunately, the second ikiN takes over, the screen goes black, so we don't get to see what happens. We do, however, get to HEAR what happens, and it sounds totally gruesome. ikiN is apparently very powerful and comes fully-loaded with some whup-ass. Niki's phone rings and suddenly, she's dressed in a totally different outfit and holding the phone in her hand instead of the camera. She looks down at the phone like, the whuh? She gets out of the car and we see that she's in an empty parking lot out by the airport. She answers the phone and it's Micah, pissed that she hasn't shown up yet, even though she said she'd be there five minutes ago. Four hours have passed since she last talked with her son. What the HELL has she been DOING? She peels out and goes to pick up her son.
Big Hair and Micah are waiting outside for her and Big Hair's totally cheesed off. Niki just runs to hug him and tells him to go to the car. Big Hair asks what's going on and Niki tells her about the thugs and how they're dead on the floor of her garage and how she has no idea how they got that way. She thinks she might have something to do with it but she's not sure. Big Hair thinks it might be "D.L." and that he's doing this because he still loves her. Niki says that D.L. wouldn't risk coming back because the cops are after him. I know who "D.L." is, but I'm not going to tell you, because that would be a spoiler and what fun would that be? Big Hair tells Niki to call the police, but, really, is that the best idea? She borrowed money from a mobster, killed his thugs and somehow the police are going to be able to help her? I think not. Niki agrees with me. She says she's gotta cover her tracks and then she's gotta run. She gets into the car and she and Micah head off to do some track-covering.
