Nicole knew that with as badly as she was caught, and as much pain as she was in, that she just didn't have the energy to make up stories anymore.
Between sobs and outburts of crying, Nicole started to convey bits of the story so far. Steve managed to make out "Lisa," "shrink," "belly," "inside," "twins," "pregnant,"... Steve stopped her there, pretending he didn't hear the last one. He wasn't going to get a straight answer out of Nicole with her panicked like this.
Steve picked her up carefully on a folded piece of paper from Nicole's desk and set her gently in a lidded plastic container with some paper towels for safekeeping. "We'll go to work and get you fixed there. Just hold on, sweetie"
He grabbed his car keys and woke Derek up as he'd now be all alone in the house. "I'm... I've got to pop into work," he said, "And I'm taking Lisa and Nicole. Don't ask," he said. Derek rolled over with an "Okay, dad," and fell back asleep. (It wasn't even something he'd remember hearing or replying to in the morning)
Steve tucked the container safely in the glovebox and set off to work with a squeal of tires, much to the chagrin of the neighbors who were trying to sleep.
After arriving at work, he parked in the staff parking lot and carried the tiny container with him, unlocking the main door with his keycard. After the door opened itself and closed itself, he did the same with the second doors under the watchful eye of security. "Working late, Dr Jordan?" the older, balding security guard behind safety glass asked him. Steve looked a little thrown, he hadn't seen this guard much as he either worked all night or was gone before this guard showed up. "Yeah, something just came up, it mightbe a late night," Steve replied, being as vague as possible.
He walked quickly to the lab and opened the door to it with his badge as well. He closed the door behind him and turned the deadbolt on the door so no one could sneak in without a high-clearance security or administrative badge.
Steve sat down at his workbench on the lab side of the room and opened the small container he was carrying, unwrapping the paper towel carefully so as not to injure his daughters. "Are you still okay, Nikki?" he asked concernedly as he pulled out his magnifying glass. She was still doubled over in pain, but gave him a thumbs up. Satisfied that Nicole was at least conscious, he took the container across the lab and placed it under the targetting laser of the large, office-scale version of the shrink ray.
Steve told her, "Okay Nicole, hold on and I'll get you back to normal size and then I can give you a big hug, okay?"
He sat back down on the laboratory side of the blast shield and manned the controls. A prerecorded voice chimed in, "Clear platform. Energizing in 3.. 2.. 1.."
