Their pleasant encounter is interrupted by a bank robbery. After the robbery, Nick invites Dee to lunch and they enjoy a first date of target shooting and passion. He can't resister her puzzling combination of hurt child and strong, sexy, independent woman. He is convinced patience and his skills as a private detective will gain him access to her heart and her secrets.
