Even when Billy left her to become a spy against the Russians, she made sure to get him anything he needed. After he was kidnapped, she spent every waking moment looking for clues as to his whereabouts. Those that were torturing Billy would call Nicole and make her listen to his screams and pleads for them to kill him. They would follow her around town to taunt her. After Billy was rescued, she helped nurse him back to health and was one of a few people to know his whereabouts. She fully intended on following him to Mayhem but, it didn't work out. When she told him that GSF forced her to marry Gary, it was the saddest she had ever seen him. They both lamented about how they never got to explore their relationship.
