This is not the most dignified spirit visitation Nicholas Hyde has had in his life.
There are trees that steeple in over the top of his house, one of which bows in beside his bedroom window. It is here that the flock alights and finds him (thankfully asleep: this could have been worse), tap tap tapping at the glass until he stirs and begins the slow climb back into wakefulness. Which ends up, of course, not being that slow when he notices a half-dozen dark birds perched outside his window and staring in at him, at which point all he can manage is a sharp oath: "Fuck!"
Hopefully the flock is inclined to be patient as he fumbles in the dark for clothes, and as he comes to the window and opens it (it sticks twice in the frame: old windows) he peers out at them through the screen. Long enough to hear the message. Found in the heart. Safe.
And perhaps there is this sigh of relief he breathes then, that for now all will stay quiet a little longer. Perhaps, if Pen has woken up (of course she has, with all of their chatter) he exchanges this look with her then. "Thank you, Crow." He does not make further requests of the murder, not tonight.
Passing the news along, though: that's going to wait until the morning.
((Just to avoid a bajillion small infodump scenes, if you want your character to know about this feel free to say they were able to meet with Nick briefly.))
