A Cross in Time

Keeping Busy and Staying Happy

Central Park, New York

"And that's how this fountain works?" I inquire.

"Yes." Hill replies.

"What do you think Watson?" I turn around.

"Watson?" This time Hill asks.

"Where is he? Watson?" I call out.

"We'll find him." Hill assures, wether for her or I, I don't know.

"I trust you. I believe you Hill."

We spend the rest of the day wandering around looking for Watson. It was well after dark when we found him.

"Watson!" I rush over to him. After a quick look and embrace I hit him in the head.

"Don't you ever do that again! You had Hill and I worried senseless!" I all but yell.

"I was not worried." Hill protests.

"You know you'd miss us if we were gone." I taunt.

"Where were you?" Hill changes the topic.

"I found her!" Watson exclaims.

"Holmes?"

"Yes!"

"Where?"

"I can't remember the building! The city is too big and we've barley looked at it. She was upset I'd left you, I had to find you again."

"I understand. I don't like it, but I understand."

"That's enough action for one day."

"Let's head back, shall we?"

"Yes."

We head back to the car and drive back to the Helicarrier. Hill drops us off at the hall to our rooms.

"I swear, if you pull a stunt like that again, I will kick your ass back to 1914."

"I won't Lestrade. I was bored and you were talking with Hill. My mind wandered and I ended up finding Holmes. I am truly sorry."

"How was she?" My voice considerably softer.

"She was fine, strong even. She hasn't stopped looking for us since she woke up, and I highly doubt she'll stop now. She lost a few tears but she stayed strong. I wish to sleep now. I'll see you in the morning Lestrade."

"Right, good night Watson."

"Hey, where's Watson?" Jenifer asks me.

"He's gone?" I ask.

"You didn't know?"

"No but if he's gone, he probably went to look after Lestrade."
