Sept 18--Lazy Saturday

[Will Stanton]

"Right, right, right. I'm sure that'll be it..."

"...was it this bad when I went out?"

[Sara Stanton]

"Well, I mostly tried to bury myself in school work, getting pretty much nothing done while you were out. Why do you think I stayed up waiting for you to come back? I couldn't have slept anyway..."

[Will Stanton]

"And here I thought it was just my charm and good looks."

Will's joking around, but his free hand idly drumming on his leg belies his nervousness.

[Sara Stanton]

She chuckles faintly. "That too, but it was unnerving not knowing if you were okay. Which is why I know there propably isn't much either of us can do about being worried, but I can at least promise you I won't take any stupid risks, okay?"

[Will Stanton]

"You'll be fine, I know that. Really, I do. Ima still gonna worry, k?"

[Sara Stanton]

"Can't stop you from doing so anyway..." Or stop yourself from worrying, for that matter. "...so go ahead." She smiles faintly at Will.

[Will Stanton]

Reaching the Tube station, Will takes the opportunity to step in front of Sara and wrap her up in a quick hug.

"Love you."

[Sara Stanton]

"Love you too." Giving Will a tight squeeze she places a soft kiss on his lips.

[Will Stanton]

Breaking from the kiss, Will adds, "Let's get you back. You're gonna do great. If it helps, just imagine they're all my ex and smash their faces in for me, alright?"

[Sara Stanton]

At that she laughs out loud. "Yeah, that might do the trick."

[Will Stanton]

Will smiles, glad to see Sara's in a good mood, at least. Good--can't have her too worried going in. That's totally my job right now

"You going to wait down by the X-rooms or whatever, or what?"

[Sara Stanton]

"Not sure, I was thinking about changing into the suit and grabbing a book, but I don't really want to possibly hang around there on my own for hours..."

[Will Stanton]

"Hours? Certainly they wouldn't give you all the call unless something was going down--I know when I was sent out, it was just time for some Q&A, and then we were out and ready to go..."

[Sara Stanton]

"Well it's just a notification that we're on call, so we're ready when things get going. Could be any minute, could be hours." She gives a little shrug. "Although the mail said they're not planning to go until early evening and advised us possibly take a nap now, so I guess I should do that..."

[Will Stanton]

"Alright, then let's get you back home and tucked in. God knows, if someone's been kidnapped, they'll want you ready to go when it's time..."
