Wednesday 23 June 2038 1:30 AM "Shit, shit, shit," she muttered under her breath, shifting Chloe to her other hip and glancing down at Maia, who was too dazed to have heard her aunt curse. "Pick up," she pleaded, dialing Elliott's number again. Edited by Portia Wardwell, Jun 22 2011, 03:45:10 AM.

His phone was ringing. Like phones used to; an actual ring. He'd changed it a few months back at his father's insistence. But it shouldn't be ringing right now. Now he was sleeping. Well, he wasn't anymore. He groped for the phone and answered it without looking at who it was. He didn't want it to wake Briar. "Hello?" he mumbled into the phone and sat up. If this was going to be an actual conversation he was going to leave the room. |

"Elliott!" she burst out when he finally picked up, her voice all at once relieved and frantic. She turned around to face the street, scanning it to make sure it was still empty for about the fiftieth time since she'd apparated them to his flat. "Where are you! Why aren't you home!" She had lowered her voice, but the anxiety was still obvious. |

He recognized Portia's voice and blinked himself awake. "That's not really any of your business, is it?" he answered her in a loud whisper. He literally hadn't seen her since their break up. She had run away to Egypt immediately after. He slid out of bed and pulled on his slacks from the day before. "It's the middle of the night; what do you want?" he asked as he searched for a shirt, very aware that it was very strange for her to be calling him, and even stranger at this hour. Something wasn't right. |

No, it was not. She knew that and she had done everything she could do to keep herself from even thinking about him since she'd left. But now that he was the one who had disappeared from the place she'd always been able to count on him being, she felt like it had become her business again. "Elliott, please, I need help." Briar could sleep through almost anything, but the yell-whispering was a bit much. She rolled over and reached groggily for her own phone to check the time, knocking the cookbook she'd been reading before bed to the ground with a heavy-sounding thud. She gave up and rolled back over. "Five more minutes," she begged sleepily, pulling the covers over her head. Portia jumped when she heard the sound of the book hitting the floor, even though it was obvious it was happening on the other side of the phone, "What was that?"

"Don't worry about it. What do you need?" he asked Portia, picking up a t-shirt. He sat back down on the bed. He turned the microphone end away from his mouth, but kept the speaker by his ear. He leaned over Briar and pulled the cover off her head. "Sweetheart," he rubbed her arm. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I'm probably going to have to leave in a moment." |

She took a deep breath, "I can't say anything until you're here. They're always listening." To anyone who didn't work for the Ministry, and maybe even to some who did, she would have sounded paranoid, but with good reason. Briar smiled when he kissed her cheek and rubbed her eyes before looking up at him. "Where are you going? If it's Eoin trying to drag you out to the pub again, remind him that pregnant women need to sleep," she emphasized the last five words loudly in the general direction of the phone. |

"It's not Eoin- it's Portia," he told Briar. He turned the microphone end back toward his mouth. "Alright, I'm coming," he told Portia, then turned the microphone away again. He gave Briar's shoulder a squeeze. "She's in some sort of trouble or something; I don't know. I just didn't want you to freak out if you woke up and I wasn't here. I love you. Go back to sleep. Don't worry about me." He leaned down and kissed her again, on the corner of her mouth this time, and then sat up and pulled the t-shirt over his head. |

Portia had been trying to ignore whoever it was Elliott was talking to. It was only upsetting her more, and that was something she couldn't afford at the moment. She leaned her cheek against the top of the baby's head and squeezed her eyes shut. "I'm at your flat. Outside." Briar pushed herself up into a semi-seated position, "Go help her. You can take care of yourself, Fix. But whatever it is she's gotten herself into, please, please don't get yourself involved." Knowing what she did about Portia, she figured that if the other woman had felt it necessary to call Elliott in the middle of the night, it must be a bad situation. "Please hurry, Elliott. I don't have much time." |

He pulled the phone back to his lips. "Five seconds," he told Portia; then he hung up. He shoved his arms through the white t-shirt and then shoved his phone into the pocket of his trousers. "I love you," he told Briar again as he swooped down and kissed her quickly on the lips. Then he rocket off the bed, out of the room, through the house, grabbed his keys from a hook by the door, and apparated as soon as he shut the door behind him... continued |
