Wheelsy AU ~ Hollywood Nights

[noteasytobepink]

The airport was crowded an d bustling with tourists, the sunlight outside pooling through the plate glass windows like honey. Starla didn't mind the wait. Security meant she could meet him off the plane, but she could stake out the baggage claim where he was suppose to come out!

She was dressed simply in a blue sundress and sandals, nothing fancy, that was for late tonight at the premier. For now she was just a country girl waiting for a country boy and hoping he hadn't managed to get himself lost in the bowels of the airport.

Yes, well, if she was lucky she could open a portal, kick him in, and let him splutter on the other side? Maybe?

"Thank you Bill, you're too good to me." And she meant it to. "Now you get some sleep alright?"

That might be the only way to do it.

"Alright, I will." Working his throat quietly, he gave a small, warm smile into the reciever.

"Thanks for callin' an' talkin' with me tonight. I appreciate it."

He had planned on getting through tonight alone, but having a friend was much better.

Much, much better. Clarice wasn't a big fan of 'alone' in any case, things were always easier to face in a team.

"I'll call back tomorrow night after your thing alright? Update you on anything here, tell you if deputy idiot got sloshed again..." Or just chatter at him! She did what she could!

"Alright. I'll let y'know how it goes. An' if he does you can lock him up until I'm back an' I can deal with him."

A yawn creeped up on him, and he pulled the phone away to let it out.

"Have a good night, Clarice."

"Now that has promise." Clarice laughed. She...didn't have much faith in a deputy that got trashed the FIRST NIGHT the sheriff was away.

"Sleep well Bill." She'd hang up when he did! "Put aspirin on your bedside!"

There would be Words when Bill got back, for sure.

"I'll do that. Goodnight."

He hesitated, then hung up.

There was still beer in the fridge, and an ache in his chest, but Bill wasn't going to stay up with them.

Setting the phone on the night stand, be got himself aspirin and some water, put those beside the phone, and crawled into bed.

Tomorrow he'd drag himself out of it, and maybe he would see what a few sights. It would be a step in the direction of moving on after he'd been hung up for so long, and that was something he'd need to do after finally getting his answer from Starla.
