AN: I was watching Season 7 recently and when I got to th final I was just so upset, because I love Riley and I was desperatly hoping he would come bac.k. But we've only got two disks left of season 8 and Kate's already gone and I'm rapidly losing hope. But since I just can't leave thngs alone - and I know I'm not alone - this is what I've been left with.

The first thing he noticed was that it was raining. Not too heavily, but he was being hit lightly all over his face and body.
Next he realised that he was lying on a patch of very wet grass and that rushing sound in his ears was more water. A river close to where he lay.
"Hello?" he called out as he struggled to sit up. "Hello? Is there anyone here?" he yelled, his hands cupped around his mouth. "Is anybody there?" he pushed himself off the ground and stumbled a few feet along the river bank, listening for any reply, any sound other than the rushing water.
"Where am I?" he muttered to himself, turning in a circle. Nothing stood out.
Tree's, grass, either side of the river looked eactly the same. There were no houses, no fenceline that he could see. He decided to stick close to the water.
If he followed it long enough he would surely come across someone who could point him in the direction of home.
"Home?" he wondered aloud. "Where is home?"
He walked slowly, unaware he'd forgotten one other important question.
Run.
With one word in his mind, he began to do just that, until the question that needed to be asked, pushed it's way into his mind.
'Who am I?
