The Long Way Around
Before Catherine could tell the team she was leaving, there was someone she had to tell first.
I thought it might be interesting to see what Lindsey's reaction would be to what had happened to Catherine. Spoilers for "Ms. Willows Regrets" and "Willows In The Wind."
My first chaptered fanfic! Let me know what you think!
Lindsey Willows wearily sighed as she walked into the apartment she shared on campus with her friends. Between work and school, she was surprised she had any time to sleep. Plopping her purse on the coffee table, she was checked her answering machine for any messages. It had been a few days since she talked to her mom, and she thought about calling her just to talk when her cell phone rang. Glancing at the caller I.D., she smiled when she saw it was her and her mom's friend, Nick Stokes.
"Hey Nick," she answered. "Everything ok?"
"Lindsey, you need to come to Vegas," Nick said.
"Why? What's the matter?" Lindsey began to worry.
"Honey, just get here," Nick replied.
"Has something happened to my mom?"
Nick closed his eyes and wished he could say more, but he had promised he wouldn't.
"Please?" was all he could say.
A thousand thoughts and questions swam through Lindsey's mind. Why would Nick be calling if something hadn't happened to her mother? Was her mother even ok?
"I'll be on the first flight home."
