A/N: hey readers! I'm back!! I knew I couldn't stay away for too long. I have way too many Ideas in this little brain of mine. Today in choir while I sang in German I came up with something brilliant. Well, I think it's brilliant, and it moves the mary/wilson plot along. So yeah I think this is the 2nd to last chap.(maybe) I hope it isn't too bad . . . I like it much better than my last one.
******************************************************************
"I just don't know mom" Mary confessed to her mother, "we just couldn't get married without him." Wilson walked up behind Mary and placed his hand on her shoulder, she put hers on top, "it's a family thing you know? Well mom, I'm gonna go . . .yeah, I'm-we're fine" Mary smiled as she hung up the phone. She turned and wrapped her arms around Wilson as she rested her head on his chest.
He put his hands on her lower back and ran his fingers along the bit of skin showing between her shirt and her jeans. "You ready to turn in?" he asked her
Mary didn't move, she was lying limp against him, and she simply nodded her head. Wilson smiled sweetly at her; he knew how disappointed she was. A week ago today they would have been in GlenOak, and the next day they would be married. But it was Mary's idea to hold off on the wedding until they got Billy back. Wilson was starting to doubt Billy's return; the police had absolutely nothing. He wouldn't say that that he had given up, but his hope was certainly beginning to fade.
Wilson scooped Mary up in his arms and carried her to bed. He gently set her on the bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. He leaned down and pressed his lips to her forehead, it was warm, really warm. He replaced his lips with his hand. "Mare, I thought you said you were feeling better."
"I am," she told him. But she wasn't about to tell him about how she had thrown up before he got up that morning, and the morning before that, "I'm just tired."
"Well, then gets some sleep ok?" He wasn't tired yet so he whispered that he would be in to join her in a little while. She didn't hear him, she was already well on her way to dreamland.
Just as Wilson tiptoed out of the bedroom the phone rang. He ran to catch it before Mary woke up.
"Hello" he said grabbing it on the last ring.
"Dad?"

haha, tricked you! (maybe) I'm not done, or that mean.
"Dad?" an excited little voice on the other end asked.
"Billy?" Wilson asked shocked, but he knew he had to stay calm, "hey buddy, where are you?"
"I don't know some hotel somewhere. Cari takes me to lots of hotels." Billy told him.
As Billy explained Wilson ran to the bedroom to wake up Mary. He shook her, "call detective Rodgers now, Billy's on the phone." He said as he held his hand over the mouthpiece of the phone.
"I'm with Cari still," Billy explained, "she is in the bathtub. She thinks I'm sleeping, she told me I'm not allowed to call you."
Wilson paced around the apartment, "how did you call me?" he asked
"I found Cari's cell phone in her suitcase. I looked through the numbers and called the only one that started with W"
Wilson smiled, "that was very smart" he suddenly realized that Billy was calling from a cell phone; there was no way to trace the call. Wilson's tone changed, "Billy, do you want to come home?"
"Yes" the child whimpered.
"Ok, then I need you to listen to me and do something very important." He could hear Billy crying on the other line and changed his tone again, "it's going to be ok son, I promise. Now I need you to be a big boy and listen to daddy ok?"
"Ok" Billy said more confidently.
"Alright, Billy in a minute I want you to hang up with me. And then you need to find daddy's number on the phone again, but this time don't push the talk button. Go to the hotel phone and push the number one, then put in all of the numbers exactly the way it is ok? When I pick up the phone you just set the receiver down on the table and don't touch it. Keep it that way as long as you can, and I want you to go to sleep ok?"
When he didn't get a response from Billy, he knew it was because he was nodding, he always nodded when he was on the phone with his grandparents and they asked him a question. He heard the click on the other end, and all he could do was wait.
Mary ran up to him holding out her cell phone. Detective Rodgers told Wilson what machines to turn on, then he told him to wait, and that he would be there as soon as possible.
Mary still wasn't exactly sure what was going on. She was still tired, and very disoriented. Plus she felt like she was coming down with something. She just stood in the middle of the room while Wilson watched the phone.
When it rang they both jumped. Wilson picked it up, "hello" he said.
Silence.
"Do I put the phone down now?" Billy whispered.
"Yes, good job. Now don't tell Cari you did this, it's our secret conversation ok? Love you, bye"
They heard the phone hit the table, and then the whirring noise of the motel air conditioner.
Just then detective Rodgers arrived with three other policemen. They pushed past Mary and went straight for the equipment. One put on headphones, while the other flipped switches and typed. Detective Rodgers was calling out orders.
Mary just stood frozen by the door, it seemed like the room was spinning. Everything was moving so fast, she wasn't even entirely sure what was happening. It was just fuzzy, and then she heard a voice say, "we got 'em"
