Duncan walked around in the other direction of town. He sighed as he stopped by a grocery store.

"I don't know if we'll ever find him. He could've gone anywhere so he doesn't hurt Elkaryene and we might not be following him," he muttered to himself.

He turned to go head back to Joe's bar, not believing that Methos would be found anytime soon because of what happened.

###

Elkaryene walked back to Joe's place to sense Duncan inside. She walked inside to be greeted by both Duncan and Joe.

"So how'd it go?" wondered Duncan.

"I found him," she replied with a sigh.

"That's a good thing, right?" Joe wanted to confirm.

"Yes, it is a good thing. Where is he Elkaryene?" Duncan demanded to know.

"He's in a church about a half-mile from here. Heading north. He pretty much flat out refused my help in any kind of form. Wouldn't be surorised if he refused your help. Something's wrong with him and I intend to find out what it is," she replied as she sat down. "He's never acted like this before. I don't know what's wrong."

"I want to know what this is as well," Duncan agreed as Joe nodded.

"What can we do to help him? Joe, did you find anything of value?" she wondered.

"Sorry, but I found nothing. At least nothing that can help with the current situation," he replied, giving a shake of the head.

The three all gave a sigh.

"What can we continue with then? We know where he is at the moment," Duncan replied.

"I'd say we start with that," Joe told him.

###

Methos couldn't see the figure behind him. The figure walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

"I'm here to help you, Methos," he told the elder Immortal, knowing that he wouldn't hear him. "Elkaryene asked me to and I will try my best."

Fitzcairn sighed as he looked around the church, trying to see if there was anything there that could aide him.

"What could possibly be wrong with you Methos? I never knew you personally but I knew you well enough through Elkaryene as Scott Winters," he muttered to himself. "Who could possibly want you to hear voices for no apparent reason?"

He wondered what he could do to find out the source of the problem but he could think of nothing.

Methos lifted his head to look around the room. He could feel another Immortal nearby again and he groaned, causing Fitzcairn to stare at him, wondering what was happening.

"Not again," groaned Methos as he placed his head in his head.

Fitzcairn was slightly wondering was Methos was talking about but soon figured it out that he was experiencing another one of the episodes.

'I might have to go into his mind and see what is happening. That is, if I can do it. I might be able to. After all, whoever's doing this has and he has to stop once and for all,' he thought to himself as he stepped up to the Immortal who was now standing.

Methos turned around in the spot he was standing, wondering where the feeling was coming from.

"What do you want with me?" Methos demanded before falling back down to his knees. "I want this to stop."

Fitzcairn couldn't help but watch as this was occurring. Just like his friends, he never knew of an Immortal to act like this before.

"I have to see if I can get into his mind," he muttered to himself.

He tried and he looked around to see that he was standing in the same place as before. But it seemed different this time. He could tell by the presence he was now feeling. Someone else was nearby other than the two of them.

'Who the heck could that be?' he asked himself.

Fitzcairn was becoming more confused than ever with this new information.

"I have got to do something," he suddenly said.

"You can't stop me. No one can stop me," came a voice.

Fitzcairn twirled around, trying to find the source of the voice but all he could hear was laughing and it was coming from every direction. He was holding out a sword that magically appeared out of nowhere.

"You'll never find me either. I am the one who can't be found," he laughed. "I will destroy Scott and all that he holds dear."

Fitzcairn sighed as he lowered the sword. He didn't know what to do now to start figuring out whom he was searching for.

###

"What do we do now? Anything could be wrong with him and he refuses to accept any help from us," wondered Elkaryene.

"I'd say we got back to him and see what we can do now. I think that even for Scott, he has to break down and ask for help sooner or later," Duncan replied. "Right now, it's the only thing we can do."

"Just be careful Mac. You also don't know how he's going to react until he does ask. He could be dangerous. Heck, I don't even know how he's going to react," Joe told him. "This is a whole new thing to the Watchers and probably will stay that way. I'm not going to tell the others about Methos anytime soon."

"Alright Joe. We'll be careful when we do approach him," Duncan sighed as he slightly nodded his head.

"Come on. Let's go see how he's doing," Elkaryene said to Duncan.

The two Immortals walked out of the building and Joe watched them leave. He never thought of Methos as the one needing help but he figured there's a first time for everything.

"I just hope nothing happens. Especially to Elkaryene," he muttered to himself as he heard the door open. "I'm sorry but we're closed.

"I've never known you to turn me away before Joe. Can't a girl come and see a friend?" came a female voice.

Joe turned to see who it was and smiled once he did.

"Nice to see you again," he told the woman.

###

Hugh Fitzcairn walked around the place, wondering if he could figure out who was doing this to Methos, where the guy was and stop him before he could do anything else.

The eldest Immortal was sitting in the pew, his head down. He almost appeared to Fitzcairn that he wanted this to stop yet didn't know how. The dead Immortal could tell that Methos was still upset over nearly taking his young friend's head just ever so recently.

"Kari, I am so sorry," Methos quietly sobbed. "Please forgive me."

"She knows you didn't do it deliberately," Fitzcairn said with a sigh. "I believe she'll forgive you."

It was at that moment that Methos lifted his head and turned look around the church, a surprised look on his face, almost as if he knew the man was nearby.

"What are you doing in my head as well? Please leave me alone. I know who you are but please leave alone," Methos pleaded.

"I don't want to hurt you. Elkaryene wants me to help you," Fitzcairn replied before Methos put his head back down.

"You can't help him. No one can," came a sinister voice.

Both Methos and Fitzcairn began to sense the presence of another Immortal. Fitzcairn looked around to see a man standing by the entrance of the church. He was surprised to see who it was, even though his face was concealed by some shadows. He could tell who it was.

"I should have known it was you," Fitzcairn snarled at the man.

"Well, you didn't. Now, you will have to pay for intruding. Be prepared to face the consequences," the man told him as he stepped out of the shadows.
