He was surprised to see the Inspector so well dressed only to go to the theatre. And he seemed really upset about the play that had been interrupted. William liked the theatre but his superior was on a whole other level. And he seemed quite taken by the actress playing Lady Macbeth.

Julia was attending to the body on the stage while the two of them were looking in the attic of some sort above the stage. They opened the floor and found the place where the body had fallen from. The inspector took the piece of cloth that was hidden there and hold it out to see what it was. William saw the piece of wood fall down, looked at Julia and didn't have time to warn her that she was hit on the back of the head and collapsed on the stage. He yelled her name and ran for the stairs. The inspector watched him in confusion and looked down. When he saw the pathologist on the floor, he cursed and ran after the detective.

"Julia! Julia!" William yelled as he ran on the stage and dropped on his knees.

She was face down. He turned her gently and placed her head on his lap.

"Julia, Darling, wake up. Please, for me." He pleaded, feeling panic rise.

"Is she alright?" The inspector asked, arriving next to the couple.

If a look could kill, Thomas Brackenreid would have been dead a hundred times over.

"I'm really sorry Murdoch, I didn't mean to ..."

"I know Sir. I'm sorry, I just ..." William took a deep breath and turned back to Julia. "Come on Julia, come back to me Darling." he said, taping her face gently. "Could you go get her some water Sir?"

"Sure. I'll get some water." The inspector said, looking all around, going backstage.

"Julia, Love, come back to me please." William repeated.

Suddenly, he felt her stir and his world started to turn again.

"Oh thank God! Julia? Can you hear me?

"William? What … what happened?" Julia asked, trying to sit.

"Slowly Julia. How are you feeling?" William asked.

"Groggy. And everything is … turning around me. But other than that I am fine. What happened?"

"The inspector knocked you out." William anwered. "He took something from the attic where we were and a piece of the floor fell on you and hit you on the head. God, I had the fear of my life!"

"I'll be fine William, don't worry." Julia smiled sweetly at him as he carressed her hair.

"Oh you came around. Good. Good. Here, take some water. I'm so sorry Doctor I ..."

"It's alright Inspector. Accidents happen. I'll be fine. William, could you help me stand up?"

"Sure. Here you go … slowly."

Julia finally made it on her feet and took the water the Inspector was handing her.

"Are you going to be alrihgt Julia? Should I take you to the hospital?"

"I'll be fine William, don't worry. I'll take something for the headache at the morgue and I'll be fine."

"Are you sure? Of course you are sure." he said when she saw the look on her face. "I'll come by the morgue when I am finished here."

"Alright. Now could you let me go please?" she laughed.

William realized he was still holding both her hands in his. He let her go and did something he would never thought he would do. He pulled Julia to him and kissed her passionately, there, in the middle of the stage, in front of the inspector, the constables and other people who were working around.

"I feel better already." Julia said, smiling at him.

The case was closed. The cast of the play was behind bars. The Murdochs were getting ready to go to the theatre.

"Did you really have to say yes?" William asked as he put on his cufflinks, sitting on their bed.

"He loooked so bad William. He really hates himself for what happened and ..."

"Well, he should feel bad!"

"Now, you stop that right now William Murdoch!" Julia said sharply. "It was an accident. Accidents happen. And it could have been you taking that cloth out of the floor and making that piece of wood fall on my head.

"I know, I'm sorry. I just … I was so scared!"

"I know William. But I'm fine. Now, we are going to wait for Thomas and Margaret to come here. We are going to go to the theatre and have a nice dinner and then we are going to come back here and celebrate the fact that I no longer have a huge bump on the back of my head. How does that sound?"

"It sounds great. It would sound even better if we could get diectly to the celebration part." he smiled at her.

"You have to work for it Mr Murdoch." she laughed.

The doorbell rang a few minutes later and Julia opened the door to a giant rose bouquet.

"I'm so sorry Doctor Ogden." she heard the inspector say from somewhere behind the flowers.
