He was supposed to rush into the station to see the Inspector quickly before taking the train but something had happened during the night. The station house had been robbed.

"I have to take some time off Sir." William told the Inspector after examining the window by which the robber had entered the station house.

"Again? Murdoch, you ask for a lot of time off these days and ..."

"It's Julia Sir, she sent a telegram to me and she says something is very wrong at the hospital where she works and she is afraid the patients are in danger. I can't leave her there alone Sir!"

"Alright. Be back here for Monday." the inspector said.

"Thank you Sir." William said, rushing out of the station house to go and catch the next train for Buffalo.

When he arrived, he went to Julia's room to leave his luggage and asked for a carriage to take him to the hospital. Once there, he realised Julia had never taken him there while he was visiting her, so he didn't know where to find her. He walked in the front door and slowly went down the main hallway, looking around for his wife. She appeared from behind a group of nuns and a smile appeared on her face when she saw him. She walked to him, took his arm and led him away in a less busy part of the hospital.

"What is going of Julia? What's wrong?" William asked, concerned for her safety.

"I think there is a killer on the loose in the hospital." she whispered.

"What?"

"Shhh. Don't attract attention and let me explain. There was a boy here, Ben, who was getting better and suddenly, over the weekend he died with no reason at all."

"Couldn't it be his disease?"

"No William, he was almost perfectly cured. Something must have happened. I tried to talk to the doctor but he doesn't want to hear anything. And the body is still in the hospital morgue, this is not normal William." Julia explained. "Could you look around and find out what is wrong? I have to join a tour with some future patrons for the hospital in Toronto."

"Uh … yes, alright. Where was Ben staying?"

"In the wing over there at the end of the hallway. He had the second bed on the right. I'll join you in my office when the tour is done."

And with that she was gone. Something was definitely wrong if Julia acted like that. He found Ben's bed, found some hay on the floor. He also found the boy's notepad under the matress. When he turned around, he was almost scared by the boy standing there and watching him. He left him there and walked in search of Julia's office. After three different hallways, he was desperate to find the correct door. He was almost relieved when he saw a face he recognized.

"Dr Garland!" he called.

"Oh, it's you. Mr Ogden, right?"

"Actually is Mr Murdoch. Anyway, do you know where my wife's office is? I'm supposed to meet her there but I can't seem to find my way there." William laughed.

"Of course. These halls can be a real maze for people who don't belong here. Follow me, please." He said, turning in the opposite direction.

"Charming" William whispered, walking fast to keep up with the doctor.

William had been in Julia's office for a couple of minutes, examining and recognizing some of the objects she had displayed.

"So, did you find anything?" she asked.

"Do I get a good morning kiss before the interrogation?"

"I'm sorry, where are my manners?" Julia laughed, walking up to him and kissing him. "Is that better?"

"Much better." William laughed, kissing her one more time before sharing his discoveries with her.

She couldn't believe they had been caught. Her potential new boss was mad at her, and had every reason to be.

"Are you alright?" William asked her as she sat at her desk studying the blood sample she had managed to get from Ben's body before being thrown out from the morgue with William.

"I don't know William, but something is very wrong with this blood."

"How so?"

Julia explained her findings. It was clear the boy had been poisoned in some way. She needed to talk to the doctor who was treating him before he died to know what treatment he had tried on the boy.

"We can't do anything tonight Julia. We should go home, well to your room, and sleep on it. Everything will be clearer in the morning. Come on, let's go." William said, taking her coat and hat from the rack.

They walked out hand in hand.

"He is going to fire me William, I can feel it." Julia said.

"No he will not. We'll find out what happened to little Ben and he'll understand that you wanted to help. Everything will be alright in the end, it always is." William reassured her, stopping in the hospital park. "You are the best Julia, he will have to acknowledge that." he said, kissing her softly.

"I hope you're right." she sighed.

He was right. The Head of the hospital had recognized that she was the best at her job. But he also said he could not give her the position if he couldn't trust her to follow the rules. Julia argued that she had been right in investigating further, that the killer had been caught but that was not enough. She knew she had lost his trust and that everything would end there. As she walked out of the office, she was not sure if she was sad or relieved. She would not be Head of Pediatric Surgery but she could still open her own practice in Toronto as she had always dreamed of. And she would go back home with William. No more being apart, no more missing him, no more cravings for him she wouldn't be able to satisfy. She joined William in the park where he was waiting for her on a bench.

"So?" he asked, getting up as she approached.

"So I think we'll have some packing to do before catching the train back home tonight."

"I'm sorry Julia." William said, hugging her tightly.

"I don't know if I am." Julia admitted, mumbling in his neck.

"What do you mean?" he asked, making her sat next to him on the bench.

"I thought I would be more affected than that. And when he told me I would not continue here and that he could not give me the position in Toronto the only thing that I could think about was how I would not have to be away from you anymore."

"That's cute." William said, kissing her lovingly. "But what about the job?"

"It would have been a good position but … my real dream has always been to have my own practice William, and that's what I am going to do once we get back home. If that's alright with you?"

"Of course it's alright with me." William laughed. "You don't have to ask for my permission though."

"I know I don't but I still want your opinion."

"Well I think it's a great idea." he said, kissing her one more time.

"Uh, pardon the interruption," Doctor Garland said, "but the doctor asked that you clear your office before the end of the day."

"Oh, alright." Julia said, getting on her feet. "Can you help me?" she asked William.

"I could help you if you want." Dr Garland proposed.

"I think we will manage." William said. "But thank you."

The two of them moved back in the hospital and quickly got everything packed. As they walked back out they saw Doctor Garland watching them form a bench in the park where he was clearly pretending to read a medical journal.

"He is creepy." Julia said.

"I really don't like the way he looks at you." William said, throwing a threatening glance in the doctor's direction.

"Well, at least that's something we won't have to deal with anymore." Julia said, smiling at her husband.
