A/N: Oh gosh it's been a long time since the last chapter. Please don't shoot me for that. Or for anything else either.

This chapter might include some grammar mistakes and stuff, I'm so tired at the moment I can't focus much. But anyway here it is!


Chapter 10

They landed with a loud thump and the whole ship shook.
"Oh no…" Rufus stated.
"What do you mean oh no?" Wyatt asked and grimaced. The nauseous feeling was familiar but the ride had been quite much bumpier than usually. He didn't feel so good.
"Well… uhh… I think something went wrong."
"Did the Lifeboat broke?"
"No, nothing like that. More like… problems with the timing."

Wyatt walked next to the pilot and grunted. "Rufus are you kidding me?!"
"I don't know what went wrong I swear!"
"How is it possible we ended up here almost two weeks later than we should have?"
"I… I don't know." Rufus just stared at the date in front of him. September the 2nd. Flynn had jumped into August 18th.

"Geez," Wyatt said and walked out, Rufus stumbling after him. "I hope Flynn didn't do too much damage here."
"So… Germany? You know how to speak the language?" Rufus changed the subject.
"Yeah."

They stood in the middle of a corn field, a small trail of smoke coming from the distance.
"Is something on fire?" Rufus asked.
"I don't think so. I would guess it's from a flue. Which means there are houses nearby," Wyatt started walking.
"How are we supposed to find her? If this even is the right place…"
"It is. I can feel it."
"You know, it's good to be positive but it's also good to be a little bit realistic about this situation. It doesn't do any harm."
"That's why I got you," Wyatt turned to wink at Rufus and the other man sighed.

They passed few lonely cottages and after a while they made it to the city.
"Wow," Rufus stated. "It's… quite small."
"Some places are. Come on."
"Where to?"
"To ask around. Someone must have seen her at some point."

They decided to first ask from lodgings and other similar places. No results. No one seemed to have seen Lucy or Flynn anywhere.
"It's been a long time when they came here," Rufus pointed out. "Maybe they were here just for a moment and no one just remember them. Or they haven't been here in the first place."

Wyatt shook his head and stiffened.
"What is it?" Rufus asked worried.
"Hush," Wyatt lifted his hand. He stood for a while and then walked to a couple of older ladies that were talking in loud voices. Rufus watched his friend talk with the ladies but didn't understand a thing. Wyatt seemed interested though.

"Since when have you been enthusiastic to gossip with the local tattletales?" Rufus wanted to know as the women gave him an odd look.
"Since I found out they have probably seen Lucy," Wyatt responded. "They were talking about a man who has been seen with an unknown brunette."
"That could be anyone!"
"A brunette that is American?"
"Well that changes a thing or two."

Wyatt showed where the man supposedly lived.
"And that's not even a sure thing?" Rufus stated.
"We have to try," Wyatt shrugged and started marching, Rufus following closely behind.
