Title: Future Possibilities
author: Cindy Ryan
notes and summary:

Six hours later Wyatt was on a military flight with two Homeland Security teams. They were bound for Atlanta. It'd taken that long to determine Davis's location. The attorney had homes in London, Miami, Dover and Atlanta. They'd had to eliminate possibilities one by one. Danny nearly bolted half way through the search. Lucy had talked him down.

It'd been another argument when Davis was found. Lucy and Danny had insisted on going with. Both Mason and Christopher had argued for the strict military mission. Wyatt had agreed especially with what they'd dug up on Davis's past. More people had come to mysterious deaths around the attorney than a mob boss. Wyatt hadn't wanted to risk his family's safety.

Wyatt leaned back against the uncomfortable seat and closed his eyes trying to sleep. They were still two hours out of Atlanta. Still the thoughts and emotions wouldn't let him rest. As he closed his eyes he saw Lucy's face the last time he'd seen her. Her anger had dissipated but she hadn't been happy to be left behind. He wondered if Danny would be there when he returned. As Lucy had said earlier sometimes the weirdness of everything caught up with him as reality tried to mesh with their current situation. Wyatt was getting more and more used to the idea of this family. Danny, Elizabeth, Lucy and himself. Meanwhile his brain was trying to remind him that a year ago he'd been a grieving angry widow determined to find his wife's killer.

Now his life was tangled with Lucy's in a way that Wyatt thought not even divorce could separate. The intensity and strangeness of time travel was a bond stronger than any combat team Wyatt had served with. Wyatt knew there was no turning back and he didn't want to. With that last thought Wyatt finally drifted off to sleep.

Lucy had been told she could go home after Wyatt left on the Davis mission. Still she'd remained at Mason. She'd showered and changed clothes and now was sharing a meal with Jiya in a spare space at the end of one of the tables in the launch area. It could be considered dinner but Lucy hadn't eaten much all day. Her stomach was on such knots over Wyatt and Danny Lucy was barely eating the salad in front of her.

"It'll work out."Jiya stated as she finished her chicken sandwich.

"I hope so."Lucy said as she absently stabbed at a piece of lettuce.

Lucy smiled gratefutl for the younger woman's optimism.

"Hope for the best, right?"Lucy replied.

"All we can do."Jiya agreed.

"Have you seen Danny?"Lucy inquired as she glanced around the launch bay.

"I think Mason cornered him awhile ago."the tech responded."Something about getting the specs for Danny's ship."

"Guess Mason figures that's a perk of inventing time travel?"Lucy said with a disgusted shake of her head."Danny shouldn't give him any details."

"He probably figures he'd already seen it what's the harm of blue prints?"Jiya commented.

"Thanks for dinner."Lucy said as she stood. "Think I'll go see if a rescue is needed."

"Good luck."Jiya replied with a smile as the historian left.

Wyatt's team finally landed and disembarked in Atlanta. It was another half hour to reach Davis's home. The downtown penthouse was located in a modern glass skyscraper. They reached the apartment and kicked open the highly polished dark wood door.

As they cleared room to room Wyatt's heart sank. Davis wasn't here; it was empty. Wyatt took out his cell phone and contacted Christopher. A few minutes later his fears were confirmed and Danny's earlier words came back to him; Davis was a ghost. Homeland couldn't locate him at any of his known homes; he was in the wind.
