Visitation

[lvpd_sidle]

The sheriff had brought her the news personally.

Found dead in his holding cell...no inquiry...statements...case closed.

She breathed in as deeply as she comfortably could, and let it out. Relaxing fully against her pillows in the hospital.

Safe. From him at least. And they still won't tell me his name.

Not her problem anymore.

The bruises stood out in sharp contrast against her skin, and all her movement was stiff, ginger. Barring an infection, she would be released in another two days.

She had finished the book Angel sent. She had terrorized the orderlies with the toy Naraht so thoughtfully provided.

She was bored.

One of his eyesbrows rises.

"Ah. Family and travel between the worlds does seem so."

"No, it's not that. They're from this Earth and my time. But...by this time, my brother Murphy is dead. Connor's whereabouts are unknown here, and he is bound to the bar right now."

An ironic chuckle. "Like I said--complicated."

Elrond nods, his eyes somewhat wide.

"Ah.... yes. "

he blinks a bit.

"I think such things are more your desmesnes or that of the Good doctor McCoy. he also wanted me to pass on his good wishes as well as this from him and Billy."

he hands over a small Easter basket with chocolate and jelly beans and a bunny and a small stuffed bunny too.

"If I eat this now, my doctor will pitch a fit. But thank them for me."

Elrond nods.

"I will."

He smiles softly at her.

"I am not sure if we will be able to visit again before you leave, but if not, know you are in our thoughts."

"I know, Ada. And thank you, both of you for coming." She squeezes their hands gently.

He gently squeexes her hand and nods.

"I suppose we should let you heal..."

He looks at her closely.

"I respect your work, daughter, and know that what you did, you did to stop another worse fate. My pride in you only grows."

She can't speak after that. She can only give both of them ginger hugs and wordlessly promise to return.
