WHO: Sirius Black and you?
WHERE: All over the city, specifically Sandust, the Institute, and eventually the police precinct. :(
WHEN: Today!
WARNINGS: Sirius?
SUMMARY: Remus hasn't been home. Sirius goes looking.
FORMAT: WORDS.

and I will be waiting for you, as in an empty station
when the trains are parked off somewhere else, asleep.'>
When the morning came and brought no sign of Remus, Sirius put on his coat and went out into the city, looking. He started at their favorite cafe, in case Remus was getting coffee. He went to the Institute, in case Remus went to help Hank with something. The news was full of warning about dangerous activity in the city, and the school was tarted sometimes...

He went to three different places where Remus, when he remembered to do so, liked to have lunch sometimes. He went to Sandust, no longer able to put off going to the place Remus was most likely to be, but probably wasn't. He was afraid of what would be there, instead of Remus.

A communicator, there on the floor. A ledger entry half-written. No sign of a struggle or scent of a spell. No way to know if Remus was truly 'ported out or kidnapped again.

The store had customers - the holidays approached and there were plenty of bibliophiles in the city who needed presents. He stood for a few moments, feeling like a block of ice with a thin suit of skin on. He'd just lock the office up and tell the clerks that he would be back to open it later.

Then...then he'd go to the police. Just in case. And if...if there wasn't a case, he'd report Remus missing.

And that was everything. Everything that he would do today, before he went home to where Remus wasn't, but Ruka was, and he had to tell her everything he'd found, and that it was everything that they weren't looking for.
