You know what they say about well laid plans...

Russell had every intention of making himself bound to Milliways indefinitely but, unfortunately, Bar had other ideas.

So when Fletcher replied to his first letter and Russell approached the door with a quick reply, intending to slide it under, he ended up back at home.

Russell could have sworn that the door had sucked him in and Russell had never hated a door so much before in his life.

He tried everything he knew to get back, going almost insane with desperation, until Fletcher came home and stopped him from transmuting an axe from a tree branch.

He only hoped that Ed would understand why he was gone.

Russell was able to admit that it was a good thing he was back home.

One of his patients had gone into relapse and if he hadn't been there, Fletcher wouldn't have been able to save her by himself.

He didn't even stop to think that Bar might have known that this would happen.

***

In the same fashion that Russell was forced out of Milliways, he found himself unceremoniously dumped onto the floor in the middle of the bar one day.

Staggering to his feet and grumbling in annoyance, he made his way toward the stairs.

And if he happened to be looking around the bar anxiously as he walked, well, he had good reason.
