Surprise Meeting (Marisol)

[Deleted]

William hung up his cellphone and stuffed it into his pocket before he slipped his coat on as he came to a stand, fixing it as it needed to be. He called in to work today to tell them that he was going to be taking the next two days off, as he really needed time off after none stop helping Nate solve recent murders that just winded up being dead ended with suspects that did not exist, which made him feel that three days straight, with no sleep, was just a waste of time. Countless interviews of witnesses and suspects down the drain. Will just wanted a couple days off to recover and have some relaxation, he just hoped that Nate would not call up and say that he needed Will in the office because recently, Will's PTSD has been really acting up.

Looking to the mirror in front of him, he frowned some at the messy state of his hair and so ran his fingers through it to fix his hair up, "I thought that I did my hair already.." William muttered to himself as he fixed his hair. Looking one more time he sighed in defeat as William picked up the keys to his flat, car and to some other things in relation to work as he headed out the door. Turning around William locked the door and stuffed the keys into his pocket as he jogged down the stairs, whistling to himself as he opened the door.

Stepping outside, making sure that he closed the door behind him looked around, then to his car. Jiggling the keys in his pocketed hand he shook his head in response thinking about taking the car for a drive. Instead he decided to walk to the park, taking his hands out of his pockets he turned to his left and started taking a route he knew to the park. Stopping at the light he looked around, spotting a young woman inside a shop. Will looked around before looking to the light as it changed and walked across.

Walking straight ahead, William stopped just outside the park for a minute or two as he decided just which part he was going to go and what he will be doing. William decided that he will just walk along the path towards the pond and maybe sit on the grass and relax. Then maybe later head to a restaurant he knows about and have some lunch. Smiling some, Will put his plan into action and started walking leisurely along the pathway towards the pond, looking around him but behind himself. If he had, Will would have noticed that there was a young lady that was jogging towards him, but he did not look so he had no idea that she was going to run right into him.

Coming to a stop he pulled out his phone to see if he got any messages. William saw that he did just get one from Nate. Shaking his head, Will texted back..

I need a break mate. My PTSD is acting up. It will just be for a couple days. That is unless you want me smashing peoples heads in, or hiding under the desk because of loud noises?

Sending the text he stuffed his phone back into his pocket, looking down at the ground, certain memories from the front lines started filling his head.

Marisol just had to get out of the house for a while. Aixa and Susan were driving her absolutely batty. They were decent folk, but Aixa could be really blunt and Susan.. Well, Susan was still new and quiet honestly, Susan terrified her sometimes. A shiver when up her spine as she remembered having to try and calm Susan down after Aixa had set a bunch of ornamental Garden Gnomes after her. Dr. Smith had assured her that Susan was perfectly sane, just excitable.

In any case, Marisol just needed a little quiet time to her self. The house was too noisy with Aixa and Susan, and work was too distracting with all the barking from the kennels and the fact she was beginning to develop a crush on her boss. Jogging was her only other outlet. She left a note on the fridge for Aixa.

'Won't be gone long. Gone for a quick jog and to pick up groceries for dinner, tonight. PLEASE try to get along with Susan while I'm gone? Call if you need me'

So there she was, in the park, her headphones blaring in her ears as she tried to drown out the world around her just for a little while. She was wearing her maroon and blue jogging suit with '10' in bold golden print across the back. Her favorite player for her favorite team. She was watching a couple of small children playing a game of footie in the field, one of them which was waving at her with a goofy grin. The little boy was also wearing a Barcelona jersey. She offered a gentle wave when...

“Oof!”

She ran right smack into someone and stumbled back, landing on her rear end, holding her ribs. She wasn't hurt, just a little winded. “Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright??” she pulled herself up to her feet, dusting herself off and pulling her headphones out of her ears and switching off the iPod.

Will was just putting his cellphone back into his pocket when  someone bumped into him, which was not really hard enough to send him to the ground, just a quick step forward before looking back to the woman who had accidentally bumped into him. Turning around he looked down to the woman who had clearly fallen back onto her bottom, which was not a soft landing at all. He became concerned when he saw the woman was holding her ribs, he hoped that she was not hurt.

“Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you alright??”

"I am alright. Are you alright? You are holding yourself as though you are hurt?" William  watched the woman get to her feet and clean the dust off herself. He looked to a passerby before changing his focus to the woman in front of him, "It's my fault, I should not have been standing in the middle of the pathway." William chuckled quietly, rubbing the back of his head.
