From the wall where the door should be for most people, a little ghost girl came running through, sobbing and looking back over her shoulder.

Mary stopped in the middle of the room with panic painted across her white face as she looked this way and that. Looking for anyone else she knew that might could help. Or anyone that might offer to.

"I need someone to help me! Please! He hurt him and I can't get him back here!"

Bill heard the cries and looked up, standing quickly and moving towards the girl. "Woah, woah honey. Who's hurt, what's goin on?"

He knelt down beside the child and held a hand out to calm her.

"Nathan!" Mary sobs, she isn't going to calm down to easily right now, "Paul hurt him and I can't get him back! I need help!"

Looking back toward the wall she pointed at it then to the right where the darker corner was at. "We have to go and get him!"

"Nathan? Nathan Petrelli?" Bill asks, looking towards the wall she's pointing at. He looks around and then nods at the girl.

"Alright, just uh...take me where he's at an I'll help you out. Might be we'll need some extra help..." If Nathan was hurt or if there was this Paul person still around to deal with might be good for Bill to bring in backup.

She never got his last name. She just knew him as Nathan. However Mary nods her head a little before offering Bill her hand. "I have to take you to the Old Kingdom. Your body will be fine here.."

Bill starts reaching his hand towards hers and then stops just shy of touching hers. "My body? Uh...we ain't takin it with us?"

Bill is sort of fond of his body and likes to take it places he's going.

Mary nodded her head. "You can't..it's in the Between Lands in the Old Kingdom."

Shifting on her feet the little girl glanced back to the wall. "We have to hurry...we don't have much time.."

Bill hesitates just a moment longer and then spots Doc, thinks about his buddy Nathan and holds his hand towards her.

"Alright. Just hope it's still here when I get back." Last time he left his body it ran off and it took him all weekend to find it again.

Much like she had done with Doc, Mary grasped Bill's hand tightly in hers taking a few steps back and pulling at him. As he follows his body starts to slide back closing its eyes and going into a deep sleep.

When both men are standing beside of her she nods once. "We have to hury," Mary tells them, "We don't have much time."

Then she turns trying to pull both of them toward the darkest corner of the bark and into the Old Kingdom (http://burnedbell.livejournal.com/1130.html).

Doc's quick to hear the shout and he's up off the floor, he's not seen the girl before but still.

"Who's hurt and where is he?"

She reminds him of Santi. A lot, for some reason, he's not sure.

"Paul hurt Nathan! I can't get him back by myself!" Sobbing she looks back toward the wall then back up to Doc. "I need help...please.."

"Nathan?" Doc thinks quickly. The bonfire. The first one, the boys night out. "Nathan, shit, okay, what do you need to do? How do we get back? I'll help...do we need weapons?"

Bar has his guns.

Mary held out her hand for Doc, sobbing a little less as he agreed to help. "Take my hand...you have to come with me into the Old Kingdom. Your body will be fine here.."

Meaning he better find a place out of the way before doing so.

Body will be fine here...

Doc pales a little at that before he nods. "Alright, hold on two seconds, okay sweetheart?" He darts for the Bar and quickly gets his pistol, this is why this stays with the Bar for these moments, and then he looks around and goes near the wall, out of the way, and reaches for her hand.

And dares a smile. "We're gonna get him back, okay? I promise."

He'd be lying if he said he wasn't nervous but it's no time for that.

She reached up and took his hand in her own cold one. Carefully Mary takes a few steps back pulling Doc with her leaving his body to seem to fall asleep the instant he is out of it. "We have to get the other man now..he is going with us to." Pointing at Bill she kept a hand on Doc's refusing to let go because that would be bad...

"I know him. Bill's a good friend of mine."

Doc kept his hand in hers. Everything felt cold. Detached. And the sight of his body slumped over against the wall was enough to make his blood run cold...if he had blood that was.

He turned away from the body, not wanting to see that again until he was back in it.
