They'd gotten out - or been freed - Sam wasn't sure which one about twenty minutes ago. He'd made his way through the woods with the others until they came to the edge of town by the cemetery and what was left of the church. Sam didn't look for the new grave he knew was there or the rudimentary cross that he and Shannon had made for Anders with two wooden sticks. Instead he'd headed towards the Museum and the last place he'd seen Shannon.

He knew it was a long shot for her to be there. He'd disappeared from her side hours ago and she had been looking for them with Ianto, and Dean if she'd been able to find him, which meant that she was probably long gone. He also knew that he should be headed in the direction of the smoke at the center of town, but his feet kept moving him towards the museum anyway.

Part of him had wished he'd held onto Gambit's journal so that he could ask her where she was. Or that he'd thought about asking one of the others to get a message to her before he started moving away from them. He approached the rubble of the museum, sighing when he didn't see her. He knew he needed to get towards the center of town. He knew he needed to find her and make sure she was okay. Still, he stopped for a moment. Trying to catch his breath from walking there so quickly and trying to figure out where else she might be.

While Ianto had gone off toward the smell caused by the smoke billowing through the sky, Shannon had stayed where she'd ended up - back behind the museum to cry. They hadn't found Sam and Jack - or the others, for that matter - and Shannon decided that maybe she needed to be alone. So, when Ianto went his way, she decided to go in her own. It was nice to have the comfort of another person's presence, but she didn't think anyone could lift her spirits right then, anyway, so she figured she might as well keep her tears to herself.

Eventually, she could only heave dry sobs and no tears were coming. She had nothing left. Shannon still felt miserable, still wanted to cry, but just...couldn't. It was a horrible feeling...and she knew it already. She felt it when she'd run out of tears for Boone and slipped into numbness.

The smell of the smoke was too much to ignore after a while and Shannon got to her feet again, brushing off her backside and wiping her eyes as she made her way back around to the front of the museum. And then, she stopped. Her heart leapt into her throat and her stomach twisted. Was her mind playing tricks on her, then, or had Sam found his way out...and come home? "Sam?" she tried, swallowing thickly and furrowing her brow, hoping for the best and hating herself for it, just in case.

	Sam looked up at the sound of approaching footsteps and felt relief and something else he couldn't quite name right then sweep over him at the sight of Shannon. She called his name and his worried expression fell away into one of relief as he started moving towards her. "Shannon!" He called out, a smile making it's way across his face. "Are you okay?"
