Frantic - Crowley rather a bit more frantic than Aziraphale, in all fairness (albeit for good reason; he'd messed up, and Hell didn't go in for forgiveness) - the two of them set off to search for the msising Antichrist. Along the way they ran into Anathema Device - literally. Crowley hit her with the Bentley. One healed bike and a car ride later, and they got directions to their destination from Anathema, only to find that the Chattering Order had disbanded, being not needed after the birth of the Antichrist, and a fire had destroyed all the old records. Neither Crowley nor Aziraphale wanted the Apocalypse to happen - they both liked Earth far too much - but with their trail having hit a dead end, they were at a bit of a loss as to what to do.
They couldn't just search him out by using their occult (or, in Aziraphale's case, ethereal) powers, as the Antichrist would be shielded from detection by his own power, whether he realized it or not. The two of them came to the realization that they might need human assistance, and decided to contact their own separate organizations (which, it would later be revealed, was the same organization and was in fact not an organization so much as it was one Sergeant Shadwell, Witchfinder General).
They split up. Aziraphale had Anathema's book, and Crowley was left feeling very alone, especially when, a few days later, he was contacted by Hell. They'd discovered his mistake. He was, to put it mildly, completely screwed. Hastur and Ligur were sent to collect him; he did the unthinkable. He'd kept a bottle of holy water in the apartment, just in case, and when the two Dukes of Hell came to collect he gave them a rather soggy welcome. Unfortunately, only Ligur was caught in the sudden shower of blessed water, which left Crowley to fend for himself against Hastur - which was better than fending for himself against Hastur and Ligur, but still wasn't the way he wanted to spend what might be his last day on Earth. He escaped Hastur by trapping him in his phone line, and proceeded to get the hell out, so to speak.
With Hastur occupied by being in the phone (demons and angels can discoporate at will, and Crowely had jumped into the phone line and then jumped out while Hastur was still chasing him - and then he'd hung up) Crowley got in his Bentley and headed straight to - you guessed it. Aziraphale. Only this time, the bookshop was, regrettably, on fire. Not that Crowley cared. He rushed in blindly to play the hero, only to find Aziraphale gone, but hey. There was that book that Anathema had left in the Bentley, that Aziraphale was supposed to have returned. He grabbed it and got out and, because there was really nothing else to do at this point, looked through the book.
Aziraphale's notes pointed him in the direction of Lower Tadfield, and with Armageddon on the horizon, he drove like a bat out of hell, catching the Bentley on fire in the process. (Long story short, he'd altered the road plans for the M25, turning into the sigil Odegra, which translates loosely to "Hail the Great Beast, Devourer of Worlds", and the M25, being a roadway, was basically then transformed into a giant sort of prayer wheel, and now all hell had broken loose. Literally.)
Like Aziraphale, he managed to arrive in Tadfield just in time for the Apocalypse, and even went so far as to prepare to face Lucifer himself armed with nothing more than a tire iron (while Aziraphale, the lucky bastard, got that flaming sword of his back. Some people just have all the luck). Luckily for Earth, the Antichrist (who'd grown up to be rather human, without any occult or ethereal influences) averted the Apocalypse by simply not wanting it to happen, and that was that. Everything went back to normal, and Crowley's Bentley was even restored. (He hadn't wanted to restore it himself, even if he could, because it just wouldn't be the same.)
And what happened after that? Lunch, mostly.
Crowley will be joining the community at the same point in his timeline as Aziraphale, who is currently in the game.
