Narrative:

I left the flight deck to use the lavatory approximately 20 mi west of beckley VOR. At that point we were eastbound on the bkw 257 degree radial. I set in the montebello VOR and the 271 degree radial inbound to mol prior to leaving the cockpit. When I returned we were east of bkw tracking outbound on the bke 077 degree radial approximately 20 DME. ZID had just cleared us direct to gordenville VOR and then asked what we had been filed for after bkw. We should have been tracking out the bkw 091 degree radial.
