(Ok well as I said, this has been whirling around upstairs for a while so it took me like an hour to write this. I hope you like it. )

She was in the middle of an empty room, listening to the light tapping of the rain on the window outside. The floor of this room was made out of old oak and the walls were painted a bottle green. There was no furniture in the room except a single oak chair. At the other end of the room was a door. It appeared to be the only way in or out. She slowly walked towards the door.

Tap Tap Tap

The rain grew heavier now as she was only metres away from the door.

Tap Tap Tap

She reached her hand up to the door handle and placed her hand on the cold brass.

Tap Tap Tap

She turned the handle. Suddenly she was running through the Opera House, following the noises of a small girl.

"Hera!"

The only response was a child's giggle. She raced down the stairs, stopping on the landing. In front of her was no other than Athena. They stared at each other, until they heard the girl again in the distance. Together they bolted in the direction of the noise. They made it around the corner just in time to see Caprica Six pick up the little girl and walk though the massive doors into a bright light with Gaius Baltar.

"HERA!" they both screamed.

Laura jolted awake, cold sweat pouring off her. It took her a minute to get her bearings and realise that she was in the safe confinement of Bill's quarters.

Safe? pfft, not after yesterday. She thought. She swung her legs over the side of the bed and proceeded to stand. Her idea of standing was short lived when the room began to spin. She started to fall when a strong pair of arms grabbed her and eased her back down onto the bed. The man attached to those arms spoke.

"Easy Laura, you've had a rough day."

"How did you know I was awake?" she asked.

"I had a nightmare of my own and when I woke I heard you tossing and turning, a couple of times you whispered Hera. I was about to get up and wake you but you screamed and beat me to it. I came to see if you were alright and then well, the rest you know." He replied

"Oh… well then thank you, Admiral."

The use of his title was a bit of a shock to him. Realising that she had still not forgiven him for what he had said to her in their earlier argument. He left her to sleep.

The next morning Laura was back on Colonial One rifling though her files and reports when she found an envelope with the words Madame President on the front. She must have missed it last time she was in her office. Considering how deeply it was buried in the train wreck on her desk, she guessed that it must have been there a while. She proceeded to open the envelope and pull out the paper within. It was a letter, from who she didn't know. As she started to read, a look of horror passed her usually calm features. She had to ring Bill.

Admiral Adama had been reading over daily reports in his office when he received an urgent call from Tory, the President's aide. She told him that the President requested to see him regarding an important matter and to fly over ASAP. He dropped what he was doing and embarked in a raptor immediately for Colonial One.

--

Tory entered the President's office and informed her that the Admiral had arrived. She thanked her aide and Tory left just as Adama entered.

"You wanted to see me Madam President?"

Still feeling shocked from the letter she replied. "Yes, Admiral. I..um..wanted… thought you should see this."

She handed him the letter. He took it, opened it and read it. A look that she was sure had mirrored her earlier expression crossed his face.

"Do you know who it's from?" he questioned

"No, but after checking through everything on my desk I found two others just like it." She replied

"They sent the same letter three times?" he asked

"Maybe they thought I didn't get the other two, who knows. What we do know is, they're serious." She stood and walked over to the window and looked out at all the other ships. After a short while she broke the silence. "Why would someone send that? Why would someone out there want to do such a thing?"

"I don't know." He responded. "But they aren't going to get what they want."

"I hope your right." She whispered

He stood and walked over to her. Taking her hands in his own.

"If I've got anything to do with it, I'm right." He whispered back.
