Chapter 2:
Rachel didn't bother to hide from the cameras view as she injected herself, knowing that the Captain was sure to be watching. Grabbing her laptop she went to sit on the cot that she had prepared earlier along with other items she would need during her quarantine period.
A bang echoed through the room signalling the captains arrival as he stormed through the helo bay meeting her with a gaze that rivalled the one given minutes ago.
Meanwhile..
Tom saw red as he stormed through the port-ways leading to the lab.
Throwing the port door open with a loud bang, he charged towards his objective meeting the doctors cold emotionless eyes threw the thin plastic walls.
"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU INJECT YOURSELF WITH RACHEL?!" his voice low and threatening yet loud enough to shake the entire bay "I was testing a formula that could make the cure contagious" her stark reply made his blood boil as he fought to keep his calm demeanour. Seconds later Slattery runs in with Doc Rios and Doc Milowsky as Rachel turns her attention towards her colleagues "I have injected myself with a possible formula for a contagious cure and tested it by breathing on an infected mouse, if it has the same incubation period as the intravenous cure the mouse should present no sign of the virus in 3 to 4 days and I will remain a carrier of the contagion for 7 days." Leaving room for a quick glance at the fuming captain she continued; "I have all of my research and instructions to procedures you may need to perform on a USB drive which I have left on my desk." Rachel made her way to the cot she had set up in the corner and proceeded to occupy herself with whatever was on her laptop while intently listening on the conversation that was taking place on the other side of the walls.
Tom:
"Pull up exactly what she put in that syringe and make something to counteract its effects. Once that's done and she is cleared I want her on house arrest in her quarters will a sailor stationed 24/7. No Comms, No lab, No visitors do I make myself clear?.
He didn't even wait for an answer before he pulled up a chair and got comfortable for what was going to be a long and tense night.
Second chapter is up!
The story is starting off slow I know but it will all be worth it in the end!
Just hang with me please!
I had some difficulty figuring out what was going to be happening in this chapter, not my best but I promise I'll make up for it in the next chapter!
Keep sending those lovely reviews and give me some ideas on where you want this story to go!
