Battlestar Galactica

Two days before the D day

CIC

As Bill entered the CIC, he noticed some of his crew glancing at him before returning to their task a smile on their faces. It wasn't just the President, everyone was acting weird, he thought.

Bill quickly brushed the idea aside and went to talk to Saul about the Cylon activity in the sector. However, even Saul, was being a bit awkward this morning, giving Bill odd looks when he thought he wasn't looking.

If this was a prank Bill didn't like it. He didn't want to have to resort to spying on his crew to know what was going on but something had to be done.

'Two can play this game Laura. I will find what you are up to but first I need a plan and an ally'


Battlestar Galactica

Later that morning

Admiral Adama quarters

At ten hundred, a knock on the hatch drew the Admiral's attention from the file lying on his desk.

"Come in" he called.

The Admiral stood up and gestured his guest to the chair in front of him.

"Mr Keikeya. Please have a seat."

To say that Billy Keikeya was tense was a distant reality, the boy was actually trembling like a leaf upon greeting the Admiral. "Admiral Adama, Sir. I must say I was surprise to receive your call and your need for secrecy."

Bill sat and quickly went to the subject of discussion, "Let me be direct. I know what the President is planning and I'm totally against it."


Aboard Colonial One

Earlier this morning

The President was sitting in her cushy chair, listening to Billy.

"He actually called me on a secure line, Ma'am. And you know the Admiral, I had no choice but to agree to meet him."

Laura Roslin stood up and started to laugh pacing behind her chair.

"He thinks he is so smart! Trying to steal your loyalty to me. Do not worry Billy, the Admiral is not a threat for the moment. If he needs you that means he doesn't know anything and will try to get any information he can from you."

"Well, that part is scaring me a little. Don't you think he will use some military methods to get this information?" asked Billy shifting uncomfortably in his chair.

"If William Adama didn't get anything from his crew, he won't get it from you either. He is not going to torture you Billy, if that's what you think. He is a noble man I can tell you that. You just have to tell yourself 'I will not tell him anything', that's it."

"Easy for you to say Madam President. You won't be the one being interrogated."

Laura came in front of him and leaned against her desk, "Listen Billy. I don't know what is going on in his head but the Admiral would never harm you I swear. When the surprise is out he might want to tear me apart but I will protect everyone who had a role in this play. So will you play your part? Do I have your word?" asked Laura with a mischievous smile on her face.

"Yes, Ma'am." Replied Billy sighing.

"Good" smiled a very satisfied Laura Roslin.

At this Billy, stood and left the room to get ready for his 'dangerous' meeting.


On the Galactica,

Back in the Admiral's quarters

Admiral Adama was trying his best to act as if he knew all about the President plan, which he obviously didn't. This was more stressful than he had anticipated and Billy Keikeya, who obviously been given very specific instructions, was giving him a hard time.

"Sir? I'm not sure I know what you are talking about," answered Billy controlling his fear.

"Drop the act! She is insane. Did she think I wouldn't notice anything? Am I that stupid to her?" The Admiral stood up and leaned menacingly toward Billy, hitting the desk with his fists.

"Huh… no Sir." Billy swallowed painfully. The Admiral was getting angry and this was not a good sight.

"Tell me everything: Now!" shouted Adama.

"But Sir, I don't know anything" said Billy leaning back in his seat trying to be as far to the Admiral he could. Billy could fell sweat on his brow and hoped the President was right about the Admiral's restraint to physical violence.

"…" the Admiral glared at him with piercing eyes that said 'I could strangle you here and now.' Billy swallowed again, clearly fearing the Admiral's wrath.

Adama suddenly let out a long sigh "Very Well! You don't want to talk! Then I'm enrolling your assistance here on the Galactica. You will stay here till we are finished."

Billy's fear turned to confusion, 'Enrolling my assistance? What the hell did that mean?'
