Chapter 2
Reilly's POV
Reilly decided to head off to find some of her crew mates, so she told Kirk and Chekov a quick thanks for who knows what and walked away. In no time at all, Reilly found her crew. As Reilly walked over she noticed that Charlotte wasn't with them. Reilly stop for a moment and spun around in a full circle to scan faces. Non of them looked remotely like 5'8, sandy blond Captain she knew. Reilly decided to keep walking towards her crew.
"Hey, guy's," Reilly said.
"Look who finally decided to show up," Alex Uhura commented. "I was wondering when you would show your face to us."
"You know this funeral has been hard on me, Alex," Reilly shot back. "Besides, I didn't feel like actually showing my face until after everyone said their farewells."
"I still don't understand why we came at all," Alex complained. "It's not like we knew the guy well anyway."
"That may be so, but its creepy that Reilly has two cousins," Allison Scott said. "And both of them have the same name and everything!"
"You are going nuts, Allison," Emma Sulu replied. "I hope you have remembered that this funeral was for the older Spock, not the younger one."
"I know, I know," Allison commented, her Scottish accent showing. "Its just weird in my opinion."
"Guys, guys, will you just shut up about this already?" Reilly asked.
"I don't zink zey vant to, Kommender," Elena Chekov replied.
"Well, then, can anyone tell me where the Captain is," Reilly commented.
"With the Klingon's," Rachel McCoy answered as she walked over. "During all the confusion, I think those damn Klingon's decided to take the Captain."
"Then let's go after them," Reilly said.
"It's not going to be possible, Commander," Emma replied.
"And why is that, Emma?" Reilly said.
"Those damn Klingon's somehow managed to get aboard our ship and took off with it while we were down here," Emma replied.
Reilly stood there shocked by the news. Both Charlotte and the ship were gone. It was bad enough that the Klingon's took Charlotte, but it was even worse it the crew couldn't even get off the damn planet. It dawned on Reilly that perhaps she and her crew weren't stuck on New Vulcan. The USS Enterprise and her crew were here and may be willing to help out.
"Guy's, I've got a plan to save Charlotte and get our ship back," Reilly almost yelled.
"Go on," Alex said.
"Maybe, just maybe, we can get the Captain of the Enterprise to help us get our ship and the Captain back," Reilly commented. "Besides, I've got a captain to talk to."
Reilly found Kirk easily. Walking over to the Captain, Reilly thought about what she was going to say to the man. Kirk looked up at Reilly as she sat down next to him.
"What brings you over my way, Reilly?" Kirk asked.
"I was hoping you would help me out," Reilly replied.
"With what?" Kirk said.
"Someone very close to me has been kidnapped by the Klingon's and now I found out that my damn ship has been taken by the Klingon's as well," Reilly remarked.
"And I care because..." Kirk commented.
"The person who was taken was Charlie, your cousin, Kirk," Reilly shot back as Kirk's face ashen.
"So, you're telling me that those sons of bitches just took Charlie?" Kirk asked.
"Yes," Reilly said. "And I would like to help you, if you want."
"What makes you so sure that I want your help," Kirk replied.
"Charlie is my best friend and my Captain. She was the one who helped me through a very dark time," Reilly stated. "Charlie cares about her crew and she would willingly give her life up to save them, myself included. And I also don't want to see her get herself killed."
"Is that what you really think about her?" Kirk asked, a bit shocked at what Reilly just said.
"Yes," Reilly replied. "That is what I think of her. She's my friend and I don't intend to leave Charlie at the hands of the Klingon's."
"Meets me at the shuttle bay on the other side of the trees in an hour," Kirk said.
"Thank you, Kirk," Reilly replied. "Charlie was right about you, you are a good person."
Before Kirk could reply to Reilly's comment, Reilly got up and walked away. Reilly decided to walk around before heading back to her crew mates to tell them the good news. Charlie had been right about one thing, Reilly thought. James Kirk isn't anything like his reputation suggested. About 15 minutes later, Reilly regrouped with her crew mates and told them the conversation she had with Kirk. Reilly decided that Elena and Emma would accompany her to the shuttles and everyone else would stay on New Vulcan to help out with the clean up.
Forty-five minutes later, Reilly, Emma, and Elena made their way to the shuttles where they were greeted by Kirk. Kirk showed the trio to a mostly empty shuttle that would take them to the Enterprise. Kirk left after that and the trio were left to board the shuttle. There were few people on board that seats were easy to find.
A/N- Another chapter done with. And for those who don't know, Charlotte and Charlie are the same person. I just decided to give her a nickname. And I promise to clear up any confusion about my character's and their relationships with the crew of the Enterprise in later chapters.
