A/N: Alright guys here is number three, enjoys. Yes I know that it took me awhile to get this one out but I waited on the reviews. I decided I will go ahead and make this one an M/Preg. Now I know this one doesnt have much Spock in it but this is mainly red shirt centrict. I know, I know, Who cares about the red shirts? Well I do. In most Fanfitions the red shirts just die, no one takes into account that they are there to protect their captain and first officer, they have a duty, I decided I would give these men a name, make them characters that you can know, so that when they died you could feel the impact Jim feels and know the guilt. So please be nice to me on this one. I really tried hard.


"The meeting took much longer than I had anticipated. By the time we left and were escorted to our lodgings 4.78 hours had passed. When I entered the building I found it odd that no one beside ourselves were present. I did not have ample time to express my concerns before we were taken to the floor in which we would be staying. The ambassador seemed to make a rather quick retreat and once he was gone it was decided that we should contact the enterprise" Jim decided to cut in at this point.

"Spock pulled me to the side and told me that communications with the ship were not working so I tried on my Comm thinking his may have somehow been damaged. Commander Spock and Ensigns Reigns and Daniels had fallowed us into the room I was staying in." Spock nodded his affirmation to what Jim was saying.

"It was only 17 seconds after the Ensigns had entered the room the hallway exploded. The captain and two security officers were knocked to the ground while I was left standing. Ensign Daniels received an injury but Reigns and the captain were left unharmed-"

Jim was quick to get himself righted and up off the ground. Ensign Daniels groaned out in pain from where he was on the ground. Jim looked to Spock who was still by his side and then they both moved over to the fallen Ensign. Reigns had his hand clamped firmly over the gushing would on Daniels leg. Jim cursed as he saw the blood and Jim looked back to Spock. The Vulcan was already kneeling by Ensign Daniels wound and scanning him for any further damage.

"Keep pressure on that wound I am going to check the damage, see if there is a way to get out of here." Jim easily stripped off his command gold shirt and passed it to Reigns who started wrapping the heavily bleeding wound.

Jim made his way over to the area that had once housed the doorway and carefully peeked out from the room. The destruction he caught sight of didn't surprise him. The hallway was in ruins. The walls on one side were crumbling down and part of the upper floor had found its new home on their floor. Part of the floor on the other side of the hallway had caved and the rooms where the ensigns would have been staying were completely destroyed. Spocks room was in bad shape but the Vulcan could have walked away from it.

Jim stepped back into the room and looked to Spock "How does he look? Can we move him?" Spock simply nodded and then Jim was by Reigns side and they were both hauling Daniels onto his feet. The security officer leaned heavily on his friend and looked to the captain.

"How does it look captain?" The injured Ensign spoke, his voice betraying the strong mask he had on and cracking with the pain that he was feeling.

Jim sighed "Doesn't look good, both sides of the hallway have caved in and there isn't a way to get to the stairs. We will have to navigate to the lower floor through one of the holes and go from there to the stairs. Hopefully they are still intact." Spock took Jims vacated spot at the door and quickly assessed the damage himself.

"Captain, from what I can tell the intent was to get rid of Ensigns Reigns and Daniels, not to cause us much physical harm. The building in an of its self does not appear to have any structural damage. I believe it was intended that there be a way back up to this floor" Jim nodded in affirmation and then took his spot on the other side of Ensign Daniels.

"That means we better start moving, I don't know how long until we will have unwanted guests and we have to get to a beam up spot before Ensign Daniels bleeds out." Spock gave one nod before heading out into the hall ahead of the captain. Spock found the clearest path and Jim helped guide the ensigns along the way. Daniels was in obvious large amounts of pain and Jim was not sure how long or far they could make it with the man like this.

Jim looked to Spock who was easily navigating across the hall and to one of the holes. The stoic man looked over the edge and looked over the his comrades that were currently by his side. Spock spotted the blood trail and looked to Jim.

"You will need to go down one at a time. I shall cover the blood so any pursuers cannot fallow the trail." Jim nodded his affirmation to his first officer and then nodded for Ensign Reigns to go down. Once the other man was on the floor below Jim slowly moved Ensign Daniels down, keeping a firm grip on his arm as he was lowered to the floor below.

Once the task of getting the ensign to relative safety was complete Jim looked over to Spock who had finished covering the trail.

"That won't distract them for long Spock. They will eventually realize that we moved to a lower floor." The Vulcan nodded and looked back for a second then headed for the hole.

"Then we must get moving Captain. He have a small window of time in which to leave the building."

Jim nodded and easily slipped through the hole along with his first officer. Ensign Reigns looked up at his captain and Jim took his position on Daniels other side before they started down the slightly clearer hall. Spock took up the lead, guiding the away team through the hall with relative ease and clearing any debris to make it easier.

Jim Stopped when they reached the door leading to the stairs and followed Spock over. Spock opened the door and Jim checked the stairs incase there was any damage to them. The stairs were just fine and Jim moved back over to the Ensigns and helped them through the door and over some debris that had fallen in the way.

Jim passed by Spock and gave his first officer a nod before he was in the stairwell and then he was followed by the ever calm Vulcan. Jim didn't hesitate as they started making their way down the stairs. He kept a firm Grip on Daniels who was already starting to become sluggish so Jim picked up the pace a little. On the second floor of the building Jim heard the loud bang of the first floor door being thrown open. The young Captain didn't waist any time as he quickly turned and pulled away from the ensigns to Open the door onto the second floor.

Ensign Reigns stumbled slightly but Spock swooped in and helped support Daniels as they moved quickly onto the second floor. Jim passed through the door just as a man in full uniform came up. The man saw the door closing and Jim knew that they had been found. The captain curse and quickly ushered the other three down the hall. At this point Daniels was grunting with every step and when Jim heard the sound of the door down the hall banging against the wall he took a quick turn down another hallway.

Jim Leaned against the wall and peeked around the corner as Reigns set down a groaning Daniels. The man looked to his captain and then Back at Spock who was scanning him yet again. The security officer knew he wasn't going to make it, he knew that an artery had been cut when the debris had hit him, he also knew that Reigns was refraining from telling him this. Daniels looked up at his young friend and then back at the captain.

"Captain, You need to leave." Jim went stiff at the others words, he knew what was coming, he had heard this to many times since he had become captain.

"Yeah Daniels, I know we gotta go but first we have to make sure you wont bleed to death in the next three minutes!" Jim prayed the other would not suggest what he knew the man was determined to do.

"Captain, You need to leave, I am only slowing you guys down. If you go now I can buy you a few minutes." Jim peeked back around the corner and a shot rang out.

"Shit! I am not leaving you here Daniels!" Daniels looked up at his friend who was now kneeling by his side and then looked to Spock. He stared at the Vulcan for a few seconds and then the man stood.

"Jim, Ensign Daniels Logic is sound. He will not make it long enough to get out of this building and if he were to stay here he would save us some time." Ensign Reigns closed his eyes and hung his head before griping his friends hand. Reigns stood and walked over to Jim, grabbed the man by the arm and Drug him over to Daniels.

Ensign and captain looked each other in the eyes and Jim crouched in front of the other.

"You know I can't leave you here to die like this." Ensign Daniels smiled up at his captain.

"Better to die saving your lives then to bleed out running away. I at least want to get a shot out on one of the bastards." Jim jerked his head to the side as the sound of stomping boots got louder and then he looked back to Daniels.

"This is really what you want?" Jim could already feel the guilt start rising in his chest and Daniels nodded.

"Go, Now, before the ass holes get here. And don't worry, I'll set my phaser to kill" Jim nodded and hesitated for a second before standing. Reigns knelt in front of his friend and they gripped each others hands.

"It was an honor to work with you Dhal'i (Dee-Hal-ee)" Daniels Grinned at his friends words and nodded.

"You to Charles, Be careful and keep our idiot captain safe." Reigns nodded and stood. Spock Gave a nod to the officer and the man nodded back, knowing that for the Vulcan first officer that was a pretty damn big deal. The three men didn't waste any time taking off down the hall. Halfway down the next hall Jim heard phaser blasts and thuds. He stopped and looked back before being yanked on by Ensign Reigns.

"The injury that Ensign Daniels received was severe but from past experience I knew not to state the obvious. He was not going to live through the next few minutes. The captain assessed the damage in the hall and found that there was no way to get to the stairs from out floor so we had to find a way down to the next one. When the explosion had occurred two holes had been blasted into the floor. We proceeded through those onto the next floor. From there we found our way to the stairs. Ensign Daniels at that point had already lost a great deal of blood and it continued on until we reached the second floor."

Jim froze as the memory came back to him and he leaned his head back closing his eyes.

" By that point Tri'axian guards were making their way up to our floor. I reacted fast and lead everyone onto the second floor. One of the guards caught the door as it was closing and we started on a rather mad dash down the hall. We took a turn and we set Daniels down so Spock could check his wound again. I knew it wasn't good but I didn't think that Daniels knew it. Before I had time to processes it he was asking us to leave him there, said it would buy us some time."

Jim heard bones inhale sharply and Jim could tell his friend knew where this was going. Spock continued from there.

"Ensign Daniels Logic was sound in this instant. He knew he was not going to live so he gave the captain ensign Reigns and I some extra time to escape. The captain did not wish to leave him but the ensign was firm on his decision and we started down the hall again. Approximately 2.3 minutes later we heard phaser fire and then what I can assume was body's hitting the ground-"

"Captain we need to go!" Ensign Reigns tugged on Jim's arm and the man didn't move.

"Captain, there was nothing we could do for Ensign Daniels, he stayed behind to give us some time. We must go before that time is lost" Spock grabbed Jims other arm in a strong grip and tugged the man for a second before he released him and they were all three running through the halls and trying to find their way to the stairs.

Finally they found the door they were looking for and Jim braced himself against the wall and nodded to Spock to open the door, phaser at the ready, and when the door was open Jim ducked around the corner and reckoned the stairwell before nodding to Spock and then Reigns went through and Spock last.

The three of them charged down the stairs, Jim and ensign Reigns breathing heavy, Spock now leading the way. When they reached the first floor Jim eyed the Exit door warily and then looked to Spock. The Vulcan nodded in understanding and braced himself against the wall before stealthily glancing out the window.

"There are two guards, both armed." Jim nodded his affirmation and then looked to ensign Reigns.

"If there are two at the back door we have no chance leaving through the front. Best course of action is to incapacitate the two guards here and then run like hell." Jim looked to Reigns and then to Spock who simply nodded. The captain sighed and looked to Spock.

"When I give the go you open that door and Me and Reigns will take care of the two guar-" The res tof what Jim was going to say is cut off by the door above them slamming open. Jim cursed heavily and then they were all three heading out the door.

Spock shot the first guard and Jim got the second one. The three took cover and assessed their situation. There were no gaurds and the building they had been in was heavily surrounded by several other buildings. If they ran they could easily make it to the cover of another building. The only problem was that they did not know exactly where in the city they were. The Tri'axians kept their capitol well hidden so that they would not have to worry about their enemies destroying it.

Jim Glanced around quickly and then turned to Spock "Commander do you have any idea where we are?" Spock pulled out his tricorder and then looked to Jim.

"I am afraid not Captain, I cannot get a clear scan of the city. It would seem that we are 'in the dark'" Jim sighed heavily and then looked to Reigns who was glancing around.

"Captain. It's quite… to quite. We were just being chased by guards and now I hear nothing-" Suddenly there was the sound of phaser fire and Jim came damn close to getting shot in the leg. The blond glared in the direction in which the shot had come from.

"FUCK! Run!" Jim got up and Spock and Reigns fallowed after, Reigns firing behind him at their pursuer. None of them knew exactly where they were going but they all knew it was better than staying around the building they had almost died in.

"We managed to gain enough distance on our pursuers to make it to the stairwell and down to the third floor. We where then posed with the problem of the guards posted at the exits. We were trying to solve the problem that we were facing when our pursuers made it to the stairwell. We wasted no time in vacating the building and incapacitating the guards that had been stationed just outside the door. We then took cover and tried to figure out our situation." Bones glanced at Jim who gave a simple nod. The doctor was glad to see that Jim was regaining his memory but he wasn't sure it was exactly safe.

The memories were coming back to fast and in to large of a quantity to be healthy for the blond but Bones made no comment.

"We were strategizing our next course of action when we were found and the Captain was almost injured but he was able to doge the phaser blast. From that point we ran into the city, deciding that we needed to find a place to hide and figure out a solution to our problem."

Jim panted heavily as he finally collapsed against the wall of the building they were currently behind. They had outrun the guards awhile back but the three of them had decided it would be best to stick to the alleyways and keep out of view and move as fast as they possibly could. Spock was leaning up against the wall beside Jim and Ensign Reigns was doubled over trying to catch his breath.

It took about five minutes before Jim and the ensign could catch their breath and then they were all standing close.

"Spock, we need to find out what's going on. This was planned, and not by some random terrorist group, the Tri'axian leaders were trying to get to us Spock, our rooms did not suffer much from the blast and had we all gone our separate way's like we had planned then their plan would have succeeded. Those bastards were trying to capture us Spock, they had a plan and they were willing to kill two people for it! We need to find out what that plan was." Spock nodded in affirmation.

"I agree Captain but I do not believe it is wise to stay on this planet much longer. We are obviously wanted men. If we stay the Tri'axian council may succeed in their goal to capture us" Jim shook his head and sighed.

"That is a risk we will have to take Spock, there is no chance if we leave this planet that we will find out what is going on. The Tri'axians will deny everything and the federation will never let us search for answers." Oh how Jim wished the words he said weren't true but all three of them knew that Jim spoke the truth. Ensign Reigns sighed and looked to his captain.

"So how are we going to do this captain? No doubt the capitol building is surrounded by guards by now. We don't have anyone on the inside and were down one man." Jim winced slightly at the last comment and then leaned against the wall, running a hand over his face and closing his eyes in thought. It was hard to say, he didn't have a plan quite yet and they didn't have much time.

Jim sighed slightly and then looked up at the other "Alright, here's what were gonna do…"
