...Slow writer...Ok, I'll be honest, this chapter has been sat on my desktop for a fair few days... I was just waiting for reviews. I think this is the shortest chapter in the story, by quite a bit, but I couldn't think of much more to put. Oh, and by the way, If you put this story on alert, it would be nice to here why you put it on alert in a review... : ).

Jack shuffled around uncomfortably, thinking that there was very little space in his bed. He tossed and turned, trying to get more space. He suddenly stopped when he heard a mumble coming from behind him. He slowly opened his eyes to face a blank wall. Peering over his shoulder, he leapt up noticing he had fallen asleep with Kat Manx in the infirmary. If Felix OR Cruger found out about it, there would be hell to pay...

He stood up from the bed, thinking about leaving, but thought it would've been unfair, if he'd just run off like that. She was his girlfriend now, Right?

He walked round to her side of the bed, kneeling down. He found it amazing, how twenty four hours ago, he didn't really care about her or what she was doing, but now, he was commited to sleeping with her through the night to make her feel better. The thought made him smile. He could see that she was starting to stir, and it was giving him dejavu. He blinked hard to get rid of it.

As her eyes opened, she started to rub them, but winced, remembering the pain in her left hand. She laid her head back on the pillow, thinking over things, oblivious to Jack being there. Jack. She remembered and shot up, similar to Jack a few minutes before. She saw him stood beside her, smiling.

"What?"

"Nothing, you're cute when you're sleeping." She laughed lightly at his excusing comments.

"Oh, God! What time is it?" Kat asked him. Felix came to work at half seven. Cruger came to work at seven. Being there that long, she even knew everyone else's movements and timetable.

"Well, Kat, It is half past Six." He said looking at his watch. "Why, you got somewhere else you gotta be?" She laughed at another one of his comments, pushing him away.

"You should go soon. Cruger will probably be checking on me, and so will Felix."

"Well obviously. I could just stay and say that-"

"No. You really should go, you can get in a lot of trouble for this kind of thing." He leaned down and kissed her again.

"Ok, see ya later, I'll come and see you in a bit."

"Ok, Bye" With that he left, and Kat let out a deep sigh, still feeling tired. Slowly she laid back down onto the bed, being wary of her hand. She couldn't believe she'd got herself into this mess, and she didn't know how the heck she was gonna get herself out of it.

The buzzing of his alarm woke him up, but he just ignored it. Though steadily it was getting louder, so he reached over tho the bedside table, and was relieved when the constant noise stopped. Turning over onto his back, Doggie Cruger stared up to the ceiling. He really didn't want to leave his bed, it was so warm and inviting. But he sighed, knowing eventually he would have to. His eyes slowly began to close, as he thought about how regular his day would be, like everyday. But remebering something, he leapt up and out of bed, quickly getting dressed. Oh, it wasn't going to be a normal day, it was gonna be far from it.

Looking at his clock, he noticed he had slept in slightly, it was twenty past seven. Felix didn't get into the infirmary until half past, so he would have time to wait anyways. That being contrary to the point Kat was probably still asleep. He'd go and get breakfast.

Walking down the halls, he could see that the base was waking. As he got to the canteen, he scanned it for Felix, knowing he wouldn't be there, but checked anyway. He wasn't. He sighed, and walked towards the food synthezisers. Getting closer, he noticed Jack at one of them.

"Jack, what brings you down here so early?" Jack turned around at hearing Crugers voice, trying to keep cool.

"Uh, nothin' really, can't sleep." He turned back round, scanning through the different foods available, even though he'd lost his appetite.

"And why is that?"

"You know why." Cruger growled.

"You went to see her last night didn't you?" Jack turned back round to face him.

"No, I didn't, but I wanted to. I'm gonna see her today."

"Are you? And with who's permission?"

"Mine!" Jack walked out of the canteen. Cruger just stared after him. Looking at the clock above the door, he noticed time had passed. It was twenty to eight. Felix would be up now.

He walked towards the infirmary thinking of what to say. He wanted to be really honest, but he didn't want to hurt her either. It wasn't going to be easy. Coming up to the door he took a deep breath in, and walked in. Felix sat at his desk, and looked up from the paperwork he was working on. He didn't look the slightest bit surprised.

"She is in there," He said pointing to a door behind him. "If you are wanting to talk to her, then good luck, because she's refusing to."

"Thanks, Felix" He nodded in appreciation, and went towards the door. Closing his eyes, he slowly opened the door and stepped inside.

Opening them, he saw Kat sat up on her bed reading a real life magazine. After all these years, she still amazed him.

She looked up from the magazine to look at him. He could feel her eyes burning into him. After what seemed an eternity, she looked back down to the magazine, flicking the page.

"Good morning Kat." She stayed silent, and didn't look up at him.

"You can't Ignore me forever, you know that." But she continued to act as if he wasn't even there.

"We have to talk about this"

"No we don't" It was just a mumble, and he was sure he only heard it because of his hearing abilities, but it was better than nothing.

"Excellent, now we can start. I want you to feel comfortable talking to me. I have known you long enough now and I think you should put more trust in me" It took a long time before she looked up.

"Well I don't want to, and you can't make me" She just looked back down to the magazine. He could tell she was trying to make herself look ignorant. They had known each other a long time. She should feel safe and secure with him, but she didn't.

"If we can't talk about it, we cannot sort it out. We must sort it out." Slowly, she lowered the magazine, resting it on her lap. But she still didn't look at him.

"What do you want?"

"To talk. About you. You're upset over something, and I want to know what it is. We can help you. Tell me what it is."

"There's nothing. It's just... everything. I can't pinpoint it. It's just there, whatever it is."

"Well, what makes you upset. Thinking about what?"

"I don't have to think about anything. It just happened. Talking about it is not gonna help."

"It will, but only if you let it. I can't stay for too long, I have a base to run. I'll come back when you sort out your head." She looked at him for the first time as he walked out, letting out her breath as the door closed. She looked up to the ceiling thinking about everything yet again. What right did she have to go around like this. Getting off of the bed she knew what she had to do.
