I walked in just in time to hear the CO yell at Nav. I was about to step in when I saw her use the glare that worked on everyone else but myself, the CO and X. I grinned as I thought about what I'd heard as I was heading here. "There's only one person other than me who can help me and he already has" Could she mean me? I was wondering when she was going to notice me when she spun around, obviously to leave when she finally noticed me. I grinned at her. She pushed past me and ran.
"Buffer, do you know who hurt her?" Mike asked. I carefully considered my answer.
"Yes sir I do," I said finally.
"Well then tell me!" he exclaimed. There was no hesitation this time.
"I can't sir," I said.
"Well why the hell not?!" he yelled at me.
"I promised Nav," I replied. "And I refuse to break a promise to a friend." He growled at me.
"I don't care whether you promised her or not!" he yelled. "I am ordering you to tell me who the hell hurt her. Now do you understand me?"
"Yes sir," I said. "Perfectly sir. However that doesn't change the fact that I promised her and I will not break my promise." With that I turned around and strode out.
After leaving the CO I went looking for Nav. I finally found her on the top deck, with tears streaming down her cheeks.
"Nav its ok," I said gently.
"No its not," she said spinning around to face me. "Now the CO knows all about me and……" I interrupted her.
"No he doesn't. I refused to tell him," I said. Nav stared at me.
"You refused to tell him?" she asked. When I nodded she asked "But why?" I knew that this was my chance to tell her how I felt, but I didn't know if I had the courage.
