The Dark Side Of Life.
Chapter 9 : Are You Ready For This?
Spock didn't look at the two men as they talked amongst themselves. That was until he heard Admiral Marcus say a name. Not just any name, but Kirk's name.
Spock didn't turn to them, but he did listen in.
"So," Khan said. "I'll finally be able to meet this...Kirk?"
"Yes," Marcus looked towards. Spock. "I've called him in, he should be arriving at Star fleet head base any minute now."
"And then what?" Khan asked, even though Spock could tell the man already wanted to kill Kirk and get it over and done with.
"Well, we either get him to keep quite, or we...dispose of him." With that, the Admiral left the room. Khan chuckled to himself, turning back towards Spock.
"Well Spock, we best hurry up before our guest arrives..." Khan walked over to where Spock was, placing his hand on the Half Vulcan's neck - rubbing his thumb against Spock's lower lip. "You're lucky I have to get going - you will end up telling me where those children are eventually. For now, you'll stay here until I'm done." Khan turned on his heels and left, probably going the way Marcus had - leaving Spock by himself.
So many thoughts were running through the half Vulcan's head - if he had been human he was sure he would have gone mad. Spock turned towards the closed-door, his brown eyes glaring holes through it. He had to find away out of here, find the babies and then...
'Then what?' Spock thought. 'My home and people have all been destroyed, I have nowhere to go...Not anymore...'
It came as a shock when Kirk had been told that a hospital had been blown up and the hospital that had been blown up was the same one that he had taken Spock too a few days ago. He hoped beyond hope that Spock hadn't returned there. Almost 600 lives had been lost in the explosion, no one knew what happened - Uhura had said that Star fleet was looking into it - but that wasn't enough. Kirk wanted them to go there and help, but then his communicator had beeped - signaling that he had a call.
Kirk answered it. "Yes?"
"Capt. Kirk. This is Admiral Marcus, I want you to come in."
Kirk looked at his crew members around him, a bad feeling setting in his stomach. He didn't want to go, he wanted to look for Spock and make sure the babies were ok. "With all due respect Admiral, why do you want me to come in? Is it about the Hospital?"
He heard the Admiral sigh on the other end. "I guess your on the Enterprise, aren't you?"
"Yes Sir, but why - "
"...Yes, it's because of the Hospital." Marcus said, but his voice was stiff, like he was lying or something.
"..." Kirk didn't say anything at first, he had a funny feeling as his stomach felt as though it was knotting up. "Ok, when do you want me to come - "
"Now." With that the line went dead.
"Weird," Kirk muttered as he placed the communicator back in his pocket. He turned to Bones who was still looking over the Babies, Uhura seemed to be tranced by the babies - like she only just saw them. She moved forwards to where Bones was, her one hand slowly going down until she brushed her hand against the Brown eyed babies ears. The baby made a sound, but didn't end up crying. Bones turned to Uhura, waiting for her to finish.
"Oh, sorry." She said, pulling her hand back, Bones just nodded in reply.
Scotty was watching as the Babies small arms moved around as Bones finished up what he was doing. "Aww, the we' little bundles like ya' Doc." Scotty grinned, Bones just glared.
"Are they ok?" Kirk asked.
"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on them for now, hopefully they'll be fine in a few days." Bones responded, then he looked Kirk in the eye. "Are you ok Jim?"
"Errm, yeah, I just got to go see Admiral Marcus."
"Want us to come with you Captain?" Uhura spoke up, but was looking at the babies.
"No, I'll be fine. You guys stay here and look after them, I'll be back later..."
