CHAPTER-10
"Okay, now if you don't want your pretty little engineer's brains blown out, you will listen to what I have to say," Joseph Webber in a hard cold tone. I my eyes drift over to Pavel's, whose are wide with fear.
"Okay Joe, can I call you Joe?" asks Captain Kirk, who is acting oddly casual. "What would you like to talk about?" he asks not waiting for an answer to his previous question, suddenly Doctor Marcus bursts into the room, but is instantly pulled back by Scotty.
"Well for starters, you and your crew skipped out on my little game. I feel slightly cheated Captain; I at least thought Starfleet officers had a sense of integrity."
"Well I don't think it would impede our integrity that much if we broke a promise to a sociopath in order to escape imprisonment."
"A sociopath?" he asks.
"I vould rather you not insult zee man zat is holding a phaser to my girlfriends head." Pavel whispers rather loudly to Captain Kirk.
"Its fine Chekov, I was just saying that there has to be something wrong with this guy." Captain Kirk responds, gesturing to Webber. He then directs his words back to Webber, "So Joe, what exactly is wrong with you?"
"Are you attempting to push your luck Captain?" he asks, and I can hear the smirk in his voice.
"No not at all. I just want to get an answer to the question that has been bugging me since the first day we met. So what is it Joe? Did your mom not love you enough? Did your Uncle have a little too much fun during play time? Were you abandoned? Ostracized? Abused? What exactly could have happened to make you as fucked up as you are now?!" he asks his voice getting louder as he speaks.
"I guess you really don't mind being short one engineer. Maybe I won't kill her, if you won't mind her absence." He says and I almost sigh in relief, but I am cut short by his next comment, "Maybe I will take her with me. To keep me some company, it does get rather lonely down there. And it has been so long since I have felt a woman's touch, especially one as young and ripe as this one." He says, causing me to suddenly feel very ill.
"Go to Hell." I say clearly back to him, my voice over flowing with venom.
"A feisty one isn't she? Your navigator is a lucky guy, or should I say was." He says in an amused voice, "Sure you will fight me but that only makes it more exciting." Webber whispers in my ear, putting is hand on my abdomen and pulling me back against him
I look back at Pavel and I notice his fists are clenched, but despite his obvious anger his face is drained of color.
"Man, you are really fucked up," comments the Captain.
"Well, we really should be going," says Webber, he then turns his attention for Pavel, "Well I hope you don't mind, but your girlfriend doesn't seem like she is going to be entirely faithful." He says, making Pavel's face turn whiter if possible.
"So that's it? You're just giving up on your 'Game'? Why did you follow us then?" asks the Captain.
"I know you were all really looking forward to my game, but it's obvious that won't happen now. And I couldn't just start killing all of you, I am outnumbered. If I can't have all of you, I mine as well take what I can get." He says pressing me against him further.
"The hell you will!" it was Doctor McCoy this time.
"Well I don't think you can really do anything to stop me, Doctor. You see I am in what one might call a power position," replies Webber, amused.
"You do realize that once you take her we will just come after you?" asks the Captain.
"And what makes you think I will stay here?" Webber responds. "I have one of your engineers, and knowing that you have an evident hero complex, I obviously don't believe you will just let me leave with her. But I unlike you am well acquainted with this part of the universe, so the likelihood of you finding us is low."
"You seem pretty confident in yourself?" asks the Captain.
"Well not only myself, but my resources," Webber replies. "Well, we should be going."
"You are not taking her anyvhere!" yells Pavel angrily, finally speaking out loud, he surprises me slightly, this being the first time I have ever seen him yell in anger. An idea suddenly hits me, and I think I know what to do.
"No Pavel." I tell him.
"Vhat?" he replies, obviously confused.
"No. I want to go with him." I say stunning everyone in the room.
I quickly turn around before Webber can do anything and I press my lips against his cold slimy ones, shocking not only him.
Before he knows what's going on I hastily knock the phaser out of his hand and take out my own. As soon as the phaser leaves his hand I knee him in the crotch, making him fall to the floor.
"Asshole." I say, I then spit on the floor to get the taste of his tongue out of my mouth.
"Nice job Sholtz!" says Captain Kirk happily.
"Thank you Captain." I reply.
"Would you like to do the honors?" Captain Kirk asks to me grinning.
"I would like nothing more." I say and I grab Webber roughly by his graying hair, "You are being taken into custody by the federation, anything you say or do will be used against you in a court of law." I say into his ear. I then throw him back down on the floor and, security then enters the room and takes Webber away to the brig.
"Excellent job Ensign." says Commander Spock, who has thoroughly surprised me with his silence.
"Thank you, Commander." I reply.
Once Webber has left the room I rush over to Pavel and before he even has a chance to do anything I wrap my arms around his neck and I press my head onto his chest. He responds by wrapping his good arm around my waist, and planting a kiss on my forehead.
"How about we give these two some privacy," says the Captain as he claps Pavel on the back. He then steps of the transporter pad and takes Carol's hand and they walk out the door, followed by the rest. Before Emma leaves I look at her and I give her a small smile, but she only responds jokingly with a suggestive wink.
"You vere scarily convincing." Pavel says into my dark hair.
"I guess being in Drama Club in high school actually paid off." I say, making him laugh. "I love you."
"I love you too." He replies.
"Oh shit! Your arm!" I exclaim just remembering his injury, "We need to get you to medical!" I say and he only laughs as I pull him out the door.
.….. …... … … … … … …... … …. ….. …. ….… … … …. …. …. …... ….. ….. … … … …
It's been nearly a month since the Webber incident, and things have finally started returning to normal.
"Pavel! Guess what!" I say, bursting into Pavel's quarters knowing that he would be back since Alpha shift ended an hour ago.
"Vhat?! Vhat?!" he asks, obviously startled by my sudden appearance.
"I just talked to the Captain! He said that he would like me to start coming on away missions from now on!" I tell him excitedly. The Captain, or Jim as he prefers me to call him, has been impressed with me ever since the Webber incident.
"Zat's great!" he replies and catches me when I practically jump into his arms, thank goodness his arm finished healing. I press my lips onto his excitedly, and I can feel his lips smile against mine, once I pull away, I can see his wide smile. "I have zomething to tell you as well."
"What?" I ask.
"Ve have been granted two veeks of shore leave on zis planet!" he responds excitedly, and I can't help but smile widely.
"Really?! That's great!" I say, but then I remember something, "Wait! Isn't this planet covered in oceans?" I ask, to which he just nods. "That means beaches…. Well I guess you were going to see me turn into a lobster sometime." I joke, which makes him chuckle.
"It iz four to a beach house, so do you vant to do you, me, Emma, and Hikaru?" he asks me.
"That sounds great!" I reply, already excited for the next two weeks, but not very excited for the sunburn that accompanies it.
