Carolanne ran through the corridors of Galactica as fast as she could. She had heard the ship's crew talking about an angry Admiral taking a Raptor and going to kick the Vice President's ass. She knew immediately that they had found out about Zarek and that he was involved in Roslin's assassination. If Bill was going to Zarek then that stupid bastard would start talking soon and Bill would find out that she was one of the people involved in Roslin's assassination and when he finds out, he will immediately come to her and ask for her explanation. It was just matter of time. However, Carolanne did not intend to meet Bill's anger, which she knew too well in her opinion.

She stepped in the hall leading to Life Station. She had to do it. There was no other way. She had to kill Laura Roslin or she would never get her husband back. She knew that when this freaking woman was dead then Bill would be all hers. Of course, he would be sad for a few days but she would be there for him and she would take his pain away.

She looked around but found no one. That was good; it meant that everything would go as she had planned it in first place. She quickly walked to Laura Roslin's bed and looked down at her. Oh how she would pay for what she had caused her.

Xxxxxxx

Bill stepped out from the Raptor and started to walk down the corridor.

"Bill!" Saul called after him.

"I'm going to the Life Station." Bill stated calmly, without turning around to face his friend.

"What about Carolanne?" asked Saul.

"I don't care about her. Take some guards and go get her." Bill said that and turned around to continue on his way.

"What then?" asked Saul again. Bill turned to his friend again. There were times that he thought his friend was a complete idiot.

"I don't know, Saul, take her to the brig or throw her out an airlock. Do whatever you want; I don't care, not anymore."

Saul opened his mouth to speak again but Bill raised his hand to silence him and continued down the corridor.

After a few minutes he walked through the door, he continued down the corridor in search of Laura's bed lost in his own thoughts. He was a few meters away from the place when he looked up and stopped dead at his tracks. There was his ex wife holding a pillow over his currents wife's face. Bill did not what to do, every thought he had in his head before just went out the window at the sight of Carolanne trying to kill Laura.

Bill quickly got hold of himself and ran towards Laura's bed.

"Carolanne stop! You'll kill her!" yelled Bill. He quickly reached the place, grabbed Carolanne by the shoulders, and tried to remove her from Laura. He looked up and saw on the monitor, monitoring Laura's life signs that her heart was slowing down and was slowing down fast. Bill finally managed to remove Carolanne successfully from Laura and yelled for help.

"Bill let her die; she's just keeping us apart." Carolanne told him.

"You're sick, Carolanne." said Bill, holding her by her wrists.

"No, Bill, you don't understand. She had always been between us."

"Because she had always held my heart, that's why."

"No, you are just saying that. It's not true, tell me it's not..."

"Carolanne, I have never loved you. You have to except that."

The monitor started beeping. Bill turned to see what was happening. Laura could not get air. Where the hell was Cottle? Bill was so engrossed by Laura that he didn't see Carolanne's glare. She stepped hard on his foot and Bill yelped in pain, causing him to release his grip on her wrists. Carolanne started to run towards the exit. Bill was in so much pain, and the situation with Laura wasn't helping much, that he didn't care about anything else. He saw Cottle running towards the bed.

"Jack..."

"I got the idea when I saw Carolanne running as fast as she could towards the exit," he told Bill as he started helping Laura breathe. Soon the beeping from the monitor stopped and Laura's life signs returned to normal.

"Jack, will she be alright?" asked Bill, taking Laura's hand in his.

"Yes, she just could get enough breath because she has a cold that she wouldn't let me heal a few days ago. Stubborn woman. She'll be fine but I don't know when she'll wake up." he said sadly and left the Admiral alone with his wife.

Bill sat on the chair next to Laura's bed and buried his face in his hands that still held Laura's cold one. He didn't know how long he had stayed in that position but he didn't care.

"Bill..."

Bill thought that he had imagined it from too much missing Laura's voice already but decided to look up. When he did, he saw two extremely beautiful green eyes staring at him lovingly.

"Laura..."
