The two boys must work together to survive, and so will be tested in their morals, their hope, and gain a friendship neither one expected.

Chapter 13

Jim fidgeted; soon he was going to be surrounded by angry Romulans whom he apparently was not allowed to kill. Just wonderful. And even though Spock had some pretty valid points, Jim was still pretty sure there were good times to kill. He just couldn't really think of anything to back that up off the top of his head. Oh well. He could argue about it later. Hopefully.

"You may as well know, Jim, that the death of one of their fellow Romulans in front of them would almost definitely shock them out of what control I have of them."

"Right." Jim was still fingering his shurikens and biting his lip, ready to wreak havoc on a moment's notice. He felt a line of sweat roll down his face. He hadn't been this tense since he'd been a kid, stuck in the jungle, terrified of everything that was happening with only Spock for comfort. Even after all these years, Spock was still his superhero.

"Jim. It will be alright."

Jim looked up at Spock, a small smile playing over his lips. Everything would be alright.

The turbolift opened. Spock gasped, pressing a hand to his head, He staggered, and Jim quickly slipped under his arm to support him. "Hurry." Spock gasped. "I can't…"

Jim began to walk, and Spock managed to right himself. They set off at a kind of run through engineering. Spock gasped, and pointed shakily to where many of the members of engineering were being held. "Release… distraction."

Jim nodded. They couldn't release the prisoners and let them run riot all over engineering, or course, that would too easily give away Spock and Jim. The Romulans would be on the lookout for whoever let the prisoners go, and they would be uncovered. No… better to loose one or two which would secretly cause chaos.

Jim left Spock behind a supporting beam, and ran over to the prisoners. Pulling out his knife he loosed one of them, and pulled him away, motioning for the others to stay where they were.

Spock wouldn't be able to make this one invisible, the strain was already far more than he should be taking. The man ran off, after Jim whisperedly explained his job to him, and a few seconds later a console shorted out. A bit after that so did another. Confused, the Romulans clustered. Spock released his hold on them for a bit. Jim knew they wouldn't get a better opportunity. Grabbing Spock he ran towards the door.

Just a few seconds that's all they needed…

"Hey, you there, what are you doing?"
