Laura walked slowly down the corridors. Bill had been very surreptitious about his plans for the up coming mission. He made it clear that he would be going and Laura knew there was no room for an argument. It was time to get to bottom of this. She wanted, no needed answers.

She walked into his quarters and watched him quietly. He back was turned but she knew he knew she was there.

"I know I can't get through to you so I'll just ask, why?"

Bill finished packing the remaining items in his duffle and without turning answered. "You wouldn't understand. I need you to trust me. Let me do this."

Laura wanted to stop him and make him explain his words and actions but instead she let him go.
