Chapter 5
The crew walked onto the Enterprise with John Harrison and the guards.
Jim took out his communicator, "Bones, meet me in the brig."
"Be right there," Bones replied.
Spock was going to follow Jim, but he felt Jasmine's hand on his shoulder.
"That was a beautiful thing you said," Jasmine whispered to Spock and kissed him. "Well I'm going our room to take these clothes off. And I was wondering if you want to help me," Jasmine walked off and smirked when she heard Spock following her.
STID
"Lieutenant," Jim turned to look at Uhura. "Contact Starfleet, let them know we have Harrison in custody, and we'll be on our way once the warp core is repaired."
"Yes, sir." Uhura nodded her head.
"Why the hell did he surrender?" Bones asked when he, Jim, Jasmine, and Spock headed towards security, where Harrison is held.
"I don't know. But he took out a squad of Klingons single-handedly. I want to know how."
"Sounds like we have a superman on board."
"You tell me."
Kirk, Spock, and Jasmine stood behind Bones while he moved a device over to make a hole through the glass.
"Put your arm through the hole," Bones instructed. "I'm gonna take a blood sample."
Harrison calmly walked up to the glass and put his arm through the hole. Jasmine watched closely as Bones injected him. She does have to admit that John Harrison is handsome, but he is a murderer. He killed the man that she looked up to as a father. Jasmine remembered when he went into the emergency room when she was in labor. At first she wanted Jim to go in, but he was freaking out. Jasmine also remembered when she put Grayson in Chris's arms and watched him with tears in her eyes. Jasmine wiped away her tears and listen in on the conversation.
"-stranding you on the edge of Klingon space?"
Bones looked at him…suspicious, "How the hell you know that?"
"Bones," Jim wanted Bones to be quiet.
"I think you've find my insight valuable, Captain," when Harrison said that, he was looking at Jasmine instead of Jim. Spock notice and moved in front of her.
"We good?" Jim asked Bones.
"Yeah," Bones answered.
"Let me know what you find," Jim walked off and Spock and Jasmine followed.
"Ignore me and you get everyone on this ship killed. Including your sister," that statement made Jim stop.
"Jim, let's just go," Jasmine tugged on Jim's arm. "Don't let that bastard get to your head."
"Captain, I believe he will only attempt to manipulate you. I would not recommend engaging the prisoner further."
"Give me a minute," Jim told Jasmine and Spock.
"No," Jasmine stood her ground. "I'm staying with you," Jasmine gestured for Spock to leave.
Jim and Jasmine marched up to Harrison. "Let me explain what's happening here. You are a criminal. I watched you murder innocent men and women. I was authorized to end you! And the only reason why you are still alive is because I am allowing it. So shut your mouth"
"Oh, Captain, are you going to punch me again over and over till your arm weakens and you have to have your sister to tell you to stop?"
"Hey!" Jasmine pointed to Harrison. "Now listen here you fu-"
"Clearly you want to, so tell me, why did you allow me to live," Harrison ignored Jasmine and continued to talk to Jim.
Jasmine was wondering the same thing. Why did he?
"We all make mistakes," Jim said.
"No. I surrendered to you because despite your attempt to convince me otherwise, you seem to have a conscience, Mr. Kirk If you did not, then it would be impossible for me to convince you of the truth. 23-17-46-11. Coordinates not far from Earth. If you want to know why I did what I did, go and take a look."
"Give me one reason why I should listen to you," Jim challenged him.
"I can give you seventy-two. And they're on board your ship, Captain. They have been all along. I suggest you open one up," Harrison looked at Jasmine. "You made a horrible mistake to let him watch your son, Commander."
"How the hell you know I have a son?" Jasmine glared at him.
"Commander, let's go," Jim commanded and Jasmine followed him out of the room.
