Hoshi sat on the bed watching Jon pace back and forth. Porthos, sensing a change in his master whimpered quietly. When the com beeped, Jon and Hoshi jumped, taken by surprise.
"T'Pol to Archer."
Jon glanced at Hoshi and answered, "Yes?"
"We have found a cure for the illness. It would be wise for you and Ensign Sato to report to Sickbay for treatment."
Jon's eyes widened and he answered, "Of course, Subcommander. We will be there shortly. Archer out."
He looked back at Hoshi.
"We're leaving," he said.
"What? Where?" she asked in surprise.
"There is something going on. I can feel it. We need to get off this ship and get a message back to Starfleet," he said, snatching a bag and throwing things in.
"I am not leaving this ship. If they have the cure then we need to get treatment. My head is killing me, and I can't keep my thoughts in order," Hoshi said, grabbing his arm.
"We really don't need to go through this again, do we?" Jon walked over, standing in front of her.
"I said I am not leaving, Jon." She stood with her feet braced apart, obviously prepared for battle.
Jon threw his bag over his shoulder and said, "OK. I guess we are going to do this again."
He walked over, leaning in and kissing her quickly.
"Ready?" he asked.
"Are you listening at all? I just said..."
Jon cut her off in mid sentence by picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.
She screamed, "Jonathan Archer, put me down this minute!"
He walked out opening the door and walking to the lift pressing the deck for Shuttlebay One. When they reached the bay, he sat her down. Walking over, he opened the door and set his bag inside. Hoshi, seeing him distracted, started to run for the door but was stopped by his voice.
"Hoshi, don't you trust me?"
She turned back toward him and sighed.
Suddenly the doors to the Shuttlebay opened, revealing T'Pol and Dr. Phlox.
T'Pol pointed a phaser at Jon.
"Captain, you are not well. Dr. Phlox would like to administer the cure now."
Jon reached out his hand toward Hoshi. She ran around him, standing behind him.
"I don't think that will be necessary," he said. Unexpectedly he charged T'Pol.
Then there was only darkness.
