Chapter 15
The ship pulled into the docking bay, and almost immediately, paramedics fled inside, to rescue Hein and carry him away on a stretcher. As they ran off with him, Aki frowned as she saw Hein's eyes flicker with fear, and saw his hand...reaching out to her.
"Aki..." he mouthed, before passing out once again.
Dr. Sid was the first to greet Aki when she left the ship. "Well? Did it work?" he asked.
Aki shook her head, closing her eyes. "No, Sid. Didn't you see the paramedics run off with him?" she asked, her throat closing as the tears came. "He...reached for me before he passed out again, Dr. Sid," She whispered. Sid placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Go to him, Aki. He needs you."
Aki nodded and jogged off to the operation room, where Hein had been taken.
------
Hein's face grimaced with pain as the doctors tried desperately to control and destroy the phantom.
With strong determination, she pushed past the others, and pushed the main doctor out of the way.
"Get out of my way, it's my turn."
"But-" the thin, elderly doctor complained.
"No buts! Just stay back and out of my way. I have a major to save here."
Aki took over the controls, imputing her entire concentration on the particle that was shown.
Moving the laser....LOCKED. Kapow. She shot the laser...again, and again...the particle moved viciously...but still...Got smaller and smaller...it was going to be okay....
*ZAP!* The final blow, and the particle disintegrated. A red word came on screen. "COMPLETE".
Aki sighed with relief. It had worked after all.
--------
*Knock knock*
Hein groaned from where he lay. The operation had drained the majority of his strength. He didn't want to see anyone right now.
"Major Hein...it's me," came Aki's voice from outside the door.
At the sound of her voice, Hein perked up a little. "Aki?" he asked.
"Yes, Hein. I'm Aki. Can I come in?" she replied, a smile in her voice. She was laughing at him...again.
"Whatever...." he muttered.
The door slid open, and Aki walked in, a triumphant smile on her face.
"We did it," she announced, pulling up a chair and squeezing his hand. She admitted he looked particularly cute in his gray sweatpants and T-shirt, lounge clothes, as she'd call them, just lying there...so innocently.
"What do you mean 'we'? You did the operation."
"You survived, " she shot back, with a grin.
He sighed. "You win," he muttered.
She grinned. "I always do."
"So what are we doing next, Oh Brilliant One," Hein shot back snidely. She swatted his hand and smiled.
"We have one more spirit wave to find," Aki replied.
Hein groaned. "No...Not again. You're going to put my life in danger AGAIN, for something like a little worm or a squirrel that you could easily get by yourself?"
Aki grinned. "You helped me on both of those occasions. You picked up the worm, you boosted me up to the tree. There, wiseguy. You helped me. You might as well even be considered...my partner."
---------
Hein snorted. "Your partner? Just where do you get off calling me your partner, missy? I'm a major, and you're a doctor. Wow. Partners in crime," he scoffed.
"Shut up, Hein. Your sarcastic side really pisses me off."
"Well, maybe I want to piss you off so you can leave."
"I have the feeling you don't want me to leave."
"And if I said that I didn't want you to leave, what would you say?" he asked, turning towards her.
"I'd say that's bullshit."
"You'd be wrong."
That caught Aki off guard and she forced her eyes away from his smiling green ones.
