Chapter 9

"Should we go in, Sulu?" Uhura asked. "Most people don't like to be disturbed during lovemaking."

"This is a special exception. We're going in," Sulu said as he walked into the room, Uhura following close behind. They looked on the king sized bed, to find Kirk sound asleep, or so they thought.

"I don't think our captain is asleep," Sulu solemnly said as he felt for the pulse on Kirk's wrist. "He isn't breathing, and he has no pulse."

"Oh, Sulu, I can't believe it," Uhura said as she put her arms around Sulu and put her head down on his shoulder. "Our captain is dead."

"I just wonder if the same thing has happened to Spock," Sulu said as he petted Uhura's hair to comfort her as she cried silently. "I'm contacting Scotty."

Sulu got his communicator out. "Scotty, it's Sulu. We found Kirk. We think he's dead."

"I'll beam him up, and get McCoy to check him out," Scott's voice came from the communicator. "Have you seen Spock?"

"Nope," Sulu replied discouraged.

"How is Mrs. Sulu?" Scotty joked.

"Uhura's fine," Sulu replied seriously. "This is Sulu, over and out."
