PART 7:
Archer walked into Sickbay and spotted Phlox and Reed standing by one of the workstations.
"What's going on?" he asked as he walked up to them.
"Seems Doctor Phlox is missing a whole box of morphine," Reed reported.
Archer looked at Reed and then Phlox. "Morphine?"
"I'm afraid so sir," Phlox said. "I was getting ready to set Ensign Littleton's leg and when I came over here to get some morphine for him, I noticed that it was gone."
"And just how much of this morphine was taken?" Archer asked.
"It was a brand new box," Phlox said. "150 packets where taken."
"And you have know idea when they were taken?"
"No sir, I generally don't use morphine."
Archer turned towards Reed.
"Let's keep this among the senior officers," Archer said.
"Aye, sir."
"I'll let Trip and T'Pol know what's going on," Archer informed him. "Let me know as soon as you find anything out."
"I will," Reed said.
"All right then, Lieutenant Reed," Archer said. "This investigation is officially yours."
Archer turned and walked out of sickbay.
"I've read about humans who abused morphine," Phlox said. "I never actually believed I'd meet one who was doing it."
"Do you lock up the morphine at night?" Reed asked.
"Every night," Phlox said.
"What about during the day?"
"I don't understand what you mean?"
"Anytime you leave Sickbay," Reed explained. "Do you lock up the morphine?"
"No I don't," Phlox answered.
"How come?"
"Most of the time I'm in a hurry to get somewhere to help someone out."
"I suggest from now on you lock it up before you leave," Reed said.
"I certainly will try to remember".
"I'm sure someone who is hurt," Reed began. "Can wait a few minutes more while you lock it up."
Phlox just shook his head yes.
"Don't worry, this isn't your fault."
"And how could this not be my fault Lieutenant?"
"You didn't know we had someone into drugs on this ship," Reed said. "You probably did us a favor."
"And how is that?" Phlox asked.
"Now we know," Reed said. "Just think if we never found out and this person who ever it may be makes a tremendous mistake that jeopardizes everyone else on the ship."
"I see."
"Don't worry, Doctor," Reed said. "I'll find out who did this before anything like that can happen."
"Just let me know what happens with the investigation Lieutenant," Phlox said.
"I will," Reed said and walked out.
