PART 17:
Archer walked onto the bridge. He'd just left Trip's quarters and Trip had promised him before he left he would go straight to see Doctor Phlox.
Archer walked up to his chair where T'Pol was still sitting.
"I'll take over," he told her.
"Captain," T'Pol said. "May I speak with you for a moment about Commander Tucker."
"Sure," he said and looked at Travis. "Ensign you have the bridge."
He and T'Pol walked into his ready room.
T'Pol turned and faced the Captain as soon as the doors to the room closed.
"Have you noticed a change in Commander Tuckers behavior over the last couple of days?" she asked.
"Yeah I've noticed some what of a change," he answered wondering what T'Pol was trying to get at.
"You and I aren't the only ones who have noticed," she said. "I've heard many crewmembers complain about Commander Tuckers new behavior."
"Why is this the first I'm hearing of this?" Archer asked.
"I didn't think anything of it until it was reported that those drugs were stolen from sickbay."
"And you think Trip is the one who took them and is using them right now?"
"The notion had crossed my mind," she said.
"Trip wouldn't do that," Archer said.
"You don't know that."
"Yes I do. Trip and I have been friends for a long time. I think I'd know if he was doing drugs."
"Are you sure of that?" she asked.
"Look, Sub-Commander," Archer began. "Trip's just a little stressed from working to many hours. I've order him to go see Doctor Phlox today and find out what else is going on?"
"I hope you're right captain," she said. "I hope that's all it is just stress." She turned and walked out.
Archer sighed. He knew Trip better than anyone on the ship. He knew he wouldn't do drugs. If he knew all this, then why was that little voice in the back of his head still nagging at him?
Maybe with Trip going to see Phlox, they'd get some answers.
