"Coma… coma" the words echoed through Chakotay's thoughts. Chakotay's mind was wondering again.

"Captain Chakotay, you'll be first for questing." Tuvok's words finally woke Chakotay from his daze. "Questing?" Chakotay said surprised.

"She's back and alive, barley, but she is. Lets just stay with her. Why let her die with all this tension floating around."

"Captain Chakotay, by saying this logic would suggest that there's something that you're hiding." Captain Tuvok waited patiently for an answer.

"Tuvok I've had it, I don't give a damn about whether or not you understand feelings. But right now we are all hurting inside because were sitting here waiting for our best friend to die. And you want me to leave so you can question me just so you can accuse me of being the perpetrator that is probably halfway to deep space 5 by now."

"Please calm down Captain" Tuvok said hoping that the conversation would calm down. But Tuvok only made him angrier.

"You want me too calm down?" He screamed. Chakotay swung at Tuvok. Before he landed the punch, B'Elanna's hand came out of nowhere and blocked it.

"Oh B'Lanna I get it, you're on his side lets get questioned while Kathryn slowly dies. And when we come back she'll be dead and we'll be one step farther from finding the culprit."

B'Elanna's face turned red. She was ready to burst.

"I have had it with all of your damn bickering. Dammit Chakotay just go. If she does die, would she like it like this? Huh? All of us fighting and… and not getting along. Just go Chakotay. Don't do this to Kathryn, not today." B'Elanna's words melted Chakotay in side. Somehow, she knew that they did.

"Just go. Just go." B'Elanna said again

Finally, Harry decided to speak up.

"I remember that one time when you first became first officer. You promised that you'd do anything for her?" Chakotay nodded.

"Do this for her, just this one last thing." Harry had landed just the right words.

"I'll go, but when I come back she better be alive, or I'll show you the living hell Kathryn went through Tuvok."

Tuvok escorted Chakotay out of the room. Into a room ten floors down with no windows and one light.

"Please have a seat captain."

"Sure, anything for the almighty Tuvok!"

"Excuse me Captain, but I do not think that sarcasm will better this experience."

"Nothing will" Chakotay murmured under his breath.

"What was that Captain?" Chakotay rolled his eyes.

"Nothing, nothing."

Tuvok nodded and cleared his throat.

"Captain, were where you exactly 3 months and two nights ago."

Chakotay hesitated to answer.

"At home."

"For the record where is your home located?"

"W… Wash… Washington State." Tuvok's left eyebrow raised.

"When did you first find out that Admiral Janeway was missing?"

"A day latter but I had to wait another twenty four hours before I could report her missing."

"So captain," Tuvok said as if he was on to something.

"You were the first person to realize that she was missing, and the first to report that status?" Chakotay shook his head.

"Yes, May I go now?"

"Of course." Chakotay got up from his seat, pushed it back under the table and headed for the door.

"Uh Captain one last question."

"Why not?" Chakotay said. The way that he said it greatly perturbed Tuvok.

"Was there anybody at your house the day before you noticed she was missing."

Chakotay shook his head.

"Yes"

"May I ask who it was? Someone to validate your alibi."

"You could try but you wouldn't get much out of her."

"Just a name Captain." Chakotay laughed

"If only it was all that easy."

"Just a name" Tuvok said with a hint of agitation.

"Is there something your hiding captain. Because if there is, we could always get you a lawyer. But if you have nothing to hide."

"Okay, you want your answer. Yes, I am afraid to say it because it might incriminate me. But if you have to know here you go. The day before I was with Kathryn, you know the one that's laying half dead up stairs. Now if you don't mind, I would like to…"

Before Chakotay could finish, there was a combadge beep.

"Doctor to Captain Chakotay and Captain Tuvok." Chakotay started to breathe hard. This is it he thought, this is it.

"I would like you two to know that the Admiral has awaken from her coma."

"Understood doctor."

Chakotay didn't waste anytime. He ran toward the turbo-lift leaving Tuvok way behind him.
