PART 14:
"What did Ezral say?" Archer heard Reed ask as he entered their guest quarters.
"He was shocked to hear this was not an accident," Archer replied. "He's going to get his best men on it."
"What about us?" Reed asked. "What are we doing?"
"I told Ezral we'd like to look into this as well."
"We shouldn't get involved in other cultures matters," T'Pol said.
"What?" Reed said with a laugh. "You're kidding right."
"I don't kid," was T'Pol's reply.
"I think its a little late for us not to be involved, Sub-Commander," Archer said.
"I highly doubt that Commander Tucker was the intended target."
"And how did you come to that conclusion?" Reed asked.
"Commander Tucker has not spent time with anyone other than Liana, Ezral and us. He had no chance to make enemies with anyone."
"True," Archer said. "But when I talked with Liana and Ezral they said they've made no enemies in the time they've lived here."
"So the question still remains," Reed said. "Who is the intended target?"
"And if it is Commander Tucker they were after, why?" T'Pol said.
"That's what we're going to have to find out," Archer said. "Hopefully with us and Ezral's men working on this we'll get to the bottom of this."
"Since Commander Tucker isn't willing to return to the ship," Reed said. "What are we going to do about his safety?"
"Ezral has posted a guard outside of his hospital room and when Trip comes back here, he'll have one posted here," Archer said.
"What about the drill site?" T'Pol asked. "Do you want to stop drilling for now?"
"No," Archer said. "Let's continue on with our daily routine. I don't want this person knowing where looking for them."
