"Leena? Sorry to bother you but have you seen Kally?" he asked her. She looked up from her work on the Gunsniper.
"I think she's with Jamie Dad. Why don't you want to talk to Kally? Is it about the row Leon and Kally had?" Leena asked curiously.
"Never you mind Leena. Just some ruffled feathers I have to soothe." Doc said gently. "Do you know were Jamie and Kally would be then?"
"Last time I saw them they were in the living room." Leena said with a shrug confused about her father's evasive answers.
"Thanks Leena." Doc said quickly escaping from the hangar to get away from Leena's quiestions. Swiftly he walked down the hall heading for the living room.
*_*
"So. Are you two a couple or what?" an inquisitive Brad asked.
"Yep." Kally said with a shrug. "Gotta problem with it?"
"Nope. Never thought you'd get a girlfriend before Bit Jamie." Naomi said with a laugh. Jamie flushed a bright red glancing at his girlfriend. His eyes lit up and his smile softened when he looked at her. Seeing the look Kally gave him a swift kiss.
"Ehem. How about doing that when you're not in our company?" Brad said rolling his eyes at the love struck pair.
"Whatever." Kally said rolling her eyes back at Brad.
"Kally?" Doc said peering around the door.
"Yes Doc?" Kally said smiling at him.
"Can I have a word in my office?" Doc said seriously.
"Sure Doc." Kally said rising to follow him.
"Don't be long." Naomi said making kissing noises. Before leaving Kally made a rude gesture at Naomi.
*_*
"Kally I'm sorry to drag you in here but I have some important things I need to talk about with you." Doc said gently. He softly closed the door and retreated behind his desk.
"Sit. Please." He said gesturing to the chair behind her that Leon had recently vacated.
"I know you might find this a touchy subject." Doc said uncertainly. Kally stiffened - 'great he's going to ask me about what happened between Leon and me' she thought in dismay.
"I wanted to know why you went out with Leon all those years ago." Doc said hesitantly refusing to look her in the eyes.
"How'd you know? Leon wanted to keep it a secret so I did. Did he tell you?" Kally said her voice rising in panic.
"Calm down Kally. We found out accidentally - when you had that row with Leon not that long ago." Doc said soothingly.
"We? Who else heard?" She gasped.
"Umm. Your uncle." Doc said sighing. 'Great. I just had to let it slip that Oscar was here as well. She won't tell me anything now.'
Kally sighed tears gathering in her eyes. 'At least I can get it off my chest.' She thought miserably.
"Leon and I went out I gather you know was when I was 11. He kissed me and I got offended so I belted him. He used to bring me these presents, flatter me and make me feel like I was special. He asked me out a couple of times but I said no I wasn't ready. Third time he asked I gave up and we finally went out. He wanted to keep it a secret so I agreed. He was pressured by his friends to go further than the limitations we had agreed to. And so he tried to and I broke up with him. We became good friends and he went on to date older girls. Nothing much." Kally said refusing to look him in the eye after she had finished.
"Hmmm. What about when you were thirteen?" Doc enquired.
"How'd you? Never mind." Kally said sinking low in her chair.
"We got back together not long after Aunt Sasha got really sick and had to stay in hospital." Kally said refusing to look the Doc in the eyes.
"And?" he prompted.
"We went a lot further than I really anticipated." Kally said uncomfortable.
"Like? Bedding one another?" Doc asked raising an eyebrow.
Kally looked at him turning away in shame and slowly nodded.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of really Kally. I'm not really that surprised it happened when it did." Doc said understandingly.
"What the hell do you mean by that?" Kally said glaring at him angrily. 'He knows nothing about the way I felt.' She thought irritably to herself.
"Well. Now that I think about it when Sasha was in hospital - Oscar dropped you off here every morning. I remember that we paid more attention to Rasaal and Jamie because simply she was their mother. I feel ashamed to admit it now. I'm sorry. You were always left to your own devices - nobody bothered to give you a bit of love, you rarely got to see your aunt, and the list goes on. I believe that Leon was the only one who made you feel loved and you felt you had to repay him by giving what he wanted. Am I right?" Doc asked gently.
"Yes." Kally said tears blurred her vision. Doc got up and hesitantly wrapped his arms around her heaving shoulders.
"It's alright Kally. You can cry now." He said gently holding her as she cried her eyes out.
"I miss Aunt Sasha so much." She cried hoarsely.
"I know little one. We all do." He said soothingly ignoring the knock on the door.
"Dad?" a voice enquired through the door. Slowly the door opened to reveal Leena and Naomi. "Dad. I'm sorry to interrupt but there's a big problem."
"What?" he said anxiously cuddling the broken-hearted girl.
"Leon's is trying to strangle Jamie." Leena said.
"What?!?" Doc said releasing Kally. Kally looked up blearily.
"What?" she asked softly.
"Leon's is trying to kill your boyfriend." Naomi said. Doc growled angrily stroming after his daughter. A worried Naomi helped Kally along.
*_*
They entered the living room to see Bit and Brad struggling to hold back an enraged Leon. Jamie lay in a crumpled heap by the wall. Doc thundered over to his son.
"Leon. What'd you do?" Kally gasped in horror. She struggled over to her boyfriend's side - her knee was impeding her movements again.
"Jamie?" She said tears began to slide down her face. Slowly she reached out to touch his face. Leon stared at Jamie and Kally flabbergasted.
"Jamie?" she whispered. She looked over his still form - took in the fingermarks around his neck.
"Oh God." Doc gasped kneeling beside her. Quickly he felt for a pulse - there it was beating weakly.
"Leena. Call for an ambulance now." Doc ordered.
"Jamie?" Kally uttered again. She began to shake like a leaf.
"It's alright Kally." Naomi said gently trying to sooth the terrified girl.
"Jamie's dieing isn't he?" She choked out.
"No Kally he's not." Doc said softly hoping.
"S'all right." Naomi said soothingly looking helplessly at Leon.
