Chapter 5

"I have nothing against them," Beka spoke up. "Nor I," Tyr followed. "Of course you don't Tyr you had fun with that Nietzshen chick." "What happened between me and Jolee is of none of your concern," He calmly stated as he leaned against his post. The crew had gathered in the command room of Andromeda discussing the crew of Cassiopeia's knight. "So it's a good report right?" Harper asked anxiously. "Sure well I'll go and put in okay?" without waiting he hurried out of the room.

************************************************************************

Harper sat in his room examining a picture. He sighed as he placed it on the bed and pushed himself to his feet. He grabbed his belt and walked out of the room ready to work. Minutes later: Rommie entered Harper's room concerned. He had been acting wired over the last few days and she nor her Ship self could explain. She came to his bed and picked up a glossy floppy. "Is this it?" She asked herself. Rommie's hologram appeared next to her. "Yep that's it," Rommie looked at the picture and smiled. "Look's like Harper's in love," Holo Rommie stated. "Should we ask?" "Why not?" Android Rommie took the picture and placed it back on the bed. She laughed to herself as she walked out of the room.

************************************************************************

Harper was hard at work in the belly of Andromeda when Rommie spotted him. "Rom doll what brings you to these neck of the woods?" He asked in his normal tone. "I only come to ask one question," "Ask away my love," Harper went back to work. "Harper who's the girl?" Harper immediately stopped what he was doing. "What?" He stood up from his mat on the floor. "The girl in the picture" "Were you in my room?" there was anger in his voice. "Yes but I want to know who's the girl?" "Why are you jealous?" He said picking up a large steel box and taking it to a table behind Rommie. "No," Harper placed the box on the table and turned back toward her leaning on the table. "Who do you think it is?" he muttered. "I don't know that after all is why I asked you." He shook his head. "Her name was Kara," he sighed. "She was my love another mudfoot. We were friends then lovers but I guess she's dead the last I heard she was on" He paused for a while. "Oh never mind it doesn't matter."

************************************************************************

*Harper walked into a busy bar. It was his usually routine after work since his parents died. Go to work, come to the bar, drink a lot, go home, wake up with a pain in the ass hangover, and repeat. It was always the same. He sat at the bar and ordered a drink. As he waited he watched everyone else have fun. "Pity," he muttered. He received his drink without care and heard a faint scream in the air. Questioning himself whether to go or not he got up and followed the scream. It was coming from the back in a hallway.

The hall was darkened and the dark red carpet and walls didn't help either. As he got closer he recognized one of the faces. Kara, the same girl he met on the raid two days ago. There was another with her a man around Harper's age held her against the wall trying to kiss her. The girl screamed as she kicked him in his groin. He fell back a little but shook it off. Kara tried to get away but the guy grabbed her and pushed her against the wall. "Hey!" Harper yelled before the guy could hit her. "That is no way to treat a lady." "Yeah and what are you going to do about it. "This," Harper quickly grabbed his gun and shot the guy in the leg. The guy fell to the floor in pain. "Come on," Harper reached out his hand and grabbed her pulling her with him outside of the bar.

"Do you always go looking for trouble?" He said as they reached an alley. It was dark out and it had been raining for a while. "No it kinda seems to find me," Kara shot back. "Who was he?" "I dunno some drunk guy maybe," She shrugged. Harper noticed the paleness in her face. "You okay?" "Yeah," She looked up at him and threw her arms around his neck. "Thanks"* "Harper? Ha- "

************************************************************************

Harper broke away from his daydream. "Harper?" he looked back to a concerned Rommie. "Yeah" "I thought I lost you," Harper just smiled. "No you'll never lose me," he muttered sadly as a tear rolled down his cheek.
