The Hunter, part 27
Rommie sat outside the conference room where the investigation into the 'incident' was being held. She had promised Dylan she wouldn't do anything 'stupid', so he had allowed her to sit a wait while the first hearing went on. Harper sat with her, supposedly to keep her company, but she new that he was really keeping an eye on her for Dylan.
The doors where flung open, and Dylan stormed out and along the corridor. Rommie blinked, then ran after him, closely followed by Harper. They finally caught up with Dylan as he reached the mess hall. Rommie grabbed him by the arm, "What happened?" Dylan clenched his fists, "The defence is claiming that given the fact that you and Dex where on probation and where not meant to make un-authorised slip-jumps, that firing on you was justified." Rommie's eye's went wide, "WHAT!" Dylan shook his head, "And you know what the best part is? They may just get away with it: half of the people on the panel where opposed to your pardons in the first place, and see this as a chance to get even with me."
Rommie sank down into a chair, shocked. Dylan knelt down in front of her and rested a hand on her cheek, "I'm sorry: I didn't realise how bad things must be for you, I didn't realise what people can be like." Rommie smiled, "It's ok Dylan, not everyone can be like you. One of the reasons I love you is that you see me as a person, not just an Android." She leaned forward and kissed him, "I don't care what anyone else thinks: only you." Dylan smiled, "Well I love you."
Harper coughed self-consciously, "Not that I want to interrupt or anything, but we have to get back to the Andromeda: the Than-Thre-Kull and Sabra/Jaguar fleet's are due sometime today, and given are little run-in with the Magog, CINC wants us to high-tale it out of here to go visit our old friend The Spirit of the Abyss." Rommie stood, "Duty calls." Dylan hugged her and held her tight, "When this is all over, I'll deal with our problems once and for all."
