Trip slowly came walking into Captain Logan's office in the mid evening of the day. He carried with him a piece of paper and back board. I don't know why I was the one chosen to do this job?
Logan looked up at Trip who was standing in front of his desk, waiting for him to speak. "Trip, may I help you," he asked kindly looking at the officer alien member.
Trip looked right at his captain nervously, doing his best not to draw too much attention. "Yes, sir I need you to sign the release papers for Dash," said Trip as he placed the paper on the desk.
Captain Logan look down at the paper, reaching his hand to sign it, when. "Didn't I already sign for his release a few days ago?" asked Logan looking back up at Trip.
Trip stunned with the question had to come up with an answer and quick. "Um, those papers some how got misplaced. So the directory sent these over," replied Trip hopping his lie was good enough to get by his Captain.
Captain Logan looked at Trip as if trying to see through him. Trip seemed to be shacking in his boots. "Sir, your meeting with Commander Collins is in fifth teen minutes," said a voice, from Logan's inter-com. Logan looked at Trip once more, and then he pushed a button on the inter-com.
"I'll be there in a few minutes," replied Logan. Trip watched as Captain Logan quickly wrote his signature on the piece of paper. Once he had finished, he held the paper and back board out to Trip to take.
Trip slowly took it back into his possession. "Thank you sir," he said softly. Trip then turned around, feeling home free as he slowly turned the knob on the door, when.
"Trip," said Captain Logan.
Trips heart began racing he slowly turned around, fearing for the worst. "You should go home, as soon as you deliver those papers you don't look well," said Logan.
Trip took a deep breath, "Yes, sir," he replied wanting to keep his answer sort as possible.
Trip walked into a dark room, looking around seeing hold equipment and box's lying all over. "Did it work,"
Trip, yelled soundly as he about jumped a few feet in the air; he turned around seeing Lucas, Katie, Alex and Wes. He took a deep breath, to relax himself. "Yeah, here he signed it," said Trip handing Alex the papers.
Alex took the papers looking over Captain Logan signature, which he had just signed for Jen's release and not Dash's as he had thought. Alex nodded his head, he handed it to Katie. "Alright, Katie put your signature down," said Alex looking at her.
"Shouldn't you sign it, I haven't been a Commander for long," asked Katie wondering why Alex wanted her to sign it.
"No, I'm supposed to be meeting with Captain Logan in a manner of minutes," he eyes them all carefully. "The reason you're signing it is because, you're new to the Commander ordeal. By the time it is found out of Jen's release, it will be considered a documented mistake. That is why you are signing it, you're new at this. They will find no fault in you, you were just doing what you had been told," said Alex.
Katie nodded her head as she signed the paper; she then gave it back to Alex. Alex then turned to Wes.
"Alright, here's the release papers, a prison guard will take them from you when you arrive," he handed Wes the paper. Alex then pulled a key card out of his pocket handing it to Wes. "You'll need this to open the cell door," Wes took the key card from Alex's hands. "Once you have gotten Jen out, you get her and your self out of there. You stay at the spot that we have already been over, where you are to wait for Lucas and Dash to pick you up," said Alex looking very carefully at Wes making sure he understood everything word for word.
Wes took a deep breath, hoping this would work because if it didn't it was all over for them. "Alright, so I guess this it then with me and you at least," said Wes smiling at Alex. He couldn't be more grateful for everything Alex was doing for him
Alex smiled knowing he was doing the right thing. "Yes it is, once Lucas and Dash have you. They'll get you two set up to go," said Alex softly, hoping everything would turn out fine.
Wes knew this was hard for Alex; after all he used to be Jen's boyfriend and ever more. He smiled as he stepped in and gave Alex a hug. "Thanks," said Wes.
Alex patted his arms on Wes's back. "Take care of her," said Alex softly. Wes then back away from Alex, he looked to Trip and Katie knowing this could be the last time he would see them.
"Good luck, Wes," said Trip shacking Wes's hand.
"Thanks, I'm going to need it," said Wes as he brought Trip in for a quick hug. Katie walked over to Wes kissing him on the cheek.
"I hope you two will be happy together," said Katie kindly.
Wes smiled, he wished he could say more but time was running out. Lucas stepped forward. "It's time Wes, once I meet up with Dash will go to the spot and get you two" said Lucas looking at Wes and then to Alex.
"Yes, you got to go now Wes, and good luck," said Alex looking at Wes. Wes smiled lightly, he nodded his head.
"Yeah, thanks guys for everything," said Wes looking at his friends, he took one last look at them before he walked out of the room.
"Do you think we'll be able to pull this off," asked Katie looking at the men around her.
"Let's up so, for Jen sake," said Alex softly.
