Chapter 6
"Try not to talk to anyone else." Akela advised. "It's harder then you think to cloud the minds of these
people."
"I thought that Deanna was leaving t go to some new ship." Shinzon looked confused. He was also quite
happy to have slid right out from under her without her knowing.
"Don't get to attached.Aparrently she's leaving. Didn't you listen?"Akela asked. "Or where you to busy
gawcking at her to hear?"
Shinzon raised an eyebrow at her.
"Excuse me?"
Akela looked at him and then realized what she had said. Why had she said that? It sounded almost like
jealousy.....
She reagined her composure and thought of a lie.
"I am only saying, that you should watch yourself. What happened last time you were around her? You
need to control youself this time."
At this Shinzon nodded and removed the cloak. Akela had gotten him some regular clothes. A black t-
shirt and a pair of blue jeans. She had also gotten him a pair of boots. Almost exactly like the ones she
had for herself. Nothing expinsive. She knew he couldn't wear that uniform forever. She had taken some
more outfits for him along with her own.
The room they were in was a nice size. Big enough for two beds. There was a bathroom and what
seemed to be an office. There was also a small kitchen. Most likely for dine-in nights Akela thought.
"What happens now?" Shinzon asked.
"We wait. Only untill Deanna leaves. Then we start to get close to Picard. And then you kill him."
"By now he's heard about Donatra."
"Most definatly. But he won't figure anything out untill it's to late."
"I have a question for you." Shinzon looked straight at Akela and she returned the stare. "How are you
supposed to....feed...when everyone is in such close quarters?"
Akela smiled.
"I'm not going to feed on you if that's what you're worried about, Shinzon."
"That's not what I'm worried about. If I thought that you would I'd kill you."
Akela's smile still remained on her face and she nodded. He would kill her if he thought something was
going to happen to him. She would do the same. Wouldn't she?
"I don't have to feed everday. I can live for about a week without feeding. I believe that we will be gone by
then."
"And if not?"
"They have an infermary don't they?"
Shinzon looked skeptical but said nothing.
"We should get some sleep anyway. We have a long day tomarrow." Akela said.
Shinzon nodded and walked over to the bed on the far side of the room. He pulled his boots and shirt off.
He then laid down on the bed.
Akela looked at him for a moment. A thought flashed through her mind but she quickly got rid of it.
'No.' She said to herself, 'I did not bring him here for such a thing. He's just someone I need to get a job
done.'
She went to the bathroom and put on a small nightgown. The length of it stopped right above her knees.
She slipped into her own bed and tried to forget about everything. She turned over on her side. Shinzon
was laying on his back with his face upturned to celing. But for a second......Akela chided herself agian.
'Stop it. Damn it. Stop it. NOW!'
She tried to forget the question and turned over agian. But the question returned anyway.
Had Shinzon been staring at her?
