Chapter Three

Time: Two weeks prior to the Trip/Archer incident. Trip was released because Jon refused to press charges on his friend. The hell with rules and regulations, this was friendship.

Jon raised the spoon to his face; he it had the right amount of cereal, sugar, milk, and of course a hint of cinnamon in his bowl. He raised the spoon to his mouth, "Travis to the Captain," Travis stated with some urgency. Jon shoved the first bite into his mouth, swallowed and then replied, "Yes, Travis?"

"Sir, a Nausicaan ship is coming straight for us." "I'm on my way Travis, have Hoshi alert the bridge crew," Archer said with an authoritative voice.

Bridge

Travis watched as the Captain walked to his chair and took his seat, day by day it became glaringly obvious that two vital members of the crew were missing; Trip and T'Pol. Trip never left engineering, it was his solitude. If he kept working maybe, just maybe he could forget the pain, and concentrate on getting T'Pol back.

"Hoshi, hail them," the captain ordered. "Sir they aren't responding," Hoshi replied. Warnings could be heard furiously from Malcolm's console. Jon turned his head for an explanation. "Sir someone's transporting off the Enterprise onto the Nausicaan ship!" Jon stood and walked over to Malcolm's station. "Who!?"

"Sir, we're being hailed, it's from the commander," Hoshi said. "Open a channel Ensign. Trip what the hell do you think you're doing!?" Archer screamed, he promised himself to be calm and in control but he just couldn't do it. Not when his best friend was concerned.

"Capt'n, I'm sorry but I have to get her back. Don't pursue the Nausicaan ship; I've paid them well to make sure I get to were I need to be." Archer ran his hand through his hair and sighed, he knew exactly were Trip was going.

"Look Trip, we are more then willing to use every resource to get her back here on Enterprise, you don't need to do this," Archer tried to justify.

"Jon look, I've made my mind up," he looked down at his shoes, and looked up into Jon's eyes, telling him he was sorry, not with words but with his crystal clear blue eyes, he shuffled his feet. "Bye Jon."

Archer sighed, but nodded, not because he was giving up on helping Trip find T'Pol but to show Trip he wasn't angry for their fight weeks before. They were best friends and it would take more then Trip hitting him to break their friendship. Trip closed the channel.

Travis spoke up, as the days passed he became more confident in his job, and his actions, "Sir, we can't just leave him like that. We have to do something. We know where he is going…"

"Travis you read my mind! Maximum warp!" "Aye sir."

Nausicaan Ship

The Nausicaan captain stood before Trip towering over him, clearly amused with this entire situation. "Where to human?" "The Vulcans home world as fast as you can." "There will be a short delay human." Trip felt his anger rising, "Fur how long??"

"A day. We must drop cargo off to a planet that is on route to the Vulcan home world. Human what is your business with the Vulcans?" "Someone's took something of mine and I'm getting it back," Trip replied.

"Human, be more specific." Trip rolled his eyes, this had to be the most curious Nausicaan he's ever met, "Long story short, someone's taken my girlfriend, the mother of my child."

"I see, human, I see. Later I shall teach you a fighting technique; I've heard Vulcans have greater strength then humans. You will need this method. If not human we can supply you with a weapon. For a price of course."

Sorry this is so short. I am going to start the next chapter now. It's a filler. More funny's after they get T'Polly back….oh the joys of pregnancy.
