~*~Disclaimer=Me no own! (Unfortunately)~*~Ok huge thanks to may reviewers!
I know, my spelling and grammar are terrible! Also if you don't understand
what I've written then chances are it could be a phrase I use normally.
Seeing as I'm British if there's any dodgy spellings for you they're
probably right for me-so basically ask if I do summats dodgy!~*~
'Ice cold water surrounded him. He couldn't breathe, scream or see. He was paralysed with fear. He prayed the hand that was holding him under would release him soon. His lungs felt like they would burst. As things began to get fuzzy around him, he was hauled out the water. He gasped for precious air.
"Reed men have been in the Navy for generations!" his father barked "And you boy are not going to break that! Aquaphobia my arse! It's nothing that can't be beaten out of you!" Malcolm trembled with cold and fear. His father held him over the water again.
"No sir! Please!" Malcolm begged "Not again! Please!" Stuart Reed gave him a cold look and tossed him into the waves.'
Malcolm awoke gasping, his head thumping.
"You're safe Malcolm" said Doctor Phlox soothingly.
"No the water! He's gonna throw me in the water!" Malcolm exclaimed looking around wildly "I'm gonna drown!"
"Mal' it's ok-there's no water here" said Trip gently, grabbing hold of his shoulders. "It was just a nightmare." Malcolm lay back, his eyes wide and frightened.

"Damn human" He cursed unravelling the bandage on his wrist. "Stronger than they look you know."
"I presume you disposed of the witness" said Lonte his face hard and cold. "Or do I need to find a better."
"Lonte!" he cut in "I'm not some wet behind the ears child. It was quick, I was on and off the ship in less than 300 seconds-the humans didn't detect my presence there at all."
"So, tell me what you did" said Lonte his eyes shining "I hope you made it painfull"
"I went into their healers room, held him down, pushed the hypospray into his neck then left." He explained boredly "I was quite surprised really, there were no guards, no force-fields, no nothing. Most disappointing. He'll have been dead in 600 seconds."
He examined his wound carefully.
"You should've killed him outright in the first place" said Lonte
He looked up and glared at Lonte. "There was no time-he made too much noise" he stated "His fighting techniques were most impressive, shame he had to die."
There was a knock on the door. "What is it?!" Lonte bellowed impatiently.
"Excuse me Ambassador, but the humans are demanding to speak with you" a voice squeaked from behind the door.
Lonte waltzed out slamming the door behind him.
"Stupid fool" he hissed staring at the door. He touched his bruised face lightly. "Damn Human."

"Captain Archer! What can I do for you?" Lonte asked politely.
"My security officer has just had an attempt on his life! I want answers!" Archer practically yelled.
"I'm sorry about that Captain but there's nothing we can do about your lax security" said Lonte through gritted teeth.
"Have you made any headway on the late Ambassadors death?" Archer demanded
"If we do you will be the first to know" Lonte lied. He swiftly motioned for the transmission to be cut and stalked out the room.

"You lied!" Lonte hissed. He looked up sharply.
"I did what you asked" he replied evenly
"The human is still alive!" Lonte bellowed "You should've stayed to make sure the job was done!"
"I did what I could in the limited time I had, these humans would've tried to catch me and the evidence would lead back to you." He lied knowing Lonte would believe him. "Damn human, drug can't have been strong enough"
"I want you to go back and do it properly!" Lonte ordered.
"Are you insane?" he demanded "The humans will have erected security around him!"
"Do what you do to get the job done!" Lonte ordered "I want Malcolm Reed dead before he remembers anything!"
He yawned. "I'll see what I can do," He said, his bandaged hand finding the gun on his side table. "Now please leave."
Lonte ran out shaking.
