Don't Speak
By Kiddo
Information about the Author: SeaQuest, Lucas Wolenczak. Doesn't belong to me. I'm not making any money with this story; it's only for entertainment.
This story is the translation to my German story "Don't Speak".
The song "Don't Speak" is written by No Doubt. "To Say Goodbye" is by Xavier Naidoo; the original song is in German and is called "Abschied Nehmen". I tried my best to translate it into English.
MC Clendon, Dunfield and Newman are an invention of me. This story belongs to first season, but Captain Stark never tried to destroy the SeaQuest. Nathan Bridger has been the Captain of the SeaQuest for nine months. I changed Lucas Wolenczak and his family a lot. At one point of the story, I will describe two murders. If you don't like this, please don't read my story.
A spezial thanks goes to my Beta KatKnits00.
Feedback is always welcome.

You and me
We used to be together Every day together always
I really feel I'm losing my best friend I can't believe This could be the end
It looks as though you're letting go And if it's real Well I don't want to know
Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me 'cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need your reasons Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
Our memories They can be inviting But some are altogether Mighty frightening
As we die, both you and I With my head in my hands I sit and cry
Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me 'cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need you're reasons Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
It's all ending I gotta stop pretending who we are You and Me I can see us dying.are we?
Don't speak I know just what you're saying So please stop explaining Don't tell me 'cause it hurts Don't speak I know what you're thinking I don't need you're reasons Don't tell me 'cause it hurts
"Captain Bridger, I have an incoming call from Admiral Noyce. He wants to speak to you in the Ward Room, alone."
"Thank you Mister O'Neill. Commander Ford, you have the Bridge."
"Aye Sir."
Nathan Bridger left the Bridge and went to the Ward Room. At the Ward Room he sat in a chair.
"Hello Bill, what can I do for you?"
"You will get a new crewmember in two days."
Bridger smiled. " You wanted to speak to me alone to tell me I'm getting a new crewmember? Bill, please, this isn't necessary, it would have been allright if you had send this information to Commander Ford."
Bill Noyce shook his head. "Nathan, this boy isn't an ordinary new crew member."
Bridger raised his eyebrow. "Boy? What do you mean when you say boy?"
The Admiral looked everywhere but at Bridger. " He's 14 years old."
The captain of the submarine jumped out of the chair. "14? Bill, who do you think you are? You can't let a child on a submarine."
Bill Noyce looked at Nathan. " Nathan, he's a genius. He has allready finished Stanford."
Bridger sat down in the chair again. " Okay Bill, but I still don't think the SeaQuest is the right place for a teenager. Even if the boy is a genius."
"Nathan, the boy is developping a new program being able to translate dolphin language. The SeaQuest would be perfect for his work, just think of Darwin."
"This is incredible. Does it work?"
"I don't know. He hasn't yet tried it."
The Captain nodded his head. "What about his parents, do they really want their 14 years old son to be on a UEO submarine?"
Admiral Noyce was silent for a moment. Then he answered with a hoarse voice. "His parents are dead. They were murdered half a year ago. The UEO has the custody of him shortly since he was released from the hospital."
Captain Bridger looked at the Admiral. "Hospital?"
"Yes, he was there a long time. The bullet only missed his heart by 3 millimetres. Otherwise he would be dead now."
Nathan looked confused. "Bill, please start the story at the beginning. I don't understand a thing you are saying."
"Sorry Nathan. You read the newspapers and watched TV half a year ago?" Captain Bridger nodded his head. "Good, then I'm sure you know about it."
"Know about what?"
"Half a year ago the Wolenczaks were attacked at their home. It was awful. The scene of the crime was terrible. Both parents died instantly when they were shot. But the boy lay in his own blood for two hours, until one of the staff members arrived at the house to begin work. She found him and called 911. The boy saw his beloved parents murdered and nearly lost his life. I can't imagine how terrible this has to be."
Captain Bridger swallowed hard. "I heard it in the news. But I hadn't thought of the boy. His name is Lucas, right?"
Admiral Noyce was confused. "You know Lucas?"
Nathan Bridger nodded his head. "Not really, a few years ago I was at a party given by his parents at that time the SeaQuest was under just being constructed. I think the boy has been about 8 years old."
"What was your impression of Lucas?"
The Captain thought for a moment, then he answered. "He was friendly, well- mannered and very intelligent. I told him about the SeaQuest and that we would be able to have a dolphin on board. He was enthusiastic and fascinated about this."
Bill Noyce smiled. "Yes this sounds like Lucas." Suddenly the expression of his face changed. "No, that's not right anymore, that sounded like Lucas. He has changed a lot. It's like you can't reach him anymore. But the worst thing is, he stopped talking! He hasn't said a word since his parents died. We've tried everything thinkeable. The psychologist thinks a new surrounding would be good for him. He would be able to make a new beginning. And so we came up with the SeaQuest. Working with Darwin would be good for him. You know, there are a lot of Dolphins who have helped people. We all hope that Darwin can help Lucas. He doesn't show any emotions at all, if Darwin could only change this. It would be a sign of progress. And maybe the program to translate the Dolphin language will work one day."
Nathan Bridger nodded his head. "Okay I got it, but there is one thing I want to know. Why does the UEO have the custody?"
"We were only able to find one relative, an aunt. Lawrence Wolenczak's sister, but she can't handle the boy. Therefore the UEO decided to take custody of him. Dr. Wolenczak was one of our most brilliant scientists. We do owe him this. I've got a favour to ask you."
"What do you need?"
"Would you and Dr. Westphalen welcome him? He will work with her a lot and it's good if he gets to know her as early as possible. And he already knows you a little. I really hope he likes the SeaQuest and he starts talking again. We don't know all the details about what happened when his parents were murdered. Lucas is the only one who knows, except of the people who did it. If Lucas decides to talk never again , we'll never know."
"Of course Dr Westphalen and I will welcome him. But what does Lucas say about it? I mean what was his reaction?"
Admiral Noyce shrugs his shoulders. "When I told him he just nodded his head to make clear he understands me. When I asked him if he wanted to go to the SeaQuest he just shrugged his shoulders. A year ago his reaction would have been totally different. He either would have screamed of joy or he would have refused the whole idea of leaving his parents. But now he doesn't bother at all. It looks like it means nothing to him." Noyce looks at his watch. "Sorry Nathan, I have a important meeting in a few minutes. You will call me when there are any changes with the boy?"
The Captain nodded his head. "Yes, it goes without saying. Don't worry about him, I'll do my best to make sure he likes it here!" "Don't worry? You'll see it, in one week you'll feel so close to him, that you'll always worry about him. He has this effect on so many people. I know you Nathan and you will have to deal with the concequences. I will remind you of your words. Goodbye and thank you."
"Bye." Captain Bridger thought about everything Noyce had told him. In reality he wasn't so sure about the whole thing He hoped all would work out fine. To have a teenager on board was going to be difficult, but to have a teenager on board having gone through such a nightmare and wouldn't want talking was going to be a lot more difficult.
He had to notify his crew. And there was the problem of a cabin for the boy. He thought a moment and then the perfect cabin came to his mind, a cabin which was near his own and had a nice window to the Aqua Tube.
