"I Think I'll Keep You"
Licky:
A light: it was the shining door to a new place that lit the dark path. Beverly walked the long pathway. She felt the cold sand beneath her feet, molding to her bare toes. Her clothes hung off her, soaking wet. Water dribbled down her back from her hair messily scattered on her rear. She continued to walk towards the light, only metres away now. She had a purpose. Beverly did not know why but something was drawing her to that light. She now felt a direction. She smiled at the light. It was an escape.
"Is this the end?"
Beverly stepped into the passageway, knowing no other place to go.
"I guess it is." and she was gone.
I'm half naked, and I have two of the most indifferent people on this ship debriefing me. What are the chances.
Jean-Luc Picard sat on a biobed wearing only a medical gown and a blanket, looking very uncomfortable. Facing him stood Commanders Tuvok and Worf, both looking quite awkward. Tuvok held a PADD in front of him and fiddled with it nervously. He contained the emotion, and finally demolished it.
"Captain," he started, "could you describe what happened when you were on the shuttlecraft." It was a statement, not a question.
Picard closed his eyes, not truly wanting to relive the moments.
"I don't remember much," said the Captain, "I was only awake for 10 minutes or so. But.it was dark. I could hardly see Beverly. I noticed that her clothes were ripped to shreds, and like myself, her pip's were missing."
"Did you see your captor?" Worf asked, after a glace at his PADD.
"No, I was not conscious for most of the time." He avoided her reaction to him. It was the last he had seen of her: screaming Data's name in fear and angst.
God, I hate that man. He will pay.
"Is there anything else?" Tuvok asked, again looking awkward.
"No." Picard shifted his weight on the bed. Tuvok and Worf exchanged a look that said all that need be said. Jean-Luc Picard was afraid of something that had happened on that ship.
"Thank you Captain. That will be all for now."
They left Picard on his bed, alone.
