"What do you mean by 'Who's next'?" Ro asked standing up with Alison. Alison had finally stopped crying enough to stand. She was still holding on to Ro for support, but Ro didn't care.
"What I mean Ro is whose memory or other persons memory will I show next." Alex said walking around them in a circle. Wes followed him with his hand on his phaser. Alex noticed, "You wouldn't try to shoot me now would you Wes?" Wes put his hand down and proceeded to follow him.
"I'll go." Ro stated stepping towards him, "Since I can't seem to remember you on my own, I might as well see it from my memory."
"Perfect. "Alex said then snapped his fingers.
~~~~~ 'What is taking them so long? It shouldn't take this long to break into a holodeck.' Dr. Crusher thought as she paced her room. She couldn't sleep so she go up and cleaned. When she finished cleaning she sent a communiqué to Geordi to see if they have gotten any farther with getting into the holodeck. He said they haven't made any progress, but they are trying every way.
"Picard to Crusher."
"Crusher here. What's wrong captain?"
"I would like to see you in my ready room. Geordi and Data have found something, but it could be risky." He said quickly.
"Be right there. Crusher out." She was already down the corridor when they stopped the link. 'I wonder what they mean by it could be risky. I'll do whatever to get them out and safe.' She hustled to the ready room. When she arrived Deanna, Will, Worf, Geordi, and Data had all taken their seats and were ready at any time. When she sat down Geordi stood up ready to start.
"We have discovered that the thing has cut off the computer on that floor, but not on others. Also they have not tried their communicators. If we could tell on off them to fake stun themselves then the thing would have to have a doctor come in to revive them. Then when we enter and say we don't have the proper tools. We need to take them to sickbay. We take them there and say they are dead. It leaves, they wake up and problem solved." "What if we can't get through to them?" Beverly asked nervously. "I just want other options on the table."
"She's right. What if we can't get through then what?" Deanna agreed looking at Data and Geordi who sat down.
"We could ask him to open the doors, but put up a force field. Data could absorb the force field and we could enter." Geordi said giving a look to Data that said 'I'm sorry.'
"Lets try that first. It is less risky and that would give them a motivation to 'kill' themselves." Riker said looking around for agreement.
"I believe Commander Riker is correct. It is the perfect reason for them to do that and then we would know if they are ok." Data said nodding to Riker and looking at Picard.
"That is out plan then?" Everyone nodded, "Then what are we doing still sitting here? Let's go." They left and Picard pulled Dr. Crusher aside. "Beverly, you know we are trying everything we can to get Wes, Ro, and Alison out of there right?"
"Yes. I just wish this never happened. All three of them has had such are hard past that this could bring back bad memories. That is really Deanna's department isn't it." She blushed.
"Yes, you are right, but you are a mother and that gives you better mood reading abilities than anyone could ever have." They hugged and made their way to the turbo lift. A few minutes later they were outside holodeck B. Riker banged on the door.
"This is commander Riker. We demand to see the person responsible for this." As he finished the sphere came out and circled them.
"Back again. Well, what do you want?" Alex asked curiously. Deanna felt curiosity, anger, and anxiousness.
"We want to see if out crew members are okay. You can open the door and put up a force field we can see them and they can see us, but we can't touch each other." Geordi said stepping forward with courage.
"Fine. It can stay that way as long as you don't try to pull anything. Computer: Open doors to holodeck B and put a force field there instead." The doors opened and a force field as put up. Ro, Wes, and Alison ran up to it and waved.
"Mom, we're okay. Get us out of here." Wes said trough the field. Ro and Alison were looking around for Data and Worf, but couldn't find them. They didn't mention it because they knew they had a plan.
"Ali, have you been crying?" Deanna asked stepping forward for a closer look. Alison nodded and then turned away. Wes went over to her and held her.
"I'll explain. Alex," noticing the look on their face she pointed to the sphere, "went into her memory and dug out the day her parents were murdered and played it in the holodeck. He was the one who killed them. Ali had blocked it out of her mind so that she could get a good job. My memory is next."
"Which memory of yours will he take?" Riker asked. Sensing that this could be tricky.
"The one with him in it. He said that two of us had seen him directly and that the last one never saw him, but has a tie to him in some way or another." Ro said turning to check on Alison. Alison stood up and smiled. She was shaking, but didn't care.
"Alison, are you sure your okay?" Beverly asked stepping over to her. She wanted to give her a great big hug. She couldn't because of the force field.
"I'm fine Dr. Crusher. I'm just in shock from seeing my parents and brother again." She smiled and gave Ro a big hug, "Ro has been like our mother. She tried to protect me and Wes from seeing the memory, but Alex pushed her away."
"Time to start the show." Alex said with excitement in his voice. Ro shrieked, fell to the floor and held her head. A memory appeared on the walls.
"Talk. Where is your leader?" A big burly man said while hitting a grown man across the back, "Speak or your daughter will be next." He pointed to a young Ro chained to the wall. She was closing her eyes and trying to plug her ears.
"Leave my daughter alone. Anyway I told you, I don't know where the governor went. He vanished when you guys showed up." The man looked up at Ro then the man, "Just don't hurt my daughter. You've taken my wife, but you can't have my only child." He got hit again.
Ro screamed "Let my daddy go! What did he do to you?" The big man came over.
"Be careful. I'm above hitting children, but friend isn't. So shut up." He slapped her. She started to cry. Her dad looked up and he got hit two more times then stopped moving for good.
"Daddy! Daddy, wake up! I need you daddy!" Ro yelled at her father. He didn't move. The guard checked for a pulse. Unchained him and through him out the window. At that moment six people in Starfleet uniforms barged in and freed Ro, but the man had fled.
The memory ended and Ro was sitting on the floor crying with Wes and Alison hugging her tight. They got up and went over to Alex.
"You were the man that killed my father. Got to..." Ro yelled when Alex interrupted her.
"Tut, tut. You should know better Ro. I hit you once and I can hit you again, so don't tempt me." He smiled and went outside in his human form. "Wasn't that fun. To bad you missed the first one. I can show it again if you'd like." Everyone shook his or her head in a no. "Fine. Your lose. Anyway, it wasn't that interesting. Now for Wes's memory or should I say Jack's." At this Wes and Beverly stepped towards him.
"What do mean by that? Don't go into my father's memories. That's personal." Wes said through the force field. He was trying not to get angry. Ro and Alison came up and they each grabbed a shoulder, thinking that he would try to go through the force field.
"Now, don't get testy Wes. Your father would have been ashamed. Now you don't want that now do you?" He stepped back into the holodeck and went over to Wes and ruffled his hair. Wes tried to lash out, but Ro and Alison had him in a tight grip. Beverly came as close to the force field as possible to hear better.
"How do you have my husband's memories?" She asked trying not to show her annoyance. 'If you did anything to my husband's memories, I will kill him.' She thought still waiting for an answer.
"Nothing, but I did have to make copies so that when I saw little Wesley again I could show him his father's death. I thought you would be dead." He said pointing to Beverly, Ro, and Alison, "But you, Ro, and little Ali are too smart and strong for that. It took me a long time to find you then extract the memories." He smirked and went over to Ali and grabbed her chin and held her face up, "You haven't changed a bit. You do know I wasn't going to kill you. Just your parents and brother, but he was to smart. You could've been my wife."
"I would have killed myself first you pig, and my name is Alison." She hit his hand away and he hit her hard across the face. Alison reached for her knives, but Ro and Wes stopped her.
"You have such a temper. I don't remember this anger from you when you were little. Then again, that was then and this is now. Where is your brother now anyway?" He moved Wes and Ro. They got face to face.
"He got 13 years for murder. He gets out in 2 months." She spit in his face and he hit her again. She came back up and started towards him when Ro came up and hugged her. "Not now." She said into her ear.
"I've hit you twice. I can stun you if I need." He walked away. He saw Alison fingering her knives, "If you even think about throwing a knife at me I will kill Wesley or Ro." At that Alison dropped her knives and kicked them to him, "You're such a doll. Thank you. I will keep them as a gift to me." Alison turned around and shot him a nasty look.
"Those were my father's. I want them back when the ordeal is done. My brother was suppose to learn how to throw knives, but he is in jail so I learned." She turned away and went over to the corner. 'I just want the knives back. They're the only thing I have left of my parents.'
"What do you want? You don't want to kill us. You would've done that a long time ago." Wesley said walking up to Alex. They stood face to face before anyone spoke.
"I want to see you suffer just like I have. Because of you three I am wanted on 3 planets. All three for murder." He turned and walked away. Ro and Alison got up and walked over to Wes.
"You didn't kill me. No one saw you kill my dad." Wes said following him. 'Why does he want to kill me?'
"I don't remember you that well. I was only 3. Anyway Andy was in the way." Alison added following Wes. Ro started after.
"I was seven. I blocked it from my memory so that I could never relive that day ever again." Ro commented. She was curious to his plot now. They all were. Riker, Troi, Dr. Crusher and Geordi were listening and wondering what he was going to do. Beverly started pacing when Alex broke the silence again.
"Let's start the show. Computer: Play memory 13 from my personal files. This should be fun." He leaned against the wall and crossed his arms over his chest. It started.
"Hey Stephanie, these reading look funny. Would you come here and check me." Jack yelled over his shoulder. A young lady with red hair came up and kneeled down next to him. She scanned it then they compared notes.
"I got the same thing, Let's take a sample back up so that Geordi can scan it. To bad Worf couldn't come down. Picard wanted him to get better acquainted with the weapon system." She got up and looked around. "So how's Beverly and Wesley?"
"Beverley is wonderful. Although she didn't want me come on this mission. Wes is as cute as ever. He is starting 3rd grade and really excited." Jack got up and also looked around when something caught his eye. "What was that?"
"What was what?" Stephanie asked looking in the same direction. She didn't see anything.
"I'll be right back. Curiosity kills the cat you know."
"Cats have nine lives." Stephanie added as he ran off. At that moment a figure came out of the trees holding a gun. Jack reached for his faser , but another one came from another direction and shot him. "Jack!" Stephanie yelled while running over. "Commander Stephens to Enterprise. Beam aboard two. One injured. Engage."
The memory ended. Wesley had walked forward as if he was hoping to touch his dad one more time. He stopped and turned around, "You killed my dad. Why? Why him? You didn't have a reason or are were you just born to murder." Alison tried to cut him off, but he stopped her, "No. I want to know why you killed our parents. Do you have something against each family or did you do it for money?"
"The answer to all three is the same. Money." He backed up as Ro, Wes, and Alison came towards him with irritated looks on their faces. He couldn't escape, but he had Alison's knives. "You hurt me and you will be trapped in here 'till you die."
At that moment Data and Worf came from around the corner and Data stuck his hand into the wall panel. The force field flickered and left. Alison, Ro, and Wes all made a dash for it. They got out and were safe. Alex came towards them when Data put the field back up. He also prevented him from going through walls and made the computer unable to hear his voice.
"What's going to happen to him?" Alison asked going up to the force field. She got up to it looked Alex in the eyes and then gasped and grabbed her stomach. Ro and Wesley did the same thing. As they looked down, Alison's knifes appeared where the wound was. The medical team stopped the bleeding and took them to sickbay. Alex started to laugh when Dr. Crusher turned around.
"You will pay for what you did." She turned and left. Geordi, Data, Riker, and Troi were left to look over Alex 'till Picard came back from sickbay with a report on the ensigns.
