Chapter Twenty

The Enterprise drifted slowly out of the nebula towing the Washington with a tractor beam. Captain Sisko had given a full run down of what repairs the Washington needed doing and he said that the repairs would be able to be completed back at Deep Space Nine. Picard had left the orbit of the planet as soon as the information transfer had been completed, and they were all heading back for Deep Space Nine.
As they left the nebula the USS Cumberland was coming into view. "It's a little late." Riker had said but Picard gave them a run down on what had happened and they decided to investigate the composition of the nebula anyway.
The bodies of the two shuttle pilots had been returned to the Washington and preparations were being made for their funerals.

Counsellor Troi was sitting in her office going over some files when someone buzzed her door chime. "Come in," she said and the doors opened to reveal Dr. Crusher. "What can I do for you, Bev?" Troi asked her, smiling.
"I need to talk to you about Jack." She said. What more needed to be said? It was obvious that she had a great deal that she needed to talk about, Troi could sense that and so she cancelled all of her appointments for the afternoon so they could discuss anything that Beverly needed to talk about.
Troi had seen things that Beverly had not revealed to anyone, and now that she knew that someone else knew, Beverly found that she could talk about Jack far more easily. And so she opened up the memories that had lain buried for so long and talked at length to Troi.

A/N: That's it folks... the end of the second Star Trek story I wrote many moons ago. I really hope you liked this one. I have one story which is a Voyager/TNG crossover... it is fairly long but not complete, however, I still remember where I was going with it so I may go back and finish it. Look out for it though as I may upload what I have. It'll likely be found in the Star Trek: Voyager section.

Thank you for all of your reviews so far. I look forward to hearing more. I haven't read the two Star Trek stories I've just uploaded for many years now so they could likely do with a lot of tweaking and a beta reader too. I may get round to it but I write Harry Potter fan fics now so my spare time is devoted to that when inspiration strikes.

I didn't expect a response for my Star Trek stories but decided to post anyway, and I am glad I did. Thank you for taking the time to read my works.

Peace and long life, live long and prosper.
