Chapter Five

"Rhade did you hear me?"

Rhade looked at Dylan, "I'm sorry what?"

Dylan looked irritated, "This is the sixth time this morning you tuned me out."

Rhade looked at his consul, "I'm sorry Dylan."

"Tell me what's wrong?"

"It's nothing Dylan." Rhade saw Beka come onto the bridge out of the corner of his eye, his heart began pounding rapidly.

"She won't wait forever Rhade."

Rhade looked at Dylan, "Pardon?"

"I may have been stuck in a black hole for three hundred years but it didn't make me stupid, you like Beka and she likes you."

"Who told you?"

Dylan's blue eyes became annoyed, "Nobody I figured it out on my own, better tell her before somebody else snatches her away."

Rhade put his hand on his hip, "maybe you should do the same thing with Rommie, come on Dylan I'm not blind."

A furtive look came on Dylan's face, "I have to get going."

Rhade soon went over to Beka." Hello Beka."

"Rhade." She tried to sound in control of her voice.

"I was wondering, after our shifts are over would you like…." Just then alarms began going off.

"What's going on?" Dylan's voice rang out.

"The Magog, they're back."

"How many ships?"

"About twenty." Beka replied.

"Take evasive action!"

Rhade hurried to his consul and began firing the missiles. Soon the Magog began to batter them.

"Hull breaches on decks seven, twelve, and thirteen." Andromeda's voice said.

Just then another alarm began to blare, "Intruder alert! Intruder alert!"

"Beka, Rhade, go below and stop them!"

"We're on our way." Beka replied.

Just before Rhade went down his section of the corridor, Beka grabbed his arm, "Be careful."

"I will, after all I am a Neitzchean." Not caring of the consequence he bent down and kissed her hard on the lips. Beka returned it.

Finally he released, "See you later."

"I intend to." Beka watched until he was out of sight and then went of to do battle against the intruders.

They'll pay for ruining my day.

AN: Last chapter was so, so short. Hopefully this was one was better. Please review it keeps my muse going.
