Chapter 2
The empty corridor seemed to be mocking her, everyone else is working it told her. She knew it wasn't true but that didn't soften the effect it had.
The morning had been her usual shift, but driven with anger, and a need not to think, after the incident with Odo she had returned to Opps to work it out of her system.
Having reached her quarters she walked into the bedroom, quickly undressed and changed into her night wear. What was Sisko on, she thought, talking about packing. She had no intention of going anywhere, not after working for 18 hours, with only 'one short break'.
The Cardassian transporter beam gripped her just as she was drifting off to sleep. Fear engulfed her, and as she looked at the holo of Odo by her bed, she willed him to know.
It was dark, ever so dark, then the lights came on. Black, hateful, Cardassian eyes looked down at her, so unlike the clear blue eyes she had been looking at, what seemed like, but could not be, moments before.
"Ivek." She spat the word out like it was a curse.
"Welcome to the Goroolk, Major."
Back on the station, the head of Secruity was working, then suddenly,
"Nerys," cried out Odo, unable to stop himself. Something was wrong with Nerys. "Computer, location of Major Kira?"
"Major Kira is no longer onboard the station."
"Damn."
Sisko. Sisko, would know what to do.
"Major Kira filled for leave a week back. It started today." Said Sisko after Odo explained to him,
"She never said anything about it. Where was she going?" asked Odo.
"To Earth, I thought it a strange place for her to go, but she said she was going to meet an old friend. She left onboard the Queensferry about an hour ago."
"Would it be possible for me to talk to her, just to make sure she's okay?"
"I think you're over reacting a bit, but," Sisko turned to Dax and asked, "Is the Queensferry still in communications range, Old Man?"
"Just, shall I hail her?" She asked feigning ignorance, she had heard every word.
"Yes. Ask to speak to Kira."
Dax worked at the communications board for a moment, then turned to Sisko, "We have her."
"On screen."
"Kira here, what can I do for you?"
"Odo wanted to make sure you were all right."
"Well, as you can see I'm fine, but, Odo, thanks for your consideration." Odo inclined his head slightly. "Wish you were here we could have had such a good time together. Love you. Kira out."
"Love you," echoed Dax. "Is there something you're not telling us about Odo?"
"Nothing, I have no idea what the Major is talking about." replied a very confused, and embarrassed, Constable Odo.
Odo walked onto the promenade thinking and then he saw Quark and had an idea.
"Quark, I need . . ." But Quark didn't let him finish.
"What now Odo? Cant you see I'm busy? And by the way I've done nothing wrong. So dont try to arrest me."
Quark walked away but Odo followed him and said,
"Quark, I need a ship."
Quark stopped and turned to face the Constable.
"That could take some time, Odo."
"I said, I need a ship,"
"Well in that case, what kind of a ship do you want? I've just come into possession of a very nice cruiser, or a -"
"As long as its space worthy, I don't care what kind of ship it is."
"I think we can find you something, don't you?" grinned Quark.
