Chapter 4

When Lwaxana sees only Picard 'welcoming' her onto his ship she asks where Riker and Deanna are. Picard says that Riker is on the bridge but Deanna is not on the ship. Picard asks Lwaxana to come to his ready room to discuss the whereabouts of her daughter. When Lwaxana hears where Deanna is, she decides to rescue her herself. Before Picard can do anything about it she has left his ready room and into the turbo lift for the shuttle bay.

Meanwhile on his runabout, Wesley was wondering what was going on, but then a runabout appeared coming out of the Enterprise. Wesley hails the runabout after dragging Deanna onto the Bridge. They are both horrified to see Lwaxana's face coming onto the screen. Wesley hastily cuts communication and blow up Lwaxana's ship.

(Deanna) "Why did you do that to my mother?"

(Wesley) "Do what?"

(Deanna) "KILL HER!"

(Wesley) "I didn't kill her. Just her ship."

(Deanna) "How?"

(Wesley) "Go down to the transporter room. NOW!"

When Picard heard the news, that Lwaxana's runabout is destroyed and Lwaxana is presumed dead, he moved to find Wesley's runabout. But as soon as they moved, Wesley fires another shocker at the Enterprise which disables their impulse engines and transporters. Picard only starts to worry when Data tells the newest message from Wesley: 'Only one of my shockers can repair your systems!' And with that message, Wesley hails them.

(Picard, trying to hide his panic) "What do you want for Deanna and Lwaxana?

(Wesley) "I want 2 people for only Deanna.

Picard sighs before answering.

(Picard) "Who?

(Wesley) "You and Riker."

(Picard) "Why?"

(Wesley) "Ask the questions later. Will you do the deal or shouldn't I have saved Lwaxana? Should I have killed Deanna when I had the chance?"

Picard looks horrified.

(Wesley) "That's what I thought. Since your transporters are down I will have to do the transporting. Please tell Riker that I will transport him and you in 5 minutes."

The line was cut and Wesley went to tell Deanna and Lwaxana what was happening.

5 minutes later, Wesley transports Deanna to a transporter room, then Riker and Picard from the bridge. As soon as Wesley sees Picard and Riker, he says,

(Wesley) "If you don't give me your comm. badges and weapons, I will be forced to press this button which will destroy the Enterprise, and we wouldn't want that would we?"

Reluctantly Riker and Picard give Wesley their phasers and comm. badges, but Wesley still isn't satisfied. He picks up one of the phasers and points it at Lwaxana.

(Wesley) "All of the weapons."

Picard sighs then, with a brief look at Riker, pulls out 2 knives. Wesley was right to be suspicious because between them they also had 4 phasers, 6 knives and a stick. Wesley, now with a phaser on each of them, locks Picard in a cell with Lwaxana and Riker in a separate cell far away from them. Wesley then sends a message to Data telling him to stay on guard and that full power would come back on line in a few minutes. With 2 shockers from Wesley's runabout, the Enterprise was back on line and ready to go but it go anywhere.

(Deanna) "Data, why aren't you going after the 3 of them? You have full power which means you could transport them away then destroy the weapon and the runabout."

But Data didn't respond but waited for instructions from Wesley.

Wesley, however, was giving a lecture to Riker on caring. He had not forgotten what Deanna had said about Riker not caring for him so this was his way of revenge. When he had finished he went over to the cell where Lwaxana and Picard were. Picard looks frightened and was wiling Wesley to let him out of the cell which held this woman. But Lwaxana was different; she had become interested in Picard and smiled at Wesley as he walked past. Picard tried to plea but he was cut short by a kiss. Wesley just walked on past and sent a message to Data to tell his mother that Picard's birthday was coming up. Data sent a message back from Beverly asking why she needed to know because Picard was there with him. Beverly's reply was that Wesley was making him ready for the surprise party that she was going to get ready for him. Beverly agreed and asked when she would see him again but he didn't reply and she went to organise the party. He went back to the cells. First he went to Picard and Lwaxana's.

(Wesley) "You will soon be out of here."

Picard's face turned to one of glee.

(Wesley) "But not for a long time. Me and Lwaxana will enjoy your company for a couple of days yet so don't get too excited. If you're lucky, Lwaxana might come back with you."

It was Lwaxana's turn for a look of glee. Laughing at Picard's horrified look he went down the corridor turned a corner, down another corridor and finally found Riker sitting looking at a picture. Wesley opened the force field and snatched the picture from him. Riker stood up to take it back but hit the force field which Wesley had quickly put back into place. He looked at the picture and recognised who it was at once. Deanna. He snorted and tore the picture up and dropped it on the floor. Riker looked horrified but couldn't reach the pieces. He just sat down trying to hold back his tears.

(Wesley) "Wimp. I will create a Starfleet officer to be proud of out of you, wimp. But until then I will have to endure you wimpy feeble presence. And you will enjoy my presence."

And with that he left the wimp for the bridge.

sproxy23: Well how evil can you get? Very is the answer. Well that the end but look out for the next if I ever get the muse. R and R.

ghostymangarocker: Why are you so evil to your characters?

sproxy23: I dunno, maybe it's your influence.

ghostymangarocker: (looks daggers at sproxy23) I'm very hurt – the only character I'm evil to is Kai from Beyblade so there! (storms off in a huff)
