Author's Note: This chapter is slightly shorter then the other ones so far but hopefully I'll be able to post again tomorrow. Thanks for reading my story!

Brown ran a hand through his rain slicked hair and watched as Ro picked her way towards him.

"I hope you have a good reason for hauling me up to the roof in the middle of a thunderstorm."

He smiled at her sarcastic tone before his expression turned more serious, "I think I know who's been stealing our supplies."

Ro's annoyed expression disappeared, "Who?"

"Deanic."

Ro paused for a minute, considering the idea that the leader of the cell, and a person she admired, could be a traitor.

"Do you have any proof?" Ro asked softy.

"Only that I was running a deeper inventory and discovered that we have been losing supplies steadily." He handed Ro a pad, covered in a rain protector and watched her face as she read the lengthy list.

"Why haven't we noticed this before?' Ro questioned.

"You see, at first it was non crucial supplies, some food here, and a few hyposrays there, things that are routinely misplaced. But when our thieve started stealing the bigger items, disruptors, med kits, stuff like that he began to attract attention."

Ro turned off the pad and handed it back to him, "All your data adds up, but what makes you say it was Deanic?"

Brown took a deep breath, organizing his memories in a more coherent fashion.

"This afternoon, you were telling me about the med kits being missing and I said I'd tell Deanic about it, remember?"

Ro nodded and he continued, "I went down to his office but before I could go inside I heard him talking to someone. I have no idea who it was but it sounded like a Cardassian."

"A Cardassian?" Horror painted Ro's face as she breathed the hated word.

Brown grimaced, "Of course I have no proof but I wanted to tell you anyways. Two people watching Deanic are better then one."

Ro glanced over her shoulder at the doorway leading back to the house, "We'd better go back before someone misses us. However we should also have a secure comlink between us, just in case we find out anything new."

Brown nodded and a few minutes later, two soaked figures hurried off the roof.
