A special "Thank You" goes to my wonderful beta-reader Jackie and KatKnits00 and Lynnp for their Reviews.
A few hours later, the teenager arrived back at the suite that the seaQuest team was staying in. In the living room were Ortiz, Krieg, Ford, and Hitchcock. To Lucas's surprise, they were sitting peacefully around the table, playing cards. Hmmm... maybe this continuing education was really working...
Ford looked as casually as he could at their youngest crew member. The teen looked a lot calmer than before. "You've been away for quite some time."
Lucas nodded. "One of the computers had a virus, and it took me some time to delete it. After that, Grey showed me his private computer; he needed some help installing a few programs. Then I went to the beach."
The commander laid one of his cards on the table. "I see."
The teen looked around the room. "Where's everybody else?"
Miguel smiled. "In bed."
"Already?"
Now it was Katie's turn to lay a card down. "Already is good. Have you looked at your watch?"
Lucas shook his head. "No," he replied as he checked the time. "Damn! I guess that took longer than I thought."
The teenager disappeared in one of the bathrooms for a few minutes. When he came out, he headed towards his and Bridger's bedroom.
Before he reached it, Ben voiced the question that had been gnawing at him. "Did you do something to the Christmas CD?"
Without answering the question, the teen opened the door.
