"Chief"
"Chief!"
He looked up and saw Cally looking extreamly worried.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" He asked
"You've tightened that micro-converter way three times too many" she answered "If you had tightened it again, that viper wouldn't have been flyable for weeks" The Chief looked down and saw that she was right. He quickly loosened it and berated himself for not paying attention.
"Thanks" he answered "I guess I was a little distracted." Cally looked worried.
"Think you need a hand?'
"Sure" She sat down next to him.
"So what's wrong?" Cally asked as she carefully tightened the other micro-converter. "You seem to be distracted today, and I've heard that's the third time someone's had to rescue you from a critical mistake."
The Chief hesitated, how much should he say? Would Cally understand about his dreams? He had forgiven her for shooting Sharon, but still. After some deliberation, he decided to lay his cards on the table. He needed to have someone to talk to.
"I've been having dreams, they've been disturbingly clear and I don't know what they mean" he was surprised at how good it felt to say that. "Sharon's been in every one. Sometimes she's telling me that she didn't know something, sometimes she's asking for help. I feel everything I used to feel for her, only when I awake do I remember she's a Cylon. Cally looked surprised, sympathetic, and that she was holding back saying something. "There's a figure emerging from the shadows at the end of each one. I recognize the figure, but I never see her."
"I don't know what to say" Cally said.
"Then don't say anything." He answered. It's good enough that you listened. They went back to work and didn't say for anything for a while
Help me
The Chief looked up, but didn't see anyone. Funny he thought I could have sworn I heard …
Help me Chief, I can't take it.
He looked up again, there was no question, someone was calling for help and it sounded like Sharon, but no one else seemed to have noticed.
"Cally do you hear that?" he asked
"Hear what?" she looked confused
"Someone just called for help"
"I didn't hear anything"
Help me
"There it is again" Why couldn't they all hear the voice. It was weak, but as clear as day. "Racetrack, did you hear anything" The pilot turned around and shook her head.
"Are you ok Chief" Cally asked. She was starting to look very worried now.
Please Help!
The dark figure from his dreams was standing right in front of him.
"Who are you!" he yelled, but at a second look, the figure was gone. Now Cally looked really worried.
"Maybe you should go see Doc Cottle" He wasn't in the mood to fight her on it.
Now this can't be normal he thought nervously. I'm hearing Sharon in my waking moments as well? Maybe going to see Doc Cottle wasn't a bad idea. He'd talk to Helo later too; maybe he would have so insight.
