a/n: I changed her boyfriend's name on purpose to keep him from getting confused with another of my oc's, so his name is now Evan


(POV: Sky)

When Kathleen told me that movie would give her nightmares I wanted to kill Alex and Syd for placing her there.

I walked into the rec. room to see Syd and Alex waiting there.

"How was the movie?" Syd asked innocently

"I can't believe you have the nerve to even ask me that, I didn't watch it because I care enough about Kathleen to leave with her when she told me that damn move would give her nightmares!" I was livid and didn't mind laying into Syd and Alex over Kathleen. "And I thought you two cared a lot about us trying to give us a nice date, I guess this can tell me only one thing, I was a damn fool for thinking you guys actually wanted us to be happy"

"I take it by this blow up you like Kathleen" Syd said

"Yes I do, enough to say that she's been my girlfriend since before we ended our undercover mission three months ago."

I left Syd and Alex to ponder how well they didn't know their friends.

I went to Kathleen's room, trying to calm myself as I walked, but I didn't anticipate hearing her crying form within that room.

I entered her room and instantly realized that she was emotionally falling apart at the seams.

"Kathleen" I sighed

"Come on in" she choked

I walked over and hugged her close

"What's wrong?" I asked her, I was very confused by her behavior, and I had no idea what she had found out.

"My ex-boyfriend is being transferred to this base"

My heart stopped, the guy that raped her was being moved to this station! My heart skipped multiple beats before returning to a normal rhythm again, it shouldn't have come as that much of a surprise to me since I was the only one who knew him, Evan, for what he was, a rapist! By watching Kathleen I knew she couldn't speak for herself about this issue, I would have to give her message words and make it general knowledge and maybe put Evan in his proper place in containment, in the process.

I soon felt Kathleen's breathing change to the rhythmic pattern of sleep, and I knew I should leave, but I couldn't make myself put her down in her bed and be heartless enough to walk away form her when she needed me as much as she did.

(Third person)

It was curfew time and Bridge couldn't find Sky. He went ahead and went to bed, but still felt that something strange was going on. If Sky wasn't in bed when the alarm went off Bridge planned to report this to Cruger because he had no idea if something was wrong with Sky or not.

Sky held Kathleen in his arms, lovingly as she slept, he hadn't given Syd and Alex half the cursing that he wanted to, but he knew that Kathleen needed her to be with her. Sky soon fell asleep against the wall at the head of Kathleen's bed unaware of how much trouble that could get him in.

The next Morning Bridge went into the Rec. room to see that Sky was still gone.

"Bridge, do you know where Sky is?" Syd asked

"No, he never came to our room last night" Bridge looked between Z, Syd and Jack genuinely confused by Sky's bizarre behavior.

Sky walks in a few moments later, oblivious to their confusion. Jack pulls him aside.

"Where were you last night?" Jack asked, "You know I have to tell the commander that you weren't in your room"

"I know, I was with Kathleen, she was really upset and I wasn't going to leave her alone" Sky replied

"So if I asked her, she would tell me the same thing you just did"

"Yes, she would"

"You know you've put me in a bad spot, Sky, I have to tell the commander about this or risk us all three losing our ranks and, either way I go, you and Kathleen are n shaky ground at this point." Jack sighed, "I'm sorry, Sky, I know SPD is your life, but regulations are regulations and they have to be followed by all"

Jack turned on his heel and headed towards the command center as Kathleen walked up to Sky.

"What's wrong?" she asked after noticing his solemn expression.

"We've been caught, Kathleen, and let's face it, Cruger will have our heads over last night" Sky hugged his girlfriend as Bridge came over to them.

"What did you tell Jack?" Sky asked

"I only told him that you never came to bed last night" Bridge replied

Jack walked up a few moments later.

"Commander Cruger wasn't in the command center so I'll keep this to myself for now because I know he'll probably nail the two of you a bit too hard for this"

"Thanks Jack" Sky said

"Don't mention it" Jack smiled

Cruger was in the infirmary checking on Kat, she was breathing with little assistance by this time, and Showing signs of improvement; which was a miracle that gave everyone some hope, but no one expected what would happen next

"Kat, I hope you will wake up soon" Cruger whispered as he held her hand he didn't notice when her head moved slightly as she listened intently to him "we need you… I need you" he hung his head "I love you"

"I… I love you too, Doggie" she replied

Cruger was stunned beyond words as she smiled weakly at him, she was fully aware, but terribly weak.

Felix came in to tell Cruger he needed to leave, but stopped short when he saw Kat was awake.
