T'Pol woke up from dreaming. She placed her left hand over her mouth and yawned. She sat up on her arm and glance at her child. "Sweetheart I must have fall..." She saw T'Lin wasn't in her seat and sat up. She stood up and looked toward the front near their seats. Turning she looked at the seat she was suppose to be and lifted her blanket just to be sure. 'Odd where is she.' She turned and walked toward their original seats to see if she was there. She wasn't there either.

"Hey are you watching this movie?"

T'Pol turned toward the voice. It was the gentleman who she talked brief with earlier. "Um...no."

He shook his head "Not that funny... course going at warp 4 you can't just up and walk out of the theater."

Her eyebrow went up. "Did you see a little girl go by here?"

He shook his head negative "No, sure didn't."

"My...daughter." she raised her hand and rubbed the bridge of her nose. She looked up. "How long have we been at this speed."

He looked at the time on the screen "Three hours..maybe more."

A little frustrated she scampered off to the front of the shuttle in search of her daughter. As she walk off the he glared at her until she was out of view.

T'Pol was toward the main galley of the shuttle. She made her way through the steward area.

A young one looked up from what she was doing. "Can I help you?"

T'Pol looked to her "I'm looking for my daughter." She crinkled her eyebrows.

"There's a girl in the lounge." she nodded with her head toward next area.

She bowed her head and both eyebrows up. "Thank you." She headed toward the lounge. At the entranceway a human girl around the age of 12 passed her on her way out. T'Pol turned and walked back to the stewardess. "No, she is four, my daughter." She looked to the side then back at the stewardess. "You may have seen her... she has pointed ears."

She nodded and smiled. "Of course. Yes uh..." She thought for a second. "She hasn't been up here. Sorry."

The stewardess followed her into the lounge. T'Pol turned around. "She has light brown hair in a ponytail... at first glance she looks to be a human child... possibly carrying a bear with similar ears." She crossed her arms. An eyebrow went up. "Perhaps she found a few kids to play with...excuse me." she nodded her head and descended down the stairs to the lower level. When she reached the bottom she turn right then took another right toward the back of the plane. She bumped into someone. "Excuse me." and proceeded to her destination. She checked all the lavatories With no sign of her daughter she continued to the nearest stairs that would lead her to where T'Lin went missing. She reached the top of the stairs to their seats. She turned toward the seat where her little girl was and checked under the blanket again. All she found was the bear. An eyebrow went up. 'Odd' She held it and glared at it for a moment. 'Maybe she's back in her seat' She quickly rushed to it. 'Not here' "Ca-ca" She threw the bear down on the seat.

The lady in the next seat got worried. She took off her earphones. "Is something wrong?"

T'Pol quickly looked at her "I'm... looking for my...daughter."

She reclined her head. "Oh..."

"Have you seen her walking by or..."

She shook her head no. "I don't think so. How old is she?"

T'Pol's eyes when to the side then straight at her. "She's four."

"No I never saw her." playing with her fingers.

T'Pol turned around and walk toward the front again. When she turned around she almost bumped into a stewardess. "Can I help you, ma'am?"

The intercom beeped. "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to interrupt. It seems our shuttle craft is big enough to lose a shuttle in. Her name is T'Lin Archer. She's four years old with pointed ears.

Wearing a navy blue jumper. If she's near you or playing with one of your kids, please press the call button. We've go a anxious mom up here. Thank you." then she announced it in another language.

Cockpit:

The pilots listened to the announcement. The co-pilot turned to the captain. "All children should have to where a tracking device." The captain turned from the screen to him. He snickered and turned back to his work.

Meanwhile...

T'Pol paced back and forth. "We have to search the plane."

"Ms. T'Pol, I'm sure she's perfectly ok." the head attendant told her.

T'Pol turns toward her. "No." She turns toward the screen with map of the shuttle. "No she's not." She paused "She's been through a lot. She's...she's not herself right now."

The attendant looked at the other one.

T'Pol turned to them. "Can we get the...seat-belt signs on?"

"We're getting ahead of ourselves."

"There's seven closets on this shuttle" she pointed. "There's three up and four down." pointed elsewhere "And no one has checked them."

"There's galleys, crew quarters...there's the holds." she raised an eyebrow. "A child can find places like that."

The attendant nodded her head "ok..I'm gonna ask you to return to your seat." took a breath "But I tell you what. I will personally go and speak to the captain and see if he can step away from the helm. All right?"

T'Pol nodded "very well" the young stewardess escorted her back to her seat.

T'Pol sat on the arm of her seat.

"Are you in the shuttle business?"

T'Pol looked up. "Excuse me."

"You seem to know about shuttle design."

T'Pol looked at her hands. "Indeed... I'm a chief science officer...a commander in Starfleet."

"Do you serve on any ship?"

"Yes... ten years now on Enterprise... look I know you're just trying to keep me calm."

"But the problem is not that I'm anxious...the problem is my daughter is missing and nobody can tell where she is."

"I'm sorry... my emotions are difficult to control at times." she put her face in her hands.

The andorian kids poked their heads over the seat. T'Pol looked up and saw them. "Did you two see my little girl?"

They shook their heads no. The father looked back in his seat toward T'Pol. "You the one they made the announcement about?"

"Yea."

"I didn't know you had a kid with you." he turned to his wife. "Did you?"

She turned in her seat toward T'Pol "Sorry, I didn't."

"How lost can she be were in a tube." he turned to his kids "turn around." They did what he said.
