Both of our attentions turned to the console. Scotty asked, "Captain, how close are you?"

"Really close, Scotty. Now we will be arriving in 10..."

My fingers glided across the screen. I felt my heart quicken as the count down was going into single digits. I finished inputting the code. I piped up, "Captain, the port will open in 3...2...1..."

Scotty and I gripped hard to the console when I pressed the button to open. Immediately the outside started to suck the existing breathing air and us if we weren't tied to the console. After hearing the sudden swoosh of the two people entering the hangar, I reached up to the button to close the port. Scotty's back faced the console. I held onto the hose after being dropped from floating. My chest heaved to take in sweet air. That was an adrenaline rush I did not want. The two men from Enterprise slid across the hangar's floor. I turned my head to see if the men were okay. Jim's blues met mine. The other man who I am sure is Khan spoke, "They'll know we are here. I know the best way to the bridge."

Scotty started to untie himself from the console then started to move the hose to me. I undid the hose dropping it. I mumbled, "After this, I am going to go on vacation."

Khan started to usher the three of us. Jim turned his head towards me, "So..."

I refused to look at him. I piped up to Khan, "There is an arsenal of phasers in the corridor."

Khan turned into a hallway. Scotty looked back at Jim asking, "Where'd you find this guy?"

Jim didn't answer. I narrowed my eyes. That's a first. I moved a loose strand of hair behind my pointed ear. I asked, "What does the admiral want with the Enterprise? I was told to watch for fluctuations during warp."

Jim's lips went into a frown. Khan answered, "He wants me. He's afraid what I can do."

I turned back to Jim, "Last I spoke with you, you were being reassigned. What happened?"

Jim cleared his throat, "Pike's..."

My eyes widened. Khan opened the corridor cabinet pulling out a case. Jim started to give each one of us a phaser. My eyes stared down the sandy haired man. My voice nearly cracked when I started. I cleared my throat, "What happened?"

Jim looked over at Khan before putting his attention back to his phaser. He placed it on stun. I tore my attention from Jim to Khan. He met my eyes, "If I must, I released an arsenal during the meeting between captains and first officers. I was aiming for the admir-."

I moved pulling my fist back towards him. He caught it. It was close to his cheek. My chest was heaving. I gritted out, "You... You killed him. You decided on your own behalf to release bullets on a meeting filled with men and women who had families."

I felt his strength starting to crush my hand. I could feel my fingers start to crack under the pressure. I winced. Scotty noticed and immediately went to my side, "Ay, yer're hurtin' her. Let go!"

He spoke lowly, "If you are done, we need to get to the bridge. And if you must know I also have a family."

He threw my fist towards the ground. Khan left the three of us to get ahead. The two men of the Enterprise looked towards me. I stretched my fingers seeing how injured they are. I bit inside of my cheek from the sharp pain. I pushed between the two men, "I'm okay. We better catch up with him."

Jim tried to catch up with me. I kept the unknown man in my sights. Jim glanced down at my hand. He noticed I was holding my phaser loose with that hand. Jim started, "You need to get Bones looked at that when we get back on the Enterprise."

I gritted out, "I'm fine. It'll heal. Now where did you find this man and why are you with him if he killed Pike?"

Jim answered, "It's a long story."

I stopped grabbing Jim by his shirt. I pushed him towards the wall. I am sure he could see the tears threaten to prick. Scotty looked between the two of us. I kept him pinned against the wall, "Admiral Christopher Pike was a fatherly mentor. I treated him as part of my family when mine was on another planet. And you are working with his... his killer."

Jim turned us around that I was against the wall. His grip was lighter than mine. Jim lowered his voice, "That man was like a father to me. I'd do anything to bring his death justice. Do not think I do not care for that man."

I felt a tear roll down. Scotty was about to pull Jim off of me but he already released me. I inhaled deeply as Jim walked away to catch up with Khan. Scotty asked, "Ya know I'm here for you, right?"

I nodded wiping my my cheeks quickly, "Let's go. The crew is counting on us."

Scotty didn't like how the captain treated me. A secret hired personnel popped out of no where. I watched as Khan started to attack the man. I stepped back with Scotty. Jim started to back away before another guy came out of no where. Scotty called out to me, "Don't fight. Yer hand is hurt."

I watched the duo start to fight a couple men. I looked beyond them seeing Khan disappeared. I frowned. A guy came behind me placing a rope of some sort around my neck. A rough voice growled into my ear, "I never liked you."

I gasped dropping my phaser. I reached up to the rope trying to pry it away from my throat. I could feel my throat constrict. My eyes started to water. I tried to reach behind me to the man's shoulder. I couldn't reach him properly. My mouth opened and closed. No sound came from my throat. I lifted my heeled foot to stomp down hard on the man's foot. I moved my elbow to his stomach and pushed hard against it. He released me. I gasped for air. My hand went to my throat. I could already feel it start to bruise. I turned around to pinch the man between his shoulder and neck. He plopped down. I reached for my phaser as my name was called out, "Sara!"

I hurried towards the men. I tried to speak but nothing came out. I frowned. This is not good.
