A/N: Okay say hello to chapter 4! The story continues from where we left off last. Enjoy and please don't be shy by leaving a review! It would be much appreciated!
Battlestar Galactica:
Kara was lying on her rack listening to the talk wireless regarding today's news. This has been the normal for her ever since Roslin decided that searching for Lee was expanding too much valuable resources and risking the lives of the fleet and that it needs to be halted.
Fleet wide News
2 months has passed since the unfortunate disappearance of one Major Lee Adama, now if none of you know, he is the Admiral's son. We have expanded 1 month of searching and came up with nothing but a heavy raider fragment. Shortly after the fragment was discovered there were multiple theories on what happened to Apollo. In the end, President Roslin ordered the search to be halted indefinitely and the search for Earth to continue. Major Lee Adama's funeral…
Kara couldn't bear to listening anymore, she threw the portable talk wireless onto the floor of her quarters and the noise dwindled away. Leaving her in a completely silent space. For the last few weeks since the search for Lee was halted, she couldn't think of anything much other than that she disappointed Admiral Adama, again. It was her job that day to make sure Lee got home, she was his wingman. She failed and all she can think is that it's not the first time she killed an Adama.
Before long it was 0900 and she was expected in the ready room to conduct her duties as the new CAG for Galactica.
Cylon Basestar:
Hours became days, days became weeks and weeks became months. Now Lee wasn't even sure how long it has been since his capture. All the days were starting to blend together and as the days went on, his hope of surviving and being saved by Galactica dwindled.
As the days gone by, the cylons only fed him enough to stay alive but not even close to keeping his weight. With the lack of activity and nutrition, he has been almost reduced to nothing but skin and bones. There have been days where he wouldn't see anyone, where there wouldn't be any torture, where he had a break from all the mind games, but then after all that peace comes the hours of torture, it usually starts off slow then it becomes psychological and physical torture.
Lee hopes that today would be one of those quite days, usually during quite days he gets food passed to him by a centurion, other times he is just left alone. There are days where he doesn't receive any water, but when he does it a huge relief.
Looking at himself as best as he could, his body is littered with scars and unhealed wounds from multiple electroshocks. His arms and torso is a shade of purple, blue and yellow from old and new bruises from beatings. Just the shear horror of his body, he's quite certain that his face is disastrous. He already can tell that he has a busted lip, even if his lips were cracked due to the lack of water.
Battlestar Galactica:
"Galactica Starbuck, I'm not feeling too great. I'm gonna call in a relief pilot. Requesting permission to land."
"Starbuck Galactica, get yourself to sickbay. Permission granted. Wait for replacement."
"Copy that Galactica"
Kara has been sitting in her viper for the last 2 hours out on CAP with Athena and Hotdog, usually flying gives her joy but since Lee disappeared its mostly guilt. Everybody realized that she's not the usual Starbuck, the hot shot problem pilot to the CAG.
When she made her last pass around the fleet, she started to get this rumbling in her stomach and a sudden urge of needing to vomit. Kara didn't know what's been happening to her lately, she's been getting nauseous lately and she thought it was due to guilt of losing Lee but maybe that's not what's really been going on.
"Starbuck Galactica, Kat is in the launch tube, come on home and get to sickbay. Let Cottle see what's wrong with you."
"Wilco Galactica"
Cylon Basestar:
Today wasn't a lucky day for Lee, Number 6 walked in with Number 4. This time they rolled in a tray with them, seemingly looks like sterile equipment. Lee thought today would be the day where they slice him up like a laboratory experiment only to send his dead corpse back to Galactica or even not at all.
From the tray, Number 6 picked up a syringe and a small vial of liquid. She inserted the syringe into the vial and extracted a significant amount of liquid. She then expelled some of the liquid from the syringe then handed it to number 4.
Number 6 walked towards Lee, forcefully grabbed one of his arms, Lee was already weak from malnutrition and dehydration that it was hard for him to protest the hard yank of his arm. He couldn't do anything else but relent and submit to the upcoming torture.
As soon as the mysterious liquid was injected into Lee, he started to feel dizzy and lightheaded, before long he was out cold.
Battlestar Galactica:
Kara walked into sickbay expecting to see the familiar face of Cottle with a cigar in his mouth, instead it was too quiet. There was barely anyone there. She sat down on one of the gurneys and waited and out from the corner Cottle walked out with the familiar scent of a cigar.
"Thrace, what are you doing in my sickbay?"
"Not feeling too well Doc, nearly puked all of my cockpit."
"Alright, sit still. I'm gonna get a blood sample."
Cottle went to a corner of the sickbay to grab a trolley, on it Kara saw multiple medical equipment, ranging from syringes, to alcohol swabs and stitching equipment and small vials of liquids. Cottle grabbed syringe, used an alcohol swab and cleaned an area on Kara's arm. He inserted the needle into her vein and extracted some blood.
"Here, apply pressure to stop the bleeding."
Kara mumbles through her teeth. "Grumpy old man."
"What was that Thrace?"
"Nothing Doc, am I free to go?"
"Not yet, you're staying here until the results come out."
"Frakking doctors!"
Cottle walked away with the sample of Kara's blood, thinking of the multiple tests he would have to administer.
Cylon Basestar:
Lee slowly started to open his eyes, things were blurry and sounds were muffled, somewhat alarming is that it seems to be echoing. He didn't know where he was. The last thing he remembered was that he was still captured by the cylons, and that they gave him something.
A moment later he saw movement coming from the corner of his eyes, everything still seemed out of focus for him and his mind was still very hazy. He realized that it was a head of blonde hair that was walking towards him. At first, he thought it was number 6, but this woman got closer it became more distinctly like Kara.
"Hi Lee."
Lee recognized that voice, it was his Kara's voice. It sounded just like her, with that caring and kind smooth voice.
"Kara?"
"It's me Lee."
"How?"
"Long story. You have to tell them, you have to answer their questions."
Lee was looking Kara right in the eyes and he could believe that he was seeing her, he reached out and placed his hand on her cheek, softly brushing it.
"I can't Kara. I rather die than tell them what I know. To keep you safe."
A/N: okay, this concludes chapter 4… please leave a review, tell me what you think, what you like and what you didn't like. Can you guess what's about to happen? What is happening to Lee and what is happening to Kara? Questions that will be answered as the story continues.
