A few hours passed by as they travelled they not spoke or looked at each other since they left her apartment, it was not long till they reached to their destination looking at the time to see it was nearly coming up to 12 she knew full well it was going in and sleep and talk in the morning. Going through the national park there she saw it taking a deep breath she parked her aircar and looked at the building. Outside it was dimly lit, getting out of the vehicle they both walked up to the door while Carol unlocked the door switching the lights on she turned round to look at him "you can have a walk around to see where everything is" she walked out to bring in her stuff.

Khan started to walk around he was already in a large living room it was furnished in a country-style theme with a beautiful fireplace, moving along the kitchen next very small and modern with a door leading outside, leaving he looked around the bedrooms that had their own bathrooms he left the last room which was a very large study room looking all around the room a whole wall which was basically covered in bookshelves full of books going from the history of Starfleet to types of weapons basically every book that a library would have.

Once Carol had unpacked her bag in the master bedroom she walked out of the room looking for him. Khan was sitting down in the living room looking deeply at the fire that was lit, letting his mind relax as he could hear Carol's soft footsteps come closer. Looking over seeing her in a sleep shirt that hugged her body perfectly, Carol walked towards the kitchen where Khan slowly got up to follow seeing that she was getting a drink ready for her to take to bed "we will talk about whatever you need to say to me tomorrow" turning around, "yes we will" walking away "there is a spare room across where I will be so make yourself comfortable, goodnight". Brushing past him gently she walked to her room she could her Khan opening his door and closing it, climbing into bed trying to get comfortable hoping tomorrow will be a good one.

Next morning

Barely having much sleep throughout the night Carol looked at the clock that was beside her seeing it was coming on to 8 o'clock softly hitting the pillow she decided to get out of bed, quickly getting changed into a vest top and jeans seeing how sunny it looked outside. Quietly walking out of her room she walked over to the door where Khan was, opening the door just a little she saw Khan who was still asleep. Leaving him still to sleep she walked to the kitchen and hopefully will be getting answers out of him of what he wants.

Pouring herself a cup of coffee she sat outside looking at the garden that she used to play as a child, closing her eye's remembering the most of her happier time's she had here. Hearing noises coming from the kitchen she saw Khan who was in his black trousers and a tight fitted black vest quickly moving her eyes off of his perfectly toned body. Coming outside her say next to her "Morning" he said to her "morning, how did you sleep?" taking a sip from her cup "fine, you?" shrugging her shoulders Khan knew that she hadn't much sleep from her eye's that were dark.

Taking a breath Carol looked towards Khan "let me get one thing clear before I help you with anything: I will not help you build anything doesn't matter if it's against Starfleet or anything personal I will not help you" Khan smirked putting down his mug "no Carol its nothing of that sort" she had a confused look on her face 'okay he is not planning or plotting an attack' she thought.

Leaning closer to her she moved back a little "I want you to help me to get my crew, all my work and I will leave and never to return" her face was showing a shocked expression but she listened to what he had to say in all. Over an hour talking understanding of what Khan wanted, knowing that his ship the SS Botany Bay was destroyed so it was going to be risky to get a ship for him and his crew.

Rubbing her face Carol was really stuck in the middle but big time, helping a criminal and to look for a ship to take him and his crew okay this was going to get out of hand. Lifting herself off where she was sitting Khan watched her movement he knew clearly she was over thinking and stressing about it, it was a big risk for her and her career in Starfleet. "Look I am going to take a walk to get my head straight here, I mean this is crazy" Carol said as she started walking away "do you want me to come with you?" offering her accompany her "no!" as she continued to walk.

Walking her way around the lovely woods remembering where she used to walk and play as a child taking what's in all around her smiling to herself as her head was clearing up of what she and Khan was talking about.

Feeling exhausted enough as she is; she turned around starting to walk back while walking she kept either near falling or losing her balance 'ok carol just relax' she said to herself her mouth felt dry as anything, quickly she walked to get back till she stumbled over leading her to fall down hitting her head in the process "argh!" moving her hand to her head her vision started to blur, her eye's feeling heavy.

Losing her fight to keep her eyes open, panicking wondering if anyone is going to find her or even to help her so letting a tear fall as she slipped into unconsciousness.

It had been a few hours since Carol went out on a walk Khan who started to feel worry inside of him, knowing he should of went with her especially how she looked so weak. Starting to walk in the direction of where she walked from into the woods hoping to find her walking back but she wasn't anywhere to be seen.

"Carol!" shouting her name about the 5th time now Khan could feel his heart racing, where could she be? Walking, jogging while trying to find her. She couldn't be far he thought going around everywhere stopping for just a second to catch a breath till he saw something in the corner of his eye's.

Moving to what his eye caught his eyes went wide quickly moving till he saw Carol down the ground, panicking more when he seen the small amount of blood on the side of her face. "Carol!" dropping down next to her checking her all over seeing if she injured anywhere else but wasn't.

Carefully lifting her body up he walked quickly but carefully not to cause her discomfort, feeling her move slightly looking down seeing her still unconscious he was hoping she would wake up soon but for now he just walked back to treat her injury's before it gets too dark.
