I am super sorry to anyone who read the totally random chapter posted here earlier, I uploaded the wrong chapter to the wrong story, sorry. By the way sorry if I don't update for a while, I have sophomore class finals, a term paper and a health (psychology) project, which I have been devising so I do not have to speak in front of the class. (Loopholes in the project requirements ...win.)
Mal Fallon
He watched as Natara walked out of the crime lab, once again avoiding his gaze. Rather than chasing her, he turned to Amy. Clearly whatever secret she was keeping from him she had confided in Amy.
"Why's Natara so upset?" he asked from her, trying to keep the curiosity from his voice.
"Nothing!" she said quickly, but looked almost as upset as Natara had.
"Amy, is Natara mad at me for something?" he asked.
"No, it's not like that! It's nothing to do with you Mal, it's just- I can't tell you!" she said. Frustrated, Mal stomped off and up the stairs after Natara.
Natara Williams
She walked quickly up the stairs, as if she could lose Mal this way. She wasn't sure why she was avoiding him, in all honesty she wanted to spend her last hours here with him. But she feared that if their eyes locked again, she would be frozen like a deer in headlights. That she wouldn't be able to stop looking, to move on and forget those deep blue eyes. That their piercing blue would haunt her dreams with the past she had tried so hard to leave behind. She was so engrossed in thought that she nearly ran into Captain Yeong, who had gone down to talk to Natara. "Sorry Captain" said Natara.
"Special Agent Williams, I just wanted to tell you that Chief Blare called. Your plane leaves…" But she was cut off when Mal came up the steps after Natara, listening intently to what Captain Yeong was saying.
"Mind if we continue this conversation elsewhere?" asked Natara. Captain Yeong looked at Mal, and seemed to see a layer of unknowing in his eyes. It seemed she realized that Natara didn't want him to know. For a brief moment her face softened, then snapped back to normal, though her voice was still soft when she said "Very well, my office". Natara left Mal on the stairs, and he looked somewhat betrayed.
