A/N: Thank you for all you reviews, they make me feel happy :) It's one of the last chapteres...

Disclaimer: I don't own it, well maybe except that lovely lady, Dr Kendist :) All mistakes are mine.

The two women have had a very busy day. First they went to the market to buy some ingredients to the dinner Lauren was planning to cook. Alicia wasn't too thrilled with accompanying the doctor and helping her, but she hadn't got choice. So while the doctor Kendist was shopping, Wash was following her around, planning.

Secondly they went to school, where Wash had been organizing the first aid lessons. Of course she wasn't planning attending to this lesson any time soon, but when Commander told her to take care of Lauren; she was more than pleased that she still has to visit the school. Lauren hated children and an hour in the class with ten year olds will make her think twice before she will want to approach Nathaniel again.

So when they entered the school, the kids surrounded the two women. Wash greeted all of them with a lovely smile, exchanging some small talk with them. She love those children, they were what Terra Nova was all about, like Taylor was always saying, they were hope and fresh start. Lauren in the meantime pushed two girls, who was watching her with interest away and made her way into the building.

The lesson took more than an hour and when they finally left the school Alicia waved to the children to goodbye, while Lauren was looking at her nails and muttering something about drink. Children went to the building, so Wash turned to face Lauren; she repeated her demand. Washington only shrugged and made her way after pissed off doctor, smirking to herself. And now they were sitting at Boylan's bar with drinks; whiskey for Wash and some color drink for the doctor. Lauren hair was in mess, on her T-shirt there were few stains and the look on her face was priceless. She was drinking her second drink, and she was a little tipsy.

"You know Wash I have to… to… have to tell you something."

She started, taking a sip of alcohol. Alicia, who was sitting in front of her, raised her eyes from her barely touched whiskey and gave Lauren full attention.

"Taylor and I, we had something… we could have something, but no… You fucked it up! Every time you have to fuck up my life!" Dr Kendist hissed. "Yeah, Wash this, Wash that… Wash would do it in that way, always Wash."

"I don't have a clue what are you talking about." Alicia answered.

"Every time while he was visiting me since we broke up, I heard your name." she said and put the empty glass on the table. After the moment she looked at Washington, smirking. "But you know what? When we were having supernatural sex, he was screaming my name in ecstasy…"

"You are lying! He wouldn't even touch you!" Alicia's stomach tightened up on the image of Nathaniel in the bed with that bitch. She raised up from the table and put her hands flat on the desk giving her ominously look. Lauren laughed when she saw it.

"Oh yeah? Ask him! He was screaming my name so loud that everybody heard that. You will hear us tonight, lieutenant!"

Alicia frowned; her lips pressed together, pure madness in her eyes. She grabbed Dr Kendist by her forearms, she tightened the grip, pulling woman closer. Lauren swallowed hard and then she sneered.

"Oh…yes…yes… oh… Lauren… oh… yes! Lauren…"

She didn't finished teasing her, because Wash's fist landed on her face; Dr Kendist staggered. Lieutenant loosened her grip and pushed the doctor away. Lauren stepped back, but her feet rocked and next thing she felt was a cold floor. Alicia glared at her when she turned over the table; the glasses shattered into small pieces. She didn't wait for her to stand up; Alicia came closer and bending over her, she pin Lauren down to the floor, blocking every move the doctor made. Next Washington put her fist on doctor's T-shirt and slowly pulled her towards her, placing a punch on her face.

"I'm gonna kill you, bitch!" Wash said after Lauren had spat on her face.

It was too much for her; Lauren came back to the colony throwing herself on Taylor, flirting with him, teasing her and then she taked about Commander screaming her name. What is more she just spat her on a face. Wash wasn't very quick temper, but right now she flaring up; that bitch will regret every word she said tonight. After all how many she had already killed? She had been participating in the war in Somalia and in few missions before, besides there were the Sixers outside the gate. Too many to count, so one dead body more was nothing to her!

Washington's fist made a way to Lauren's face again, but before she punched the woman, someone from behind had grabbed her fist and then twisted her hand to the back, blocking it. She felt a warm breath on her neck and tighten all her muscles, the familiar smell and body; it was Shannon. Before she reacted he wrapped arm around her waist overpowering her.

"Knock it off, Wash! Come, knock it off!" Shannon yelled, still trying to take her off Lauren. When he realized it's ineffectively, he pointed at Guzman and his friend to help him with Washington. The three of them easily pulled Alicia away for a safe distance, Guzman and his friend were holding her while Shannon checked if Dr Kendist was ok. After several seconds he helped her stand up whispering something. Lauren nodded towards him with a small smile, which looked ridiculous on her swollen and red face.

In the meantime Alicia was trying let herself free from soldiers' hands. Every time she jerked, they tighten their grip.

"Let me go, Guzman!" she glared at him ominously. "Don't mess up with me solider, of course if you don't want to find yourself in the bio bed for a week or two!" She hissed when he was about to say no to her. He looked at Sheriff who only nodded to him; they released Wash. She jerked away from them and left the bar heading to the main square in the Terra Nova. She needed answers.

"Yes, thank you, Shannon." Commander said to the comm when he realized who came into his office. "Yes, she's here now. I'm going to talk to her about it. Taylor out." He stood up and turned off the radio giving his full attention to the woman who stood in front of him with madness in her eyes. "Shannon told me you had broken Lauren's nose."

"Son of…" she hissed frowning.

"That's it, Wash! What's got into you, lieutenant?" he said sitting on the table; one leg touching the floor, second hanging in the air. Commander gave Washington questioning look, but she didn't respond; she was staring into his deep blue eyes with a poker face. "I asked you a question, solider!"

"Have you been visiting her, sir?" she asked instead answering. He looked down for a moment and took a deep breath. "I take it as a yes. She said truth; you were after all, screwing her around!"

"Firstly, I asked you a question and you didn't answer me. Secondly, my personal life it's not you damn business, lieutenant!" he raised his voice, so the normal citizen would be scared to death by now. But this was Washington, the fearless lieutenant, who he trained himself. She wasn't scared at all. He could see it in her eyes; she was determinate to get the answer she wanted.

"You were secretly visiting her. You lied to me. How could you?" she hissed turning back to him and heading to the door. "You're an asshole!"

"That's insubordination, Wash!" he yelled at her.

"Whatever…" she shrugged not looking at him.

"You want to know the truth? Yes, I was visiting her, happy now! But I wasn't sleeping with her. I didn't touch any woman since Ayani died." He said, something bitter in his voice, like the sharp pain went through his body.

Taylor looked at Washington, who stopped in the doorframe. He could see how her muscles tighten up. She took a deep breath and moved her feet forward, leaving his office.

"I didn't do it, because of you. I care about you, Alicia. More then I should…" He said it when she was outside, so he was sure she didn't heard it. But it wasn't true.

As soon as she left the office, she dropped her poker face and all the emotion she was hiding behind it appeared on her face. The madness in her eyes turned to the feeling of betrayal. Her tensed body shivered, but not because she was cold, it was very warm and pleasant evening. The stars and the Moon appeared on the sky lightening the darkness with their lights. Washington was about to get down by the stairs, when she heard his quiet voice telling he cared about her. Tears she was stopping now were flowing down her cheek. She quickly wiped them away before anyone could see her. She had reputation to maintain.

Alicia made her way to her house. Fortunately the streets of the colony were almost abandoned, so she didn't risk someone would see her like this; broken. When she finally found herself in familiar surroundings of her house, she closed her door within her foot and made her way to the kitchen. She took a glass from the cupboard and put it on the table top. Next she took a bottle of whiskey from the fridge and filled the glass. She took it to her hand and emptied it with one gulp. Alicia run her hand by her ponytail; she undid it, letting her hair fall on the shoulder. She took a moment to calm herself down and relax her muscles. She gently massaged her neck with one hand, thinking about his word.

He wasn't sleeping with her. She was lying. Nathaniel cared about me, he said it! More than he should.

Alicia smiled.

So I made an idiot form myself. I should apologize him.

Her fingers reached to the radio. She was about to call him, when she realized how angry he is. Her smile changed into sad expression. She ignored his direct order and let him down; she was supposed to taking care of the guest and she had broken Lauren's nose.

"Normal 'I'm sorry' won't help. Think Wash!"

She put a glass into the dishwasher and turned around. She looked around the house stopping her eyes on the bedroom's door. She smiled under her nose and went into the room. She stopped in front of the chest of drawers; she opened the first drawer and took a small paper bag. Next she took second bag from under her bed and put contents of the small paper bag into the bigger one. She left the bedroom and headed first to the bathroom and then kitchen; she collected some things to the bag and left the house with a big grin on her face. She headed to Commander Taylor's place.
