Chapter 14 – Peeping Tom
Piper placed her right hand over her eyes and sighed "Finn...seriously" Finn looked at the navigator confusingly "what?" he said rudely "Alright, I'm sorry for falling asleep but come on I haven't had much sleep...if only we had the Condor" Finn brought on a silence amongst the group.
A few minutes passed before Starling remembered what she wanted to say next "Dez" she said catching the attention of her brother "Yes Starling?" replied Dez with a slight smile "Why were you attempting to escape before?" Starling was staring into Dez's eyes now.
Dez quickly shot a look at Piper then back at Starling "it's been 8 years Starling, I just thought it would of been better if you thought I was dead then to find out after all of these years that I was still alive...look at me I'm a 22 year old drunk" Dez turned his back on Starling and began to walk away.
"But...your alive and that's all that matters to me" Starling smiled as she spoke.
Dez lifted his head as he heard her, he was about to turn around when he suddenly tripped over a bulky object on the ground.
Quickly standing up either from frustration or embarrassment Dez bent down and picked up the object. It was in the shape of an 'X' "Bloody thing" he shouted. Dez was about to throw it away when he was stopped by Piper "Dez, No! That's Storks hidden controls for the Condor!" Dez turned the object over to find controls.
"Push that button" said Junko suddenly appearing beside Dez, he pushed it, nothing, or so they thought.
Suddenly they could hear clamps releasing "Well sounds like its close" noted Starling who was slowly helping Harrier up, which was a difficult task.
Within a minute the Condor appeared on top of the Terra "trust Stork to park the Condor UNDER the Terra" Finn admired Storks genius yet paranoid parking.
Now a board the Condor everyone met on the main deck.
Piper was the first there, in her usual position, bent over the table concentrating on the maps that were laid out across the table.
As everyone slowly arrived they gathered around Piper anxious to hear her new plan.

4 weeks later
---------------------------------------------------------
Piper sat at her research bench in her room absently staring up at the top corner of her room.
"She's been doing that quite a lot lately" whispered Starling who was accompanied by Dez.
"Why? She isn't usually nervous before a mission is she?" asked Dez confused by the navigator.
"It's not that Dez" replied Starling "What do..." Dez stared at the Interceptor who was looking at the Rogue, as though she was sending a secret message with his mind.
"Oh, you mean to tell me that..." Dez paused "that Piper...and Aerrow...are?" Starling nodded.
A sudden gloom hit Dez, "Piper and Aerrow...are..." thought Dez with a blank expression.
Starling waved her hand in front of Dez's face "hey! Are we still alive and kicking?" asked Starling trying to get Dez's attention.
Dez suddenly snapped out of his train of thought "Hmm? Sorry Starling?" Starling shook her head "I really need to have a catch up with you, so much has changed" Starling smiled as she walked off towards the main deck.
Dez stared at Piper, he watched as the sun played through her blue hair as if it was a forest, he watched as she rested her head upon her hand.
Dez was so focused on Piper he didn't notice Finn appearing from his room, Finn made a coughing sound "What you up to?" asked Finn with his arms crossed.
"Hmm oh hey Finn, nothing really" Dez replied, now feeling uncomfortable he quickly made his way towards the deck.
Finn stood at the Piper's door as he watched Dez disappear around the corner "I don't trust him, not one bit" thought Finn as he turned to enter Piper's room.
