[TWO MONTHS AFTER PART 9]
The alarm woke Kathryn from her sleep and she looked to her left to see her husband slumbering beside her.
She got up and proceeded to the replicator, she was definitely in need of a coffee.
She put a hand to her head as she felt dizzy all of a sudden.
She shook her head getting her bearings back. "Coffee, black."
She ordered from the replicator and the substance appeared.
She walked to the table and sat down going over the reports.
All of a sudden before her a 'tracer' uncloaked. "Where is Kellin?"
Kathryn shook her head. "We haven't seen her since the last time we spoke to you."
The tracer stared at her, "Very well."
And he disappeared. Kathryn sighed, "Janeway to the bridge."
Tuvok answered. "Yes Captain."
"I need you to scan for Ramuran life signs, the tracers are back."
She heard a hesitation over the line. "Yes Captain."
She slowly made her way over to where Chakotay slept. "Chakotay the Ramurans are back and Kellin is somewhere on the ship. The bridge crew is attempting to find her."
Chakotay shook the cobwebs from his head. "I thought we figured out a way to track them."
"We did, but apparently they have figured out a way to circumvent that."
Chakotay stared at her, "What does she want?"
Kathryn shook her head. "I have no idea, but we have to find her and get her off my ship."
Chakotay nodded and got dressed and proceeded to the bridge.
[HALL WAY OUT SIDE TURBOLIFT THREE]
Chakotay felt a presence behind him and turned to see Kellin decloaking. "You didn't really think you could hide from us forever, did you?"
He stared at her, "Get away from me. Leave this ship and never come back."
"The bounty on this ship went up; I'm not leaving without complete control."
"That is one thing you'll never get."
Kellin laughed, "How is the Captain, I hope she recovered from her little accident."
Chakotay stared at her with hatred in his eyes. "You killed my son, almost killed my wife. I have no use for you, get off my ship."
Kellin waved her hand and the cloak went up.
He slammed his combadge, "Chakotay to Janeway."
There was no answer and Chakotay went on a run back to his quarters all the while hitting his combadge. "Chakotay to security."
"Yes Commander."
"Kellin just appeared outside the turbolift on deck 2 and now the Captain is not answering her hails."
Tuvok responded, "Sending a team to the Captain's quarters. Tuvok out."
Chakotay proceeded at a run to his and Kathryn's quarters. He keyed in the code to unlock the doors and the doors opened to a site that he hoped he would never see and didn't know how to react.
Kellin was there with her hands around Kathryn keeping her immobile and Q was there at a sort of standoff with Kellin.
Life went in slow motion for Chakotay as Kellin took out a phaser and pointed it at Kathryn's head. "Stay back or she dies."
Q looked at the woman and contemplated what to do.
"You hurt her; I will make sure you never existed."
The standoff continued and Chakotay watched in horror as he heard the doors to the quarters open and the security team barged in.
Kellin's attention was momentarily split and he heard a phaser go off.
Kellin slumped to the floor with Kathryn going along with her.
Q waved his hand and everyone disappeared to end up in sickbay.
Chakotay rushed over to Kathryn and felt a weak pulse, "Doctor check the Captain."
The Doctor rushed over to the Captains bed and began scanning her.
She looked okay but her blood pressure readings were over the roof.
He left the Captain and went to check the gash on the security guard's head. He fixed it and dismissed him back to his station.
He went over to Q. "What are you doing here?"
Q put up his hands in a surrender motion. "I was coming to see how Kathryn was doing. I heard it's been a hard year for her, and then I was going to save her from Kellin and the security guards got lucky do my services were no longer needed." He looked at Chakotay, "And I knew if I timed it right, this was going to happen with Kathy." He sneered at Chakotay, "Congratulations Chuckles, you got out of the Captain what I never could."
He waved his hands and he was gone.
