"Dammit Jim, stay awake," she could feel Bones' hands on her. Breathe, all she had to do was breathe. They were at the compound for five days when they got their opportunity to find the information they needed. It was stored in two different systems, Jamie and Bones went for one while Sulu and Uhura went for the other. Hacking into the system was the easy part, getting out, not so much. Sulu and Uhura had cleared the exit when Bones and Jamie were stopped. She tried to talk their way out, but it turned into a fight quickly. Jamie got them out but took a bullet in her side. "Who the hell uses projectile weapons anymore? Come on, stay with me, darlin'."

The only thing keeping her alert was Bones yelling at her. Fixing a bullet wound wasn't difficult, it went straight through, the hard part was trying to fix it while you're trying to get away from the people shooting at you. Fortunately, Sulu and Uhura didn't go far and Trip had a small team on the ground that moved in to cover and extract them. She could hear Jack on the comm with Trip, she knew the man well enough to know that he was not gonna be happy. Jamie was drifting, she could feel Bones' hands on her side and Uhura's hands in her hair, she didn't know where Sulu was but she could hear him talking.

Jamie listened to Uhura tease her in Italian, "You're going to kick yourself when you realize that you've spent the whole ride with your head in my lap and you couldn't do anything."

Jamie gave her a week smile, "That sounds like an offer, Ny."

The linguist chuckled, "You wish, Jamie."

She smirked, "Like you wouldn't believe." She heard Uhura laugh. Jamie was fading out, Bones said something that Jamie didn't hear before she passed out.

When she came to, the first thing that she noticed was that she wasn't moving any more, the second thing was a voice.

"... you're the one who taught Jamie how to make that, I figured it was Hoshi or her aunt." Bones, that was Bones talking to someone.

There were clean linens under her fingers and the smell of being in a hospital, she was in a bio-bed; they were back at Trip's nameless compound. Jamie listened for a little while longer, but she couldn't make out everything the other person said, she knew the voice though.

"What are you two talking about?" it came out just above a whisper. Bones chuckled and Trip was next her in a flash.

"Your cookin', especially your shrimp and grits, Doc says they aren't bad for a mid-western girl."

Jamie slowly opened her eyes, "Grits sound really good right about now."

Trip smiled, "When he gives you the okay, I'll make you some."

She sighed, "Real ones, not replicated? With tons of cheddar? And bacon and eggs and toast?"

"Of course, this is me you're talking to," he chuckled. "How you feeling, J.T.?" Jamie looked around, "Like I got shot. How did we do?"

He took her hand, "Spock, Gaila and Chekov are working on the decryption as we speak. You guys did good." She looked at him while Bones scanned her.

"You sound like that's a bad thing."

Trip shook his head, "You're already on 31's radar, I think I made it worse. You're a good operative."

She smirked, "Well, I had a good teacher. I'll worry about your boss later."

"You know, your boyfriend has been ranting since you guys got back. He ain't so bad," Trip told her. Jamie raised an eyebrow as he continued, "He did a damn good job. His taste in football teams is horrible but I think I can overlook it." Jamie laughed, Bones was a fan of the Ole Miss Rebels and Trip loved the University of Florida Gators. The two teams have been battling it out for centuries, Jamie smiled that the teams gave the guys common ground... men.

"How long was I out? And where is everybody?"

Bones answered her from the end of the bed, "A few hours. Just long enough for me to do my job. You can get up if you want but you gotta take it easy. They moved the ship into the hanger, so everyone is here. You know, that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen."

She rolled her eyes, "They were gonna shoot you. I made the logical choice, I can't patch you up and you're heavier than me." He was about to say something but stopped at the look she gave him, she had a point and he knew it. Jamie got up, with some help from Trip she was standing on her own feet.

Bones watched her for a moment. "Don't overdo it, please." She knew what he was thinking but didn't say. She nodded and Trip spoke.

"I'm gonna take her in with the others, see if this brain of hers can't help get into the intel you found. If that's alright with you Doc."

Bones crossed his arms over his chest, "Like I have a say in this."

Sulu and Uhura were in the room with the others when Jamie, Trip and Bones entered.

"You look better. I was starting to worry," Uhura said to her in Italian.

Jamie smiled, "You do care about me."

Nyota rolled her eyes, "Maybe a little."

"You guys know that none of us understand you, right?" Kelso asked from where he was sitting.

Jamie chuckled, "It's Italian. Trip and Spock understand us just fine. Just be glad we aren't speaking in Klingon or Romulan." Kelso gave them a look and Uhura smirked.

"Look at his face," the linguist said in Klingon.

Jamie laughed, "Don't know why people don't believe us. It's one of the first languages I learned."

Sulu chuckled, "Now they're just messing with you, Lee."

Gaila chuckled and shook her head, "You should feel special. They don't pull out the Klingon for just anybody."

Jamie sat in an empty seat and helped with the decryption, she smiled when Trip placed food in front of her a few hours later, "And that's is why I love you."

He chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "There's plenty for everyone. Just don't eat the vegetarian meal I made for Spock." The Vulcan seemed surprised that someone would make food just for him. Trip shrugged, "I served with T'Pol for a long time and lived on Vulcan for a while. Just don't expect me to eat plomeek soup, though… I draw the line there."

Jamie laughed, "There's nothing wrong with plomeek soup, Trip."

He smiled at her, "You eat anything."

She shrugged, "Almost starved to death, remember." Spock and Scotty both looked at her, Spock's face gave away nothing but Scotty was an open book.

Trip chuckled, "I thought you said that they knew."

"Everybody but Spock and Scotty. Tell 'em if you want, I don't have the energy for that conversation right now." Whatever Trip was about to say was cut off by Chekov.

"I got it!" the kid called.

Everyone moved so that they could see his screen, Bones summed it up the best, "Oh my God." Jamie looked at Pike and Trip, "We gotta warn the fleet."
