Alexis looked over at Solomon, “Daniel’s gone. He left on an assignment for Intel and didn’t come back.” Alexis wasn’t sure how much Solomon knew about Daniel or vice-versa. She hadn’t really explained about Hannah and Daniel either. It hadn’t occurred to Alexis to do so. She and Hannah had joked a little that at some point they would both look into it. Well Hannah had joked and Alexis had agreed because it was the obvious course of action. She thought maybe Hannah had been warning her that Daniel already had. It was right around the whole incident with Soulis, and Alexis knew Hannah had worried.

Bonner

His brow furrowed and he said “Didn’t come back as in no longer interested or able? Or didn’t come back as in didn’t come back?” he asked somewhat gingerly.

Kane

Hannah hadn’t said much, but thinking about what she did say and how she said it. “As in he didn’t come back. She didn’t specifically say he died, but she kept talking about all the things she wished they had done.”

Bonner

Kane took a breath. “Fu<%. I’m so sorry, Lex. I know she’s your best friend. Her hurting must be rough and hard to process. What can I do to help?” he asked as he took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze.

Kane

Alexis squeezed his hand back, “I don’t think there is anything you can do. We can’t change what is.” She hated it for Hannah. She was the sweetest most genuine person Alexis knew. “I don’t know what to say to her. Dad, you remember, we met him once.”

Anthony gave her a quizzical look, “I did?” The last time he had seen Hannah. “Not that DaVinci fellow? Oh she was crazy about him. I thought he was sent on a long term assignment?”

Alexis nodded, “He was. 5 years. Hannah was transferred to another ship and he was there.”

Anthony sighed and shook his head. How heart breaking. “There really isn’t anything you can say, Nugget. Just listen.”

Bonner

Kane shrugged. “Im not the best source for sh-, er, stuff like this. So I’d listen to you dad on this one.” He looked at the floor and shook his head. “That just sucks.” and he took a deep breath and then looked up, pulling the hair back away from his face. “Where is she going, then? Or does she not know yet?”

Kane

“She didn’t say. Just that she took a new position, and might go home first. She would call when she got settled. It should be easy enough to look up where she is. I’m going to call her.” She slipped her feet to thenfloor and moved Frigga off her lap and got up. She pulled out one of her larger PaDDs from her bag on the work station and then disappeared intobthe bedroom.

Anthony looked at Kane. “I could use a drink.”

Bonner

Kane simply nodded once and got up and went to a cabinet. He opened it and took out a clear bottle with a reddish liquid in it. He got two glasses and poured a fingers worth of the liquid in it. Handing one glass towards Anthony as he sat, he said “Go slow. Its strong.” and clinked the glasses together before Anthony took his.

Kane

Anthony took the glass and took a very small sip and savored the burn all the way down. He stared at the bedroom door where Alexis had gone and then sighed. “You know when Alisson finds out, she’ll go straight after Alexis. Not to take her anger out, not at first, but she’ll think she can convince Alexis to give her what she wants. Then when Alexis doesn’t, she’ll get nasty.”

Bonner

Kane shrugged and said “Well… she’ll try. With that request for a VPO, she kinda screwed herself. With it, we couldn’t get within five hundred feet of her. But since she requested it, a court would probably wonder why she is instigating contact with people she is ‘supposedly’ needing protection from. That’ll look bad for her. Oh, and I already locked her out of sickbay and the labs and the arboretum. She can go to her quarters and the Lounge… oh, and the shrink’s office. But that’s it.”

Kane

“Stop doing that,” Anthony chuckled slightly and took a drink. “Labs, Alexis’ work, I get it, I really do. Locking her out of public recreational space proves her point. That we are causing emotional damage and all that. Besides Alisson knows I’ve been working there and that you take Frigga there to walk. So she should avoid it on her own if we’re so bad; she won’t. When she loses it, I want it to be somewhere public with lots of witnesses to back up the security feeds. Somewhere she should be avoiding because I am there. That despite her request for a VPO she came looking for me, on her own, and instigated a problem. Especially in a space with people who know me, that aren’t you and Alexis.”

Bonner

Kansas shrugged and said “Be careful what you wish for…” and stood up and went to the computer. A few moments later, he sat back down. “Done. But if she does full blown cuckoo-for-cocoa pops, watch your eyes. And Security is aware there is… ‘tension’… surrounding her.”
