Surra couldn’t help but place a reassuring hand on her shoulder as she saw the emotion. She could tell how important Dira was to her without the words. “I will give her your message and I am sure she will understand why you cannot be by her side immediately. Zoi, I am not sure what Mr. Franks did to the Dira while she was held captive, but I want you to know that you saved her for any further damage he could have done. If you hadn’t been persistent in finding her, I am afraid her situation would gave been far worse. I will make sure she knows that you analyze and searched every part of this ship till you found out where she was.”

Zoi nodded and gave the doctor a reassuring half smile to acknowledge the kind words. Of course she was right. Dira would understand more than most. The ship’s security came first. While people on the bridge were working on the code, she needed to find out where he had been hiding and what he had done to Dira.

Dira and Solal had disappeared in those weird swirly lights. Frigga stood up and looked around and padded over to the woman who smelled like Dira. She nosed Haven’s hand gently to reassure her. Then when the man disappeared in those weird lights she barked happily 3 times in a row, as if telling the two women they had done a good job.

“FRIGGA I MUST INSIST YOU STOP THAT NOISE. YOU MUST NOT KEEP BARKING.” The AI, GALEN, sounded oddly annoyed with the dog. Frigga barked once more as if to tell GALEN he was dense.

Frigga

Zoi’s attention was drawn to the dog and she crouched down to give Frigga scritches behind her ear. “Very good girl Frigga. Very very good girl.” She reminded herself that she needed to go through the training course for the dog. Then got to her feet to resume her duties.

Another security officer appeared as backup and surveyed the scene. “Ma’am,” he said to Haven. “If you want me to survey the area and collect evidence, I can take over here. I know the team in the shuttlebay is still working on the boobytrapped shuttles.” It was not well known that all this, including the red alert was due to the XO’s abduction, but now that she was safe and the perpetrator in custody, they could bring others in to make sure that nothing else had been tampered with.

She turned to the security officer and nodded. “Yes Ensign Rochester. I will back track to where he held her captive. When additional security gets here, we want to cordon off the area until I get more information.” She handed him the comm badge the man had been using. “This was on his person. Oscar will probably want it on the bridge to examine its code. See that it gets there as soon as possible.”

Leaving him to follow orders, she turned to back track Franks steps.

Stepping into the the one storage room that Franks had gone down in front of and likely come from, it looked very normal. In fact it was too tidy and organized and so it was likely not where Dira had ben kept. But right in direct line with the door was a Jefferies tube access.

Through the tube and around a corner, there was a maintenance access space and it was there where a very different scene played out. At first, nothing looked amiss, but then small details appeared: the drops of blood likely from Frank’s face, a glass of stale water set to the side, Dira’s boots tossed off to the side along with a loop of optical cabling, and more optical cabling secured to a pipe that had clearly not been untied and still held a circle just big enough to hold wrists together. Somehow Dira had gotten free but it wasn’t until inspected closer that Zoi could see the blood on that lop of cabling where it had cut into the XO’s skin.

They were only a few clues but the painted a vivid enough picture.

As she gathered all the bits of information, her rage seethed low and deep inside her. How dare he kidnap the woman she loved and injure her? Leaving everything as it was, she turned and made her way back out to the main corridor. With anger obviously in her voice, she told Rochester, “Forensics should be here in a bit to gather evidence. I am going to see our captive. Coordinate everything here and inform me of anything surprising.”

Haven, CoS
