Through gritted teeth. “You can’t have it both ways! But that does settle it.” He calmed back down and looked at the floor. “You never said you loved me and here you are saying it to him.”

She finally glanced back at Kane, her eyes were soft for him. She knew they would have to have it out so she simply picked up her empty coffee cup and nodded to them both. “I have to be there for shift change.”

Without another word, she disappeared out of the room. Once in the hallway, she took a shaky breath and clenched her teeth to keep the tears at bay and headed for engineering.

Kane listened and his jaw fell when she said she loved him. He watched her leave, and then looked at Taggart. “You know, I get this wasn’t easy. And that you’re hurt. And for the most part, you handled it better that I anticipated. But my friend, you can be a Grade A pain in the a%$ sometimes. You can talk to me like that, you know I dont care. But she does. And you just treated someone who want to be your friend knowing how awkward that would be like trash.” and he pushed the coffee away.

“Smart move, seeing as you so many people clamoring for the position.” and he turned and left as well.

Kane, CMO

(((changed the borg reference, forgot no borg yet hehehehe))

Before the doors closed Kane heard Chris yell. “So it’s my f##king fault now?!” Then glass breaking as he threw his coffee cup at the door and it shattered. He then fell to his knees and started crying.

Chris

The door slid open again anger a moment and Kane walked back into the room. He stood over Taggart with his hands on his hips. He let him sob for a few minutes, and then finally bent over and put his hands under Taggart’s arms and lifted the man off the floor.

“No, my friend. The situation isnt your fault. How you handled it is. And that was pretty piss poor. Good thing for you I’m your friend and I have to deal with your s#$% as often as you do mine. Now. Up. On your feet . You’ve cried harder at one of those vids you watch all the time. What was that, ‘Saving Private…’ something. Hell, I dont remember. ” and he got him into a chair.

“You’re right. I will apologize to her later and right now to you. I’m sorry Kane.” Wiping tears from his eyes. “It was that movie, just don’t tell anyone.”

He walked over and opened the cabinet door, moved the dishes, and pulled out the good bottle. He poured a half glass and set it in front of Taggart. “Doctor’s orders. Drink.” and he took a seat on the other side of the table.

Kane, CMO

Taking the glass he took a sip and sat it down. Looking Kane in eye. “I mean it. I’m sorry for my actions towards you two. I know I should’ve known better and do better, but I couldn’t. I don’t know how to explain it but I just couldn’t see past fog like I usually do.” He took a couple more sips.

Chris

Kane looked at him through his hair, and simply said “You cared for her. I mean, I get it. And I’ll tell you, had I known about you two, I’d have kept my mouth shut and stayed on my lane… you know that.” amd he shook his head amd looked at the table. “I’m sorry, Taggart. This isnt your fault, and it’s no one else’s either. It’s just a crap situation that can work out for everybody if we fight through it…” and he chuckled slightly. “Like Todre IV.” and he looked up at Taggart slightly with a grin. It was an unspoken rule with them: You don’t talk about Todre IV. It was such a cluster. The fact they made it out at all, let alone with the target, and them alive!… was sheer luck and absolute fate. No other way. But now, with some time as perspective… it was absolutely hysterical.

Kane, CMO

He started laughing a bit. “That was a colossal cluster. I know you wouldn’t blatantly do that to me nor I to you. But it still hurts the same.” He drank the rest of the whiskey and looked up at Kane. “So what now?”

Chris

Kane shrugged. “I dunno. I told you where I’m at. She told you where she’s at. Only one left to decide where they are at… is you.”

Kane, CMO

“Then I will go to her after I calm down more. Thank you friend.”

Chris

Kane actually gave him a sympathetic half-smile. “I’d wait. Let her calm down a bit, too. Breakfast. You two. Chat. Be friends. If you can swing that, you’ll be fine.”

Solomon

“Sounds good. Now if you don’t mind, I’m going to pass out on this chair.”

Chris
