Kovan hated to admit it, but he and Roman were alike in a lot of ways. Both stubborn to a fault and unwilling to let on when they were in pain. So Kovan saw right through the XO’s words. “You’ll need someone to at least look at your wounds.” Kovan said in answer, “And no one is alright in a few minutes after taking a hit from a phaser. So sit back and relax because you’re not going anywhere. Morgan and security won’t let that failure of an assassin get away.”

LaCroix raced down the corridor making for the bend in the hall in order to get out of Morgan’s line of sight. He was deceptively athletic, maybe not the fastest runner but with great endurance that kept him going at an even quick pace. But he was unlucky. Morgan’s aim was good and she had a solid line of sight. Her shot hit him in the midback, around his left side. His pace dropped quickly to a slow walk. It was impressive he didn’t drop too.

Roberts had followed and then cut down a side corridor that bisected the deck to come out in front of LaCroix and cut him off. He heard the whine of the phaser when Morgan fired and when he appeared his weapon was trained on LaCroix.

Morgan watched him slow to a walk and her thumb dialed yo the setting on her phaser, she was not chasing this guy. “Drop your phaser and get down on the ground LaCroix, or I will shoot you again.” She aimed for the hand that held his phaser. She was an excellent shot and she was more than capable of hitting his hand and making him drop it. A quiet hand signal had Ward aiming for the guy’s back and Richards for his leg all both set to heavy stun. Morgan crossed the width of the corridor at a diagonal, placing LaCroix between the three of them, like a triangle. But unbelievably the man kept walking…

All three officers fired.

LaCroix stopped when he saw Roberts in front of him. He was cornered, and under orders not to get caught… He was not going to drop his phaser. He raised his phaser to fire but there wasn’t time to get more than an ill-aimed shot off before all three officers fired on him, leaving him out cold on the floor, alive, but in need of medical attention.

The three security officers might have enjoyed that moment more than they should have, but they would never say so. Roberts was on him instantly and kicked the phaser away, just in case. Morgan used her foot to roll the man to his stomach and a solid thud was heard as hee knee dropped into his lower back, he weight pinning him to the floor. “Ward, go get the DNA kit and tell Alden we caught him.” She grabbed his arms and not so politely pulled them back and placed the cuffs on him.

She got up and hit the nearest comm =O= This is Morgan, release deck 6. We’ve caught the assassin. Send medical teams. Morgan zulu alpha-6882.=O=

Ward appeared next to Kovan and Alden. “We got him Cmdr, took four hits before he went down.” He grabbed the dropped DNA kit as the sound of locks releasing and emergency bulkheads retracting was heard. Then there was a flurry of activity.

Morgan got her DNA sample and Ward and Richards lifted LaCroix under his arms and dragged him toward a turbolift.

Randy and Elbbirt we’re the first off and went directly for Alden, a couple medics in tow with a stretcher. Then it Great and Temple. The normally gruff but caring Tellarite doctor was huffing and snorting like a wild boar on a rampage. He lifted LaCroix’s head by the hair. “Lucky for you,” he spat, “you’re unconscious. This treatment is gonna hurt.” He looked at Morgan, “I can treat him in the brig.” He released the hair and proceeded them back into the turbolift. Morgan checked the cell completely before they left him alone. He was not going to off himself or escape before his trial.

Roman was getting glimpses of what was going on further down the hall as Randy and Elbbirt approached him. “Don’t… let them mistreat the prisoner. Show him… We’re better than that. Better than he is.” He would love to let them beat the snot out of the guy and then claim he “tripped” but he was the XO. He needed to set an example. And more importantly he needed the group that sent LaCroix to be wrong about him.

Morgan paused, “Don’t worry Cmdr. He might deserve it, but we are Star Fleet. He will get treated and kept under 24/7 watch.”

“Roman?!” That was Randy, who was obviously worried, as he knelt down next to him. Elbbirt was quieter, calmer, it wasn’t his first crisis. “Son you don’t know how to stay out of trouble do you?” He pulled out his tricorder while Randy opened the medkit. “How are you feeling? Did you hit your head?”

Roman looked at Randy at the sound of him name. Randy looked really worried. “Glad it wasn’t Kovan. Would be worse for him.” Then he nodded his head towards Kovan. “He caught me. I’m fine.”

Elbbirt snorted and started pulling things out of his med kit. Alden was not fine.

Randy looked at Kovan, “What did you do after he got shot?” It was a calm question, not accusing. Randy was interested in whatever Kovan had done in the way of first aid.

“Caught him before he could hit the ground, then set him upright against the wall. I checked the phaser wounds and his pulse. He was able to carry on conversation with me and give sarcastic remarks.” Kovan reported to Randy as he moved back to give the medical professionals room to tend to the XO.

Randy smirked, “Oh so normal then, that’s good.” He was relieved Alden hadn’t lost consciousness. That was a good sign for his injuries and his heart. Randy pulled out a pair of medical shears and started cutting Alden’s shirt away. They needed it gone to get a good look at the burns.

Roman seemed to be getting worse. His answers were short and took a minute, his breathing was faster than it had been before, and he looked like he was sweating. There was a hole in his shirt surrounded by scorched material, now specked with blood. The bleeding from the wound had slowed by now, and it hadn’t been bleeding much in the first place. The pain felt like it was getting worse to Roman, he was trying to keep still just so it wouldn’t get worse. The shoulder of his uniformed shirt was also scorched by the heat of a phaser blast but the burns underneath, while hurting a little, weren’t anything like the abdominal wound. Another thought occured to Roman and he looked back at Randy. “Don’t tell Miranda.”

Elbbirt and Randy looked at each other and then back at him. Elbbirt didn’t like the results the tricorder gave him and prepared a combo of pain meds, antibiotics and booster for his heart. While Randy talked to him, Elbbirt gave him the meds he would try to refuse. “No worries there. We had to give her a sedative. The ship went into lockdown and she freaked out. Which is not like her at all.” Randy had a pair of tweezers and was picking threads out of the wound in his abdomen.

Elbbirt then administered a numbing agent to Alden’s abdomen. “Don’t even think of arguing with me right now. The sooner we get the pain under control and the burns taken care of the less likely you end up back on the cardiac support machine. So be still and let us work.” As Randy and Elbbirt worked at cleaning the burns as best they could, they also applied burn gel. Roman was going to need time with the dermal reginerator.

Elbbirt and Randy

“Oh come on Alden.” Kovan said from over Randy’s shoulder, “You say you’re fine getting shot twice by an assassin and now that you got people fussing over you all of a sudden it’s ‘no, don’t give me pain meds and clean my wounds, anything but that!’ I thought you were a man not some coward.” The words were purposefully rude and said specifically to make the XO angry.
