A woman wove her way through the lobby and arrived at the reception desk panting. “I’m Kristina Cosgrove. It was reported that my sister has been admitted?!”

The receptionist nodded. “She’s been taken to surgery and we’re waiting for an update.”

“We?” she asked.

Conrad had somehow noticed Kristina coming in, but not outright due to familiarity. Yes, she was attractive, and he being the man he was, could not help appreciate it.

The receptionist pointed to the waiting area. “They brought her in…”

When she turned to face him however, his face changed from enjoyment to surprise. This time he did indeed recognize her. Oh, yes. Of course she was here.

Kristina turned and her mouth dropped open. Gathering herself, she moved over swiftly. “Captain Conrad. What the hell is going on? How did Halai end up with you? She never told me she was coming here.”

Conrad put on his best ‘don’t worry everything is ok’ face. “To be honest, Kristina, she didn’t tell me either. I’m not totally convinced that’s even your sister in there.” he said a little quieter now, hoping to not gain too much attention from others.

“What do you mean?” Kristina said, her brow furrowing.

He gestured to a seat next to him. “There are no tatoos on her face at all. But…she’s registering in all the instruments as Halai. But that’s not the strangest thing. She and Akem suddenly burst through an old science lab on a station barely used for much anymore. It’s a sketchy place. Definitely not somewhere I would expect your sister to be at.”

Her body felt heavy as she sat, her frown deepening. “Akem is with her too?” She shook her head. “None of that makes any sense. I talked to her last week. She’s on Tyrellia, though she’s supposed to be leaving in a few days for a conference on Betazed. And Halai would never get rid of or cover up those tattoos. They are a symbol of everything she is, a part of her as the air she breathes.”

“I’d say some sort of twin we never knew about but that doesn’t explain Akem.” Kristina’s mind was whirling with possibilities and so far none of them made sense. Her fingers tapped on her thigh as the worry set in. What if it was Halai? Would she lose her sister this time? Fighting back tears her head dropped as she tried to take steady breaths.

Michael noticed her worry. He wasn’t a typically sensitive person, but he could understand at this point. He put an arm around her gently, simply being there as they waited for word from the receptionist.
