<USS Avalon> Exhaustion

Exhaustion 
by. Lt Junior Caine Reilly McKinsely

Her quarters were dark and she was more than happy about that, with how she was 
feeling, the dark would fit her better then the light.  Tossing the PADDS that 
she had in her hand on the chair by the door, Caine walked through her quarters 
towards her bathroom.  She wanted to light a few candles, to give some light, 
but that would just be too romantic for her and right now, she couldn?t handle 
that.  

Letting the light from the stars outside her windows light her way, she cleaned 
and washed her face of her make-up.  Slowly and sadly, she began to take her 
hair down and let if fall loosely around her shoulders.  Caine began to clean 
up her make-up and put it away, she wouldn?t be needing it for a very long 
time, at least until this stupid investigation was over and her and Javan could 
continue with their relationship.  Of course, with how things seemed to be 
going, she wasn?t sure what was going to happen, with this investigation or 
between her and Javan.  

Caine moved into her room and slipped out of her uniform and wrapped her robe 
around herself.  Moving slowly back into the main room, she looked at her 
dinner table, it was still set for a romantic meal, and the food that Caine had 
prepared for their dinner, was sitting there, cold and wasted.  Dejectedly, 
Caine began to clear off the table, she just throw the wasted food away and 
began to put the plates and things away.  

For a day that had started out so wonderful, it had quickly gone down hill but 
Caine swore that if Javan called her ?Lieutenant? one more time though, she was 
going to hit him, she absolutely hated being called that by him.  It seemed so 
formal and impersonal, which they had been anything but for a while now.  Caine 
knew though, that she should stop her pity party and be serious about all this, 
she was in charge of the investigation and she needed to keep her head 
straight.  

Taking a deep breath, Caine lay down on her floor, with her feet on the chair 
and began to collect her thoughts and relax herself.  She felt her body loosen 
up and decided to climb into bed and try and get some sleep, she would need for 
all the rest she could get for dealing with Commander Skyler in the morning.

Caine just hoped she could finish up with this investigation quickly.  She 
still had to question Commander Skyler and the other officers that had 
witnessed the argument on the bridge.  It was going to be a long next few days.
