Reunion
By Katerina Evanovich and Christopher Kitson, featuring Grelch the Med. Tech.
Note: Takes plce after 'No Longer Alone.'
Turning round after administering a hypo the Ferengi was shocked to find
himself face to breast with a Marine. Tilting his head the medical technician
found himself captivated by a stunning raven-haired woman who exuded menace
from every pore. How did she get so close without me hearing her?
?Yes Private?? he managed to squeak out.
?Christopher Kitson, where is he?? came the terse response. The woman was
ready for action, her hand resting on her sidearm.
A tingle ran down his spine, whether it was fear, desire, or a mixture of
both he was unsure. ?He?s been placed in a side room, Admiral?s orders, on
account of his eye condition.?
Her implacable grey eyes fixed upon the small alien, ?Take me there now.?
Grelch gulped visibly. He?d heard that Starfleet Marines were a force to be
reckoned with. ?Right this way Ma?am.? And he led her towards a door, and
opened it.
The light within was subdued, the figure within the cot barely discernible.
?Lieutenant, you have a visitor.?
?That you Grelch? How many times have I told you to call me Christopher??
came a soft voice, ?You?re not even ?Fleet and I?m not on active duty.?
?True sir, I am only on a medical exchange but you are an officer.? He
wheedled.
Christopher managed a dry chuckle, ?Sometimes I forget you?re Ferengi, then
you fall into stereotype. Go on, get out of here.?
As the door closed Christopher reached for his glasses. ?Don?t skulk in the
shadows Kitty-Kat. Come up here where I can see you.?
His use of that nickname tugged at something deep within her as she moved
silently to the chair by the head of the cot. She caught it before it broke
surface, and looked down at the frail individual before her. Kissyfer, what did
they do to you? ?Sir, I trust you are being well looked after??
He managed a small smile, ?Not you too! By the Great Bird Katerina, we?re
family. That means that when we?re alone we drop the formalities.? Hell?s
bells, she?s even more like Mum than I thought possible.
An uncomfortable silence descended, neither one of them sure of what to say or
do.
