Mimi continued hold on to Rachel and encouraged her to be
quiet and then the intruder alert sounded. She caught
Specialist Gordon seem to add even more starch to his spine
out of the corner of her eye. Rachel struggled even more.
"MOMMY...... DADDY..." the child shouted.
"They'll be all right," Mimi responded and hoped that she
wouldn't be lying to the child.
"NO.." Rachel screamed and pushed at Mimi. "LET ME GO!"
Rachel had about squirmed her way free and Mimi loosened her
grip a bit to get a better hold. It was an unfortunate move
for the little girl broke free by kicking the young
counselor as hard as possible. One foot caught Mimi in the
chest while the other caught the side of her face.
Martin watched the outburst with wide frightened eyes which
he turned to Laura. "It's alight." she said speaking in a
soft tone. " Rachel's upset. Don't worry Martin." She
squeezed his hand between
her own as she spoke but looked towards the little girl.
Rachel streaked across the room toward the specialist. Mimi
gasped pulling air into her lungs and then scrambled to her
feet to dart after the little girl.
Gordon stood with his back to the door and as the little
child came hurtling at him, reached out a hand to grab her,
almost pulling her off her feet.
"Keep control of her can't you?" he growled, glaring at
Mimi. "Do you want to invite Romulans in here? Keep the
noise down!"
Laura crossed the room towards the door with Martin holding
tightly to her hand. "Mr Gordon..please let's all keep calm
shall we?" she said in a reasoned tone. His face was drawn
into a displeased frown but he released Rachel and replied
gruffly, "Just keep them quiet."
Mimi pulled Rachel into a gentle hug and then held her by
her arms and waited until Rachel looked her in the eyes.
"Remember .... we talked about this and your Mommy and Daddy
wanted Laura and I and Mr. Gordon to keep you safe."
Tears streamed down Rachel's face as she nodded to Mimi's
words and she clutched her bear even closer. Mimi picked
Rachel up and returned to the now hidden corner. Rachel
snuggled into Mimi but asked, "Why do the Romlans have to be
so mean?"
Mimi didn't have an answer. She held the little girl a bit
closer and let a tear or two slip down her own cheeks as she
met Specialist Gordon's gaze.
Martin had taken a step forward and looked up at Gordon who
towered over him. "You wont let them in will you?" he
asked.
"No one's getting in here," came the reply. "You just keep
quiet and do what you're told ok?" Martin said nothing but
looked back at Rachel and after a moment, remembering his
promise to Rangi to be brave and
care for the little girl, he freed his hand from Laura and
crossed the room towards his little friend.
"What do you want us to do?" Laura asked Gordon quietly.
"You've got your phasers..keep them ready. As soon as the
comm works again I'll get new orders." Laura nodded and
turned away.
Mimi overheard the suggestion that the specialist had made
and pulled her phaser from her waistband. She checked the
setting and hoped she didn't have to use the weapon. As
Martin approached Mimi replaced the phaser at her hip and
gave the little boy a smile.
He looked from her face to the place where she had hidden
the weapon and swallowed down a huge lump that seemed to be
sticking in his throat. "Don't cry, Rachel," he said
turning to his friend. "Please, don't cry."
Mimi gave the boy another smile and laid a reassuring hand
on his shoulder. She mouthed, "You're doing great, Martin."
Rachel sniffed and looked up at Martin. She burst from
Mimi's arms and practically tackled Martin with a hug for
him. "But I want to cry.....," she replied as she held on
to Martin almost as tightly as she was holding on to her
bear. Taking a cue from Martin though as well she strived
to reassure her friend, "Your Daddy and Mommy will be ok."
Rachel had stopped the sobbing but tears still ran down her
reddened
cheeks.
Martin nodded. Everyone kept telling him that.' It will be
all right...don't worry..mummy and daddy will be ok' But it
wasn't alright, he 'was' worried and no one actually knew
where his mummy and daddy were. There were Romulans on the
ship, as well as firing at it from outside, Mimi had a
phaser and probably Laura did too. He felt rather sick and
suddenly very hot. "Lets play with my ships." he said
roughly, reaching out to
take the nearest one. Rachel knelt down too.
Rachel looked at the ships on the floor but couldn't even
think of picking one up. She hugged her bear closer,
thinking {my daddy will fix the ship and mommy will fix the
peoples}.
Martin looked at the little ship in his hand. It was a model
of the Qashqai.
Rachel looked over at Martin staring at the replica of his
Daddy's ship. "I'd rather hear Mimi read another story."
Rachel scooted over to Mimi and Held out a special book that
the counselor with the pretty black hair had given her about
the Greeks.
Martin had liked the Greeks stories and made to put the ship
down but changed his mind and holding it firmly in his hand
followed Rachel and asked Mimi: " Can you read the one about
the giant man with one eye please?"
