The cell door closed behind Rangi as she was shoved inside
by the Romulan guards. She and Martin had been led by Harker
and his cronies to the lower decks of the station. They then
passed through an area that was clearly different from the
rest of the station, outfitted completely with Romulan
technology and looking almost as if it were a different
place.
When they came to what appeared to be a very secure area
with additional guards and personnel, the Romulans had
pulled Rangi and Martin apart.
"You..get in here." Rangis guard said roughly pulling her
towards a door that swung open.
She had little time to argue for the guard stood between her
and the child and pushed her towards the entrance hardly
giving her time to stumble in before the door was closed.
"Mummy!!" Martin cried as she disappeared from sight but
although he made to move forward, the intimidating guard had
turned to him and martin hesitated then stopped.
"Don't worry, Martin," Nicolas had said as the guards pulled
Rangi away, placing a hand on the little boy's shoulder.
"She will be just fine... just fine."
= An hour earlier =
For a moment everything was quiet inside the antechamber
where Rangi and Martin hid, when suddenly a blast knocked
open the secret doorway inside the alcove, revealing the
hidden pair. The silhouette of a figure stepped inside and
it was Nicolas Harker.
"There you are," Nicolas said calmly as he looked at them.
"I was looking for you."
Rangi, with Martin in the shelter of her arms, looked up at
the tall figure from her kneeling position near the now
damaged terminal. She got slowly to her feet looking past
Nicholas for any sign of the robed figures but the doorway
was filled by a Romulan guard.
Transferring her gaze back to Harkers smiling face, her own
expression showed her disquiet.
"I'm afraid you'll have to come with me, Commander. And I'll
have to tighten security measures a little, seeing as you
insist on trying to get away," he said, then motioned to one
of his Romulan guards to place restraints on Rangi.
"There's no need for this!" she exclaimed as a tight band
clasped around her wrists but resistance, as they say, was
futile. Martin stood close by, his eyes large and wary as he
took in the scene.
"There's every need, I'm afraid," Nicolas insisted. "But I
suppose I have to thank you for flushing out the traitors in
our midst. I knew this chapel was here but never before
considered that the Ruh'Bazeans would be capable of
something this covert...
"No doubt you were you trying to contact your people," he
said, looking at the old-fashioned terminal behind Rangi.
"It's dead," one of the Romulans said as he check the
terminal.
"Caught just in the nick of time then," Nicolas smirked. "A
few moments too late and you might have succeeded in
spoiling our time together. Now, let's get going."
good measure, kicked his foot against it then turned and
glared at Harker.
Nicolas looked at Martin taking out his frustration on the terminal
and then looked at Rangi. "Really?"
"There was no chance to send a message." Rangi replied
"...there's no need to worry about that."
"Good," Nicolas said, then motioned to his guards. "Bring them along."
