Molly remained silent as both Intelligence officers walked down the corridor from Transporter Room 1. Luckily, Wright’s quarters were in the same deck as the Transporter Room, making the walk a short one.

In her mind, thoughts raced about past and present. Their training together… Ashton and their destroyed relationship… Ryan and his fiancée… Cal…

As they approached the door to her quarters, Molly shook her head, dismissing the thoughts and realizing this to be the first time Ryan would be in her living space after the one they had shared together for a year.

“I’m sorry for the mess… my sister never stops sending me stuff…” Wright smiled apologetically before turning to the door and inputing her code on the keypad. As the doors opened, they revealed a spacious comfortable living room that was far less messy than what Molly had seemed to let through. One of the walls had a big stack of crates lined up against it. Inside some of them, blue, yellow and white objects could be seen. Other than that, the quarters didn’t seem very lived in. On the coffee table a picture of a happy couple sat — Molly and a man that Ryan might or not recognize as the Dresden’s CO.

Molly motioned for Ryan to enter.

Capt. Wright, CIO
