It was a couple days after Stores had left the gifts and cards in Janvier’s office that the doctor and Enj walked into the cargo bay. It had been a quieter than usual shift in Sickbay. With the last of her reports now completed and no long-term patients there hadn’t been much for her and Enj to do. By the end of the shift, Enj had grown restless and ansty. It was as good a time as any for Elaine to search out and thank the person behind it all. She had her suspicions that she knew who it was, but she wanted to be sure so she could thank Reed properly. Even if it she had been wrong, or he wasn’t around, the walk would do her and Enj some good at least. Because it was a good chance for them to stretch their legs it had seemed like a good idea to bring Enj along with her.

But when Enj suddenly took off as soon as they entered, she started reconsidering the wisdom in her decision. Watching Enj tear around the Cargo Bay like he’d been locked in a kennel for a week, was exhausting. Perhaps it would have been wiser for her to let him run around on the holodeck for a while before she had taken him through the ship. He was like a raquet ball pinging around a court, as the dog dashed madly from one crew member to another. It was hard work just maintaining visuals on him, she didn’t have a hope of catching him with the head start he had on her.

Lt. Janvier (CMO) & Enj

Stores, being on his back under the transporter platform found himself at the mercy of a ball of energized fir and a wet tong. “Ach!” And muffled thump come from under the platform where the tan pant legs and heavy mag boots are sticking out. “Well hello buddy, did you escape sickbay”? Tho with Enj trying to lick the inside of his nose and mouth it sounded more like bad coms…

“Enj!” Janvier admonished, running over as soon as she spotted the dicoloured ball licking his most recent victim. “Let the man breath,” As soon as she was in arms length she reached under Enj’s belly and hauled him up and off of Stores so that the man could have some room. “I’m sorry,” she apologised, securing the wiggly animal firmly under her arm, “I should have taken him for a run before I let him go wandering about the ship,”

She stepped back giving, Reed space to get up properly. “You know better than to pounce like that.” she scolded the dog, though one look at her face it was obvious that she wasn’t really serious in her scolding. Especially when Enj managed to use the arm holding him up as a springboard to launch himself up towards Elaines face and smothering her with doggy kisses until the doctor managed to get him safely tucked away again.

The sight of the Doctor’s face halfway under the transporter platform was if anything more of a surprise to Stores that’s was Enj, who for a moment suffered a laps of judgment and tried to set up. Eliciting another thump and a muffled curse from under the machine.

The doctor winced in sympathy at the sound of the bump. She hadn’t meant to surprise Stores and make him hit his head.

Once freed from the wet assault and recovering his presence of mind, Stores slithers out from the access way.

Setting up, Stores face showing a look of surprise and a spreading blush. “Uh… hello Doctor, to what do we owe the pleasure of your presence?”

“I’m trying to find someone and I thought you might be able to help me Mr Reed.” Janvier smiled, she tilted her head a little to the side, her eyes quietly reading Stores’ face. “Someone left a gift for Enj and myself in my office. I want to have the chance to thank them, but all I could find out about them was that the transport was initiated through the cargo bay transporters.”

She paused for a moment to read the mans face and body language to see if he would give himself away, then said softly, “Thank you,”

Lt. Janvier (CMO)

Behind the glasses Stores blue eyes fairly twinkled. “When you go above and beyond to treat peaple with kindness and dignity, some one is going to notice, Doctor.” The older mans eyes glistening with gradifaction as he reached out to stroke Enj’s fur. “Thank you” Stores silently mouthed.

Enj wagged his tail and licked Stores face.

After an few moments awkward silence, “Do you drink Coffee Doctor Janvier?”

Clinton “Stores” Reed, Supercargo

“Coffee,” Elaine looked surprised at the suggestion, “I do. Actually it was pretty much all I lived on back at the Acadamy. Coffee is the traditional med studen diet,” she joked.

“Do you drink it much?” she asked.

Lt. Janvier (CMO) & Enj

“Well, I do now, but honestly I will take my alkaloid stimulants just about any way peaple brew them” Stores smile growing to a grin. “I am working on a project for Ensin Forgrave, and I need a neutral coconspirator.”

“If you would give me about five minuets to button up Old Number Two up, cant leave her with her bloomers showing.” Laying back and pulling himself back under the platform, “ I would love your opinion…” squirming back out in less than a slow count to twenty “ and your company more so” Setting up and turning around to secure the panel with practiced movements. Like any good engineer he was done in less than half time he estimated.
