Kane stared at the screen for a long time, his mind doing all kinds of gaming and probability analysis. Eventually, he just looked down and said softly “I don’t think Hannah is the one we should be worried about…” and Kane began to clean up.

Kane sat there so long that Alexis had finished her shower. She was straightening the bedroom and picking up pieces of the broken drawer. She paused in the door way at his voice and sighed. She really wanted to believe that Hannah was okay. She knew it wasn’ther choice or mostly none of her business, unless Hannah chose to tell her. She wantes this Reilly to be good for her. “Do you think someone connected with Daniel is after her?” Before Solomon, Alexis never would have made that leap, she never would have seen the possibility.

Kane shrugged. “I don’t know what that Daniel guy was into. But I know for a fact that if someone was? Reilly is probably six steps ahead of them.” He looked at Alexis and then gestured to the coms. “Just call her, for f!<ks sake. Ask her whats going on. She’s your best friend. And she knows how your mind works. She won’t get mad. Call her.”

Alexis shrugged. “I was only asking because of what you said. Or are you worried for Reilly?” Then she laughed, “You’re curious!” Alexis walked over to the comms and keyed in the connection request and waited. “Really she will be more irritated I am interrupting my honeymoon again.” The Star Fleet symbol rotated around and around for several minutes and then flashed as the connection was made. Han…

Hannah interrupted her, beginning to sign rapidly. Alexis’ brows went up and she leaned forward slightly and then began to respond. Both men had seen Alexis and Hannah sign enough to realize this wasn’t FSL, but something else entirely.
