While walking the corridors of the ship, Zoi seemed cool and distant as always. She looked confident and professional while in uniform even though her mind was cataloging the work she would have to do shortly to handle the breaches that William Franks had caused. For now though, her capable staff would be carrying on the investigation without her. As soon as she had determined William Franks had posed no more threat, she left him in the Brig to come to Sickbay. She desperately needed to see Dira.

She knew Dira was in good hands but that did not alleviate the worry that plagued her mind until she could see it for herself. She let go of her analytical mind, still working through the work she needed to do, as she stepped into Sickbay. All she could focus on now was her partner and how close she had come to death at the hands of a mad man. The blond woman no longer looked confident and poised. She looked worried sick. Her steps faltered for a moment as she saw Dira laying on the med bed and then in a rush, she moved to Dira’s side. “Dearest!” Her voice called, shaky and filled with emotion.

Dira turned her head and smiled softly at Zoi, though her eyes shone with tears. “Zoi,” she said, reaching her good hand out. The left wrist was still in a brace for support while it healed the rest of the way. “You know I was half tempted to release myself to my quarters, but it’s better now that you are here.” So many questions sat in her mind but she didn’t know where to begin or if she truly wanted to know right now.

She took the outstretched hand and held it gently in her own as she perched herself on the side of Diras medbed. She smiled through her relief at seeing Dira relaxed. She brought the hand up to her lips for a gentle kiss and then pressed it gently to her cheek. “I am so glad you are safe!”

The contact and warmth of Zoi’s skin was so soothing, so reassuring. It was a much needed balm after a traumatic day.

“William is in the Brig. I found where he held you and my security officers are currently gathering all the evidence from the site as well as the bombs he made. We are also working on collecting data on how he snuck aboard so that that can never happen again. Obviously, I have a lot of work to do. I am so sorry I did not do a good enough job to keep you safe.”

Tears flooded her eyes and Dira shook her head. “No, it’s not your fault! He’d been planning this awhile, Zoi. It was all carefully orchestrated. There’s no way we could have known what he was up to. He was on leave and supposed to be on his way to a new assignment. He went AWOL. I don’t know how he snuck aboard and that is a concern, but he fooled everyone, not just you,” she said, her voice catching. Franks tricked her into being an accomplice to his plan and Dira resented it terribly. It made her angry!

She kept holding Dira’s hand but gently dropped them to the bed. “True, but it is my job to keep everyone on board safe. No one should be able to just sneak aboard my ship, much less for that long. Oh god, if anything had happened to you…” She left the rest unsaid as her breath hitched and she leaned forward to rest her forehead against Dira’s.
