The gym was empty, just the way he liked it. The CMO locked the door and set the lights to his preferred setting: mostly yellow hue, like old fluorescent lights. Dropping the bag he carried onto the floor, he took a position on a mat and began to stretch.
He was dressed in loose fitting clothes, somewhat threadbare, with sweat stains and small holes here and there. It was clean and didn’t smell, thankfully, but it was obviously well used. He began with basic stretches, and then moved into yoga.

Kane, CMO

For three days Bridie had been considering what she had learned from Taggart. And she had been following the Doc, so to speak. At least, she had been following his work out pattern. It was similar to hers. Late nights, quiet times, little to no people around and easier to commandeer the single gymnasium on deck 6. Tonight he was later than usual. It was the perfect chance.

Grabbing up her towel, and water bottle, she stepped into the hall and made her way down to the gym. Her soft shoes made no noise on the deck as she moved swiftly. Her sweat pants hugged her body but gave a bit more breathing room than slim fitting leggings and her top was a full shirt instead of her usual crop top. She wasn’t out to seduce him, merely get him to talk and not kill her.

When she got to the gym she smiled. He had locked the door. Lifting the wall plate off from beside the entrance panel, she reached in and switched a couple wires. She then replaced the wall piece and palmed the door. It slid open and she stepped in and keyed in her password to override the lock once more so no one else could get in. Without a word, she moved to the far corner from him, set her bottle down and quietly began to stretch.
