Rand was feeling better at this point in the night. She was totally embarrassed by her sudden panic attack. What was worse was that everyone seemed to notice. And then that impromptu ship tour for Lt Fordham, Ford. She had just enough time to step into the yeoman’s office, more like a closet, and download the reports from the data cards to a PaDD. Then she’d stepped over to Carmichael’s quarters to deliver them. They’d gone over the reports at length and Rand had taken notes and then, using the computer there, returned the signed reports to each department as they were finished. Luckily, she hoped, Carmichael hadn’t asked about what had happened. Maybe, unlike the doctor and Ford, he hadn’t noticed. So now, at 1920 hours Rand was finally walking back into her shared quarters with Randy. Totally wiped from the evening’s events and just wanting to curl up in her bed, under a warm blanket, and forget the whole thing had happened. She dropped the PaDD by it’s strap onto her desk as she walked in heading for her bed.

The door made that ever familiar woosh sound and it was either his sister returning finally or the security detail about to give the man some bad news. He rounded the corner, saw his sister and let loose with a “Miranda!” Randy snapped as he glared her down with a ferocity usually only down by their mother in dire circumstances, “where have you been?!?” He said, voice tense and his pace quickening, “I was worried sick! Stick I tell you! Not only does my sister freak out at the party I make a way for her to slip out right? Did she come back here? Nooooooo of course not. She decided to be god knows where!” Randy’s speech was quickening to a fever pitch. “ I hailed everyone I could think of and no one knew where you were! Leave a note for your brother? Nope! Can’t do that now can we?” Randy said, arms flailing in emphasis.

Rand stood there a moment listening to Randy rant and the longer he ranted the worse she felt. He was totally justified. Once, when she was 8 she’d totally disconnected and run, she’d ended up lost and had no idea where she was when she was finally able to think again. Randy had been the one to find her, but their mom and dad had been out searching for hours for her. Randy had taken it upon himself after that to make sure that didn’t happen again. She often wondered if her ‘problem’ forced Randy into counseling and psychology. He was a genius when it came to helping people and was really revolutionary about his approaches, he was, no he had changed a lot of people’s lives. Hanging her head, ashamed she’d gotten distracted she walked over and hugged her brother tightly. “I’m so sorry, Randy. I didn’t mean to scare you. I left just like the plan. I picked up the reports on my way, to stop myself from running, like you taught me, to stay calm and to focus on something. I…Ford…Lt Fordham stopped me. He wanted a tour of the ship and couldn’t find his quarters. I was late and had to go straight to the captain with the reports.” She felt awful and she’d had no right to worry him. “I am so sorry, Randy.”
