Awhile later, Kham Montri and Sol McMahon returned from the surface. Seeing that Leah was asleep, they moved off to the CMO’s office where they could talk without disturbing her.

“Vitals?” Kham asked.

“Stable. No more seizures. I think our guess about it being the psilocin was correct,” Hunter said. “Did you get her stuff?”

Montri shook her head. “Not yet. The constabulary wanted to look over her room undisturbed as a potential scene first. Once they give us the okay I’ll go pack up her stuff and bring it back.”

“What a mess,” Sol said. The med tech ran a hand through his hair. “At least she’s safe and out of immediate danger. Though if that Daro guy somehow gets to come around, keep me away from him, will you?” In his mind, even if had been a mutual decision, he had let Leah come to harm and while she had made it through, she could have easily died from the head injury or the overdose.

“Noted,” Sylvia said.

“I’m going to go check on her,” Montri said. “I… I know she will need her space but I also don’t think she should be alone right now.”

“We can take turns keeping watch,” Sol said.

“Agreed. Where’s Kreed?” Hunter asked.

“when I left he was in a patient room alone with douchebag asking him questions,” McMahon said with a smirk.

Sylvia quirked a brow. “And there was something left of him?”

Sol snorted. “Apparently. But Constable Malia was just outside so I don’t think he was in too much danger. Definitely some, though.”

The three chuckled at the thought of what Kreed might have done if there hadn’t been law enforcement outside the door.

Kham stepped out first and moved quietly over to Hart’s bedside, watching the readings in the bedside monitor. Satisfied that they looked okay, she pulled over a stool and took up sentry duty over her friend.

A little while later, Leah shifted into REM sleep. But a few minutes later, the monitors alerted the staff to a heart spike. Leah cried out and sat up abruptly, swaying. Everything was swirling in bright colours, but there was the distinct feeling of solid ground under her tiny feet. She had tiny feet. She stumbled and strong arms caught her. They were warm. Comforting. But everything was still spinning and she couldn’t see where she was going. Just the swaying green branches.

Except Leah was still on the biobed and Kham was holding her so she didn’t fall off. “BP is 150 over 90. Pulse 143,” Sol said.

“Leah, you’re on the Sentinel. You’re in Sickbay. You’re safe,” Nurse Montri said.

“Spinning! Everything is so bright!” Hart said, gasping for air. But Kham placed a hand on top of her head and that seemed to help, well, at least her emotions.

“You’re having another flashback. I know it’s uncomfortable,” Sylvia said. “It should pass soon.”

Leah nodded but then regretted it deeply. Tears slipped down her cheeks. “I was walking somewhere. In my heels. But not well.”

Her friends exchanged looks. “Just take deep breaths,” Montri said. Leah leaned against her, taking solace from her friend’s presence as the colours continued to swirl, though they began to slow down.

Thraz stood in the hall waiting for the crisis to finish, he had questions for Hart, but they would have to wait until she was stable. He took a seat reviewing the case. There were two gaps he wanted to understand more, the time in the hotel room, which was significantly long. And her time at the club. He was also curious about where her ‘date’ went when he went to look for her.

After a minute, the flashback dissipated and Leah took a deep and calm breath. She nodded to Kham. “I’m okay.”

Satisfied Hart was okay, Dr. Hunter moved to go see if Dr. Kreed had returned yet. Outside the recovery room, she she stopped. “Cmmander,” she said to sh’Kellirathras. “Is there something I can help you with?”

Thraz, smiled warmly had hunter, his antenna turned slightly testing the air around them to identify the new contact. “I’m here to talk to Lieutenant Heart” he he said barley looking up from his notes.

Sylvia nodded. “Of course. She’s awake and in stable condition. We are keeping an eye on her heart, as it’s been under significant stain. Just be mindful of that. Also, she is experiencing psilocybin flashbacks that are quite disorienting. She just had one, so it should be fine for awhile. Come on in,” she said, gesturing with her head and stepping back through the entryway.

“Leah,

Sylvia said. “Commander sh’Kellirathras is here and wants to talk with you.”

Propped up on some pillows, Leah gazed at Syvia and then the COS, nodding. “Sure. Why not. Though I warn you Commander, my party hosting skills have taken a bit of a dive.”

Thraz let out a little sniff, she could not tell if it was a muted laugh or irritation, his antenna twitched as he entered the room. “Mind if I sit down Lieutenant?” he said already moving to the chair, “I would like to take your statement” he said
