Sleep doesn’t really come. I lie very still and keep my breathing even well past the time I’m sure that Lucas is sleeping. He’s on the floor between his bed (which he insists I take) and the door.

Tomorrow will be here soon whether I’m ready for it or not. In a few measly hours we leave to go on the rescue mission. Is it even possible for me to be in such a close proximity of Mason now? Will the Captain make him stay behind if I ask him to? Can I even do that to Mason?

The more important question is whether or not I’ll be able to focus with him there. Will I be able to make the right decisions with him there distracting me? My own preference aside, what’s the best choice to successfully complete this mission?

In my heart I know the answer. I know what has to be done. I creep out of the bed and over Lucas, grabbing some clothes from my duffle bag on the way. I may as well take a shower while I can since any hope of sleep is long gone.

I crank the water’s as hot as it goes and scorches my skin. It doesn’t hurt more than the pain inside me. When I finish dressing my skin is still pink from the water. At least it helps my red puffy eyes blend in a little more.

By the time I step back into the room (and over Lucas) the sun glows softly through the shade. I slip on my boots before I wake Lucas and tell him to go to the bed. He mumbles something incoherent, but gets up and flops down on the mattress.

The maze of hallways is eerily quiet. I soften my steps so my boots don’t sound so loudly and echo down them. It doesn’t take long to reach the Captain’s office. The door’s locked and there’s no answer when I knock. I decide to wait Captain Jennings out rather than hunt him down and sink down against the door with my knees to my chest. Soon footsteps sound from the end of the hall.

“Kat, is that you?” Dr. Ford calls. Before I have a chance to answer he moves closer. “What’s wrong?”

It’s silly to think that my appearance could go without notice. “Would it be okay if we wait for Captain Jennings to get here, too? I don’t know if I can tell the story more than once.”

He nods and surprises me by dropping on the floor beside me. We sit in silence for a few more minutes before more footsteps sound and Captain Jennings approaches. He looks at us for a moment and takes stock of my emotional state. Captain Jennings reaches out a hand to me and pulls me up.

“Here,” He hands me a cup in his hand while Dr. Ford gets to his feet. “You look like you need this more than I do.”

I grab the Styrofoam cup in acceptance and wait while Captain Jennings unlocks the door.
