Scene: Brig | |||
Corey Campbell lay on the hard mattress inside HOOD’s brig and stared at the ceiling. He couldn’t believe that that idiot Bennis bit him but more then that he couldn’t believe that he’d been arrested. Arrested and thrown in the brig like some sort of common criminal! He’d been brought up on charges many times in his checkered career, he’d been reduced in rank more times then he cared to acknowledge and he’d spent more time on restricted duties then not. But he’d never been arrested. | |||
He liked Captain Steele, he even liked Commander Merrick, although he still couldn’t figure out exactly why. But they had gone off the deep end this time. Arrested? He chuckled at the memory of Bennis wailing like some kind of injured cow, the FO standing in an exam gown and in the middle of it all the captain looking like he could chew through duranium. It had been quite a scene, right up until Steele had gotten all stern and started spouting out charges and ordering people into the brig. It just was crazy. Certainly the captain would calm down and come to his senses and let him out of the brig. They’d all had a long and trying day and emotions were obviously running high. Steele would make the order soon. He was sure of it. | |||
Of course Lieutenant Hemux hadn’t helped things. He couldn’t figure out how she’d been able to pin it on him. Of course she hadn’t actually said she knew he had done it he realized. All she had said was that someone had accessed the files. They’d all just assumed he had done. And why wouldn’t they? He was, after all, the smartest one on the ship. By a long shot. But he’d covered his tracks. There was no way they’d be able to pin it on him, not in a million years. Still, Hemux had noticed the breach and, he admitted uncomfortably, he had been sure that no one would be able to see anything untoward had taken place. | |||
But the captain liked him. He’d actually been more lenient then any other commanding officer he’d ever had. And it wasn’t out of fear like some of his other COs. Steele actually recognized the tremendous asset he had aboard his ship. He wasn’t stupid he knew he needed Campbell. | |||
Corey smiled up at the ceiling. It would all be just fine. | |||
