SIM:Nemesis-Firing Squad

Firing Squad

((Prison Cell))

Hearing movement and sounds coming from Diamond, Kays crawled over to him and checked him out.::

Kays: Paul, are you ok? Come on, can you hear me??

Diamond: Yeah, I can hear you just stop yelling. :: Rubbing head:: What happened?

Kays: He hit you in the back of the head. Are you ok?

Diamond: Yeah, I think so, just a huge headache,:: goes to stand up, and sits back down fast:: and a bit dizzy it seems too. I think I have a slight concussion. How about you, how's your arm?

Kays: I'll be fine. Lets figure out how to get out of here.

Diamond struggled to his feet and walked drunkenly to the door and checked it.:: It's locked, and probably guarded.:: Goes back over to Kays and plopped down next to her to check her arm.::

Kays:: Pulls her arm away,:: I told you I'll be fine!

Diamond: I'll be the judge of that if you don't mind.

Kays:: Glaring at him:: Fine, here, look to your hearts content. Fat lot you can do without your tools.

Diamond: You'll be surprised. Hold still. :: looking at her arm:: I don't like this, too much burned. ::Looking around the room, he tried to stand up and moved to the counter and started to go through the drawers. Finding a container, Diamond opens it and headed back to her, picking up a piece of rope that was used to tie her up with.:: This is going to sting, but it will help with the pain, and don't tell me it doesn't hurt, I can see that it does. :: Puts on the cream from the container despite the discomfort she showed, and covered it back up with the strip of shirt he used before.:: Now, to prevent you from moving it I’m going to use this rope as a sling to hold it still.

As Diamond immobilized her arm, Kays heard a noise outside the door.::

Kays: Hurry up, someone's coming.

As he finished, the door opened and someone was thrown in. The doors closed and Frink rolled on to his back. He realized he wasn't alone. ::

Frink: Diamond! Kays!!

Diamond: Frink, is that you?

Frink: How long have you two been here?

Kays: I'm not sure, as long as the Captain and Took. We were all picked up together.

Frink: I saw the Captain... she's... alright for the moment.

Diamond: What do you mean by that, what's happened?

Frink: ::sighing:: It all went wrong very quickly... Simmons didn't make it.

Diamond: What do you mean "didn't make it"? Is there anything I can do?

Frink: I'll explain later. They're probably listening to us now... even so, we have to be ready.

Kays: You have an idea on how to get out of here?? What is it?

Frink: You'll know when it happens.

Diamond: I have to tell you, we're not in the best of shape. Kays can hardly walk, and I'm still a little dizzy from our encounter with that InJerra, so I don't know what use we'll be.

Frink: I'm not any better shape then you two. It will be alright.

Kays:: Struggling to her feet, almost falling before Paul catches her,:: I'm up for anything, right dear??:: Looking into Diamonds eyes, pleading.::

Diamond: Right....... Count us in Frink. What do you want us to do? Frink: Nothing. Actually, just wait.

Kays:: Nods head, :: Understood, we'll be ready.

Diamond: I think we should rest, : Checked out Frink condition and helped him out as much as possible,:: especially you.

Frinks: ::smiles:: I think I've been in worse shape. ::grunts:: Maybe not.

Moving over to the other side of the room, Diamond slid down the wall and relaxed. Soon Kays slid down next to him and cuddled up to him::

Kays:: Quietly talking:: I'm sorry for yelling at you like that, just frustrated is all, nothing personal.

Diamond: I know I didn't take it personally. This must be murder for you not being able to do anything.

Kays: Worst. I feel like a failure for being caught and feeling useless isn't something I'm used to. I hate this.

Diamond: It's something no one likes or can get used to. I hate it when there is nothing I can do for a patient, especially one that I like. :: Looks at Kays::

Kays:: Rubbing her arm:: You did everything you could, and I'm sure it will be enough. Besides, if we get out of this, you can finish what you started on Nemesis.

Diamond: That’s a promise.

Kays slid closer to Diamond and started to shake, as if she was crying, and Diamond put his arm around her and held her to him. After an indeterminate amount of time, the door opened and three guards entered holding weapons.::

Guard #1: On your feet scum, lets move it.

Frink: Hold on... ::Frink struggled to his feet:: You know, we could all use adoctor.

Guard #2: No talking, move it. ::Shoved Frink towards the door. Waking Kays up, she wipds her eye's and tries to stand. Diamond helped but she waved him off.::

Kays: That’s ok, I can do it my self, :: Smiled at Diamond:: Thanks anyway.

Diamond: Ok, I'll be right behind you just in case.

Guard # 3: Less talk, more movement.

The guards lead them out of the room they were in and through different hallways. Too many twists and turns to keep track of where they were going, just easier to follow.::

Kays:: Leaning close to Diamond:: I'd appreciate if you don't mention any of this to anyone.

Diamond: Your secret is safe with me, dr./ patient confidentiality. :: Leans over and kisses her fore head.::

Guard #3: No talking.! :: Hits Kays with his weapon. Diamond turned around with fire in his eye's ready to attack and the guard brought his weapon to bear.:: Go ahead alien scum, give me a reason.

Frink: Diamond! ::shakes his head::

Kays: Paul, he's right, I'm ok, let it go. :: Leaning closer:: Thanks for the gesture, I appreciate it.

Diamond: I meant it he made me furious! I couldn't stand you being hurt, or roughly treated.

Kays just looked at him and smiled. After some time, they finally came to what looked like an air lock and was brought to a stop. What was to happen next? Were they going to be jettison into space? When were they brought into space? Or were they?::

Guard 2: When is Injeera supposed to get here?

Guard 1: Soon...

Guard 2: He's always late. I had this...

Frink: ::turned his head around:: I hate this too. Why don't we call the whole thing off?

Guard 1: Shut up and turn around!

Frink: ::smiles:: Ok. :: Frink stareed at the door. He was unable to tell if they're still on the planet or not. :: Injeera doesn't seem like a nice guy. I don't know how you put up with him.

Guard 1: I told you to be quiet!

Frink: ::looking over at Diamond:: Diamond, didn't we have a guy like InJeera back home? ::winks:: You know, the kind of guy that gives orders all the time but actually does nothing.

Diamond: Oh, you mean Mr. InDolent. That’s why he's in that great position and we're stuck here.

Frink: Right. And takes all the glory. ::sighs:: InJeera strikes me as that kind of person.

Guard 1: If you don't shut up I'll...

Frink: What? Kill us? Naw, you won't do that. You have to wait for InJeera, don't you?

Guard 2: Look, we've been given orders to kill you if give us trouble!

Frink: I'm sure... But you won't. You're too frightened of him. It's ok. I understand...

A voice came from the guards uniforms:: Attention all personnel; the witch and her concubine has escaped. Keep on the look-out for these criminals. They are considered VERY dangerous. If encountered, SHOOT TO KILL!:: All three guards looked at each other with a mixture of shock and fear as well as Frink, Diamond, and Kays.::

Frink: Maybe InJeera's not coming. Maybe the "witch" got him.

Diamond: Not necessarily, he could have let them go, against orders.

Guard #1: Shut up both of you, before I shoot you here and now.

Guard # 3: Maybe their right! Maybe something's happened to Captain InJerra. What do we do?

Kays: You know, this could be the time for one of you to step up and take over.

Frink: I agree. This whole thing could be one giant mistake.

Diamond: You could just let us go like InJerra did.

Guard #1: Shut up, all of you. :: Looking at the other two guards:: Don't listen to them, they are only trying to confuse us. We haven’t had our orders rescinded as of yet, so we're going forward with them! :: He turns back towards the keypad and started to key in the code. The guard finished putting in his codes and air hissed out as the door opened. When it finished, the guards pushed us into the new room.::

Guard #1: Move it, get in there.

Entering one at a time, Frink lead the way, then Kays, followed by Diamond. The room was bare, kind of sterile. Not knowing what was going on, Diamond began to get nervous. They were lead to the center of the room and left there.::

Guard # 1: Place them into position. :: The other two guards moved them next to each other, tied their hands behind their backs, and anchored them into hooks bolted to the floor. :: Move out of the way. :: To the prisoner's :: Now, let it be know that your deaths will mean something for my people; we will not be over ran by off worlders like you!

Frink: You don't have orders to do this...

Guard#1: SHUT UP, no one gave you permission to talk! :: To other guards :: Take your positions. Ready weapons;

All three raised their weapons.::

Frink; Diamond; and Kays all stood tall, accepting their fate like true Star Fleet Officers. At the last moment, Diamond and Kays stole a look at each other, and what passed between them couldn't be expressed in words.::

Guard#1: Aim.......

Wong: Fire??
