Chapter Three

Malcolm stirred and tried to raise his hands to stretch out his aching muscles, but promptly realized that his hands were tied behind his back and that he was sitting beside Trip in the co-pilots seat. “Welcome back ta th’ land of th’ livin” Trip said. Malcolm shook his head and became acutely aware of Konon still behind them, pointing his gun directly at Malcolm’s chest.

***

Trip was glad his friend was awake, but now it made things more complicated and he just hoped Malcolm kept his mouth shut and didn’t make any smart ass comments. Trip punched in command after command. He had to get this right, otherwise they’d all be dead. Docking was a very serious procedure. The ship lurched slightly as Trip suddenly cut the thrusters. Konon quickly cut Malcolm’s bonds then backed up.

“Don’t try and do anything stupid, either of you.”

They both got up from their seats and walked past Konon to the door. Trip opened up the ramp which slid into place.

“Move.” Konon said simply.

They walked down the ramp into the cool light of day. Malcolm felt the barrel of the pistol push its way into his back. Trip saw what Konon was doing but continued walking up to a building. He looked at Konon who nodded. They were about to go inside when a group of twenty armed guards rushed through the door and pointed their guns at the trio. Trip yanked Malcolm’s arm and the two of them slid into an alley. Ten guns followed them while the other ten guns were trained on Konon. Konon wasn’t going to go out without a fight. He raised his pistol and started to fire, but ten stun blasts hit him before he could get off a shot and he slumped to the ground, out like a light. Trip and Malcolm weren’t that dumb. They both raised their hands and slowly got up. Trip was slightly grinning.

Malcolm looked at his smug face. “What’s that for, Commander?”

Trip turned to him. “I sent a silent alarm ta th’ police station, so they’d com’ an’ arrest Konon.”

Malcolm nodded his head as they were lead to the police station across the street.


***

Trip sat in the cell alone. He knew that he had done the right thing in turning Konon in, but, the, why did he feel so bad? Was it because Konon got desperate under pressure and that was why he pulled the gun? Trip didn’t know. He sighed as he gazed at the wall. The police had told him that they would contact Enterprise and have them come and pick him up. Trip guessed they had already done so. Which meant Enterprise was probably already on her way. Trip made a decision, one that he’d probably regret later. He was going to break Konon out and get him to the Border. Trip owed him that much. He could leave Malcolm here because Enterprise would come soon enough. Trip watched as the guard entered and placed a tray of food down on the table near the door. In that split second Trip jumped up and tackled the guard, punching him out with two quick hits to the head. He took the guards weapon, slid the guard’s body under the bed, and calmly walked out of the cell, closing the door behind him. Trip heard the door automatically lock in place. Trip took the guard’s keys from his pocket and slipped them into the food incinerator. In seconds, the keys weren’t even matter. Taking the gun, Trip proceeded down the corridor.
