Chapter Five

Malcolm was returned to his cell, barely recognizable.

Jon and Trip had watched as their best friend had been dropped on the floor.

Trip rushed to Malcolm’s side and tried to clean him up.

Jon watched, feeling helpless.

Here he was, in a cell, watching as his crewman was probably dieing!

The door to the Brig opened and Shran walked in, along with his son who was holding the knife and whip. Both objects were stained with Malcolm’s blood.

“You bastard!” Jon nearly yelled.

“Spare me,” Shran said.

“You hurt my officer and you expect me to help you?” Jon nearly lost control.

“I expect you to save your commander’s life by complying. Because, if you don’t. He will end up exactly like the other.”

Shran said, pointing at Malcolm’s bloody form.

Jon held firm.

Shran nodded to a guard who unlocked Trip and Malcolm’s cell and dragged Trip out.

They positioned Trip right in front of the whip.

Jon watched as the whip was raised.
“Stop!” He said.

Everyone looked at him.

“I’ll do it.” He said simply.

Shran smiled and clapped the Captain on the shoulder.

“I’m glad you changed your mind. Just to be on the safe side, keep the others locked up and out of the way.” Shran ordered his son.

Shron nodded as he threw Trip back in to his cell.

“With pleasure, sir.” He said.

Jon trailed after Shan as they made there way up to the Bridge.

“You are going to make this so much easier captain,” Shran told him.

“How am I going to make this easier?” he asked.

“If you contact them you could be saving countless lives,” Shran said with a smile.

Jon turned to look Shran straight in the eye.

“If I contact them, Earth and Andoria could be involved in a war!” Jon said through clenched teeth.

Shran looked back at Jon.

“You really think I haven’t thought of that?!” he asked.

“Why would you risk starting a war that could cost billions of lives?” Jon asked point blank.

“It’s all for the children.” Shran answered. “It’s all for the children.”
