[quote][b]Wick (Oct 31, 2002 09:46 a.m.):[/b] She didn't stand or move away, but she didn't touch him. [i]It's not too late. It's not too late. I don't have to tell him. It's not too late. Make something up, put this off, wait until I'm ready, until I know how I can do it, but now right [/i]now[i], what a ridiculous idea. Later. Some other later. Don't.[/i] His smile couldn't withstand the look she was giving him, and she swallowed as it faded and disappeared. For a few seconds, she faltered, but in that few seconds she could come up with no reason that could possibly explain her behavior to him, and that inability to come up with a plausible excuse kept her from lying until her resolve won out again. "Back at Command School," she began slowly, "before what happened in the Engineering Bay, I had a meeting with Dominic Creche. He was the one getting the explosives for me. For the Talon. It was in the little room next to the Bay, the one they use as control for the Talons when they go out. It's where I was standing when you walked in and everything went all to hell." She took a slow breath and continued. "We met there a couple of nights before so he could give me the materials, about an hour before lights out. I wanted the next evening to myself to set them up without rushing. He was there when I got there. We went over what he'd brought me. It took a while, which is probably how he planned it." Something on Jor's face shifted, and she hurried on. "We were just finishing inventory when lights out happened. The door locked." Her voice became a little rough, and she grit her teeth. [i]I will not cry. I will not.[/i] "We were locked in all night, or most of it," she said at last, dully, and then looked at him, trying to discover how much more information he needed. "He was gone when I woke up. He must have known the override code." His expression was frighteningly unreadable. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you before," she whispered weakly. "I...couldn't. I'm sorry."[/quote]
