~Excerpt~
Caitlin was a sight for sore eyes. She was beautiful. Her
petite frame was perfectly accented by the curves of her figure. And her brown
eyes and coffee-brown skin was smooth, creamy.
Standing at attention, she did not meet his gaze. Though it
was customary not to do as a sign of military courtesy, he could tell she was
not doing it for that reason. Her gaze was different. Circling her, he tried to
see if he could catch her watching him out of the corner of her eye. In fact,
she appeared to be staring blankly ahead.
Peering directly at her, he spoke in a soft tone. “At ease.”
She relaxed.
“Cate. Can you
hear me?”
“Yes, sir,” she responded mechanically.
Pain pierced his insides. She was definitely not there. Keegan
placed his hands on his hips and hung his head in defeat. The one thing that
was supposed to go right did not. For whatever reason, they had placed her in a
deeper state of mental control than she’d
ever been in. He controlled the hostile emotions brewing with him. Touching her
face gently, he felt her icy skin.
This is unacceptable! Not here. I will not let this happen
here. Not under my command.
“Chief, listen
up,” he said in an authoritative
tone. He knew in this state, it was the only way he could speak to her and
still have her respond.
“Yes, sir.” Her gaze became even more
distant.
Her response fueled his anger. “You
are going to hightail it down to the doc and receive a full examination. Tell
him it is based on my orders. He will know what to do. Is that clear?”
“Yes, sir.”
Knowing that she was under the influence of cryo
neurotransmitters, Keegan figured the only way to combat it was to get someone
to reverse it. They usually wore off once she was away from the stimulus
triggers for a long period of time. But considering her stimulus triggers were
high-ranking officers in uniform and combat situations, being around here meant
she was going to be in a drone zone for a very long time. The last thing he
needed was a zombie on board, especially one in charge of the lives others.
Only the jerks in psyche warfare thought doing this to someone
would be a good idea. As long as he was running the ship, none of that would be
allowed. There weren’t going to be
any super zombies soldiers on board his ship. And he’d rollover in his grave before he let them do it to
his wife.
“After you
come back from the doc, you will report to me, understood?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are there any
questions?”
“No, sir.”
“Dismissed.”
She did an about face before leaving the room. Keegan clasped
his hands behind his back. In the blink of an eye, his joy had turned to
sorrow. Now faced with the responsibility of looking after his wife, he
wondered how could he handle the burden of command and still protect the woman
he loved.
