Cindy brought up many good points. Mike was a former Security Chief; he probably has seen more dodges and tricks than anyone. Then an idea came to her: what if there was a medical delay? Jez knew that implants were custom to each individual; chances were excellent that Sickbay wouldn’t have the necessary parts for his Ocular implant, and they had to wait for a supply run from the Bynar sector or something.
“Cindy, I know implants are custom to each individual; chances are excellent that Sickbay wouldn’t have the necessary parts for Mike’s Ocular implant, and we have to wait for a supply run from the Bynar sector or something. Couldn’t you tell him that, or say that he has high cholesterol, or something?” Asked Jez with a hint of worry in her voice.
Jez looked back at Mike and sighed, “Cindy, I don’t have any idea who would wish my parents harm. They were just Archeologists; they never harmed anyone. I know Mike, he’s angry and upset. And when someone is angry and upset, they make mistakes, and when you're chasing murderers, often your last mistake is more often than not fatal, especially if they don’t want to be caught. Oh, don’t get me wrong, Mike is uncanny and clever, for a man, but his Viking Blood runs thick. He says his ancestors were Viking berserkers. Viking berserkers were elite Norse warriors known for fighting with uncontrollable, animalistic rage (berserkergangr), often devoted to Odin. They wore bear or wolf skins, fought without armor, and were considered shock troops feared for their invincibility, often biting shields and howling before combat. I swear, Viking is just another word for stubborn and pig-headed.” Said Jez.
Jez returned her gaze to Cindy. “Cindy, I’ve already lost my parents; I don’t want to lose Mike. If I’m completely honest, I’m not particularly upset. My parents and I weren’t that close. I mean, yes, I’m sad, I’m upset, I’m confused, but growing up, they were more focused on their work than on what I was doing. I was closer to Mike and his wife than I was to my parents. Oh, it’s not that mother and father didn’t care, it's just that their careers distracted them.” Said Jez, her voice sounded a bit strained, like she was fighting back tears. “I want justice for my parents and my friends, but I want to build an iron-clad case against the murderers. I don’t want any chance of them slipping through the cracks.” Added Jez.
