"I'll admit I love the little guy," Jayna said. She moved closer to Logan. "Did you teach him to stalk like a jungle cat? Might be appropriate here."
[NEW]
Logan let out a soft laugh before answering the question. "The only thing that Monkey can stalk is a bowl of dates. If there is a bowl of fruit in front of you, he will sneak up like a ninja and take something. If he's trying to sneak up on a person? Spock might as well do it with a marching band behind him."
"I hope he and his marching band can hold on to her long enough for you to get a lock on them both," she said.
Remy looked over to Jayna, than to Logan, before focusing back on the image Spock was sending on the screen. He closed his eyes and focused his mind, reach it out as far as he could until he reached the small capuchin's. Once he felt it, he took a deep breath and telepathically spoke. "Spock. You have all the support you need, my small friend. Be confident. Jump, damn you. We haven't got all day."
As soon as Spock heard the words, he leaped from his position onto the Caitans back, who hissed and growled. The image on the screen was far too close and it was hard to tell what was going on from all the moving and screeching from the small monkey.
"Go, Logan! Jayna! Help him! See if you can shorten the time we need to get her here!" Remy walked over to a weapons locker and tapped in a code on a small control panel at the side, specifically placed for someone of his height. "I want that feline here. On the double. Don't disappoint." The locker opened as a small step retracted from the bottom. The small officer stepped up and removed a Phaser Rifle, taking a moment to adjust the settings before positioning it in his arm and shutting the locker.
Logan ran back to the console from earlier and tapped on it frantically, doing his best to shorten the time as Remy recommended. He wasn't liking what he was hearing. Spock sounded like he was having some trouble, but what concerned him more was the screeching. They not only sounded like he was struggling, but like he was in pain as well. "Jayna! Hurry up and get over here!" He yelled.
Jayna was calmer than Logan. She followed Logan and helped him boost the signal and establish a transporter lock on the struggling duo. "Almost got them," she announced. "Just a few more seconds..."
It took almost a minute, but finally she had the lock. "Transporting them to the Horus."
Remy took a firm hold of the rifle and aimed it in front of him as he saw the swirling lights from the transporter appear in front of him. Slowly the two began to fade in until both Spock and the Caitian were solid and reformed in the War Room. Remy raised the rifle and yelled out firmly. "Starfleet Intelligence! Don't move!"
As soon as Spock heard the familiar voice he looked up and recognized where he was. Without a moment's notice he leaped off the Caitian and quickly limped across a small shelf before jumping off again into Jayna's arms, cooing as he curled up against her. He had several scratches, one on his arm and another on his cheek. The small capuchin look worse for wear, but he was happy to be safe again.
Kayte let out a hiss as she looked up and noticed Remy standing there with a rifle. Her head quickly jotted around the room, catching a glimpse of the other two and their annoying pet. She let out a growl and quickly moved her hand to her weapon, but was stopped as Remy fired a shot to the wall behind her.
"Do not allow my size to deceive you, Madam. I am a very good shot! Especially, at this range!" Remy shouted as he took a step forward to her. "Remove your weapons and drop them too the floor. This is your only warning. The next shot goes right to you heart."
The Caitian woman narrowed her eyes, easing her hand down to her weapon holster and sliding it slowly out. A smirk began to form on her face.
Logan's instincts kicked in. From the look on her face, and the motions of her hands, he knew she was going to try something. Because of this he took a few steps forward, just in time to see Kayte remove the weapon fully and aim it at Remy. Logan's animal side went into overdrive as he let out his own growl and leaped forward, grabbing her wrist and pulling it upwards so the shot was fired far above Remy's head. The large Caitian grabbed Kayte by the throat and slammed her against the wall, releasing a much louder growl that could only be described as evil and sinister. Slowly he eased his face to Kayte and whispered. "You hurt my friend. I should ripe out your throat, Kitty cat."
"Mister Logan!" Remy yelled as he took a step forward. "Logan! Listen to me! Release her, Now! She is a prisoner!"
Logan eased closer to her and growled again, locking his eyes on her as he gave her throat a slight squeeze before easing up on his grip. Kayte just stared at him, her eyes displayed fear as well as curiosity as she whispered back. "I like you, Handsome. Care for a tumble?"
As soon as she giggled, Logan tightened his grip again and eased closer to her, baring his teeth. "Care for a coffin?" He replied in an angry tone.
"Logan! Release the prisoner! Spock will be fine!" Remy yelled out again, trying to get his friends attention.
Jayna hugged Spock. "I left you some dates in the other room. Good job, my friend."
When Spock jumped into her arms, Jayna cuddled him for several seconds. "Good job, buddy," she told him, kissing him on top of his head. "I put out some dates and nuts for you. Go have your treat. You earned it."
The monkey ran off before Logan launched himself at the female. Fortunately, the timing was perfect. Spock was safely out of the room before the situation went from bad to worse. Unfortunately, being half Vulcan, Jayna heard the other woman's whispered comment to Logan and lost her temper.
