Alina returned to the Lieutenant once again after she had completed her checks on the shuttles and placed the reports with the Bay Manager. "Alright ma'am. Do you remember where you had been in the bay? Perhaps we can retrace your steps." Alina stated placing her hands behind her back as she awaited the Lieutenant's response.
"Yes. I started over there," Jayna said, indicating the far end of the shuttle bay. "I was looking for some contraband and ended up over there," she pointed to another part of the shuttle bay. "I was kind of staying out of sight and looking around, so it could be anywhere."
"Contraband?!" Alina replied shockingly doing her best not to alert the rest of the shuttle bay. "We haven't had many visitors as of late...." she leaned in towards Jayna. "Are you saying someone is doing something illegal on board?"
Jayna looked around. "They're bringing in illegal goods," she said conspiratorially. "Security gave the job of finding them to us. I was following a lead, set my bag down, and when I went to get it, it was gone. I really hope it was turned in here. I don't want to have to explain to my boss how I lost it."
Damion walked down the corridor, two security officers behind him. As he turned the corner he saw Logan and Remy standing there in front of the door. "Batiste. Go back to the bridge you crawled out from under. This is a security matter."
"With all due respect, Mister Wolfe. This is more than a security matter. It's an Intel matter. And since, your officer used my computer to grain this information, that means I am involved as well. Besides, I think we can do this together and still get the required result." Remy added with a smirk.
Damion let out a groan as he crossed his arms over his chest and looked down at the Intel Chief. "I don't trust you. The moment you get in there, there is no telling what you or your overgrown pussy cat is gonna do."
"Mister Wolfe." Remy said firmly. "Both myself and Logan are professionals. So far, everything we done, has been by the book. Completely by regulations as well as giving you lead on this case. The least you can do is let us see it to the end." He paused for a moment, clearing his throat as he placed his hands behind his back and looked toward the shuttle bay doors. "Besides. Two members of my team are already insides." He smirked a bit.
Damion ran his hand through his hair and closed his eyes, trying to contain his frustration. "Batiste. If you so much as do anything to both this whole thing up I will see to it that you and your merry men are throw off this ship so fast that you'll be treated for whiplash. Do you got me?"
"Absolutely, Mister Wolfe. I want to see this Petty Officer see justice as much as you do. Probably more so." Remy replied, quickly gesturing his hand toward the doors. "So please. After you, Lieutenant."
Damion shook his head, but soon allowed the frustration to pass as he tapped on his combadge and looked toward the door. "Wolfe to Shirol. Unlock the door to the Shuttle Bay. Once we are inside lock it behind us. While you're at it, put up a transport blocker. We don't want this person getting away."
"Got it, Wolfe. Go get the bad guy." Tallas replied happily.
As the shuttle bay doors opened Wolfe walked in. Soon followed by Remy, Logan, and the two security officers. The doors closed quickly behind them as Damion continued to walk towards Jayna and the Petty Officer. "Petty Officer Melanson. Stay right where you are." He said firmly. "Wait right there and make so sudden movements."
Alina was startled for a moment before realizing that it was the security chief speaking to her. She instantly surmised he must be coming to look for the lost bag as well. "It's okay sir, I'm help Lieutenant Jayna." she replied looking to Jayna to clear the situation.
"Lieutenant Batiste," Jayna said, focusing her attention on Remy. "I lost the bag you gave me yesterday. The green and silver one. I'm sorry. I set it down for just a minute... She's going to help me look and see if it was turned in."
While she spoke to Remy, she sent a second message to Logan, not wanting to speak out loud because she was sure whoever was really behind this was watching. "Glad you made it, Tiger. I've been stalling for time and scanning her public mind. She's not the one. I don't know why we were led to her, but she's not responsible for what happened."
Jayna focused her telepathy on Damion. "Wolfe, I think we should take her in for questioning anyway. Someone wants us to find her. If we don't, she might get hurt. We can tell her what's going on when we get her someplace safer. I'll go to the Horus and see if I can find out how your girl was led to the wrong data."
"Petty Officer Melanson, I know you didn't take my bag, but since it is missing, perhaps you can explain to Lieutenants Wolfe and Batiste if you've seen any suspicious activity around here." She slipped her arm through the Petty Officer's and began to lead her out of the shuttle bay. "And while you do that, I'm going to go look for my bag somewhere eise."
Jayna kept a firm grip on the woman, not wanting to cause a scene in public, at the same time not wanting to let the real villain in all this get away. Once they were near security, Jayna excused herself and headed for the Horus and Tallas to find out what was really going on.
