"I hope they get a judicator in port before we're scheduled to leave,"
Chekov said to Kirk. The guards
locked his left hand to the belt, then hesitated over his right as
though unsure whether to remove the sling or not. He wasn't about to
offer them any advice.
"Don't worry," Uhura said gently, "we've got three more weeks
here--somebody's bound to show up before then."
He knew she meant that to be reassuring, but somehow' the concept of
spending three weeks in Sigma One's tiny brig didn't do much for his
morale. He wondered if Sulu could be talked into a judicious jailbreak.
"I'll have you out within an hour." Kirk grinned when they all turned to
look at him, and Chekov recognized the smug gleam in his captain's eye.
"You're a dangerous commodity," Kirk said with no small amount of
relish. "If Max Petersen won't remand you to my custody, I'll just give
him a tour of the Enterprise's shuttle bay." He angled a
mock-threatening look down at his security chief, and his smile widened.
"Then I'll threaten to leave you here when we ship out."
