Captain Storm, USS Lafayette, Captains' Office

Storm leans back in the chair thinking.  I wonder why the heck SFI would want anything to do with Mortimer.  Could it be a problem with Romuluns or did the little stiff neck insult a higher ranking officer.  

Storm motions towards the screen on the desk "Computer,  get me the head of SFI at 336 on the com.  Tell him that Captain Storm  of the Lafayette wishes to talk with him concerning one of my crew."

In a small office with a box for a desk the com panel blinks.

Commander Tnega Captain Storm of the Lafayette wishes to speak with you

" Ah sir I thought Releigh was Captain of the Lafayette" Lt Allirog mumbles to his commander.

"My god your in intelligence Lt. you should know that Releigh just recently was kidnaped by the Ferengi.  That makes Storm the next Captain.  That could pose a problem for us if he's  anything like his dad he won't let up if he smells something.  My guess is knows we grabbed one of his crew.  Patch him through and don't say a word Lt."

"Yes sir commander" 

Storm gets a reply and the face of Commander Tnega comes on the vid screen.  "Yes Ist Officer or should I say Captain Storm.  Congradualtions on your recent promotion lets hope it stays that way."  Storm watches as Tnega squints his eyes.

"Well thankyou Commander I just wish it was under different circumstances but you take what you can get these days."  Storm thinks how to word his next coment and decides to try the direct approach. "Commander I'll be blunt I have heard that one of my officers was taken by your men I want to know what you want with him, what he has done and to speak with him immediately"

"Well I guess you were quite blunt there and so I'll be blunt with you.  I don't know what you are talking about and I suggest you look some where else and keep your nose out of our business if you value your new position.  Do you catch my drift."

Storm moves his face towards the monitor locks his eyes with a steel gaze and says."When it comes to the well being of one of my Officers it is my concern.  Know this now Tnega I'm on to you and when I'm through with you you'll be breathing out your backside.  Storm out."  Storm leans back in his chair furious.  Now where the heck do I go from here.

The screen goes blank in front of Tnega."Well Lt I guess the man does have his fathers' spunk"
