...smile began to rise to her face. They would find their children and they would get through this, together. As they always had, and always would.

Joseph was making rounds around the crowded cargo hold to...
...cheek gently against it. “I’m sorry...sorry I’m so, useless right now.” She whispered. She barely heard his response before sleep took her again.

“Killian.” Kato approached him later evening when there was a quiet moment. “I’ve noticed you’ve been holding your stomach and limping a bit...
...to pick up the Jones now." Killian’s voice echoed over the comms again. That was good, cause Star was pretty sure she was going to need a doctor.
***
Kato hadn’t been this stressed in 20 years. His children in danger his wife maybe too? They were having to pick up and leave just like that...
...we get our kids." Star hung up, closing her eyes as her head continued to pound. "This week can't get any worse. Ugh, I need some painkillers."
***********************************
Mikey rested his head on his hand, his eyes and ears far from focused on the professor and his dull lecture on...
...Dominic...she had to protect them. This monster would not win. We'll find you, Claire. Mommy's coming. She's not going to stop till you're free.
****************************************************************************************************
Kato held Anna as she wept and blamed herself...
...had done this was sick and perverted. He looked over at his wife who was taking a picture. She'd been right. As always. This was about revenge.
****
Star looked up at Killian as he lifted her chin, promising that they'd find her. No matter what. Even if he had to become a monster again. She...
Star finished wiping the last of her tears by the time Killian and the children arrived in the gardens and began setting out a picnic. Zach came over and hugged her, not bothering to mention her red eyes or nose. He knew how painful this was on his parents. He worried for Claire as well. They...
...broke and she held onto the wall for support as she sobbed, pleading with any divine entity that might be listening to bring her daughter home.
***
Kato came up behind Anna as she worked tirelessly to track down Killian's and Star's daughter. He couldn't imagine how hard it must be for...
Star stood with a start at the mention of Claire missing. "Do you have any leads!?" She demanded. It didn't sound like they did. Her memory couldn't help but flash back to the time when Claire had been ripped out her arms on that one planet to be sold to on the black market. Her and Killian had...
...a med-vac! Hurry!"
Star put a finger to Killian's neck praying for a pulse. "Hold on, Killian. You damn stubborn man. Don't you dare die on me."
*************************************************************************************************
Star sat in the hospital waiting room, covered...
...mind but knew that now wasn't the right time. She was grateful for that. Hopefully Claire could get work through this quickly while she was home.
****
As hard as it was saying goodbye to her children at the end of the week, it was also a relief. Star had missed the quiet with just Killian...
...area they could visit, even swim in if they wanted. But Star’s mind was distracted, lost in thought as tried to think of how to cheer up Killian.
***
Star lay down a heated-herbal blanket on the bed before Killian came into the room. She sprinkled some calming oil scents on his pillow then...
Star was trying to have a positive attitude as they met up with Kato and Anna to ride. It was difficult though between being worried sick for her daughter’s safety and running on only a few hours sleep. Killian’s dreams seemed to have come back full force with the reminders on the datapad. It...
...votes won.
"And the winner is house games." Star announced with a grin. "Claire, why don't you and Robert choose something fun for the family?"
******************************************************************
Kato looked down as he nearly slid on an object upon entering the house. "What...
...with you then?"
Killian took a deep breath and set a hand on her pad. "That's what happens to be up. I don't even know what to say to her."
"Oh, shi* Killian. You wern't supposed to see that." She sighs. "I talked with her for a while this morning. She just needs time to process."
"I...
..."We have to be to deal with the mortality of life everyday." He patted Killian's arm. "Well, why don't we talk about something more pleasant now."
*****
Star's heart dropped in the pit of her stomach when she got Anna's message. Claire had dug up information and vids on the games. She wanted...
...many of the symptoms of old age even though she was barely 50. "How are you feeling? Kato find anything to help with the aches and pains?"
******************************************
Kato chuckled at Killian's powerful hug nearly knocking the wind out of him. "Oh yes. Time to time. Not nearly...
"I'm sorry, Claire. Your father is just trying to protect you." Star said in response to Claire bemoaning Killian's interrogation of her new boyfriend.
Anna was standing in the kitchen with Star. She couldn't help smiling. "Well its not all bad. What if you finally get a guy that's willing to...
Star smiled gently and patted Killian's arm. "Now, now, Killian. At least give the boy a chance to say 'hi' before you start terrorizing him." She chuckled. "Robert, its a pleasure to meet you. My daughter has refined taste so you must be pretty special for her to choose you. We look forward to...
...as he showed her the home and told her of his plans. "I think, I love it." She kissed him. "As long as I'm with you and the kids, I'm happy."
