Star Trek: Deep Space 9

Obsession

By G.Z.Wells

Chapter 1

Dr. Bashir stood in front of a door, he had no idea what he was doing there or where is he, but he had the urge to get in. Suddenly the door open, and in front of him he saw his biggest enemy, Sloan.

“What, are you doing here Sloan?” The doctor asked the man who represents everything he despises.

“This is my office, you won’t find another one like this.” He answered with a grin.

“Just look around you.” He added.

The doctor saw hundreds of reports in the room. He started checking them.

“Activity report on Kronos. Romulan activities. Bajorian activities. What is this Sloan? Where am I?”

Suddenly the room shook, while Sloan laughed.

“Don’t you understand doctor?” he asked him.

“Oh my god. The base of section 31.”

“That’s right and these reports are your way to destroy us.”

The room shook again.

The doctor looked at the reports, but he couldn’t understand what was written except for one name, Robinson.

The doctor was in his room again, sitting on his bad and sweating. It was all a dream.

He looked to his right. He saw Ezri was still sleeping.

For the last six months he had this dream almost every night, he believed that it will pass but lately he begins to loose hope. He got out of bad. He needed something to drink, something strong. As he was drinking he pondered about his dream and the name he saw, Robinson. Six months ago, when O’Brien and he were inside Sloan’s head to find Odo’s cure he saw similar reports and he believes that while scanning these reports he saw that name, Robinson. The doctor accepted the fact that he probably won’t get another chance at Section 31.

“That dream again?” Ezri asked as she got out of bad. She gave him a tender kiss and set in front of him.

“What time is it now?” he asked her.

“04:30, don’t change the subject.”

“Yes.”

“Come back to bad honey.”

“I don’t want to sleep.” He replied.

“Maybe you should meditate a bit to relax.”

“I don’t need meditation.” He’s tone rose.

“I’m trying to help you Julian.” She got angry now.

“I’m sorry Ezri,” he paused.

“I’m just upset, that’s all.”

She set on his laps, hugged him and calmed him down.

“Don’t worry, I’m with you.”

“Ever since I had my chance to destroy section 31 and I didn’t I can’t sleep.”

“I know, I was in your bad most of these nights. Lets go to Quark’s.”

“It’s closed.”

“Not if you know what you’re doing.” She said, smiled and stood up.

She wore her suite very slowly, and like always Julian was hypnotized by it. He wore his suite fast and followed her to the bar.
