      ' I love you and I'll always love you B'Elanna.  I want to be with
you forever and ever.  I want to be with you, spend my whole life with
you.  Why do you find that hard to believe?'
 B'Elanna Torres walked through the city of Komor, just behind Harry
Kim.  She could not believe that those were the last words Tom said to
her, right before her away mission.  B'Elanna hated herself for what she
said back.
 ' Tom, I don't know if I'm ready for this.  It seems so fast!  Can we
talk about this later?'
 Damn it B'Elanna!  She said to herself.  How could you do that to him?
After what he said…
 "Hey Maquis!  Are you with me?"  Harry's voice interrupted her thought.
 "Hmmm?  Sorry Harry, I'm not with it today."
 "I was asking what you think of the Hemwad."
 " They are interesting people.  Just, I don't know. Something about
them worry me."
 What left B'Elanna with the unsettling feeling was that the race called
Hemwad knew lots of information about Humans. It would not have been that
bad if they heard it from a different race, but the Hemwad only had very
little contact with other races.
 "Lieutenant Torres, Ensign Kim, please come with me." Said Laruh; he
was their host.  "There is something you need to know."
 "And that would be what?" Torres asked, with a touch of anger in her
voice.  She was getting sick of these games.
"Your ship must be wondering why we know about humans," Laruh started.
He was about 6'5 (normal for a Hemwad.), with dark blue hair and black
eyes.  His skin was a light brown.  "Well, a year ago we found a human
named Nolan Hunter…"
 "Nolan Hunter?  Brown hair, dark, green eyes? About six feet high…"
 Laruh gave B'Elanna a puzzled look.  "Six what?"
 B'Elanna lifted her hand up.  "About this high."
 "That does sound about right.  We found him drifting through our
space.  When we found him, he was barely alive.  Lieutenant Torres, may
I ask how you know him?"
 Harry was starting at her, encouraging her to tell.  "I knew him from
the Maquis. He was a friend."  B'Elanna answered with a lie.
 "Well," Laruh continued.  "The Hemwad government believed that he
should tell you his story.  Plus I do think he would like to see some
people he knows." He looked right at Torres. "Beam him to your ship
whenever.  He knows that some one will be getting him."  Then Laruh
walked away.
 "Do you want to go get Nolan and I'll go back to Voyager and give a
report?"  Kim asked with no emotion.
 "No." B'Elanna said coldly.
 "No?"
  "That's what I said." B'Elanna snapped.  "Harry go get Mr. Hunter,
I'll go talk to the Captain."
 Kim nodded and walked off.  B'Elanna stood there, she felt like her
world was going to come down on her.  Just because Nolan had entered her
life once more.
