Kara set her jaw, biting back an immediate retort. Fine. If the man wasn't even going to try, that was just fine. It was true he had a leg up on her regarding his chances, so if he didn't think he could do it, she wouldn't press. All said and done, it wasn't like she hadn't tried to help him.
The door opened slowly, and Sterns and Foster entered the room. She was glad to see a dark bruise already blooming on the Captain's chin. The pain in her hand was certainly worth that.
Both men sat, Foster carefully keeping his gaze fixed beyond both Kara and Al. To Bingo, he said, "Lieutenant, there are no charges against you at this time, and nothing you say in this room can further incriminate you, so speak freely."
He turned toward Kara, still not looking directly at her. "Miss Thrace, you are being charged with possession of a stolen firearm, attempted grand theft, illegal entry onto a United States military base, assault and battery of an officer. You are not entitled to representation until your status as a citizen of the United States can be verified, but nothing said here today can be used against you in court martial proceedings."
Sterns chimed it gruffly. "Understand? We're just talkin', all right?"
Just talking? Kara wondered. She wondered if the man thought of an actual court martial as a nice way to pass an afternoon.
