THE BOYS CLUB [Part 5]

by ALM_Voyager

Kathryn hadn't meant to drop and break the picture frame. One moment she had been turning it over in her hand, the next moment she had felt the room spin when she saw her image on display behind the 5 x 7 glass.

"Oh shit," she muttered at the broken glass. Then she almost giggled. "He's got it bad," she looked at the replicated pictured that went with the summary of her position as Voyager's Captain in the crew roster.

Clearing her mind, she took the jockstrap out of her pocket she held it up in front of her, grinning like the Ferangi who got the Gold.

Chakotay wanted to turn Kathryn over his knee and spank her for breaking his favorite frame. But then, it occurred to him that there were better ways for him to get his revenge -- holocamera and all. He had to stifle a horrified holler as he saw her hold his jockstrap, which had a happy face drawn on the cup, up in front of her face. "Oh now you *really* asked for it. No one messes with a man's cup," he muttered and moved forward no longer hiding his presence.

Kathryn saw Chakotay rushing forward at the speed of light, camera in hand, and she only had time for her eyes to grow wide, like a deer in headlights, and a startled gasp to escape her lips before she was blinded by a bright white flash.

"No!" She hollered and realized that he had taken a picture of her -- jockstrap held up in front of her -- happy face and all-- meaning, she was, quite literally, caught in the act.

"You're doomed Kathryn. When this picture gets in circulation . . ." he started--.

"You CAN'T, Chakotay!" she whined.

"Yes I can and I will, unless--" he started.

"Unless?" Kathryn folded her arms, glaring. "Spit it out, Commander," She threw the jockstrap at him.

"Unless you'd care to join our harem?" he smirked.

"I'd rather be assimilated--" Kathryn put up her fists in a fighting position.

"I don't believe you'd punch me Kathryn," he said.

"Try me," she dared. "I look terrible in harem pants."

"Don't make this harder than it--" he started forward and couldn't believe it when a small fist snuck out and hit him square in the nose.

"Ow," he stated.

"Ops," Kathryn stated before she had to back up in a rush as Chakotay moved towards her with renewed determination.

Kadi, Caffey, B'Elanna and Raven paced the small room where they all were supposed to reconvene. They were missing a member.

"She should be back by now!" B'Elanna looked at the rest of the girls.

"Something went wrong," Caffey sighed.

"If anything happened to Kathryn--" Raven was angry but near tears only to feel slightly better when Kadi hugged her softly.

"I say we go find out--" B'Elanna started but was interrupted by the computer's beep.

"Message delivery for Girls Club," it announced, startling them into silence.

"Go get it!! Go on!" Caffey, Kadi and Raven said, frantically urging B'Elanna to retrieve the message. They watched as the Klingon-Woman rushed forward towards a small monitor.

"It's from them," B'Elanna stated, frowning, and pressed the con for the vocal message to be played.

"Hi Ladies . . . We have Kathryn Janeway," Chakotay's satisfied voice filled the room. "Surrender the girls club to our Starfleet Harem and we'll be merciful."

"Starfleet Harem?" Raven asked aloud, confused.

"Oh no, not THAT again!" Kadi stated.

"What?" Caffey, Raven and B'Elanna said at once.

"A while back I stumbled upon the guys fooling with a Holo-program in which all of the female crew members were incorporated into the Holodeck character bank as Harem girls. That's probably where they're holding the Captain."

"Poor Kathryn!" Caffey exclaimed.

"Poor Kathryn?!? POOR ME!" Raven exclaimed and grabbed Caffey by the arms frantically shaking her, "Do you REALIZE what she's probably WEARING right now!?!?! Better yet, what she's NOT WEARING!!"

"Here we go again," Kadi muttered.
