The Injured Party

“Felix,” Baltar rasps in a feeble breath, and a wave of pity and anger washes over Gaeta.

It leaves him numb.

“The cylons, Mister Gaeta. Really, there’s nothing I - we could’ve done.”

His tone, borderline defiant, should conceal the tired defeat in his eyes. The fact that his hands are trembling slightly.

Only it doesn’t.

Felix Gaeta is not a violent man, but on some days he sure would like to shake Gaius Baltar’s skinny shoulders hard enough to bruise; break every wretched bone in his body. Because there’s always something you can do.

“No, sir,” he mumbles. “There’s not.”

end.
