Oh man! Finally! I was on the edge of my seat almost the entire time and loving every word! The idea for the bomb was perfect and I bet Odo feels like an arse for leaving Julian in someone else's care to investigate the cause of the explosion.

Especially if Julian is not okay. He hit that table so hard and like any good NFL quarterback ... too many concussions adles your brains - and your career. I can't imagine the look on his face when he wakes up. *eye roll* "Odo, you're Chief of Security how?

No, I love Odo and he does the best he can. Except of course when both Garak and Sloan (more than once, might I add) were able to get into Bashir's quarters so easily to watch him sleep. I mean ... come on, man!

Kudos to you and big hugs too! I loved this and can't thank you enough! I am SO looking forward to the next chapter!
