Hide and Seek - Part One

An alarm rang somewhere in the midst of the clothing that could be found lying on Chris Harris' floor at 5:30am. He grunted irritably as he sat up, glaring with wonky vision at the floor from which the sound had come. "Lights" he murmerred as he stood up, pulling on his uniform back to front. After regaining the concious state that he lost during his sleep, having pulled his uniform on the correct way around, attaching his GunBlade to he waist, the computer started bleeping at him.
"Smeg off!!" he shouted walking into the kitchen and pouring himself a cup of coffee. Walking back out with the cup of coffee, he saw his step-daughter Melissa appear on the screen.
 
"Ah, there you are, Dad!" she said, greeting her father cheerily, being responded to with a nod and small wave of Chris' hand. 
"This better be good, 'lissa. I have a hard days work of doing sweet FA to be getting on with!" he said hurriedly.
 
"You're needed. Callum escaped."
 
"You are kidding me, right?" he choked, spilling coffee all down his front.
 
She shook her head.
 
"How in the name of god did he escape. Firstly, now here's a fact sweetheart, a coma patient does NOT get up in the middle of the night for a pee. Secondly, it was Keto's watch last night! He's too crazy for anybody but the pink tree to be stupid enough to run amok in the medi-bay, let alone Callum!" he ranted as she stood there watching him incessantly shaking as he cursed Callum and Keto.

 
"We reckon he woke up...." muttered Melissa.
 
"You don't smegging say!" said Chris, angrily. "Do me a favour, search the medi-bay, make sure he isn't hidden in amongst Keto's vast array of worthless ointments before I do anything. If you find him, jab 'im one with a needly and let me know. I'll be in my security office." he added irritably, "Chris out" he said , punching the button to switch off the monitor.

 
He slammed the door as he left his quarters, his feet carrying him to the destination of the security office.
 
"Where are you, you little little twat" said Chris, searching the CCTV logs for outside the medi-bay. "Ah-ha! I've got you" he said as he saw a small figure that vaguely resembled Callum in all the right places, beer gut, sideburns and a tosh that'd make Hitler look straight, dashing away from the medi-bay and knocking on the door to someone's quarters, before being dragged in by a long, feminine arm.

 
"That's odd" Chris mused, "I thought Seymour was on the planet..." he said to himself. Getting up quickly and following the familiar path to the medi-bay, he realised that he had not checked which door callum had entered. He therefore started knocking on all the doors, along from the medi-bay.

Finally, upon reaching the fourth door he read 'Melissa Stratum' on the door plaque, neglecting to read the other name, he knocked on the door, knowing that CK was as likely to be in a girls room than anywhere else on the ship.
