Maybe dying, but Malcolm was still sorting through the information he had been told. Star date? What was that? Did he mean the year 2260? Ninth day of the fourth month? The USS Enterprise? As in the aircraft carrier? It had been decommissioned the last Malcolm had heard of it, and this man was not dressed as a sailor.
"Tiberius."
If that was a made up name, whatever agency that had sent this man needed to do a better job. Stripping off a suit coat that probably cost more than the average man made in months, Malcolm crumpled it up to side under Jim's head.
"James? Captain Kirk? Look at me. Stop trying to move, and look at me. I need to see your eyes. Then we can get you a drink."
Calling an ambulance was out of the question. A private doctor? Maybe. His hands rested on either side of Jim's face, trying to hold him and get a look at Jim's eyes. This kid kept trying to get up, and Malcolm was going to end up straddling him to keep him down.
Wouldn't that look wonderful on the front page news if this was a trick of some sort?
