DEEP SPACE: "Necessary Evil" - 09/16/93 - ACT THREE        33.

38   CONTINUED:

					ODO
			Unofficially, I suppose that's true.

					KIRA
			"Unofficially?"  What does that mean?

					ODO
			Gul Dukat asked me to investigate 
			the murder of a Bajoran man named 
			Vaatrik.  I understand you knew him.

					KIRA
				(not trying to lie 
				well)
			Who says I did...

	Odo turns to motion toward Pallra who is standing several 
	yards away, across the thoroughfare...

					ODO
			His widow.

	Kira looks at her, makes eye contact, ice forms along the 
	eye line and after a beat, Pallra turns and marches away...

					KIRA
			I suppose she told you I killed him...

					ODO
			Did you?

					KIRA
				(sincere, in the eyes)
			No.

					ODO
			On the contrary, you were in love 
			with him.

					KIRA
				(beat, curious)
			No.

	Odo's expectations are again shaken.

					ODO
			But he was in love with you.

					KIRA
			No.
