       DEEP SPACE: "The Abandoned" - REV. 09/01/94 - ACT FIVE       55.
                           ACT FIVE                             

	FADE IN:

38   INT. COMMANDER'S OFFICE

	Continuous from Act Four.  Sisko stands very still, trying 
	not to provoke the boy in any way.

					SISKO
			What do you want?

					TEENAGER
			A runabout.

					SISKO
			Where do you want to go?

					TEENAGER
			That's not your concern.

					ODO
			Listen to me... this isn't the way 
			to --

	The Boy answers without ever taking his eyes off Sisko.

					TEENAGER
			I know what I'm doing.  I'm leaving 
			this place and you're going with me.  
			You don't belong here any more than 
			I do.

	Odo thinks for a quick beat.

					ODO
			All right.

	Sisko gives Odo a sharp look... and the two men exchange a 
	short silent moment where Odo wants Sisko to trust him and 
	Sisko ultimately decides to and indicates it with a short 
	nod.

					ODO
				(continuing, to 
				Teenager)
			It won't be necessary to hurt anyone.  
			Commander Sisko will see to it that 
			no one interferes with us.

					TEENAGER
				(to Sisko)
			If they do... I'll kill them.
