A/N: I started this story a while back as a reply to a prompt at where_no_woman on livejournal. I thought it would be a good continuation to A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing. I am not sure if I'll ever finish A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing or if I'll just continue to fill in the gaps left by the story by writing around it. I do want to write about the direct aftermath of Scotty's attack on Charlene and the lead up to his being taken off duty to undergo psychiatric treatment with McCoy. I also want to explore how Charlene and Scotty got back together as seen in Golden Bells. This story comes just after A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing in myConstellation's series. It makes heavy references to the TOS episodes A Wolf in the Fold, The Lights of Zetarand The Alternative Factor. Larry Riddle is Charlene's unnamed lab assistant in The Alternative Factor.
