Will Justin be justin time?

OOC – That flashback week sounds like a great idea! In my next post I'm going to explain why Justin is such a spineless dick who is so easily manipulated! But right now...
Who: Justin Pancake and A security constable
Where: Security office
When: During the attack
Sat at opposite ends of the table, the constable was writing a detailed report. Justin shifted awkwardly, thinking about the bomb he'd left in Amber's chair, and how every minute he wasted here, the greater the chance that Amber would sit on it.
"How much longer will this take?" Justin said.
Another man walked in, and whispered something into the constable's ear. He then smiled when he turned to Justin.
"I've just been told that Mr Davie Jones admitted to this crime this morning." He said.
Justin sighed, then stood up. "So I'm free to go?"
"Not yet no. Sit down please." Said the constable, as if he had all the time in the world. "People commit to crimes they didn't commit all the time. We just need to go over every eventuality."
"But I need to... I need to..." Justin said.
"Need to what?"
Justin bit his lip. He couldn't tell him about the bomb, how could he explain anything other than he placed it there but was now having a massive change of heart?
"I... uh... just want to get down to some work." He said. "Busy busy busy."
It was a full hour before the constable let Justin go. He walked out of the office, and broke into a run after he got out of their sight. Straight towards the Drive Room. He imagined in his minds eye getting there and the bomb squad had the area sealed off, or worse, what if he got there too late and saw the burned Captain's office, complete with charred remains of Amber's skeleton spread about the place.
His stomach turned. So far Amber had been nothing but nice to him.
As he got to the Drive Room he was revealed to see the Captain still alive. Although this became the hardest part, how could he explain to her not to sit down without giving himself away?
She approached him with a greasy Spaniard next to her.
"Justin, we just got a call from Davie, he's in the spacebattle outside and says he needs your help."
Justin nodded, but his eyes were on Amber's open door. This was his time to say nothing, but he didn't know what. He just continued nodding.
"This is Alfredo Gomez." Amber explained, pointing to the Spaniard. "He says he escaped from the JMC Frank Sidebottom, and knows it's weaknesses. Take him with you, you two might be able to cause some damage, or at least keep them busy long enough for us to escape."
Justin nodded, and Alfredo started walking towards the flight deck with him. Justin looked back, watching Amber walk towards her office.
OOC – Sorry Amber, but you can't expect to steal the ship this easily can you? :-)
Justin has accepted the promotion, but once again he's just gone along blindly with what someone else has told him to do
