a/n I don't own sea patrol only Hannah Flynn.

It had been 2 years since the death of mum, it had been 2 years since a part of my dad died with her. It had been 2 years since my dad had even looked at a women. His heart broke when he got a call from the feds about what happened all they knew was that she had been murdered. My dad I swear will never be the same. I will always remember the throat ripping debates about this nonsense and then they would always trip and fall back in love again, I remember the noises that use to come from their bedroom at night when they thought I was sound asleep. When my mum was alive my dad glowed now he is a dull person. My dad loves me and is always there but he is not the same.

Today we are off to Hawaii we have gone somewhere every year since the death of one of dads crewman Swain I have met his wife and daughter Sally and her 20 year old daughter Chloe who joined the Navy just recently and is serving on HMAS Towoomba like the rest of the past Hamersley crew they were able to get 3 weeks of shore leave to come to Hawaii with us. I am very close with the crew they are like my older family. I am very, very close to Dutchy I have known the crew since the day I was born 13 years ago.

'' Dad you ready to go?" I ask through the house and all I hear was the faintest reply, I run upstairs to his and mums room I walk in I can still smell her shampoo as if she was standing right beside me I walk over to wear my dad was in the massive room and take the picture from him. "Dad that's enough we have to go!" I say "Hannah I don't want to go." "dad you have to go." With that I put the photo were he keeps it pull him up out of the chair and we make our way downstairs suitcases in hand and out to the car waiting for us in the drive.

We arrive at the airport some two hours later, dad walks over to the check in counter and we take our tickets I look at them. We make our way throught the massive customs queue and into the gate with barely anytime to spare.

We bored the plane and sit down in the massive business class seats. Dad leans over and gives me a kiss on the head I smile I hope the crew can really cheer him up.
