Disclaimer. I don't own Sea Patrol.

I have altered the time lines a little bit for when Mike and Kate met. Everything else is pretty much the same.

This is my first story. None of the crew know about Renee but Renee knows them from photos and stories form her parents.

Prologue

My name is Renee I am 13 years old and I am the only child to two navy officers. My parents are currently serving on a Patrol boat stationed out of Cairns naval base. I live with my father's parents while they are out on patrol. When I was 8 years old my grandparents took me to the doctor because I was having mood swings and would become withdrawn sometimes. The Doctors told my grandparents it was anxiety probably stemming my parents being out at sea all the time and the fact that they tend to always come home hurt in some way. I would get anxious while they were out at sea and when they came home I would always cuddle with them. We learned early on in my treatment of anxiety that dad was my go to when I was having an anxiety. I Could fully relax with him as he would lift me into his arms and I could let my whole body relax and fall asleep generally. From the ages of 8 to 10 there were a lot of emails passed between myself and dad to do with anxiety and what I was feeling, he would always talk me through what was happening and calm me down.

CHAPTER 1

In year 8 at school we go on a school camping trip on some islands at the top of Australia. My Grandparents signed the permission slip as mum and dad were out at sea. One of them was the Samaru Islands. We went on a tourist boat to see the islands. On the day that we went to the Samaru Islands there was an evacuation put in place after a few hours of us being there. The Local Police told us we needed to leave on the vessel that we came on. The problem being that the tourist boat had left and wasn't due until the next morning as we were supposed to spend the night there. The police told us we would have to go down to the beach and Leave on the Australian Navy Ship that had arrived to help with the evacuation.

On the way to the beach myself and two of my friends got separated from our group. We were taken by a group of men with weapons that decided they would us as hostages against the navy because we were Australian. We were led to a clearing in the bush that appeared to be a camp, we were told to sit and be quiet. I could hear a young boy saying, "I don't know, I just found it". Then the sound of someone being hit. Out of the corner of my eye I saw two familiar figures. It was mum and her boyfriend Jim Roth.
