CHAPTER 2
My first thought was, "Oh god, if mum is here that means the navy ship is Hammersley. They're going to kill me, not to mention the school." Over the months of hanging out with Jim and Mum we had come up with code words/phrases to secretly let the other know that the other was in danger. It was just a bit of fun, we never thought we would have to use it. I thought the phrases were a cool thing me and my friends could use, so I had taught them. I lent over to my friend who was sitting next to me and whispered, "Say the phrases that mean we were in trouble and how many there were of us." She looked at me with a weird expression but did it anyway. She was told to be quiet by one of the men. I was listening for Jim's reaction and after a few seconds I got it, "Dammit." I heard him say. The next thing I saw was his head poke out from his hiding spot to see me and my friends. I smiled at him, he rolled his eyes at me and hid again.
A few minutes later there was an explosion. Jim runs over and told us to move, mum grabs the boy and a radio. We start to leave the camp and mum finally notices the group of us. She doesn't recognise me straight away. As we are running to the beach mum radios Hammersley and informs them of our location and that they have Suka (the young boy) and three Australian girls. Hammersley was a little confused as to why three Australians were there. I could tell both of my parents were thinking about me, boy were they in for a shock. We get to the beach and get in a boat as mum is directing us in to the boat she finally realises that she is staring at her 13-year-old daughter who wasn't supposed to be there. She eyes go wide with surprise but doesn't stop what she is doing, there will be time to talk later. The Samaru men were shooting at us and Jim was retiring fire. Hammersley came around the head land and fired onto the beach at the men as Jim jumped into the boat. We travelled out to the safety of Hammersley and waited for Hammersley to stop. While we were waiting for Hammersley my mother turned to me. I Knew that look and it spelled trouble.
