"find out, who are they now?" Mike said to Alisha.

"Google us! what the Hell, is she on? " looking at Sasha while she smiled at him knowing that he is not enjoying this.

five minutes later...

"Dr. how can we help you? what do you want?"

"will first, stop moving we are running low on full and, there is a woman on your boat I need to talk to her!"

"boat! where the Hell, does she live? God,"

"we will slow down but, will not be stopping. like to share the women's name?"

"her name is Sasha...blue eyes, tall and, I really don't know much about her" stopping for a second then she asked him "do you know her?"

Mike and Tom, looking at Sasha wondering if she knew her. Sasha looks back at them answering their silent question "I don't know who she is! "shrugging her shoulders.

"are you sure? " Mike asked looking puzzled by all of this.

"yes, I am. let me talk to her I might..." Tom interrupts her which annoyed her "no if you are a target you expose yourself and everyone, else on this ship"

"what do I say to her?" Mike asked stopping any further argument knowing Sasha won't settle for Tom bossing her around.

"ask her what is she want with her?" Tom told him ignoring Sasha's look.

"Doc. what is it exactly, you want with her?"

"it's personal sir, I don't think she'll appreciate broadcasting this...please sir I have searched for here since the pandemic hit. Sir, I really, really need to talk to her"

it becomes silent on the bridge, then Sasha broke the silence "I'll talk to her" looking at Tom to back off.

"this is Sasha Cooper"

"Cooper?! what... the Hell,?" looking at Travis "ask here if it's her married name?"

"Ma'am, is this your married name?"

uncomfortable look on Sasha's face "yes it is, what do you want?" "what is your last name Ma'am? before marriage!"

"this is ridiculous, I'll end this..." Mike is losing his patience.

"wait, Mike!" Sasha stopped him wanting to know where is this going.

Tom looking at Sasha knowing that she's "onto" something.

Sasha becomes nervous and swished to the headphones so no one else can hear what is it that the Doc. want's!

"it's Anderson. now, tell me what do you want? " Sasha answering in a firm tone.

"isn't she supposed to be a Naval Intelligence officer? " in a sarcastic tone.

"play nice, Jo."

"your father left you something. he made me promise that I'll find you and give it to you...'now lets cut the crap' come and get it. I am losing my patience here" it's not about her being rude, she is just tired of all this she had looked for Sasha for four years and it drained her.

"Jo stop. be nice! " knowing she is losing it.

"to Hell, with been nice, have been looking for her four years I want this to be over!"

"God, it's the 'taxi drive' Jo, hang in there" Travis trying to help her relax.

"I don't want it. you can throw it into the sea" Sasha got mad in an instant. she throws the headphones and left the bridge.

"great, all those years and she doesn't want this shit. fucking hate both of them" Johanna hitting a brick wall with all this and cursing her self for promising Sasha's dad to find her.

"it's okay, Jo, you kept your promise" trying to keep her calm.

" Sasha, what is it? " Mike puzzled off of what just happened and why Sasha, is so God, damn mad!

Tom picked up the Headphones and asked the Doc. what did she tell her?

"I said that her father, MY father! left her something with me, and by the look of it she doesn't want it... she asked me to throw it into the sea, so, should I?"

"No, we'll send a team to get it"

"good" Johanna relieved that she's finally kept her promise. "we give them the box and hopefully we return the yacht before he finds us,"

5 minutes later...

" Jo, they are here!" terrified Travis pointing at 2 boats approaching them.

"shit, shit" "Nathan James, we might need your help" Johanna knew that they are in deep trouble.

"Sir, two fast boats approaching the yacht" a sailor tilling the captain.

"who are they?" asking Johanna.

"will it's hard to explain, they may own the yacht and we borrowed it "

"you mean stole it!..." Mike connecting with the team that he send to get the package. "alright, cobra team help them out and try not to kill anyone, "

"copy that sir"

on the yacht...

"where is the package," Danny asked them the minute he is on the yacht.

"you got to help us" fear is obvious in her voice. "package now!" she handed him a mid-size old vintage box.

"Okay, gentlemen, what is going on?" looking at the punch of huge men who just boarded the yacht.

angry European man yelling at them "who are you?"

"we are the U. " Danny answering the man's question in a proud tone, not lowering his handgun.

"and what is it that the U. wants with me!" crossing his arms front of his chest.

"nothing, you are the one how boarded the yacht uninvited!"

"bad mistake Danny!" Johanna murmuring to Travis who was holding his gun that Wolf handed back to him.

the man went nuts "are telling me that I NEED a permission to board my yacht?"

"no sir you don't... "Danny looking at Jo and Travis with a disappointed look and he was right they should have told him who the man was or at least told him he owns the yacht.

"then get the hell off my yacht and you two I know what to do with you. off my yacht now " loud as thunder.

"he means that he'll kill us maybe feed us to the sharks" telling Danny and the rest of the Cobra team.

Danny "captain, I can't leave them behind he'll kill them! sir,"

"Dammit, do what you have to do, over"

"Alright, Doc. looks like my captain needs you to help us with something"

"sure blessed to help" Johanna, playing along holding her breath while moving to get off the yacht.

"where the hell do you think you're going? " the angry man stepping front of her and Travis moves in close to her still pointing his gun at the man.

"Sir, we don't want any trouble so, let's calm down, you and your buddies here might think twice before..." Danny points at the ship "it is very big and what a shame to sink such a beauty like this"

the man backs off and lets them go "you will be sorry Doc." with a closed-lip smile, filled with evil.

"he is an ugly human being and the only thing likable about him is his accent" Johanna relieved that she and her friend got out of his grip *at least for now*. "you should have asked him out then! " Travis laughing and barely believing that they made it out, 'alive'.

"no, thank you I already have you!" smiling and leaning her head on his shoulder. "you keep this up and I'll take you to my bed" in a playful tone." keep dreaming handsome" squeezing his cheeks. "don't" shaking his head out of her grip.

"settle down you two we just saved your ass and you are flirting, unbelievable" shaking his head in shock of their behavior.

"who's flirting? us? " Johanna's laughing at his comment "honey me&him are not together! 'just friends' "

"I don't care now, shut up" Danny is getting little Impatient.

"wow, to Hell, with 'the first impressions' " Johanna looking at Travis with an amused look.

on the James...

"I am the captain of this SHIP" In stressed letters "welcome aboard let me know if you need anything" Mike greeting them. "Green, lock them up till we find out what is in that box."

" yes, sir" Danny takes them to their room's and puts a couple of guards at their doors.

meanwhile...

"Sasha, are you okay?" Tom knocks on her door but he didn't wait for her to answer he walked in right away.

"if God, hates me this much why am I not dead yet? what is it that I did cost me this horrible life I am living since I was a child" exhaling heavily.

"don't say that Sasha... that's not true" Tom's heart twisted after hearing her words.

"yeah, alright let's see" in a challenging tone. "at the age of 4 my dad abandoned me, the age of 13 my mom married another guy how hated me, at the age of 23 I broke up with my first true love, at 35 I lost my husband, mom, and apparently my father, at 36 when I thought I am getting somewhere, with my true love again he... well, you were there. and after that ANOTHER piece of shit guy betrayed me... so Tom, tell me am I lucky? cause right now I don't want to live this life anymore. " broking, sad and hurt sitting on her bed hiding her face with her hands.

Sasha reached her breaking point it's too much for anyone, even the mighty Sasha Copper couldn't take it. Tom, didn't know what to say to her it broke his heart to see her broken like that.

"you never told me about your dad? " all he could say at that moment.

"is that the only thing you heard? " shaking her head in disbelief "he left so why bother keeping him in my life 'he isn't worth it' "

"your sister had nothing to do with what your dad did..." Tom tries to help her to look at 'the full half of the glass' kneeling front of her "this is might be your chance of having a family Sasha."

he was right Sasha lost every member of her family and yet there is this girl who happened to be her half-sister and in a way, that girl needs Sasha as much as Sasha needs her. they both in a desperate need of a family 'to belong' so to speak.

"I don't know her and judging by her tone she doesn't want anything to do with me either! " swallowing hard to keep her voice settle and not to break in front of Tom.

"those can be fixed, Sasha... I am right here with you... if you let me" lifting her head with his index holden her gaze "will you please, let me be here for you and you can go back hating me after we see this through!" genuinely asking hoping shell' let him be there for her.

'ever the gentleman'.

she didn't say anything she knows how much she needs him and she knows he won't leave her in this mess alone.

"is that okay with you? I won't bother you I'll just be there when you need me and this has nothing to do with us I promise. just as a friend Sasha" noticing she is not okay with all of this especially his suggestion then he adds "just to see this through Sasha," she wiped her tears and held his hands to help her get up she didn't agree to any of what he side but she knew him better to know that he won't leave her side even if she refuse his suggestion so she let go. she was too tired to argue with him at that moment.

knock on her door Mike had brought the box to Sasha's room "we checked it's safe to open it"

"are you okay?" Mike asked her after seeing her red eyes.

"yes, I am fine. thank you, Mike," looking briefly at Tom "did she left?"

"no, they are on board!... long story I'll tell all about it later. I'll leave you to it" pointing at the box.

"thank you, Mike" smiling at her friend.

"you want me to stay while you open it?" after seeing her eyes filled with tears. he was not sure what would she say at that moment. She didn't say a word looking at him standing next to her. there is no way in this world he would leave her side looking like that so broking and fragile. not after what he did sixteen months ago.

2 hours later...

Tom sitting on the bed holding her while she was crying her heart out. he put his arm around her shoulders holding her tight letting her know that he is right there and he is not going anywhere.

"I hate him, Tom, I hated him all my life and now... why am I crying him like this! "

holding her head to face him "because your heart is whiter than the snow and bigger than this world, you don't hate him. you are incapable of hate"

"if he knows this much about me why didn't he... I don't know... talk to me! I mean, he was at my high school graduation. he had pictures of me in the academy, Tom, why didn't he tried anything if he cared this much! "

" I don't know Sasha, but, what I know, that this is your chance to know him, to know what kind of man he was. "

" I know exactly what kind he was... the kind who abandoned his daughter" stands up and puts the box on the desk.

"I'll go to see her, to see what is she looks like."

"give her a chance. it's not her fault her dad is a bastard"

" I know" both walking out.

"Tom, thank you"

"always" not looking at each other.

"what do I say to her Tom,? " she was nervous she never had a sibling plus she was a mess at that time and she had no idea how to handle this situation. "you'll figure it out."

standing front of Johanna's room "I can't do this, not now. " the naval intelligence officer never walked into something not prepared "I need time!" and with that, she was gone Tom, didn't want to push her further she's already reached her limits.

five hours later...

Sasha standing at the dick gathering her thoughts when Mike stood next to her she exhaled in relief he wasn't Tom.

"are you okay Sasha?" it's all he could ask not knowing what else he could do to help her or say.

"Honestly, I don't know. I am trying to figure out how to deal with her, what do I say to her! "

"just go sit with her and you'll figure it out" Mike reassured her.

Maik and Tom telling her the same thing that she is more than capable to deal with whatever comes in her way.

after all, she is her sister and with family pond, it's easy to find a connection.

"you'll figure it out" echoing in her head while she walks to her sister room and on her way she bombs into Tom in the B-way "hay, was on my way to check on you? "

"I am going to see Johanna. mmm, I don't know if you... maybe" she was a bit relieved he was there she didn't want to face her sister alone.

"I am coming with you I what to met her too" standing real close to her, " I told you right here whenever you need me" standing at the door Tom give her a minute to regroup and they walked in Tom holding the door for her.

"you have his eyes!" Johanna said. she didn't expect her to look like her dad that much.

"I can say the same about you " Sasha reply was a bit lifeless.

she didn't care about her dad and she only remembered him from pictures her mom had of her when she was a little girl.

"to be clear, I don't want you in my life and I never knew you exist till he was on his deathbed... so with that being said where is Travis? " and why are we being held? did we do something wrong? "
