CHAPTER III
BETRAYAL
"Come on, I'll take you back to mine" Dutchy said while helping Bird up
"I have no clothes, can we go back to mine first?" Bird asked
"Alright babe" Dutchy said walking her to his car
"What happens if he still comes for me?" Bird said
"He can't, his got a restraining order against him" Dutchy said while pulling into Birds drive way
Bird nodded her head, and got out of the car and made her way to her front door, she opened her door, and went and got her uniforms, spare clothes and all her necessities and packed her bag
"Ready to go Bird? It's late and we start at 0800 hours" Dutchy said while looking at her photos
"Whose this?" Dutchy said smiling
"It's my brother and I" Bird said placing the frame back down on the table
Dutchy smiled and walked her out the front door. They went to Dutchy's, she slept in his bed while he crashed on the couch, Dutchy waited until Bird was asleep before going to bed himself. The next morning, Dutchy woke up to the smell of bacon and eggs. He rolled over; falling off the couch
"SHIT" Dutchy said
Bird laughed, "How did you sleep?" She asked
"mmmmm. Good thanks, why are you cooking?" Dutchy said while putting on his top
"Because, you need breakfast" Bird said smiling
"You're always cooking" He said
"I know, but you've been taking care of me, so I want to do this" Bird said placing the eggs and bacon onto a plate
"Well, it looks and smells delicious" Dutchy said taking the plate
"We have 2 hours before we have to be at the boat" Bird said looking at her watch
"Sweet, we can relax for a little while" Dutchy said while eating
Bird went and took a seat next to Dutchy
"Why don't you go have a shower, freshen up" Dutchy said
"Uh, Okay" Bird said getting up
"The towels are in the cupboard in the bathroom" Dutchy shouted
"Okay" She shouted back
(…..) The crew arrived on HMAS Hammersely about 7:45am. They went and put their bags in their cabins. The crew were still shocked after what happened to Bird, and were wary of what to say to her.
"Uh. Yeah good" Bird said quietly
"Did it get approved?" Co asked
"Yeah. If you don't mind sir, I'm going to go help Bomber prepare lunch" Bird said
"Sure Bird" CO said smiling
Turning to Dutchy and Kate Mike asked "Don't you think it's a bit early to bring Bird back?"
"I would much rather her here, Captain. At least we know where she is at all times, and that she's safe" Kate said
"Alright Kate" Mike said
Bird walked into the Galley and tied the apron around her waist
"HEY!" Bomber said rushing up to Bird and giving her a hug
"..Hey" Bird said hugging Bomber
"What are you doing here?" Bomber asked
"I didn't get severely hurt, why does everyone keep asking me why I'm here, why wouldn't I?" Bird said angered
"Well. I just didn't think you'd be back so soon" Bomber said handing Bird a box of fruit to unload
"I'm fine, I don't want to be treated different" Bird said unloaded the box
"BIRD TO BRIDGE BIRD TO BRIDGE BIRD TO BRIDGE" Kate said over the P.A system
Bird rushed up onto the Bridge
"What's wrong?" Bird asked
"Nothing, there's a call for you" Charge said handing the phone to Bird
Bird walked out onto the deck and began to speak; Swain was standing at the railings looking out to ocean
"ah. Jessica Bird speaking" Bird said nervously
"Wow. You've got some nerve getting a restraining order on me baby" A familiar voice said
"Jack..You..You. can't be calling me" Bird said anxiously
"No restraining order is going to stop me from seeing you" Jack said in a seductive way
"You can't" Bird started to freak out
Swain looked over and saw Bird startled and freaked out, he started to walk over to her
"Bird. Is everything okay?" He whispered
"You think your safe from your navy boys, don't you?" Jack said
"What's wrong?" Swain asked
"I'll get you" Jack said
"Swain…Swain" Bird said sacredly
"I'm closer than you think" Jack said before hanging up
"Bird, what's wrong?" Swain asked
"Jack..." Bird said throwing the phone onto the ground
"Jack? What do you mean it was Jack….Bird! Was that him on the phone" Swain said
"just leave it" Bird said
"I can't just leave it" Swain said "Come on, we need to get a hold of the police, what else did he say" he added
"JUST LEAVE IT! I can defend myself" Bird said running off. She went and locked her self in her cabin. Resting against the door she began to cry. Swain ran back to the bridge
"Everything alright Swain?" Charge asked
"No. Sir... Jack was on the phone to Bird" Swain said walking towards CO
"What, what do you mean Jack was on the phone" CO asked angered
"I don't know what his said, but she has freaked out again" Swain said
"Where is she?" Dutchy said
"AH sir we have a mayday, I can't quite understand it" RO said
"Put it on speaker" CO said
"Dutchy, I think Bird may have gone to her cabin" Swain said
"Alright, I'm going to see her" Dutchy said
"MAYDAYMAYDAYMAYDAY, THIS IS TURTLEREEF DELTA ALPHA I HAVE BEEN FIRED UPON. MAYDAY" said the distress call
"We are approximately 10 minutes away from you, hold tight" Mike said
Dutchy knocked onto Birds cabin
"Bird? Its me Dutchy. Can I come in?" He asked politely
"Yeah" Bird said quietly "You told me that he wouldn't hurt me again" Bird said upset
"I won't let him hurt you" Dutchy said
"HANDS TO BOARDING STATIONS HANDS TO BOARDING STATIONS HANDS TO BOARDING STATIONS" Kate shouted through the boats speaker
"I'll be back. I want you to go and sit on the bridge with Charge" Dutchy ordered
Bird headed up the bridge and sat quietly amongst Charge, R.O and Mike, they didn't know what to say, they were worried in case they said something offensive.
MEANWHILE ON THE BOARDING PARTY
"Why did you Mayday sir!" Kate asked unimpressed
"Our..uh" Said the master of the boat as he walked out of the wheelhouse
"GET DOWN!" Dutchy yelled
"Dutchy what are you doing?" Kate asked
"MA'AM THAT'S JACK!" Dutchy shouted
"Jack?" Kate shouted
"GET DOWN BEFORE I SHOOT" Dutchy shouted
Jack pulled out a gun of his own
"HIS GOT A GUN!" Swain shouted
DUTCHY FIRED HIS GUN HITTING JACK IN THE STOMACH
"Swain!" Kate shouted
"I'm going over there ma'am" Swain said
"His been hit in the stomach, there's a lot of blood loss" Swain said
"Dutchy and 2DADS you check if there is any one else on board" Kate ordered
"X to bridge" Kate said
"X what's happening?" CO asked impatiently
"Jack is the master of the vessel, Dutchy's shot him" Kate said
"What!" CO said
"He had a gun, he was going to shoot" Kate said
"Is he okay?" CO asked
"Uh not sure yet, will bring him back to Hammersel, Swain will need to check him out, don't tell Bird. She will freak out" Kate said
THEY ARRIVED BACK ON BOARD, SWAIN TOOK JACK INTO THE WARD ROOM AND ASSESSED HIS INJURIES
"Swain is doing something to the ward room, no-one is to enter unless authorised to do so" Mike said
"Okay" the crew said in sync
"B-B-Bird!" 2DADS shouted down the corridor
"Yeah?" She said turning around
2DADS hugged her and said "Just thought I'd let you know I'm here for you, alright?"
Bird was shocked, she had never seen 2DADS be so sincere before
"Thanks 2DADS" Bird said smiling
Bird had a bit of a headache; she went and got a glass of water from the galley .Totally forgetting that no-one was allowed to enter the wardroom. She went and opened the door, her heart stopped, she dropped her glass of water and screamed
"Was wondering when you'd come beautiful" Jack said lying on the bed
Bird started to cry hysterically and was in total shock, the boys heard her scream and came running down and found her sitting against the wall crying. 2DADS ran up to her and crouched down next to her
"Bird" 2DADS said
"Why...Why... Is he here" Bird said wiping her tears from her face
"Bird, he was on the boat we boarded. He tried to fire on us. Dutchy got in fast and fired at him"
She continued to cry "His..His.." She started to cry but was cut off by X
"What happened?" X shouted
"Bird, got a bit of a fright when she saw Jack" 2DADS said
"Bird, I know this is scary but you've got to trust us he won't hurt you" X said trying to calm her down
"You don't know that" Bird said crying
"His got restraints on, he can't hurt you" X said rubbing her shoulder
"ah 2DADS can you take Bird to the galley, make her a nice cup of tea" X ordered
"Sure ma'am. Come on Bird" 2DADS said helping Bird up
X leant over to Jack
"If you ever, ever hurt Bird again, you'll regret it" Kate said
"The cops will be waiting for you at port mate. Obviously someone doesn't know the meaning of a restraining order" Swain said
(…..)
"We will be arriving in port in 10 minutes for a one night R&R, check in to hotel Mantra they will have your room information" Kate's voice said across the ships speaker
The crew arrived in port they were all eager to get of the boat, it had been a hectic few days. Swain and Dutchy escorted Jack off the boat and handed him over to the police where he got jailed for a short period of time. They headed out to a bar that looked pretty decent and sat around talking and drinking just like the good old times
