Kate glanced at the door as Harris walked in carrying the first aid kit she kept in the kitchen. She was confused, not knowing what he was going to do with it. She watched him, her eyes following his movement towards Mike. As he knelt down beside Mike, she blurted out the question that had been on her mind since he entered.

"What are you doing to him?"

Harris didn't raise his head, focussing his attention instead on the items he was pulling from the first aid kit.

"Bandaging him up," he replied eventually, unravelling the bandages. "Don't want him bleeding to death because then you won't do as I say."

Kate stayed silent. She knew she had to remain calm to keep Harris calm because she knew if he blew up again, there was no knowing what he would do to either of them.

Nikki fidgeted, looking again to her watch. It had been … hours since Mike had left the ship and there was still nothing from him. She knew that something had to be wrong. It was unlike him not to do what he promised. She turned to the faces standing and waiting in the bridge, picking out the two she knew would be the most help.

"Buffer, Swain. Go get changed. We're heading to the X's house."

Nikki turned to RO, "RO, we'll give you a call once we've figured out what's happened to the Boss and the X."

RO nodded his head, responding with "Yes Ma'am," before Nikki left the bridge.

Kate could hear Harris in the kitchen, listening to what sounded like him making some food. She let her head fall back against the headboard, the morning's events starting to overwhelm her. This was all her fault. She had finally recognised Harris and even though his name had changed, he was still the same old sleazy guy she met 4 years ago. A groan from the floor brought her from her thoughts and she sat up to see Mike moving.

"Mike?"

She heard him mumble something. Concerned, she moved closer to the edge.

"Mike, are you alright?"

He opened his eyes and focused them on Kate. He started to nod his head until he noticed the cut on her cheek, "What did he do to you?"

Kate shook her head, "It's nothing. Look Mike, I recognise where Harris is from and I'm telling you now we need to get out of here."

Mike looked thoughtful for a second, "Nav should be here sometime. She would have noticed that I haven't called when I said I would."

Kate looked sceptical, "Are you sure?"

He nodded his head, "Positive. She'll be here."

Kate sighed before relaxing back into the pillows. Maybe they had a chance.

Harris stood behind the door, listening to Mike tell Kate about the Navigator coming. If this was the case then he had to do something about it.

Marshall was getting annoyed big time. The Hammersley had still not sailed, both commanding officers MIA and Lieutenant Harris had still not showed. He stuck his head outside his office, waving down a female sailor walking past.

"Has anyone heard from either the Hammersley or Lieutenant Harris?"

The female sailor shook her head, "No sir. Still have not been able to get onto him."

Marshall heard the distaste in her voice and wondered at it.

"You don't like him Seaman Anderson?"

The sailor stared at him before shaking his head, "No sir. He has a certain attitude towards women that I don't like. There is also just something… eerie about him."

Marshall gave her a strange look, "Well keep trying to get onto him."
She nodded her head before heading back towards a computer.

Clara sat down at the computer and stared at it for a moment, the wheels in her brain turning. She had seen the way Lieutenant Harris looked at Lieutenant McGregor. She had also noticed the way he spoke to her on the phone. The coincidental disappearances of both Lieutenants seemed more than just a coincidence. She knew it was linked somehow. The outlying factor was the disappearance of Lieutenant Commander Flynn. That did not fit in. Thinking on it, she started to search.

As Buffer pulled them up outside Kate's house, the first thing Nikki noticed was Mike's car outside the house.

"He must still be here then," she muttered.

Swain and Buffer looked at each other before turning to Nikki.

"Ah… Ma'am," Swain started. Nikki turned to look at him, "Is it possible the X and the boss… might… have gotten… distracted?"

She raised an eyebrow, a small smirk on her face at the sight of Swain blushing.

"I highly doubt the CO and XO would engage in something that could destroy both their careers."

Swain and Buffer nodded their heads, knowing not to mention the subject again.

Nikki's eyes moved back to the house before turning back to the boys, "Shall we go in then."

They nodded, "Yes Ma'am."

As they walked up the path to the doorway, Swain noticed the door slightly ajar. His police instincts kicked in and he knew something was not right.

"Buff, Ma'am, stop."

Both stopped and turned to look at him, their faces confused.

"Swain?" Nikki asked.

He nodded his head towards the door, "It's ajar. Ma'am, knowing the XO she would not leave her door open. Something isn't right."

Nikki and Buffer looked between the door and Swain.

"Well, what do you want to do?" she asked him.

Swain thought for a moment before replying, "Ma'am. Wait out here. I'm going to go in and have a look around. If something has gone wrong, it's best if we don't disturb possible evidence."

Nikki nodded her head and watched as Swain walked into the house.

As Swain swung the door open, he made sure to not touch the handle. His eyes widened though as he looked up the hallway. There was furniture everywhere and as Swain ran his eyes over the mess, he saw a bit of white. Moving forward, making sure to not step on anything, he saw it was a male officer's hat. He guessed it was Mike's. He looked up and followed the mess, constantly checking to make sure that rooms were clear. He walked into the kitchen and saw that it was relatively clean except for the few bits and pieces in the sink. He was looking around when he thought he heard a sound from beyond the door at the other end. He moved slowly, making sure to not make any noise of his own. He pressed his ear against the door and after listening for a while and not hearing anything, he opened the door to a sight that shocked him. There was a large patch of blood on the floor as well as a first aid kit. He eyes continued to scan over the room, also noticing the ties they used on boardings to secure people. There was also a small pile of rope. Swain knew instantly that Mike and Kate were in trouble. He turned and rushed back out, making sure not to touch anything. He knew this was a crime scene and that they needed to call the cops. He ran out the front door, startling Nikki and Buffer.

"Swain? Did you find them?" Nikki asked, wondering why he was running.

He shook his head, "No I didn't. I need your mobile though ma'am."

Nikki held it out to him, confused at what was going on, "Swain, would you like to elaborate?"

He looked up at them, "I think the CO and XO may be in some serious trouble."

Clara's eyes widened at the information she had found. She wondered if this was known when Harris went through his Defence recruiting. She quickly printed the information out, wanting to check with Commander Marshall. After grabbing the papers from the printer, she rushed into his office, not bothering to knock.

"Sir, I've found this information on Lieutenant Harris and I was wondering if you were aware of it?"

Marshall scanned his eyes over the information she had found. He looked up at her, "Where did you find this?"
"I did some digging around on some of the databases Sir. The first thing that I found that was fishy was that Lieutenant McGregor had filed an application for a restraining order against a man named Dylan Adams. I dug even further and found out that he had since changed his name to David Harris and had managed to get himself into the Navy. Sir, I have no idea how he managed to get that information past recruitment but I think this may be linked to the disappearance of the officers off the Hammersley."

Marshall stared at Clara wondering why the hell this woman was in the Navy and not in the police force. He was about to reply when his phone rang. He apologised to Clara before answering it.

"Marshall… Lieutenant Caetano… What?... Hold on… slow down…"

There was a long pause, before Marshall replied with a quick, "Be there soon," before hanging up. He stood up, gathering the information Clara had given him before turning to her.

"You may have just provided us with the information we need to help Lieutenant McGregor and Lieutenant Commander Flynn."

Clara looked shocked, "Sir? What happened?"

"That was Lieutenant Caetano calling from McGregor's house. She went there with her Swain and Buffer and they found the house in a mess and blood. They've called it into the cops and I need to be down there to talk to the cops and provide them with the information you have provided. Good job Seaman Anderson."

The praise she had just been given was nothing to the shock she felt at the news that Marshall had just given her.

Kate came to, wondering what the hell had happened and turned to find her hands and legs still tied. She looked around the room, recognising it as a room to a motel. She saw Mike next to her on the bed, still knocked out. She saw Harris sitting in a chair, flicking through the TV channels. She was now extremely concerned because no one knew where they were.
