Chapter 9: Rescue
Hey guys, sorry its been a while, this chapter has once again come from Keli758
Buffer had never run so fast in his life than in that moment. He just wanted Bomber to be ok. Nothing more. He didn't care that he was disobeying CO"s order. Nothing, just to make sure she is ok. In the last couple of weeks Bomber had grown closer to him and he was afraid that there was something more than a friendship feeling towards her. Mike succeeded to stop Buffer at the engine room entrance.
"Buffer you cannot go in. It is an order." said Mike and looked in his bosun.
"Whatever you say I will go in. Bomber is sailor under my command and I have to, I must to save her." answered Buffer.
"I really understand you but it is too dangerous. Wait to we call a rescue team." Mike wanted to put some sense of reason in Buffer.
"There is no time sir. Every moment is important now."
"But Buffer, I cannot lose two sailors in one day. Bomber is my goddaughter but I have to be professional how much I wanted to run in and to safe her."
"Sir please. If something happens to hr it will be my fault and this time..." Buffer stopped himself on the time. He couldn't say to his CO that he was maybe falling in love in Bomber. "I am going in. If I don't come out in 15 minutes call rescue party." added Buffer and run in engine room before Mike could said anything.
When Buffer run in, he saw that Mike was right. Engine room was still full of smoke and there was little fire what we're waiting for localising.
"BOMBER! BOMBER!" yelled Buffer.
"BUffer!" came from another part of engine room. He run till there and knelt by injured Bomber.
"My leg is stuck and it hurt." she said while she was trying to work through the pain. Her leg was stuck between two pipes. One of it fell from up and it was hot, so it burned Bomber"s leg. Even if it was hot from fire, Buffer put her off. Bomber couldn"t stand on her leg because of the pain, so he pick her up and carried her out. On exit he was faced with Mike, Swain and Zac.
"Carry her in wardroom." said Swain. Buffer carried her in wardrrom. Zac followed them. He is not going to let that Buffer took him his girlfriend and a woman who he loved the most on world.
Buffer carried her in wardroom and put her on bed. When he tried to move his arms, Bomber took him fo one hand. In that moment in wardroom came Swain, Mike and Zac.
"i need some space for work. Please leave wardroom." said Swain.
"Please let him stay Swain." said Bomber and looked into Buffer. She was still holding his hand and Zac and Mike saw it too.
"Ok. But only him." said Swain and took gloves and rest what he need to. Mike and Zac left a wardroom.
"Sir can we a word? In private." said Zac.
"Yes:" said Mike and they went in his cabin. "What is it Zac?" askd Mike.
"It is about Buffer. I am not part of Navy so I am not so sure how strict your rules are, but I am 100% sure that relationship between two crew members are forbiden." said zac.
"where this conversation will lead?" asked Mike.
"I didn"t finish sir. These three days when we didn"t know where Becca is, i am sure she was with your buffer, in his house and in his bed." said Zac.
"Zac, this was last time that you said something like that for Rebecca in my presence. Understand?" he yelled. "Get out of my sight!2 he added stil yelling. Zac turned and left and slammed doors behind him. With anger, Mike slammed chair till table. He sighed. Maybe Zac was wright. He saw how Buffer was worried for Bomber and how she was holding his hand in wardroom. They weren"t so big friends before. His friendship started after all this mess, same day... He sighed in frustration. Zac was wright. Their "friendship" started after that shore leave when they couldn"t reach Bomber in three days. Mike didn"t want to believe in. He knew Buffer for three years now and he knew that Buffer would never been with woman who has someone or with woman from board, but some little voice in his head was tellig him different thing. What if Zac was wright?
Swain finished patching Bomber"s burn.
"That is it mate. Now take some rest." he said, smiled and went out leaving Bomber and Buffer alone in wardroom.
"thanks Buff." said Bomber and turn her head to look in him.
"On what?2 he asked.
"You came there and save me. And then you stayed here with me."
"I should to check are everyone left engine room but I forget. Again because of mine unreasponsibility you almost died becca." he said and squeeze her hand. Bomber looked into him. He never called her by her name before. Something was different on their both sides after that kiss in galley. In that moment in wardroom walk RO.
"BUff, CO wants to speak with you. He said it is urgent." he said and walk in.
"Take some rest. I will check on you later." he said and kiss her in forehead and went ou. Bomber sighd. It was deffinetly different on both sides and in her heart deffinetly.
