"You know there isn't a person at this table who hasn't got a child." Sam said

"I haven't." Kali and Private said simultaenously.

"No, I mean. The men here have children." Sam replied

"There are only two men." Kali pointed out.

"What's your dad like?" Private asked her.

"He's very sweet."

"Not about your brother he isn't."Sam said, sipping his water. Kali sniffed.

"Neither are you."

'Kowalski's father doesn't like him.' Private thought to himself. He felt guilty thinking it, but then something suddenly came to him. Kali reminded him of Kowalski. They were both tall and thin and Kali looked intelligent and acted it too. Were they related?

"What about your mum?"

"She's nosy and batty."

"Oh, come on now." Sam laughed.

"It's sister's great though. My best friend."

"Alright. We're at the coast." Skipper said. The red sun gleamed like a ruby over the dark sapphire blue sea. The sunset was undeniably beautiful.

"Alright."Kowalski looked around. His mind drew a blank. He'd been thinking all the way. His brain felt tired. He could practically feel it throbbing with exhaustion.

"Guys!"

"Doris?"

"I want to help you."

She was on a Segway. She wasn't very good on it. She wobbled precariously at the slightest movement.

"Umm...what are you doing here?"

"I'm helping."

"OK. Don't slow us down."

"I won't." Doris replied,looking hurt.

"I didn't mean you." Skipper said, giving his second-in-command a brief, but meaningful look.

I'm sorry I left you all for so long. I feel very ashamed. *hangs head* I have college and things are busy, but that's no excuse. I hope you guys find it in your hearts to forgive this author.
