Here's the long awaited chapter. Sorry for the delay. I hope its ok

Chapter 19

Kate fumbled with the words as she looked at the young girl. The girl was in a bad situation. She had a deep cut that went from her left shoulder to all the way to her right hip. She wasn't conscious either."

"Sierra-two, I don't know. Over"

"X-ray-two what's the situation? Over"

"She's unconscious and she has wound starting from her shoulder and ends at her opposite hip. I'm not sure what else there. Her breathing is normal but her pulse is a bit quick. X-ray-two over"

ET was slowly checking over the young girl for anymore injuries. She had bruising on her wrists as if someone had grabbed her wrists really viciously and there were burns there as well. It looked like rope burn.

"X-ray-two this is Sierra-two. We're sending out Swain. Give me your location, X-ray-two. Over"

While Kate was giving the coordinates, ET was putting the girl into the unconscious position just as she was starting to stir. Kate immediately cut off her radio put her gun in her holster and went straight to the young girl.

"… Where am I? Who are you?" groaned the young girl.

"Hi, my name is Kate and this is Josh. We're from the Australian Navy. What's your name?"

"Lucy. Lucy McLeod."

"Ok well we are in a bit of a pickle at the moment…"

"Why?" Lucy interrupted with a wince as she tried to move her body.

"First of all just stay still and relax. Second of all I'll tell you if you don't interrupt me."

Kate looked at the child and smiled so Lucy would see that she was a friendly person. Lucy nodded in accent.

"Our medic's officer is on the island but it may take a bit of time for him to come. His name is, well, actually we call him Swain but his name is Chris. He's a really nice guy."

ET just watched the conversation with surprise. He never actually thought that the XO would be so good at talking to children. He just watched in awe as she was able to get the vital information from the young girl. He quickly tuned back in so that he knew what was going on.

"I don't remember much. We that is, my friend and I decided to go on a fishing trip. I had my big brother with me so mum didn't mind. Anyway we went out fishing and…"

Lucy winced in pain as she tried to move her body again.

"Just lay still Lucy. Help will come." ET encouraged the girl gently while squeezing her hand in comfort.

Kate stood up and walked away from them. She pulled out her radio.

"Sierra-two this is X-ray-two. What is going on? Over"

"X-ray-two this is Sierra-two. Swain is on his way. He should be there in about the next half hour. Out"

Kate was about to reply when saw movement out of the corner of her eye. She looked up in surprise as Bronson Mandas came stumbling into the small clearing. He looked a bit worse for wear but not as bad as Lucy.

Well that's it for know. Sorry for the cliffhanger I'll try and update sooner anyway thanks for the reviews and support.
