Sarah manage to wind them both and put them on the ground. She then quickly tie them both up and the other girl. Then she went over and check on Ryan she check his pulse but didn't move him. She then check the radar and look up and smile then she turn around just as the girl came to
"Navy here" Then she look at Ryan to see bruising starting to form over his arms and face. Then she look at the girls and shook her head.
They all heard what was happening at the back of the boat. So She turn around and turn the auto pilot off when the engines stop. Then she turn around and look at the five of them
"Your parents can't get you out of this one"
She let out her breath and turn to look out the window to see second patrol boat showing up. She turn and keep an eye on the five while thinking what Sandra said before.
Two Hours later Sarah step ford and undid the ties on their legs and help them up
"There are some friends of mine who I want you to meet, come on let's go"
"It not over, you got nothing on me" Sandra said
"Start walking Sandra and shut up you giving me a head ache" She push Sandra out the door they walk till Sarah saw her father and Swain
"Dad, Swain Ryan hurt badly"
"Where is he" Swain ashed
"On the bridge, this way" Sarah turn around and headed back to the bridge with Swain and Dylan in tow while the other crew members took care of the girls.
When they arrived, Swain walk over and crouch down just as Sarah got on her knees to sir down close to Ryan
"I'll take over Sarah"
She look up at her father then back down to Ryan while Swain spoke to Mike over his radio. Sarah look up at her father with tears in her eyes
"Come here" Dylan said Sarah stood up and walk over and into Dylan arms
"It ok"
"I try to stop them from hurting him dad. Even when he was knock out they were still kicking him. I manage to tie Sandra up then I pull the girls off Ryan and tie them up with the rope I found earlier when I was looking for the emergency beacon"
"I'm prod of you Sarah you did good" She turn to Swain
"Swain is he..."
"I don't know"
"Swain" Dutchy said
"Sorry mate... The worse is his head injury"
"I saw Gail kick him in the head two, three times when he was already knock out. The others kick him in the legs, back, chest and stomach"
Then they turn around when two of Hammersley crew members showed up with a neck brace and back board. Sarah watches what was happening till they lifted the back board and walk off the bridge with Sarah and Dylan behind them.
When they were out on back of the boat Sarah saw which HRIBS they and girls were getting in to and heading to Hammersley. Both Childers crews and Hammersley were checking over the yacht to make sure that they got every one.

"Is there any questions you got for my daughter officers"
"Yes you said while waiting for the navy you were thinking about what Sandra Peterson was saying early care to tell us"
"Yes when she said to me ' That will never happen if it dose I'll put the blame on some one else and I'm home free' That got me puzzle for a while till I remember what happen three months ago when I heard about what happen to Stacy. I knew she didn't have a drivers license and I remember her talking to Sandra that afternoon before the accident. I finally confronted her about the accident and she admitted to me what happen. She told me every thing, including about the party, every thing. She said no one will believe me" then Sarah started to smile
"I said to her 'Sandra see that blue half ball on the ceiling, smile your on navy camera.' Then I walk out the door while she was yelling and screaming and threatening. She doesn't believe me" Sarah said as she let out her breath.
