"How do you know this" Kate asked
"My father got shares in the firm, my gosh i can't believe what has been going on right under mine and other shareholder nose" she looked down as she shook her head
"what are you going to do" MacGyver lifted her head
"Cash in all my shares and donated to the people on stoke island to help them and make what was left of their lives comfortable and to cancer so they can do research on this new cancer that these people have got cause of what happen"
"How much is your shares"
"Over two hundred million dollars"
"that a lot of money"
"I agree" then she got on her radio "charlie eight two, sir contact NAVCOM we know how behind it and we got proof"
"Who is it"
"Mining industry called Braxton mining group we got GPS tracker and playing cards sir"
"Playing cards"
"yes sir it got the braxton mining group logo on the back and this ship stop for an hour at a port fifty kilometers north of cairns not far from where mining group is located"
"good work MacGyver, X"
"thank you sir"
Hour later both ships headed to home port. MacGyver made a phone call as soon as she was in cell phone range, she called her stroke broker.
"But june the group gone up fifty points, it hit it all time high and you want to cash in now"
"Yes every share from them"
"that over three hundred millions dollars, may i ask while"
"you will find out soon enough tim, just do it and email me in ten minutes to tell me it done got it"
"sure, I'll do it now"
"good" then she hung up.
"Hey man what is going on" guy from stoke broker ask his mate Tim
"June Roff she wanted me to cash in all her shares from Braxton mining, she sounded angry over the phone"
"sounds like she knows some thing that we don't"
"Yeah, it not like her to do this"
"she might have a very good reason"
"true I better get onto it"
Then he made calls and cash in all of her shares and put the money into her bank accounts and emailed a copy of the transactions being completed.
When Hammersley returned back to home port Mike, Kate and MacGyver went to see Maxine since she wanted to see all three of them. "Mike, lieutenant, chief petty officer, I spoke to the fleet commander about all your evidence against the braxton mining group. He is alarmed by all of them and has spoken to the feds in Sydney as well as passed on everything to them. They want to talk to you three in person tomorrow"
"tomorrow" MacGyver said
"Yes why is there a problem" Maxine said
"shareholder meeting tomorrow afternoon, they have it twice a year"
"how did you know this" Mike asked
"My late father got shares in the firm. As soon as I saw the playing cards and where the ship was, I soon realized that they are behind the poisoning of the water and fish which caused hundreds, possible thousands of deaths in the past six years. Soon as we were in cell phone range i call to cash in every share from that business"
"How much did you get" Maxine asked
"Over three hundred million dollars, which i'm putting towards cancer research cause of this new cancer plus to help the ones on stroke island since there not much time left for them all"
"How much time"
"Two, three years tops. For starts going to build a small hospital and medical centre for when the ones who need to go into treatment, they can have a couple nurses to help the doctor out. That just for starts"
"I'm sure they will appreciate all of that MacGyver"
"Thanks sir but the best gift of all is get the ones behind this toxic dumping. To them that would be the best gift of all"
"Yes it would be alright," Kate said.
The next morning all three of them flew down to Sydney in their uniforms. One of the Feds was waiting to get them at the airport. He drove them to the feds headquarters where they met up with other feds who were also on the case. They spent all morning going over everything. MacGyver did most of the talking.
That afternoon MacGyver showed up for the shareholder meetings. She was still in uniform. The ones close by were shocked when she walked into the room and shocked by what metals she was wearing. She walked up to the front and sat down putting her hat on the seat next to her. One guy walk over and sat next to her
"Hello" he said smiling at her She turn to him
"Hello"
"Haven't seen you here before"
"Cause i've been busy and unable to attend the meetings till today"
"I see and you showed up here in uniform"
"Yes i had a classified meeting this morning before coming here"
"Oh, so afterwards care to go out for a drink"
"No thank you i got to fly home tonight"
"couldn't you stay in a hotel for the night?" he said smiling at her.
"Sorry no can do got an early shift in the morning"
"what do you do"
"chief, medic, translator among other things"
"wow you must be very busy, do you work on a ship"
"Yeah" she said in a funny tone "I am in the navy"
"So those metals, how did you get them?"
"working my ass off and risking my life to save others"
"Is that how you got your victoria cross"
"Yes"
"there you are" they turn to a voice. MacGyver smile as she stood up to give Jim a hug
"Your life savour" she whispered then pulled back for a passionate kiss.
"I came soon i could"
"I'm pleased you made it Jim" then they sat down with June picking up her hat and holding onto it.
"Hello" Jim said to the guy
"hi, are you two together" MacGyver turn to Jim
"He not very observant is he"
"I agree," Jim said smiling at her. She turned to the guy
"Jim is my husband" the guy face drop
"Oh" Then they notice people taking their seats. Jim put his arm around June shoulder and lean over to June
"Mike and Kate told me" June turn to him
"Every thing" she said
"yeah"
"ok, we talk afterwards"
"sure" They turn to listen to what the CEO was saying about what happened in the past six months and what projects are in the works.
Jim turned to June, her reach over with her free hand and held on her and gave it a squeeze which she did in return. She lowered her head while taking a deep breath then letting it out. Jim watches June and is worried about her after what he had heard about what happened from Mike and Kate and who is behind the dumping and how long it has been going on for. She raised her head and turn to Jim he leaned over
"Are you ok"
"No, I'm trying to keep my cool"
"Whatever you do, I'm behind you"
"Thanks hon" then she looks around the room when the CEO is talking about profits and seeing every one either giving a small nod or grinning. She turned to Jim
"Your choice June"
"Thanks" she turned to see five directors up on stage in their fancy suites smiling as they listened to their CEO talking about different things. MacGyver close her eyes and took a deep breath, then she open then as she let go of Jim hand then she stood up
"STOP" the CEO stopped and looked at her with a puzzled look wondering who she was.
She walked around and up the steps to the stage. Everyone is wondering what is going on and who she is.
"What is the meaning of this, who are you?" she stepped forward to the microphone
"I'm perry officer June Roff, VC of the royal australian navy, I serve on the HMAS Hammersley"
"Why did you stop this shareholder meeting, your not shareholder"
"I was, i cash in all my shares yesterday and for good reason" then she turned to the other shareholders
"You would want to do the same" they all laugh
"You laugh, so you think it funny that in the past six years that baxson mining group been dumping toxic waste into the ocean" every look at her shocked
"Is this a joke" one guy said
"it no joke, over three hundred square miles of arafura sea is contaminated by mercury and arsenic poisoning that been dump in the shipping lane. One habberted island is no more. Everyone on the island died from the contaminated sea water and fish they catch to eat. There were over six hundred people living there, now a ghost town. Another island there was over two thousand people ten years ago, now done to six hundred. The ones died, ninety seven percent died from cancer" Everyone was shocked
"the remaining ones they will be dead with less than three years. They all been tests and all got cancer. All because of the illegal dumping of toxic waste and yes both the navy and feds got evidence including recording of the ship in question dumping the toxin waite. Plus eight foiren fishing boat been found with all personal on board died from eating the fish they caught. We don't have the numbers of fish they caught and took back to the mother ship for them to take it back to where they came from to sell on the market. We don't know how many have died from the poison fish or end up getting cancer because of it. We looking into hundred thousand people's lives. Because of the dumping the area is no fish zone cause of what happened."
"were you there" one women asked
"Yes I was and it wasn't pleasant watching children crying as they suffered in pain for hours before they died. Families who were born and grew up on the island are gone. Generations of families wipe out within days, weeks, months. I've been over in iran for my tour, what I've seen and experience has nothing to compeer to what happening here in my own country where i was born in, raised in, doing what I love doing best but I don't love my country with mining business who secretly dumping wastes into the sea and don't care about the environment impact it will have in years to come not only to the sea and the animals who live in it but the people the victims who swim, dive even fish in it doesn't know what will happen till it too late."
Then the doors opened and MacGyver saw the feds walking into the room and Mike and Kate walking in last. Everyone looked around when they saw feds walk in and up to where MacGyver is. She turns to the lead feds
"they know what is going on" then she turned to the six men on the stage
"all of you got a lot to answer for, after what you all been doing in the past six years and wondering what else you legally have been doing that shareholders and feds don't know about. You all should be ashamed of yourselves."
She gave them all a cold hard look which Jim, Mike and Kate know. She turned and walked down the steps as the lead feds spoke to the CEO giving him and the other court orders. Jim stood up and step ford and hug june
"You did great June" he pulled back and kiss her
"thanks Jim, let's go home"
"Why not" he put his arm around her shoulders as they walked down to where Mike and Kate as the shareholders were on cell phones making phone calls.
"Are you ok MacGyver"
"In time, let's go home" They walk out the door and outside where one of the feds is waiting for them in an SUV. they all got in and he drove them to the airport.
That night it was on the news about what happened on stroke island and braxton mining group and the arrest of the CEO and all the directors while a full investigation is going on. Plus the braxton mining shares took a nosedive after what happened at the meeting.
Jim and June enjoyed a few days of shore leave till MacGyver received a phone call so she went to NAVCOM to see commander white. "Commander you wanted to see me"
"Yes i do Childer need a temporary chief and medic for a week"
"A week is there any one else ma'am"
"No, and Hammersley getting the engines check over since they are due and you will be back day before Hammersley set sail"
"what happened to the chief and medic that on Childers ma'am"
"Maternity leave, his wife due to have a baby any day"
"I understand, when do Childer leave"
"Hour"
"hour, ok thank you for telling me ma'am" she saluted Maxine before rushing out of her office with phone in hand "Jim honney can you get my sea bag and bring it down to Hammersley… I'll explain when you get here, come by taxi… thank love" then she hung up.
She walked quickly down the steps when Kate saw her "MacGyver why are you in a hurry"
"bloody knocker given me one hour notice, she put me on childer and they leaving in less than an hour, got to run"
"what about your sea bag" MacGyver was running towards Hammersley. Then she thought about it "then who replaced MacGyver" she got her phone out and called Mike.
MacGyver ran onto Hammersley where she got changed into her DBNU then packed her tolitess and couple other things as well putting her uniform in it suite bag then she ran off Hammersley just as the taxi showed it. It was jim.
He ran over to her with bag in hand "June what going on"
"bloody knocker, gave me an hour notice to be on childers" they walk quickly down to where childer is to see group of sailors taking thing on board
"where the chief before you"
"Maternity leave, it looks like either knocker couldn't get a temporary replacement or waited until the last moment to call me in. she would of had plenty of notice"
"I agree" they stop and turn to each other.
"I'll call you when I return home"
"Ok love you"
"love you, got the keys to the car"
"Yes" he gives her a kiss
"Be Careful out there"
"will do" then she turn around and walk up onto the ship where the captain is
"Leader roff, your late" they saluted each other
"For your information sir i'm not late i just came from NAVCOM and Hammersley where i had to get my uniform sir and where does it say leader on my uniform sir. Someone show me to my temporary cabin while you sir call commander white and you ask her since she gave me less than an hour short notice to be on here with no bloody warning. And if you want to put me on report for talking this way sir go a head and if you want to know how to deal with a pissed off chief petty officer call commander Flynn sir" she said in anger piss off tone
"ginger show chief petty officer down to the senior sailor cabin"
"Yes sir"
"I'm called MacGyver sir and one woman you don't want to piss off when i'm in a shitty mood like i am right now sir" then she turns and follows Ginger towards the hatch.
