Chapter 13

Joey and Dawson returned to the table and sat down quickly looking at each other.

'I didn't realise you had to bottle the drinks.' Jen commented, as the two sat down. She looked at their empty hands, as did the rest of the group.

'Where are the drinks?' Pacey asked, noticing how flushed the pair looked.

'Oh, mom is going to bring them out.' Dawson said. 'I might go give her a hand.' He said rising again.

'Jen, I think you might be on to something.' Pacey said.

The group were sitting eating and chatting when Harm's cell phone rang.

'Don't you ever turn that think off?' Mac grumbled at Harm.

'It's the admiral,' he said looking at the number.

'You'd better answer it.'

'Hello sir,' Harm said answering the phone.

'Does the Col ever turn her phone on?' the admiral grumbled.

'Occasionally.'

'Cdr, how are you and the Col getting along?'

'Fine sir?'

'Is Mic still there?'

'No sir.'

'Where is he?'

'Gone sir.'

'Gone where Cdr?'

'Home sir.'

'To Australia?'

'Yes sir.'

'And how does the Col feel about this?'

Harm covered the phone, 'He is checking up on us. He wants to know how you are.'

'Harm tell him Mic and I broke up and that I'm fine.' Mac said.

'She is fine sir. You should know that her and Mic broke up.'

'They did what?'

'They split up sir.'

The admiral sat and processed this for a moment.

'Admiral?' Harm said.

'Yes Cdr, how is the case going?'

'Ahhh.'

'Cdr, tell me you're not having a holiday and that you've started working on the case.'

'We're not having a holiday and we've started working on the case, sir.'

'Cdr, what is that noise?' the admiral asked as there was a loud crash in the background.

'A waiter dropped a tray of drinks, sir.' Harm replied, to himself he added, 'More like Dawson dropping a tray of drinks.'

'Where are you?'

'Mac and I and the group are at Leery's Fresh Fish.'

'Leery as in that Dawson boy?' the admiral asked.

'Yes sir.'

'Cdr, put the Col on.'

'Aye aye sir,' Harm said holding the phone to Mac.

'Col?'

'Yes sir.'

'Are you alright?'

'I'm fine sir.'

'And the case?'

'Ahh.'

'Col?'

'Yes sir.'

'I'm going to call in two days. I want that case started.' The admiral ordered.

'Yes sir.' Mac replied hanging up the phone.

'What did your boss want?' Pacey asked.

'To know if we started our case.' Mac said. Turning to Harm, she said. 'We probably should have done more work today. He is going to call in two days and I quote "I want that case started."' She mimicked the admiral.

'Tomorrow. We'll do it tomorrow.' Harm smiled.

Potter B & B

Capeside

'I assume you guys are staying the night?' Joey said to Jen, Jack, Pacey and Andie as they arrived back at the B and B.

'Yes.' Andie said as she sat in Pacey's lap.

'Do you guys want to watch a movie?' Dawson asked.

'Um alright, we'd hate to break tradition.' Jen joked.

'Before we start, do you want to sleep in the rooms or out here on the floor?' Joey asked.

'The floor will do.' Pacey said.

'Yeah, I suppose inside is better than the pound.' Joey teased.

'Funny, Joey, funny.'

The gang quickly set up mattresses and blankets on the floor.

'Harm, Mac. You going to sleep out here?' Jack asked.

'Oh, why not?' Mac said.
