Chapter ten back to normal?

Virgil sat down on the beach his arms around Kathleen. It had been a hectic week with trying to get the base back into working conditions. It had taken the pumps two days to clear the rest of the water out of the storage areas. Thankfully very little damage was done to the equipment most of it being stored in watertight containers, what had been done was easily repaired. The machines where in full working order, as Scott had proved today when he fetched John down from five and Alan had taken over. Brains was already working on ideas on how to stop it from happening again. And now Virgil relaxed holding Kathleen against him.

"Virg, Kathleen," They heard John shout from the house. Virgil looked up slightly annoyed at his brother. "Sorry to disturb you, but there is something on the telly you'd be interested in," With a sigh Virgil stood up and pulled Kathleen to her feet.

"Now I can understand what Alan goes on about at times," He said ruefully. Kathleen smiled and put her arm around him. They made their way back to the house, when they arrived they noticed that it was the news that was on. They could hear a reporter saying what was going on.

"Today writs where issued on the chairman and others of Tri Core, "The voice said with a hint of satisfaction to it. "Arrests have been made and charges against them have been filed. Nobody from Tri Core was available from them to comment,"

"Not that they could really say anything in their defence," John said. He looked across at Kathleen. "And what about that accident?" Kathleen gave a smile.

"To be honest I would prefer not to be mentioned," She said softly. Virgil's arm tightened around her. Jeff just smiled at them both.

"Right down to the fact that you Virgil have still not had a proper vacation," Jeff said. Virgil scowled at Scott knowing where that had came from. Kathleen gave a small laugh. "So I thought you could take Kathleen out to England and introduce her to Penny," It was Virgil's turn to grin at his father.

"That sounds like a good idea," He said. Turning Kathleen to face him. "What do you think?" Kathleen gave a smile and nodded. It looked like she had got a future here after all.
