(Still in the past)
"Kate?" he asked hopeful as he knocked on her door for the hundredth time
"I'm trying to study!" she yelled pulling back the door as she grabbed him by the shirt and pulled him into her room quickly closing the door behind her
"You haven't been answering my calls" he answered sadly
"How did you even get up here Jake, no visitors are allowed in the housing area" she answered looking at him angrily
"I snuck up I had to see you, how are you?" he asked softly sitting on her bed
"I just needed some time to think about things" she said sitting at her desk
"And have you? Thought about things?" he asked
"What do you want me to do Jake, your involved in drugs" she answered angrily
"Technically not involved" he said holding his hand up
"Your selling them that's worse!" she replied quickly
"Kate…" he said sadly
"No Jake I don't even know who you are anymore" she said angrily
"I'm still your brother" he answered
"Are you? Because the brother I know would never do something like this, I'm giving you a week to give all this up or I'll turn you in myself your choice" she answered opening her book up
"You can't mean that" he answered moving off the bed
"After everything we've been through together you're going to throw it all away" he asked sadly
"You're dealing in drugs Jake! What makes you think that's okay?" she answered turning to look at him
"I won't let a little thing like this ruin our relationship" he answered bluntly
"Little thing? Are you even listening to yourself!" she said angrily
"I can't just stop Kate, I'm in this now if I stop they'll come after me and everyone I love" he answered
"I'm not discussing this anymore I've said what I want to so" she said shrugging her shoulders
"I'm doing this to keep you safe Kate" he answered crossing his arms
"You're not setting a good example for your younger sister than are you?" she answered looking back down at her book
"Kate…" he answered sadly
"Have you thought about how Mum would take this if she found out?" she said turning to look at him again
"You can't tell her" he said quickly
"I'm not saying anything, that's your job" she said pointing to him
"Why can't you just trust me" he answered hopeful
"I'm done Jake it's now up to you what you do" she answered before sighing
"Exit's that way" she said bluntly before pointing to the door
"I'm sorry Kate…" he said sadly squeezing her shoulder as he exited out the way he came in closing the door behind him Kate felt herself crumble at his words and the tears started to fall.
The next day Kate made her way down the path to the garden that Mike had shown her on her second day at ADFA it had been there second meeting place for after and before classes and sometimes she'd go to his place, smiling to herself as she saw Mike sitting on the small bench as she made her way over to him
"Hey" she answered hugging him from behind as she kissed his cheek
"How you going?" he asked as she moved to around to sit next to him
"Sorry?" she asked confused
"Someone reported a loud commotion coming from the living quarters yesterday" he answered looking at her sadly
"Jake stopped by yesterday" she said leaning back into the seat
"I take it things didn't go to well?" he said more knowing then asking
"He said that he's doing it to keep me safe, if he pulls out someone will come after the people he loves" she answered sadly
"And you don't believe him?" Mike asked confused
"I saw the way he acted when Mum and him grilled me about drugs they found in my jacket he was furious I just can't believe he would do something like this" she said as he looked at her surprised
"Wait rewind, you were into drugs?" he asked confused
"No! The Ex I told you about was and I came into contact with some but I never used ever" she answered hoping he would believe her
"Kate it's fine I believe you" he said reassuring her as he brushed a piece of hair behind her ear
"I'm just so confused by all this" she said as he reached his arm over her shoulder pulling her close to him
"He's put you in an impossible situation Kate it's only natural you'd feel conflicted and confused" he answered
"What would you do?" she asked looking up at him
"Honestly, I don't know" he said sadly smiling weakly at her as he kissed her forehead in comfort.
Present:
Her first Patrol was rather interesting, Mike and her had the job of being at the hospital when Ursula Morell identified the body of her colleague who had passed away, her being completely distraught and practically collapsing in Mike's arms Kate looking on in confusion.
As they were making their way along the docks back towards Hammersley hours later that afternoon Kate spoke
"What do you make of all that?" she asked regarding what had happened with Ursula
"I really feel for her" he answered looking at her
"Do you?" she asked confused
"She made a command decision that went very bad",
"Yes",
"Lost a team member as a result, the sort of thing that can happen to us" he said looking at her
"You didn't think that… Sir she is a very striking woman and I wouldn't blame you if you were a little smitten with her but I.." she said as he laughed
"Excuse me?" he said confused stopping to look at her
"The moment she leant against your chest for support you didn't find that to be a little calculated?" she said holding her hand up
"No" he answered confused laughing a little as he continued to walk
"No… Got to be another Woman to see it I guess and she really wanted to make sure dr. Holmes hadn't said anything" Kate answered as she followed him
"I think we'll leave it there don't you" he said looking at her as he saluted fellow sailors who were walking past
"Sure it's, it's a feeling thing feminine instinct if you like" she said looking away as she slyly looked at her
"I'm getting the impression we can really make this work you?" he said as they stopped next to the gangway onto Hammersley
"I don't see why not" she answered standing opposite him
"I mean I understand that Patrol boats are just a stepping stone on your way to being Rear Admiral",
"Chief of Navy" she said interrupting him
"Chief of Navy?" he said surprised
"Yeah" she said grinning
"But I think we can put that other thing behind us" he said bluntly
"Other thing..." she said pausing before continuing
"Yeah other thing that's what I'd call it other thing…" she answered before making her way over the gangway
"You've been on Hammersley now…",
"48 hours Sir" she answered turning to face him again
"Welcome aboard" he said nodding at her as she turned to continue the rest of her way onto the ship Mike following shortly behind saluting Thor as he did so.
Over the next week Patrol had been eventful, stressful and also heartbreaking they had lost a valued crew member to a Irukandji sting, Ursula Morell had been spending quite a bit of time either on Bright Island or aboard Hammersley with Mike and now they were hunting for an Ice boat with Kate, ET and Spider getting the job of going undercover.
Making her way onto the bridge Nav laughed as she turned to look at Kate
"Oh, you look fabulous!" she said grinning at them all dressed up
"I would like to thank my personal stylist, Lieutenant Commander Mike Flynn, for the loan of his very favourite fishing shirt" Kate said as she did a little twirl
"Black eye adds a degree of authenticity to the ensemble. Don't you think?" Mike said grinning as Kate softly touched her black eye that she had gotten earlier that day.
Nav laughing as ET entered the bridge behind Spider
"Ease off, Nav. I didn't volunteer for this gig" he said grumpily
"No, you're there because you failed to keep an eye on David" Mike answered crossing his arms
"Yeah, believe me, ET. No one volunteered for this gig" Spider answered softly as Kate fixed the bandana on his head as Nav kept laughing quietly to herself, she may not have volunteered but she was looking forward to getting in some action even if she was wearing her ex-boyfriend's shirt his scent reminding her of the time they spent together at ADFA.
