Ch 125
When Hammersley arrived in port the crew started walking off the ship. Kate smile at mike who was on the bridge as he watch her and the crew head to a bar for a few drinks.
four hours later Buffer left to head back to Hammersley since he was due to be on watch in two hours. "See you guys later"
"Ok buff" ET said
"I'll return back with you buffer" Kate said
"sure thing X" they walk out of the bar together and walk towards the wharf while talking and laughing till Buffer stop then Kate did
"what is it"
"I saw some one, let's go and check it out" Kate follow buffer till they stop near open containers.
Buffer poke his head around the corner then back, he turn to Kate "what is it" Kate move past buffer and stick her head around the corner then back again
"i recognised the tattoo" buffer said quietly
"So did i" Kate got her video camera out of her bag, she open it and turn it on then past it to buffer
"Record what you can"
Buffer turn around and poke his head around the corner, he raise the video camera and started recording while Kate send a text to Mike. When done they head men behind them so buffer grab Kate hand and ran to one of the open containers, they ran in and hid.
Buffer recorded what was being said when Kate cell phone vibrated since she got it on vibrate mode, she open it and read the text message the close it when the doors close on the container.
They waited for a few minutes when they notice that the container was moving so they hang onto some thing while waiting for it to stop moving when it did and they heard other noises they waited till it was quiet then they move from where they are. Kate got a pen torch out of her bag and turn it on
"mike got my text message, he canceling every one shore leave"
"does he know I'm with you X"
"Yes he dose, let's see what we got here" Kate move tarp back to see crates of weapons
"buffer record this will ya"
"sure thing X" They spent the next half an hour recording every thing
"there enough ammo to start a war on Samaru island" buffer said
"Yeah, Hey I got an idea, we use these Granada and string, we can set up our own booby tramp"
"How"
"Have them tie against the door so when they open it, it would pull the pins"
"One problem X we still in the container.?"
"We get it set up so when the time comes and they open the door to get one of these boxes we can quickly tie the end to the door then we run."
"I get ya X so when they open the other door, Bang"
"Yes and it would also let Hammersley know where we are"
"Great plan X"
"Lets get Started"
Kate and buffer work as a team. Kate gets up on the crates since she the lightest. While buffer past her the first grenade. She ties a string around it and tie it to the ceiling then she ties a string to the pin, then she work on to the next one. She planted ten grenades to the ceiling with the strings joining the pins.
Four of the Granada was difficult so Kate sat on buffer shoulders so she could tie the last of Granada to the ceiling. Once done and Kate was back on the floor all they could do is wait.
While on Hammersley mike spoke to Steve while the crew return back to Hammersley.
"mike are you sure it was Kate text message"
"Yes it is, she even sent couple of photos one was of two men both wearing Russian special forces tattoo and another one of open container there some thing under the tarps, my best guest is that it weapons"
"sounds like they getting ready to make there move"
"that what I'm thinking also but we don't know where there base is. Hopefully Kate and buffer can find it"
"I hope so to, I'll let fleet command know what going on Mike"
"Steve Kate got tracker in her phone she would of activated so we can some how trace her"
"I'll get on to that also Mike. I'll let you know soon as I know where she and petty officer tomaszski is"
"Alright Steve" then the hug up.
"sir every one aboard except for buffer and X" Nav said
"alright let's go and find out missing crew mates"
Fifteen minutes later Hammersley left port and headed out to sea.
Four hours after being lock in the container Kate and buffer heard noises then they felt the container being moved, soon as they relies that the container is on the ground they both hid and waited, then they saw the doors open and voices.
Buffer recorded what was being said and saw two men walk in and flipping back the tarp then they pick up a box between them and walk out. Buffer went to see if it was safe then he gave Kate the signal.
So she ran over to where buffer is, since he manage to close one of the doors then he crouch down so Kate could get onto his shoulders then she quickly tie the string to the door then tap his head so he crouch down do Kate could get off his shoulders then he held onto her hand as he look out side to see if it was safe, then they ran into the bushes, they move to one area where they could watch
"X I'll be right back"
"where are you going"
"bathroom" Kate nodded.
Buffer went to one spot where he could relieve him self the return back to Kate side
"mine turn" Kate went to a different spot where she relieve her self then return
"come on" Kate follow buffer since he saw group of men walking into the jungle.
On the way Kate try to send a text to Mike till she stop and step back two places "X what are you doing" buffer said quietly
"Sending a text to Mike, this is only good spot...done, let's go" then they carried on.
On Hammersley Mike was sitting in the captain chair when he cell phone buzz so he got it out and open it
"It from Kate...Her and buffer are on an island four hours from Samaru island" Nav look at the maps
"sir there one island that in four hour range, it two hours from here"
"direction"
"one three zero"
"do it"
"one three zero"
"RO get me NAVCOM on the sat phone"
"Yes sir"
Kate and buffer follow the group till they heard an exposition. They look at each other and grin then they carry on for another hundred meters till they heard more voices so they hid but they took a look to see who was there.
Buffer use Kate video recorder to record what was going on when they saw Ray Walsmen show up, they listen to what he was saying when one of the men saw buffer
"Hey" he walk towards buffer location
"buffer drop the camera close to where I am and run" Kate said quietly
Buffer turn and he drop the camera close to where Kate is and ran. Kate quickly grab the camera and hid as some of the men ran after buffer. When they caught him they tie his hands up and then drag him back to camp site.
Kate move to a different location, she manage to get close to the group while video recording what was going on and she listen to what Ray was talking to Buffer.
"you are not going to stop any of my plans and since you know to much take him to a spot and make him dig his own grave before killing him"
"I want to know some thing Mr Walsmen"
"what that buffer"
"Did you send men to Canberra to steel evidences against you and Massita Balanbaan that commander Flynn and lieutenant McGregor had"
"Yes I did with out that evidences the navy and government got nothing against me and my partner"
"I suppose you told them to beat up commander Flynn"
"Yes if he got in the way"
"Was it you that was behind the mortal shelling three months ago that destroyed part of the village and the hospital that was being built"
"Yes I order my men to take out the navy and the army personal that was there including the patrol boat. I heard that a captain of the army was wounded and so was captain of a patrol boat"
"do you know that name of the boat"
"no"
"It was Hammersley, the captain that was wounded was commander Mike Flynn" Ray was shock with that news
"your lying"
"It true, commander Flynn was seriously wounded when mortal hit the Ute" Ray didn't say a thing. Then he remember it was about that time when he went to see Mike who was in hospital with a leg wound.
"and the election, I suppose you got that rig as well"
"What it to you, take him he wasting my time" The guys made buffer stand up
"As you said before you got your men to kill me after I dig my own grave" buffer look at Ray in the eyes before being pulled away by one of the guys.
Kate recorded for couple more minutes before she left to look for buffer. When she saw him, he was starting to dig so Kate got her compact out and open it she use the mirror part to reflect the sun in to buffer face. When he saw the bright light he turn around slightly then carry on digging when he saw Kate, he gave her the finger signal as he put the shovel into the ground. Kate walk quietly up to the guy
"Hey" he turn around to face Kate when buffer jump on to the guy back causing him to fall on to the ground.
Kate stood back while looking for the gun when she saw it, she pick it up and pointed it at the guy
"Stop right there" He stop and turn to see Kate holding the gun
"Back up" He move back so buffer got up and he pick the rope up and tie the guys arms up
"Here" she past buffer some more rope
"thanks X"
Once the guy was tied up and he was sitting down leaning against the tree
"Are you alright" Kate ask
"Yeah, I'm going after Walsmen"
"Here take this" she pull out a bag and past it to him. He open it and pulled out a Grenada
"Great, they would come in handy I notice couple of crates with extra ammo in them"
"Hammersley should be here in an hour"
"Good, I'll be right back"
"be Carefully"
"you to X" then he turn and ran the direction where the camp is.
When he got there, he saw them packing up so he got two grenades out and pull the pins then he toss them over where some weapons and tent is. Then then he pulled out two more grenades when the first two went off so the throw two more then he did it again.
Men were running every where when he saw two men carrying bleeding Walsmen while others were guarding him as they make there escape as they fire in the bushes including where he was. When it was all clear he return back to where Kate and the guy is
"Lets get out of here before they start looking for us" he untie the rope from the guys feet then pick him up
"Lets go" They walk back the way they came from
"X" she turn to buffer
"Walsmen wounded"
"how bad?"
"Not sure, he was in the tent when I throw a Grenada in there"
When Hammersley got close to the island "sir there smoke" Nav said
Mike pick up his binoculars to see the smoke just around the coast. When Hammersley came around the corner they were shock when they saw the mess. Mike pick up the mic
"Hands to boarding stations, hands to boarding stations, hands to boarding stations" then he put the mic back
"Nav you have the ship, bomber help Swain with the med kit" Then they quickly left the bridge.
Few minutes later they were on what was left of the new built wharf. Mike started giving out orders. They all attended to the wounded as well getting them off the wharf before it collapsed.
