Not knowing that the van that Nav was in stop off on the wharf in front of Hammersley. Nav got out and walk up onto the ship where she saw buffer
"Nav are you ok"
"buffer can you...can you pack all of ET things" Nav said looking sad

"Bye Charge, take care of your self and Hammersley engines" Charge frond wondering what going on so he went to talk to swain about what just happen
While Nav was packing all her thing, buffer was packing up all of ET things till he pick up a box that was in the hole in the wall next to his bed. Buffer open it revealing a white gold band. He close it and put it in the bag then he carry on packing the rest of ET things.
He just finish when he saw some thing sticking out from under the pillow so he pulled it out. He was shock when he saw it was wedding photo of Nav and ET. He put it up in his top pocket then check to make sure he got every thing before walking out of the cabin.
When he walk out to the back of the ship he look at the van with tinted windows so he walk off Hammersley when the guy got out of the van
"Is that leader holiday things"
"Yes" the guy went to grab the bag when buffer put it behind his back
"Why do you want it, who are you"

"buffer" he turn to see Nav walking off Hammersley
"Nav I got all of ET things" he past her the bag
"thanks buffer"
"Nav what going on you know you can trust me"
He saw the look on her face he knew she wanted to say some thing but some thing was stopping her from telling him and some how the guy behind him has some thing to do with it.
"sorry buffer, I... I got to go" She gave him a hug then walk pass him.
Buffer turn around to see the guy opening the door for Nav, she got in putting the bags down on the floor, she turn to look at buffer then step ford to give him a hug. "take care of you self...Pete" when they pulled back buffer was shock that she called him but his name for the first time. Nav turn around and got into the van when he saw a man foot close to one of the bags. when the door close. The guy got into the driver side and close the door and put his seat belt on. When he did that buffer quickly step ford and open the side door
"Hey" the guy said as he try to undo his seat belt as he open the door.
Buffer was shock when he saw who was in the van with Nav. He quickly got in closing and lock the door
"buffer" Nav said in shock
"Care to tell me what going on" he said looking at ET
"sorry mate no one par from fleet command, commander Marshal, commander Flynn and X knows that I'm alive"
"i...we all saw you body"
"Some one injected me with a drug to slow my heart rate down for few hours to make it look like I was dead. The other divers and I came across some thing, I can't say what it was. That is why we were...killed cause of what we found"
"so the pump it was deliberate"
"Yes"
"so you in witness protection program then"
"Yes" there was banging on the out side.
"Now I know why Nav leaving Hammersley"
"you do" Nav asked buffer pulled out the photo and past it to her. Nav and ET was shock when they saw it was wedding photo.
"what ever you saw and who ever try to kill you, I'll get them for what they put you both and every one on Hammersley through in the past few hours"
"buffer I know you would mate" ET said
"You better go" Nav said when she saw the agent on the phone
"i will and ET look after her or you have me to deal with"
"I will look after them" ET said smiling
"them" he look at them
"I'm pregnant" Buffer smile
"congrats Nav, ET" then he point his finger at ET
"You better look after them mate"
"don't worry buffer he knows what would happen" Nav said smiling as she pulled him into a hug. When they pull apart buffer then hug ET.
"Take care and some how let me know what your having"
"We will, please don't tell any one but X and commander Flynn. They know what going on and that ET is alive" Nav asked
"I will" then he unlock the door and open it and got out
"you shouldn't of gone in there" buffer gave the guy a piss off look which cause him to back up.
Buffer turn to Nav and ET "I promise I'll get them for you Nav" then he gave ET a nod
"We know you will" Nav said
"you know Peter is a good name for a boy" he said smiling making Nav laugh
"Take care buffer, fair winds" Buffer close the door then turn to the guy
"Make sure you and your pales look after them...sir"
"I'll be talking to commander Marshal about this"
"you do that" Buffer step back just as some of the crew walk off Hammersley

"nothing for you to worry about spider" the guy got back into the van and started the engine then he drove away.
"buffer who was in the van?" bomber asked when she walk off Hammersley
"None of your concern bomber" buffer turn and walk back onto Hammersley.
Half an hour later buffer was on the back of Hammersley when Kate and Coburn walk back on board

"what is it that you want to talk to me about." He turn to Kate
"i know ET alive, I spoke to him" Kate was shock
"what how"
"Nav she showed up in a van she ask me to pack all of ET things which I thought was odd till I saw there wedding photo that was under ET pillow and saw ET wedding ring. When Nav got back in the van I had to know what she was hiding, I could tell she wanted to tell me but couldn't. I open the door and jump in..."
"that when you saw ET alive"
"Yeah I quickly close the door so none of the crew could see in the van. I spoke to them both. ET told me some things but he didn't tell me what he and the other divers found. They told me about the baby"
"so you know"
"Yeah..." then he smile
"i warn ET to look after them" Kate smile
"I'm sure Nav would make sure he dose"
"True, they sure keep it a secret, no one knew, did you X?"
"No not till I took Nav down to our cabin then we she told me"
"i promise Nav and ET that I will get the ones who put all of us through hell in the past few hours" Pete said
"You won't be the only one buffer"
"crew"

"I'll be there"
"I'll see you then"
"Yes ma'am"
"Remember no one else on board knows that ET is alive"
"i under stand X" they walk towards one of the doors while talking and laughing.
The next day the whole Hammersley crew including Mike showed up for lieutenant commander Jack Freemen funeral then after wards every one went there separate ways.
When there week shore leave was over the crew was getting ready to leave when they notice Nav wasn't on the ship.
"X where is Nav" Spider asked. Kate look at spider then to the rest of the crew who was on the dock taking supplies on board
"Later spider, get back to work"
