CH 186

The next day Hammersley left port to do it patrol while mike started making number of phone calls. The crew was shock when they lean about what happen to Fraiser even though he been on the ship for couple of days.

A week later at NAVCOM Mike invited all the boat owners who had there equipment stolen from the pirates. They were all in a room talking to mike since he told them that the navy got the men responsible for what they did when the door open, some of them turn when a little girl walk into the room then ones who saw her nudge the ones next to them till every one was looking at the little girl who close the door behind her

"Emma what are you doing here sweetie" Emma ran over to her father and climb up onto his lap and gave him a hug the pulled back

"Are you ok dad"

"Yes why did you asked"

"Cause you weren't your self since mum left what wrong"

"not now Emma, I'm busy"

"Is it to do with what happen to the boaties who has there stuff stolen"

"How do you know that" Emma turn to the man across from Mike.

"I over heard my mum and dad talking about it. And I heard what you said to my dad, it not my dad fault so why are you telling him it is"

"He navy and cause we will never trust them again"

"Cause of one person"

"yes"

"did the navy catch the men who hurt you and stole from you"

"Yes but that not the point"

"what is, I thought that the navy caught the ones who did it"

"Yes they did" Emma turn to mike

"Dad was it one of Hammersley crew that the bad person"

"No Emma. The one who is responsible was on Hammersley for one patrol cause the normal crew member was ill"

"Was it Hammersley who caught the bad guys dad" Mike smile

"Yes it was them" then Emma turn to the owners of the boats

"please don't blame the navy, please don't blame crew on Hammersley for what happen. If it wasn't for the crew of Hammersley those bad men would still be steeling from other boats. I trust the crew of Hammersley with my life, they are my family."

"Emma right. If it wasn't for the Hammersley crew more yachts would of become victims to these people like you were"

"your both right and little lady where dose you mummy do" one man asked

Emma smile "My mum is the captain of Hammersley" Every one was shock with what Emma said then look at mike

"Lieutenant commander Kate McGregor is my wife sirs"

"Mum she can be hard on the crew if they do wrong, she a hard task master"

"how hard" one of the men asked

"My mum would make the crew member clean every toilet on Hammersley with a tooth brush and yes it has happen to some one I know. They had to clean the toilets the next day after Auntie Jessica make up hot spicy curry the day before" then she wave her hand in front of her face cause them all to laugh

"how spicy was the food little girl"

"My name is Emma Flynn and answer to your question sir is no one could use that toilet for three hours and there no windows to open" she said smiling.

Mike watch how Emma answered there questions and they were surprise with her answer. Hour later the boat owners walk out of the conference room talking among them selves as they walk towards where the elevators are. When mike and Emma walk out together they were smiling.

"Mike what happen in there" Maxine asked when she walk over to them

"Every thing sorted thanks to Emma here"

"what was she doing in there" Maxine said angry

"she came to see me cause she been worried about me. Thanks to Emma we got those boat owners trust"

"i see fleet command would be happy"

"Yes they would, now if you will excuse us, I promise Emma a treat" they walk towards mike office so mike could get his hat then he and Emma walk out together walk talking. Maxine return back to her office.

The day Hammersley return back from it two week patrol was also the twenty third. The crew was looking ford to having the next few days off. When Hammersley dock the crew saw who was running onto Hammersley but they keep doing there jobs before leaving. Kate was on the bridge when kids ran up onto the bridge and into Kate arms for a hug and kiss then they ran over to the rest of the crew to do the same while talking to them.

"mum where auntie Jessica" MJ asked

"Try the galley" then they ran off the bridge and down the stairs.

"We know what they want ma'am" charge said smiling

"Yes we do charge"

Later that evening every one showed up at the bar for drinks and meal. Mike told the crew about what happen the week before with the owners of the yachts that has there equipment stolen and what Emma said which made every one laugh not knowing that three of the boat owners were watching them from in side. They saw what happen when Mike, Kate and kids walk into the pub and the way the kids went to greet the crew.

"that little girl sure is special to them"

"Yes she is" they heard what mike said which cause the crew to laugh especially when Emma said

"Uncle Leo you know what dad talking about" she said grinning

"Yes I do"

"Have you learn your lesson"

"no" the crew said then laugh.

They talk and laugh over the next few hours before Mike, Nav, bomber and Swain took there families home.

The next morning Bird woke up when some one was knocking on her door so she got up and went to see who it was. She smile when she saw who it was, so she unlock the door and open it

"Ryan when did you get here" he walk in closing and locking the door

"Last night" they hug and kiss

"where are you staying"

"I miss you" bird smile

"I miss you to"

Then she held on to his hand and pull him into her bedroom where they kiss and remove each others clothes before getting into bed where they made love before falling asleep in each other arms with smiles on there faces. Few hours later they woke up at the same time.

Ryan lean over and kiss Jessica "How long is Hammersley in port for?"

Hour later they walk out of Jessica flat and walk down to where a taxi pulled up. They got in and headed to the mall to meet up with Terri then to do some shopping.

That night spider, Terri and Ryan return back to Jessica place with there Christmas shopping, food and drinks. They talk and laugh about different stories about what happen on Hammersley which had every one in fits of laughter plus they were partly drunk.

"spider, Terri why don't you two stay here the night"

"where would we sleep" spider asked

"i got an air bed, I'll go and get it out" Jessica stood up and walk into her bedroom then return with the pump and air bed.

The four of them work together to get the air bed out of the bag and pump up, then Jessica went and got pillows, sheets and blankets out of the cupboard and they made the bed up in a minute. When done spider and Terri collapsed on it

"Well see you two in the morning" bird said as she and Ryan walk to wards the bedroom with Jessica saying

"don't do any thing I wouldn't do" she gave them a wink.

Few minutes later Jessica was snuggling up to Ryan side when they heard noses coming from the living room, knowing what spider and Terri were doing. Ryan turn to Jessica and gave her a kiss which became passionate then they made love them selves before slowly falling asleep in each other arms when they heard

"billy you animal you" Causing them to chuckle
