"alright, let's talk"
Dutchy got onto the other boat and they walk into the cabin where they were talking about the deal. Bird was sitting on the side deck looking through an open window when she saw a lap top and different photos were coming and going. She she got up and went to the wheel house to get the binoculars when swain craw into the wheel house after bird gave him a hand signal

"Well they blew it" Two dads walk over to them
"I hate to be in lieutenant commander Jacobson boots when captain gets hold of him she told him to back off he wouldn't listen. She gave us the heads up about what happen, boy she sounded piss off... Hammersley will be here soon and here Kingston now"
they saw HRIB's heading towards them then they stop and boarding team got on board when they recognised swain, charge, two dads, Dutchy and bird they were shock.
"your captain got a lot of explaining to do to our captain" Dutchy said angry
"Why, what going on" the Kingston XO asked
"Thanks to your captain not listening to our captain you blew our cover, we were working with ASIO agent on a important under cover mission" Dutchy said the boarding crew was shock
"sorry mate we didn't know" When Kingston stop close by the XO of the ship spoke to his captain
"sir your in a lot of trouble with captain of Hammersley"
"Why is that"

"He cursing right now"
"dose he know lieutenant commander McGregor"
"He met her a few times why"
"you will find out, she one hell of a task master and throat ripping debates, he wont stand a chance against her" charge said
"that bad" charge, swain and two dads nodded
"By the time Kate McGregor finish with your captain he would be shitting him self" two dads said
"Two dads" bird said shaking her head at him.
When Hammersley showed up the Kingston boarding team return back to there ship while Hammersley crew took the two men on to Hammersley then they took the two boats back to Kalewan.
On Kingston the captain was waiting for the boarding team to get out of the HRIB's "We heading back to Cairns"
"We still got another week sir" XO said
"I know I got some explaining to do about what happen here today"
"Is lieutenant commander McGregor going to be there sir" leader asked
"Yes why"
"We were told by her crew she one women you don't want to mess with" the leader said
"Meaning"
"From what we were told by the time she finish with you you would be shiting your self" XO said
"she one hell of a task master that is why Hammersley it the top patrol boat in the navy with what they have done. Hammersley crew put the rest of us to shame with there record" the XO said.
Then he turn and walk towards the hatch with the others behind him.
Once Hammersley reach port with the two boats not far behind the two men were taken away by the Kalewan police. Madeline cruse went with them. After ever thing sorted out they left port heading back to Cairns with Jim Roff still on board.
When they return back to Cairns they were just behind Kingston. Once both boats were dock both crews got the night off. Hammersley crew got a week off before leaving for there two week patrol.
When Kate got into the waiting navy car and it drove back to NAVCOM with the other navy car behind it.
"I wish I was there to see what happens" two dads said
"no you don't" swain said as they walk off Hammersley
"Why not" they talk as they go there separate ways.
