"bird would of gone to the beach to radio the ship we on for help" Dutchy said
"Where is your ship"
"On the other side of the island, we had to stop since we his a ghost net not far from here"
"Those brothers set that net up on our way here so the boat have no choice but to be close to this island cause the radios don't work unless there another boat twenty miles away" Alex said
"How do you know this" RO asked
"they told us, they said it a dead spot that why they choice this island cause of it"

"I get it"
"Dutchy how your leg" Two dads asked when she saw the big blood stain on his pants
"I'll be alright"
"spike you are so stupid in running like you did, what were you thinking" Two dads said
"At lest I tried you did nothing"
"We not dumb like you are plus bird would have been looking for us soon as she knew some thing was wrong" RO said
"Because of your stupidity Dutchy risk his life in saving yours and look what he got for it"
"so what at lest he will have bird looking after him when we get back, I bet he would like that wouldn't you Dutchy"
"Shut up spike" two dads said
"i agree" RO said
"Why cause you both know Dutchy got a thing for her"
"She a friend and a valuable crew member." Dutchy said. Spike laugh
"don't be surprise if the captain transferred you to some where else" RO said
"Yeah on to Melbourne then we can tell buffer and spider about you, you wouldn't last one patrol under buffer"
"Is he like Dutchy here"
"Worse" Two dads said
When bird, Jodie and Travis reach the beach, bird made Travis sit down then she got one of the radios out of her back pack

"copy bird a team will be there in ten minutes"
"copy that. Have swain bring stretcher and kit, Dutchy was shot with a cross bow ma'am"
"copy that bird" then she look around then pull Travis up and walk to a hidden spot with the women
"Here hide here just in case his brother comes this way" She look around and pick up piece of log and pass it to her
"if he try to escape or make a noise hit him here" she pointed to the guy head
"It would knock him out but not kill him"
"Ok how would I know what navy look likes, I'm from New Zealand"
"they will be wearing the same clothing, if they call out for me you show you self and tell them that I'm going after my crew mates and Alex, ok"
"ok"
She made Travis sit down then she tie his shoe laces together "Now he can't get far" She stood up
"You going to be ok"
Then bird ran back the way she came till there was shots fired, she turn to see Henry reloading so she turn and ran another direction till she fell down a embankment. When she got up she quickly look up and turn and ran over to a fallen log. She was able to look up to see Henry stop and look around then they heard a twig snap so he ran towards it.
Bird relax then turn around then gasp when she saw what was in front of her. She wanted to scream but knew if she did she would of alerted Henry to where she is. So she manage to get out and ran again to the camp site. When she got there she look around then quickly got to two dads since he was the closest
"Two dads" she got the keys out of her pocket and manage to unlock one of the cuffs
"bird are you ok"
"Yeah, I'll distract the guy while you uncuff the others and get to the beach, I've radio Hammersley for help"
"what about the women and the other guy"
then there was shot fired, Henry miss Bird got up and ran to the other side of the camp when Henry shot at bird again and miss so he ran after her. When he was out of site. Two dads quickly got up and went to RO and uncuff him then spike. Then Dutchy and Alex. Two dads and RO help Dutchy to his feet
"what did bird say to you" Dutchy asked
"Head to the beach she already called Hammersley for help"
"what about the brother and the women"
"she didn't get a chance to say when that guy shot at her"
"ok lets go before he returns" they slowly made there way to the beach.
At that same time Jodie heard and saw a HRIB show up at the beach then she saw armed people get out of the HRIB when they heard gun fire
"Bird are you here" Jodie relax then stood up
"Over here" she said.
They turn to the women "come out from there ma'am"
"One of the brothers is here, he tied up"
"Swain go and take a look" Swain ran over to where Jodie is
"Are you ok ma'am"
"Yes, he try to kill me" Swain wave the others over so they ran over to where they are.
"i remember you" Ryan said looking at the guy who look shock when he saw Ryan.
"you know him Ryan" Charge asked
"Yeah he offer bird and me a cheap charter yesterday, him and his brother"
"come on mate up you get"
"your friend she tie his boot laces together so he couldn't run"
"that sounds like bird" Swain undid the guy boot laces while XO give Kate a sip rep.
When the guy was standing up they heard shots fired "come on let's get these two back to Hammersley" the XO said
They took Jodie and Travis to the HRIB and put them in it then one of the crew went with them back to Hammersley.
"Let's go and find the others" then they headed in land but spread out they stop when they heard noises so they hid till they saw who it was then they showed up.
When Dutchy and the others saw who showed up they were happy to see them. RO and two dads sat Dutchy to the ground when swain ran over and crouch down
"where bird" Swain asked
"distracting the other guy did you find the women"
"Yeah and the other guy. They will be back on Hammersley now" Swain said
"Ok, bird she did good" Dutchy said
Swain look at where the arrow is then he quickly put a temporary dressing onto it when they heard gun shot

"go" XO said then then the HRIB back up and turn around and head towards Hammersley who just showed up.
"spread out" XO said as they heard back a few meters in land.
They hid when they heard noise. Ryan saw it was bird, she was heading towards him she he move from his hiding spot and pulled bird to him and back in his hiding spot. She went to fight him
"Jess it me" she stop and turn to him

"Sir I got bird" Ryan said in his head set
"copy that" then they saw Henry tuning toward where bird is when they all appeared point there weapons at Henry
"Austrian navy put your weapon down" XO said.
Henry stop when they appeared he put the weapon down then raise his hands then he look around when he saw bird and Ryan together. Then one of the crew members step ford and put ties on Henry hands then they walk to the beach.
"Are you ok bird" Ryan asked

"from what I could see... about twelve possible more in a swamp"
"Ok all you you head back to the beach, Bird can you show me where it is"
"Yes sir"
While the others head to the beach, bird show the XO where the bodes are. When he saw them
"Oh my god" then he got onto his radio
"Charlie eight two, Captain can you contact NAVCOM, we going to need the feds here"
"Why is that X"
"Bird came across a...swamp full of human remains... I've just..." Every one on the bridge then heard what the XO said then they heard him being sick and they waited
"sorry about that ma'am, we got the other brother"
"copy that X, I'll let NAVCOM know"
