Becca was in her office, working on some project for Naval academy. After her conversation with Peter two weeks ago he didn't show up in her office and he was avoiding it. Becca knew she was wrong. It wasn't his fault. She didn't ask who his wife was. And she was feeling guilty all this years. She couldn't look Nikki in her eyes.
She tried to focus on her work and took some papers but she cut herself on some sharp edge.
"Damn." Becca said as she took a tissue and wrapped around her finger.
"It is worse injury you can get when you are working in office." Kate said from doorway. Becca smiled.
"Can I kill someone with a paper?" Becca asked and Kate laughed as she sat in chair.
"I think you should ask someone from SAS. They would know that." Kate joked and looked into Becca. "What is wrong? You look like you swallowed a frog." Kate added and Becca laughed.
"Sort of." Becca said and sighed. "It is a mess. Nikki is new CO of Kingston. And I can't look her into eyes." Becca said.
"I know. I can't look Nikki in her eyes either." Kate said. "Maybe I shouldn't mess up in that 18 years ago." She added.
"It was for the best. If you didn't tell me who his wife was, then would be a hell. Even bigger." Becca said. "More than now." She added.
"What is this? Girls meeting? Is it safe for me to come in?" Peter joked from doorway.
"Something like that. Brake from messy days." Becca said and looked into her watch on her wrist. "Brake from messy morning." She added and laughed.
"Well I have to go. Having a meeting with Fleet commander." Kate said and raised up and walked out.
"When she is mentioning Fleet commander, I have to tell you that we are having a meeting with Fleet and Army commanders in 3 pm. We both have to be there." Peter said.
"I will seriously think to learn how to kill someone with a paper." Becca said and sighed. Peter laughed as he walked out of her office.
...
When was a time for meeting, Peter and Becca went to meeting office. Something wasn't right. They could see it on faces of all people in office.
"Commander Tomaszewski, I am sorry for urgent meeting but there is a serious threat for Cairns and Naval port. Hammersley get in touch with some details about planned terrorist activities here." Fleet commander said.
"We think that this is the biggest threat since terrorist attack 5 years ago." Mike added. "And it is highly classified." He added.
Rest of meeting pass talking about possible actions and details about things Hammersley had found. Hammersley was assigned for sea actions and possible engage with terrorists on sea.
"What sort of a mess." Peter said as he and Becca walked out of meeting.
"A lot of mess. And all this is a mess." Becca said and Peter looked into her.
"What is wrong?" Peter asked.
"Lauren is on Hammersley now. And what if she gets injured or get herself in danger? I wouldn't be able to survive if something happens to her." Becca said and played with her hat in her hands.
"Well knowing who is her mum she will be ok. She will be ok, as I am not so sure about Spider." Peter said and Becca laughed.
"He really has a bad luck. First me than Lauren." Becca said. "Poor Spider." She added.
"And Charge is still there. He will protect her too." Peter said.
"Yeah. Old good Charge." Becca said as she started to walk out of NavCom. Peter followed her out.
"Are you up to we go for a drink? After day like this..." Peter started.
"I would kill for a beer so sure, why not?" Becca said as they walked out and started to walk towards bar in port.
