CH 18

When MacGyver returned to the camp, she walked around and grabbed what she could then went into the bushes to set up the guns that she had gotten. then she lit the matches and ran over to the second gun and did the same. As she returned to her position she heard the first gun go off. Ray Walsman sent some men to where he heard the gunfire. Then the second gun went off and he sent some men to investigate that one.

Once they were gone she ran in fighting the last four, including a karate kick to Ray. Grabbing her bag and his laptop she ran back into the bushes with Walsmans men after her. She took the path that would lead her back to the beach.

When the shore party found the X, they went ashore and followed the path. They saw strips of duct tape on branches so they followed them until they heard someone running. Ducking into the brush, they hide until they saw MacGyver running towards them with the mercenaries on her tail. When she saw Buffer she gave him an arm signal, when she was close he put his hand out and she grabbed it and he pulled her to his chest. She lifted up four fingers.

"X, there are four, I repeat four on MacGyver's trail," he said over the radio.

"We see them." Then the crew show themselves surrounding the four men, who had no choice but to surrender.

"I'll be back, this will make the Captain's day," she passed the laptop to Kate.

"It's Ray Walsmen's". Taking Spider's gun, she ran back to where Jim is, she noticed that ET and Swain were following her until she got to Jim.

"Jim," he turns to Swain and ET.

"Hi, guys."

"I'll be back," MacGyver told them.

She ran back to the camp.

"Where did she go?" Swain asked.

"To check on the camp, if it's still there. Here's another one." He untied the boot laces and made the guy stand up, "duct tape" ET said.

"Yeah, it works wonders."

"I can tell." When MacGyver reached the campsite they were packing up.

She saw the boxes of ammo together so she raised her gun and pointed at it. "Hey Walsmen, you can run but you can't hide" They turn around and face her.

"Shoot her!"

MacGyver fired one bullet at the boxes which caused them to blow up. She turned and ran back to where Jim and the others were waiting.

"Let's get out of here, I just pissed Walsmen off!" They took off heading back to the others.

"What was it that you blew up, June?"

" Their extra boxes of ammo."

"Good for you," ET said.

"Let's go home."

"Good idea."

"Boy have I got a great story to share with Mike about Walsmen and Ballenbaan." When they all return to Hammersley, Kate, Jim and MacGyver walk up and onto the bridge.

"Jim, MacGyver." Mike greeted them.

"Mike this is a surprise," they shook hands.

"Yeah, it's only for this short rescue mission."

"Ok, well thanks for following us."

"No problem," Kate and MacGyver were looking at Ray Walsmen's laptop.

"What are you doing, MacGyver?"

"Come and take a look. RO, you're going to be sending a lot of information to NAVCOM."

"Why that?" Mike asks.

"I got the bonus prize once again, Ray Walmen's laptop and it has everything on it, from plans on mining the island, mercenaries, crates of ammo and guns, everything." Mike looked at what was on there.

"My gosh, this will stop him once and for all!"

"There's more sir," she showed him a memory chip.

"It's a recording of Ray Walsmen and Ballenbaan, the order to have me killed and everything. Sir, Ballenbaan, he's just a puppet. As I have suspected, Ray Walsmen's calling all the shots, it's all on here. RO can you make copies of this also?"

"Sure, but I don't know if it will fit on Hammersley's camera."

"It will."

"Ok," she passed him the laptop and video chip.

"What else can you tell us?"

"I screwed up his plans once again, he must have his boat close by since they were heading northeast."

"There is a large boat on radar," Nav said.

"He could be heading there with the man himself and the question is where?"

"We'll worry about that later, you and Jim have done great."

"Thanks, Sir, now if you will excuse us, we are going to need four things."

"What four things?" Kate asked.

"Shower, food, drink and sleep it's been a long night for us both."

"You both deserve it, Spider show Jim down to one of the cabins and get a toilet kit and clothes for him."

"Yes, Sir."

"Thanks, Mike," Jim said. MacGyver and Jim walk down the steps with Spider right behind them.

It was early evening when Hammersley Docked. Both Jim and MacGyver managed to get four hours of sleep before being woken up with the announcement over the PA system about close-up parties. They left Hammersley and went to their own homes. Later MacGyver showed up at Jim's place with take away dinner and wine. They had that and the wine and dessert afterwards. They went to bed early as they were both were still tired.

The next morning they both got a text message from NAVCOM. MacGyver left for her place to have a shower, dress in her uniform, and drive to NAVCOM. Then she was walking toward NAVCOM from the car park, she saw Jim.

"Hey," he said smiling at her.

"Hey, let's go and see what Commander Marshall wants to see us about. My guess is he wants our testimony about what happened yesterday."

"You could be right." They walk into the bullpen and see Mike and Steve talking.

"Commander Marshall, Sir," they all saluted each other.

"MacGyver I've spoken to the acting president and he's waiting to read your report about what happened."

"I can do mine now Sir, but I don't know if captain Roth has got time to do his."

"I can do mine also, Commander."

"Very well, this way." Steve brings them over to two laptops and they sat down and got started.

"Let me know when you're finished."

"Yes, Sir." Placing their hats on the table they started writing up everything that happened.

They work on their reports until lunchtime then took a break for lunch at a cafe that's close by to NAVCOM then returned back to the report. By the end of the day, it was complete. They printed them and saved copies on pen drives. Then they took them into Steve's office and then left together making dinner plans.

A month later, after returning from their patrol, MacGyver was called back into Steve's office. "Sir, you wanted to see me?"

"Yes, this way." Steve brings her to one of the conference rooms where the wall screen is. Steve gave the operator a nod then a picture popped up. MacGyver realizes that it is Skype.

"Sir, this is Petty Officer McGinnis."

"You're a woman."

"When I last checked I was, Sir. Is there something I can help you with?"

"I've read your report about what happened to you and your friend Captain Jim Roth."

"Is there something wrong with our reports, Sir?"

"I want you to be honest with me."

"Of course, Sir."

"Regarding what you said in your report and the video, what is your opinion of Mr Walsmen?"

"He's a manipulative, cunning, scheming cold-hearted, self-important, arrogant son of a bitch, Sir who cares about no one but himself. He doesn't care about the people on Samaru Island all he cares about is mining rights, not one or two but all mining rights. If he were to get them it will destroy not only the islands, but it will effect it will have on the environment and people's lives sir. Money is all that l he cares about.

I knew from when I first met Mr Walsmen that something didn't sit right, a gut instinct that I had. I told Commander Flynn this, he trusts me and he knows I'm right. He and the crew noticed things were happening and how Ray Walsmen was right in the middle of it. Sir, many people lost their lives because of what he has done. He's got to be stopped, Sir. If we don't there's going to be more bloodshed, more innocent people going to lose their lives.

We've got to stop him now, and all we need to do that, Sir, is your approval to go and find that son of a bitch and drag his sorry ass to prison where he belongs.

Commander Flynn and Commander Marshall told me yesterday that you saw everything that we have on Ray Walsmen and all we are your signature and a judge to issue a warrant for Ray Walsmen's arrest. If you do approve sir, on behalf of the Royal Australian Navy and Hammersley's crew, as Commander Flynn would say, we would have the pleasure to catch that fish and hand him over to you on a silver platter." She turned to see Steve grinning shaking his head then she turned back to the screen.

"You want to catch the fish..."

"Yes, Sir. Hammersley's crew would be honoured to go fishing. Unfortunately, Commander Flynn can't, not for another two weeks, Sir, but I'm sure Commander Marshall and Fleet Command would let him drive the boat while we fish."

He laughed, "You're funny, you know that Petty Officer Mcginnis."

"Thank you, Sir. The crew calls me MacGyver, Sir."

"I've been told that, is Commander Marshal there?" MacGyver stepped aside and Steve stepped up and stood next to MacGyver.

"Commander Marshall, I'll sign the arrest warrant for Ray Walsmen and I'll let Hammersley crew's go fishing," he said smiling.

"Yes Sir, I'll order the crash sail."

"Very well. MacGyver when the elections are over, I would like to meet you in person."

"I'd be honoured sir and good luck with the elections."

"Thank you" then the link was cut.

MacGyver turns to Steve, "that went well, Sir."

He chuckled, "Yes, it did."

"I'll let you tell Commander Flynn the news because I know he loves being out at sea while I'll head home to get my seabag."

They walk out to the bullpen, "good luck fishing."

"Thanks, Sir." They saluted each other before she turned and walked out of the bullpen.

An hour later, Hammersley left port and headed north with Mike aboard. Coastwatch had spotted Ray Walsmen's boat and gave Hammersley the coordinates. When they reach the boat Baxter hails them over the radio and then Mike calls hands to boarding stations. When the RHIB stopped at the back of Ray Walmen's boat, they boarded and Buffer and Kate step inside when Ray showed up.

"This is a surprise, what can I do for the Navy?"

"We've got a warrant for your arrest, Mr Walsmen," Kate informs him.

"Dad... what's going on?" Carly asked.

"I have no idea, Carly."

"Sir turn around," Buffer said

"What is this about?"

"Buffer step aside," Ray Walsmen went white as a ghost when he heard her voice, and then when Buffer stepped aside... "surprised to see me alive? Now turn around." MacGyver turned Ray around and had him cuffed him in seconds.

Then she turns him back around and walked him to the back of the boat.

"What's going on dad?"

"It's nothing darling, just some misunderstanding. Just don't believe what they're saying, it's all lies."

"Buffer holds him," Buffer took MacGyver's place and she got her phone, and did a couple of taps, then showed her the phone to Walsman and pressed play. It was a video of when Walsman ordered MacGyver killed. He was also talking about the other killing orders that he had given. When it finished MacGyver looked at Carly.

"This is what your father is truly like Carly. Many innocent people have been killed or wounded because of greed and power" then she walked over and got into the HRIB with the others. ET and Spider stay on board and sail Walsman's yacht to Samurai Island.
