On Hammersley who are close to docking at Cairns.

"Sir Phone call form HMAS Chandlers for you" RO passes Mike the stat phone

"Thanks RO"

"HI Mike it is me"

"Hello me what can I do for you" Mike has a big grin on his face

"I am warning you of a situation so you don't get a surprise when we dock in 1 hour"

"What you mean you docking in 1hour you meant to be on patrol for 2weeks. Hang on situation Kate what the hell has happened this time." Mike is not looking at all impressed Swain can see he is worried.

"Just another attack on our bridge but this time I got injured more than last time. I need to go to the hospital and get my shoulder checked well Jones thinks I need surgery on it but I think I am fine."

"Kate what has happened to your shoulder that requires an ambulance" Mike is looking worried

"Jones thinks I have a bullet in it"

"WHAT THE HELL KATE. How the hell did it happen this time twice in less than 2 weeks is not on?" Everyone on the bridge of Hammersley looks at Mike

"Hey at least my XO has lasted longer than that" Kate tries to change the subject

"Don't change the subject here Kate. You are going to the hospital regardless and if I have too I will bloody well take you myself understood."

"Yea, yea whatever you say" Buffer laughs at this and Kate is trying hard not too. At this the XO walks back on to the bridge.

"Anyway I just rang to let you know what is happening so you did not panic"

"Don't you worry I will panic and I will be coming with you got it"

"Yea whatever you say. Anyway see you in an hour"

"Ok Kate sees you in an hour" they both hang up. Mike is not impressed

On Hammersley Swain decides to talk to Mike.

"Sir is everything ok"

"No Swain Chandlers has had another attack on their bridge but this time Kate got shot in the shoulder she thinks she is total fine and there is nothing wrong with her."

"That sounds like her boss"

"Yea it does thou I am not impressed about this 2 attacks of gun fire on the bridge in 2 weeks something is not right"

"Yea sounds dodgy to me boss"

"Anyway Swain the Chandlers will be docking in an hour I am going with Kate to the hospital to make sure she does as she is told. Can I leave you here in charge?"

"Sure Boss and we will came and check on her once we are done here"

"Thanks Swain"

On HMAS Chandlers

"Mam you did not tell me his xo did not last" Replies Buffer

"His XO lasted all of 5days before he had them replace has another female one again thou from what I saw of her I think she has ideas about him"

"Well mam thank goodness for the rules then" Buffer gives Kate one of those cheeky grins

"Yes thank god for the rules. Anyway we are docking in an hour I am going to go down and get a few things sorted before we dock as I will be leaving straight away with spider. Buffer I leave you in charge of docking and making sure all is sorted out"

"Yes Mam"

"Boss shouldn't that be my job making sure everything is done I am the 2IC on Chandlers" replies the X

"Sorry X but right now I do not trust you I trust Buffer and so I am leaving him in charge if you have any problems then inform Maxine at Navcom. Right I am off"
