Chapter 7

Bomber run into her cabin. She thought her heart will jump out from her chests. What if someone saw them on bridge? What if roumors start? How she could then looked in EJ? It was hard now too, when EJ didn't know anything, but how would it be hard to EJ finds out how she almost kissed with EJ's boyfriend. Even if it wasn't Bomber's fault. She pushed him away, even if it was hard for her to do it. Bomber wanted that Buffer kiss her, she wanted to he has some feelings towards her, but now he has to be there for EJ.
"You ok Bomb?" murmured Bird from uper rack.
"Yes. Have a good night Bird!" answered Bomber and ly in her rack.
"Good night!" murmured Bird and drifted back to her sleep.

0700 am morning watch

Buffer was in galley taking a brew. He barely slept last night when he finished with his watch. His relation with Bomber was very bad. Very, very bad. And on other side, there was EJ. EJ survived to much in her life and Bomber was wright, if he hurts EJ, she won't survive it. But he didn't like her, not at that way. He liked Bomber, but because of EJ, Bomber became too further for him.
"It is good to I find you. We need to talk." said Bomber when she entered in empty galley. "Bird is not here?"
"No. She is in the store." answered Buffer.
"We can't talk here..."
"I will wait you in sailor mess." said Buffer and went out from galley. Bomber sighed while she was taking a mug and put some fresh coffee in it. Then she walked towards sailor mess. She entered in it and shut the door closed.
"I don't know how much is clever to close a door, but I don't need unneccessary people to listen this." said Bomber and put her mug on table and sit by Buffer.
"You are wright. Bomber I am sorry about last night." said Buffer.
"It is ok, but I hope that never is going to happen again. Do you know what could happen that someone walk on bridge in that moment and saw how you tried to kiss me? We both will be faired from Navy." said Bomber and looked in Buffer.
"I didn't think about that..."
"You didn't think about anything. What would happen that EJ saw us? Her life would be destroyed again and I don't want it." said Bomber and rised.
"Because of her you are lieing about that in wardroom?" asked Buffer when he rised too.
"Buff..." started Bomber and looked in him, but he cut her off.
"Answer me on bloody question!" he yelled.
"Yes. Because of her I am lieing." yelled Bomber back. "And because of her, I am putting some distance beetwen us. We both need it." she added calmier.
"Bomber I don't love her. I don't even like her on that way..."
"I know. But she loves you. And she really needs you now." said Bomber and start to exit. She put her hand to open door when Buffer put his hand on her. Bomber turn and face him.
"Buff..." she started but didn't move her hand away.
"You are the woman what I like and love, not EJ." he said and came closer to her.
"Stop making this more difficult than it is." whishpered Bomber but didn't push him away.
"Bomb..."
"No Buff. It is not our time. And our time is never gonna came. And you know it." she said and walk out.
Bomber practicly jumped in front of Kate when she went out of sailor mess.
"You ok Bomb?" asked Kate worriedly.
"What?" asked Bomber noticing that Kate was talking with her. "Yes I am ma'am." she added.
"You sure? You practicly jump from sailor mess."
"Yes. Everything is fine. Just need some air." said Bomber and walk for a deck.
"You ok X? I mean ma'am." said Spider passing by Kate.
"Yes Spider I am fine. Do you know what is wrong with Bomber?" asked Kate and looked into leading seaman in front of her.
"Dunno. But it is Bomber and only people who can really piss her of are me and Buff. I didn't do anything, so ask Buffer." smiled Spider. Kate nodded.
"You are probably wright. They are like cat and dog." smiled Kate and walked for bridge.

"Are you tired Nav? Go, take some brew." said Bomber with smile.
"No, thanks Bomber. I am fine." smiled Nav on her friend.
"Nav, do you remember? Couple years ago, on Hammersley were just me and you from girls. Now Hammersley have us five." said Kate with a smile.
"Yeah. You are wright." agreed Nav.
"Hammersley became a girl ship." added Spider who was sitting for EOD and Bomber slap him on his head. All laughed.
"Ma'am radar contact!" said Nav and show on radar screen.
"Is it possible that these are our killers?" asked Kate looking on screen.
"Yes ma'am."
"Take us there Nav!" said Kate and took loud speaker. "XO to the bridge in the hurry." she added.

"We spoted our killers. Prepare boarding party. Make sure that they are well armed." said Kate looking into her XO.
