"What" Dutchy said upset
"You're right, I don't belong here" Bird said grabbing a seat on her rack
"Bird, I didn't mean it like that" Dutchy said crouching in front of her
"And then Lacie comes along and you all fall head over heels for her. She's just a girl, just like me and you all act so strange" Bird said
"Hey, the only one acting different is 2DADS" Dutchy said placing his arm around her neck
"No. You never get angry at me Dutchy, you've never spoken to me before like that" Bird said moving his arm
"I was just scared; I'm worried you might get hurt" Dutchy said
"Well, if I get hurt, It'll be my problem" Bird said getting up
"Come on Bird, I said I was sorry. I'll talk to 2DADS about how his treating you" Dutchy said getting up and walking towards the door
"Don't bother" Bird said walking out of her room
Spider walked onto the bridge and saw Lacie and 2DADS together, he walked up to them he had to hold back from punching 2DADS in the face
"Cut bird a break yeah?" Spider said angered
"A break from what?" 2DADS said
"You've been treating her like shit" Spider shouted
"I haven't done anything" 2DADS said
"You're so far up Lacie's ass, that you've forgotten about Bird, and started treating her the way Lacie had been" Spider said
"Whoa Whoa. Hold up Spider" 2DADS said getting up
"Can she not come and confront us herself? Does she need her little 'possy' "Lacie said
"Shut up Lacie. 2DADS did you now she's saying she's leaving the navy?" Spider said angered
"What?" 2DADS said concerned
"Yeah, you didn't know that. Did you?" Spider said walking off to the bridge
2DADS was shocked when Spider blurted that out about Bird. Lacie didn't care and told 2DADS that she would just be saying it. Spider went and started his afternoon watch, he was quiet throughout the watch, and the crew knew that something was up. Spider was never quite. He was the one to be making all the conversation and the laughs. There was a vessel just on the radar, they called in but got no response, Mike decided he wanted Kate to board the vessel. He wanted her to take Bird with them.
"HANDS TO BOARDING STATION HANDS TO BOARDING STATION HANDS TO BOARDING STATION" Kate bellowed across the ships speakers.
She saw Bird on the deck and went to go and talk to her.
"Bird" Kate smiled
"Yes Ma'am?" Bird asked
"The CO wants you to join this boarding, so get geared up" Kate told her
"Alright" Bird said smiling. She was happy, she never really went on boarding's that much, she didn't have that much gun experience, but since it was just an inspection the XO and CO thought it would be some experience to ease her nerves
"What's she doing here?" Lacie said angered climbing aboard the RHIB
"She's coming with us on the boarding" Kate said jumping into the RHIB
"Is there a problem or something Lacie?" Swain asked
"Yeah, well she's just going to hold us up" Lacie said snarling at Bird
"Alright Lacie, I don't know what your problem is with Bird, but she's coming on the boarding, if you have an issue don't come" Kate said to Lacie pointing her hand to get out
"I'll just have to deal with it I suppose" Lacie said rolling her eyes
"Get a grip, AND STOP ACTING LIKE A 5 YEAR OLD" Swain shouted to Lacie
"What is it gang up on Lacie day for having an opinion" Lacie said
"It's been gang up on Bird day, for days" Bird mumbled
"Shut up Bird, no one likes you!" Lacie shouted
"Ready to lower?" Charge said
"No. No wait" Kate shouted
"Lacie, get out now" Kate instructed
"What!" Lacie said scowling
"If you can't work as a team, get out" Kate shouted
Lacie climbed out of the boat snarling, she looked at Bird and tutted. Kate looked a Bird and gave her a smile. Bird put a fake smile on her face.
The team boarded the vessel, they were having radio problems, Kate ordered 2DADS to fix the radio. When they arrived back on board Hammersely Kate went and talked to Mike about the way that Lacie had been treating Bird. Mike told her there was nothing he could do, till Bird spoke up, or if they saw something. Kate explained that the crew had seen different incidents.
"Hey Bird" 2DADS said as he saw her walk through the corridor
"Yeah?" Bird said stopping
"Um. I'm really sorry if I've been hurting you. I feel really bad" 2DADS said in a sincere voice
Bird cleared her voice "You have been hurting me" Bird said
"I know I never should have done those things, I feel really really bad" 2DADS said reaching to give her a hug
"Is Lacie coming out for drinks?" Bird asked hugging 2DADS
"Uh.… yeah. I think she is" 2DADS told her
"I don't think I'll come then" Bird said letting go of 2DADS
"Please Bird. I want you to come, everyone wants you to come, please" 2DADS exclaimed
"Okay" Bird said going to her cabin to get changed.
2DADS went one way and Bird went the other. She was walking down the corridor when she saw Lacie coming her way here we go she said to herself. Lacie walked by staring at her, she barged past her knocking Bird into the wall, what Lacie didn't know was that Kate was right behind her and saw every move she was about to make.
"Don't we give way to ranks on this boat" Lacie said pushing past Bird
"Uh. No we don't Lacie, things are different on this boat" Kate said
Lacie stopped in her tracks "oh. I was just joking around" Lacie said covering up what she just did
"No you weren't" Kate said walking up to her
"You are supposed to be a leader, set a role model for our younger members, you're not the leader type are you" Kate said
"I am Ma'am. It's just that Bird hasn't been making me feel that welcome to the boat" Lacie said
"What! You're the one who has been making me feel uncomfortable, and I've been here longer" Bird said storming off to get clothes out of her cabin
"You need to change your attitude Lacie, and the way you speak to Bird" Kate said before following Bird to check up on her
"Bird?" Kate said knocking on the cabin door
"Can I get ready in your cabin please" Bird asked holding her clothes and make up bag
"Ofcourse" Kate said wrapping her arm around Bird
(….)
The boys were waiting on the dock for the girls to come out, they were always the last out, the boys never knew why they had to get so dressed up for drinks. They didn't understand what girls where thinking. The first two to come out were Kate and Bird. Kate was wearing a nice pair of jeans and a white Lacy top. Bird stepped out in a short black dress, it was beautiful, her hair was straightened and she had make-up on. The boys' jaws dropped when they saw her walk out.
"She looks hot" 2DADS said rubbing his hands together
"Keep your mouths closed boys, you'll attract flies" Swain said laughing
Bird and Kate walked up to the boys, Kate and went and stood by Mike. While Bird went and stood in front of Spider, he placed his arms around her neck, she held his hand while they waited for Lacie to get ready
"You look amazing" Spider whispered in Birds ear
Bird smiled and looked up at him
"Come on Lacie, if she doesn't hurry up will lose our table" Buffer said impatiently
"She's coming now" 2DADS said pointing towards the deck
"mmmmm. Finally" Mike said
Lacie walked over and apologised for being late. They all caught a taxi to the bar. They went and sat down at their table, 2DADS brought the first round. Bird was very quiet, and sat next to Spider and Buffer. 2DADS brought back over the drinks, he handed Bird her guava juice, Bird wasn't able to drink. Bird was only 17 so she wasn't the legal age yet
"Must be boring sitting around a bunch of drunken sailors and you can't drink" Lacie said sculling down her beer
"I'm immune to it now" Bird said looking at Lacie
"hmph" Lace huffed and snarled at Bird
"You alright?" Spider whispered to Bird
"Yeah" Bird whispered back smiling
"What are two lovers talking about?" Swain said jokingly to Spider and Bird
"Nothing" Bird said smiling to Swain
"I didn't think you were allowed relationships in the navy?" Lacie said placing her hand on 2DADS leg
"I was joking Lacie" Swain said rolling his eyes
"What are doing?" 2DADS said whispering to Lacie, pushing her hand of his leg
"Nothing, what's your problem?" Lacie said snarling
"Who wants another round?" Lacie asked the group
The crew handed their glasses to Lacie. She went to the bar and got the crew all the same drinks. She pulled out her bag, she got out a packet of tablets, and placed 1 tablet into Birds drink, she waited for it to sink to the bottom
"Bird, I don't want you to feel intimidated or anything by Lacie" Kate said worried
"It's okay, it's getting better" Bird said putting a forced smile on her face
"Did you tell them about the pie?" Swain asked nervously
""Uhh.." Bird said looking around
"..Pie. What pie? Swain what are you talking about?" Kate asked concerned
"It's nothing" Bird said shrugging it off
"Swain?" Mike asked unimpressed
"I walked in the other day and Bird was cleaning up pie that had been thrown all over the floor…. She had custard thrown all over her uniform too…..Lacie did it" Swain told the crew
"WHAT!" Buffer shouted
"Why didn't you tell us? Was it just her?" Kate asked
"Yes, it was only her" Bird said covering for 2DADS
"Here we go drinks all around" Lacie said placing the tray on the table interrupting the conversation
The crew went silent when Lacie returned. They all sat around in silence, Kate was watching Bird, and Buffer was watching Lacie.
"Wanna dance?" A tipsy Spider said breaking the silence to Bird
"Sure" Bird said smiling and grabbing Spiders hand
"HAHAH! Look at Spide's dance moves" A slightly drunk 2DADS laughed
"You couldn't do better" buffer chuckled
"You can't even dance" Dutchy said laughing
"You wanna make a bet?" 2ADS said
"What is it with you and betting or poker games" Lacie laughed
The crew didn't join in her laughter and ignored her
Bird started to feel different, she became a little crazy. She was yelling and cheering louder than anyone else back at the table. The crew were laughing, they all thought that she was just over excited about the R&R
"Someone hasn't had some R&R in a while" Mike laughed
"I'll buy another round" Lacie said picking up the glasses
"I'll be back" Bird said jumping up
"Where you going?" Spider asked concerned
"To the bathroom, then to DANCE! She shouted over the loud music
2DADS walked over to give Lacie a hand carrying the drinks back to the table. He was about to confront her about the incident with Bird when she pulled her bag out again and pulled out another tablet, 2DADS saw her drop it into Birds drink
"What are you doing?" He said concerned "What did you just put in her drink" He shouted
"Nothing" She smiled
"Lacie, what the hell are you doing?" 2DADS said shouted
"Oh lighten up, it's just a little drug, she won't remember. It'll be our little secret" Lacie winked at 2DADS
"NO….N-N-N- wait? Is this why she's been acting so weird?" 2DADS yelled
"Yeah of course" Lacie said smiling
"SHIT" 2DADS said running over to the crew
"Guys, where's Bird?" 2DADS said worried
"uh. She's…" Spider looked around "I'm not sure…."
The crew became worried when they couldn't find her. Bird was in a corner making out with a guy she had never met before.
"Lacie put something in her drink" 2DADS said
"WHAT!" the crew shouted
"What was it?" Swain asked concerned
"I don't know" 2DADS said
"BIRD!" Spider shouted while running over to her. He pulled her off the guy; she turned around wrapping her arms around Spiders neck
"We need to take you back to Hammersely" Spider said
"I don't wanna go!" Bird shouted
"Look mate, she doesn't want to go so just leave her" Said the guy kissing her, he pulled her back
"I'm fine here Spider-r-r" Bird said clinging to the other guy
"Bird, Lacie slipped something into your drink come on" Spider said pulling her back
"Everything okay Spider?" Dutchy said seeing Bird all over the other guy
"No, she won't come" Spider said reaching to grab her again
"Come on Bird" Dutchy said grabbing her arm
"Look, I don't think your handling her very nicely, leave her alone" The guy said
"Mate, you don't even know her" Dutchy said becoming angry
The next second the guy swang his fist around punching Spider in the face, Spider fell to the ground. Dutchy quickly got him up and made sure he was fine. Dutchy picked Bird up and carried her bride style through the club
"What the hell did you give her?" Buffer shouted at Lacie
"A little drug to knock her out, so we can have some fun" Lacie said
"WHAT DRUG DID YOU GIVE HER!" Buffer yelled
"I slipped a couple of Date Rape Drugs in there. She'll be out of it soon, then we can enjoy ourselves" she said picking up her bag
"You idiot!" Buffer yelled
Kate and Mike walked over to Lacie
"You better get back to the boat quicksmart, and don't you dare think about coming out of your cabin" Kate said, then her and Mike walked off
"Spide" Bird said
"Yeah?" Spider said reaching over and rubbing her forehead
"I feel like I'm going to be sick" Bird said
Dutchy placed her onto the ground outside the club; Bird was acting like she was intoxicated, Swain rushed out to where she was. He told the boys that we needed to get her back to the boat, or if she gets worse, she will need to go to the hospital. Bird threw up several times, when she had finished she got up and started walking, the boys were with her when she collapsed onto the ground
"BIRD!" Spider shouted trying to wake her up
Swain got his two fingers and placed them on Birds wrist to check her pulse, he lent over her chest to hear her breathing, her pulse was weak and her breathing was shallow. Swain became worried when Bird wouldn't wake. He made Dutchy call the ambulance
"Bird, come on Bird open your eyes" Swain said giving Bird a bit of a shake
Spider started to freak out, 2DADS came running out and did the same when he saw Bird on the floor. The rest of the team came out and huddled around Bird.
"This is all my fault" 2DADS said beginning to panic
"2DADS, you wouldn't have known" Mike said re-assuring him
"I feel so bad" 2DADS said
" The ambulance is here" Buffer said pointing towards the end of the road
"You'll be alright" Swain said rubbing Birds shoulder
"2DADS did Lacie say how many she put in her drink" Swain asked
"No….No. she just said tha-" 2DADS was saying before being cut off by Buffer
"Lacie said a couple" Buffer said to Swain
"What happened?" The medics asked
"Someone slipped 2 Date Rape Drugs into her drink" Kate said
"Alright, do we know it was two for sure?" The medic asked checking Birds pupils
"She said she put a couple in there, so I'm guessing two" Buffer said concerned
Spider was rubbing Birds head, and staying close to her, he wouldn't leave her side, when the medics asked him to move so they could get access to her arm he wouldn't budge. Dutchy and Buffer had to grab him each with one arm and move him. They loaded her up and put her into the van. Spider wouldn't accept No when they told him he wasn't allowed to ride with her, he begged them they finally allowed him to ride in the back.
(…..)
They arrived at the E.R with them rushing her into a cubicle. Spider was standing there helplessly as they stuck needles into her arms, and stuck a tube down her throat, Spider began to freak out
"What...What, are you doing?" Spider asked jumping to Birds side
"We need to get the drugs out of her system" The doctor said putting charcoal through the tube
"She will be okay" The nurse said rubbing Spiders shoulder
"Is there any family we can call for her?" The nurse asked
"Ah no.. I need to call my colleagues though" Spider said
"Oh..Okay" The nurse said
"Oh were all pretty close, were like a family. Were in the Navy" Spider said to the nurse
Spider called the rest of the crew, who met him in the E.R. Bird still hadn't woken yet. Dutchy, 2DADS, Spider and Buffer waited by Birds side. The rest of the crew went back to the boat, but made sure they kept in touch with the boys. It was around 2:00am in the morning when Bird started to stir.
Spider's hand was holding Birds. She started to move her fingers slowly, starting to grip onto his hand.
"Bird?" Spider asked rubbing her shoulder
"mmmmm" Bird groaned and started opening her eyes
"Hey. Hey, it's okay…You're in hospital" Spider said rubbing her head
"What?..." Bird said looking around puzzled still half out of it
"You're drink was spiked" Spider said concerned
Bird sat up forced by her stomach and threw up all over the blanket that was over her. Spider became concerned and called for the nurse, waking up the boys in doing so, The nurse came in and changed the blanket, and helped clean her up. She told the boys that Bird would still be a bit out of it from the sedation in the drugs.
