Part 11 ____________________________________________________________________________ USS Rockall and two of her crew. _____________________________________________________________________________ "USS Rockall to Jean Peterson, may we come aboard Captain?" The Rockall had slowed to the Jean's speed. "You will be welcome. Come to the starboard side." Paul and Colin went to the stern and connected the ladder to the winch and put it over the side. Scott asked the speed to be taken to 3 knots. They watched as an RIB was lowered with six men on board and made their way to the Jean. Four of them climbed on board and as far as Scott could see two officers and two other ranks, those two were armed. Scott went to the senior officer and put his hand out. "Welcome aboard the Jean Peterson Commander. I am Captain Scott Peterson." "Commander Hutchinson took Scott's hand and introduced himself. "May I introduce Lieutenant Harding, one of the Rockall's engineering officers." Scott shook hands with him and noted how handsome he was, but he was also looking at the armed escorts and not too pleased either. "May I ask why it is nessesary to have armed personnal with you Commander? I can assure you, you are perfectly safe on my ship." "I'm sorry Captain, just regulations." "Well you are more than welcome on board my ship, but I am not at all happy with these men armed as they are. I too have my own regulations Commander." Hutchinson looked at Scott and smiled. He turned to the men and told them to return to the Rockall. "Thankyou Commander. Can I introduce the 1st officer, Paul Smith, all three shook hands. "Lets go to my cabin." He turned and led the way down below." "May we use first names Scott, i'm David and this is Theo." "And this is "Tiny," but we call him Paul. Coffee?" Scott poured out and they all sat down. "So what do I owe the priviledge David?" "We heard your call yesterday and the Admiral thought we should come and see for ourselfes what you guys are about, afterall you did seem to survive the attemted attack and we wondered how. Before I was asked to come over we looked you up and it seems you did a great job rescueing the trawlermen from Iceland." "Oh right, yes we feel good about that and now we thought we would sail these waters and see if anyone eles needs a helping hand." He smiled at David and knew he would not buy that. "Well we see the rescue sign on the hull, but Scott we also know about your mother and my condolences about that dreadful time. As soon as we looked up your ships name the whole story about your mother came up and we just put two and two together." "And you want to know if we are here to blast the shits out of the water. Is that right?" "I would not blame you if you did, but it won't go down too well with, lets say, other authorities around the world Scott." "Ok, so you are here for information about us and I don't have a problem with that. We have not exactly advertised what we are about and this is not sponsored in any way by the British government. We are a private ship and are here mainly to escort my father ships through these waters and any other seas that pirates operate." Scott spoke at length and by the time he had finished the Commander and his Lieutenant knew all about the Jean and how they protected themselves and his fathers ships. "I will be more than happy to show you round the ship and you can see for yourselves how we can do that and also go to the aid of any other craft in our area if they too are under attack as well as give medical help if needed. Anyway lets go for a tour and I can introduce you to the crew. They are a great set of people and very skilled. Will you both stay for dinner?" "We would love to take a tour Scott and if I get permission from the Admiral, also stay for dinner, thankyou." "Lets start on the bridge then and you can call from there. Paul could you go and get everyone to their stations and wait for us?" "Ok skip." The Commander did get permission to stay and after two hours the tour had finished and they were sat in the saloon eating. They talked the whole way through the meal and it was a very freindly affair. After they had finished David asked if Scott and he could have a private meeting. Scott took him back to his and Andrew's cabin. "Look Scott this is no bullshit and I just want to say I find your ship fantastic and the job you guys are doing is very worth while for lots of reasons and I know I will be going back to say just that to Admiral Walker. I am convinced he will want to have you on board and work together. Another set of eyes and someone eles to report back to him will be well worth while. Look when I first saw you, well forgive me, but all I saw was a kid having fun, but my word not any more. You and your crew are extremly professional. This could be a Royal Naval ship as you guys have the highest standards of your Navy and that I know from my own experience having served with them for two years." Keep going mate i'm enjoying this! Scott thought, but then he already knew about his crew's high standards and abilities. It's a bit of a bonus that the Yanks know it now. "Thanks for that and yes, if Admiral Walker wants us to be part of his operations then we will be delighted. Of course our main reason to be here is to escort Dad's ships, but any other time we will sail where he wants us to be. Just simple communication." Scott was enjoying this. "I have got two more things to ask Scott if thats ok with you?" "Of course, shoot as you lot say." They both smiled at that. "Well when we were in the medical room Theo spoke to me and said he would love a tour for a couple of weeks with you and also one of our medical officers a Lieutenant Couples who he thinks would learn a lot with your doctor and nurse. Theo would love to work with your engineer, Neil. He is very impressed with the engine room and the obvious high standards of equipment. What do you think?" Scott thought about Theo and this other officer. Has Theo suddenly found himself in a position to have a couple of weeks fun with this guy, or is my gay mind a tad over active? He knew could not refuse, but these two were in for a hell of a shock if they were straight! "Absolutly David, they will be more than welcome. That will be up to the Admiral I suppose?" "Yes and the Captain, but I already know they will agree when I get back after what I am going to tell them." "You said two things?" David had a big grin on his face. "Just a big boy thing Scott. Can your RIB take us back, I would love to pop out of the stern door!" "And you thought I was the kid when we first met! Of course, no problem." Scott reached for his intercom. "Janet and Gerry to the boat deck please, we are transfering our guests back to the Rockall." After David had called his ship they closed to 200 yards and Scott made sure the stern could be seen from the Rockall. He had told David he would stand off and wait to hear if the two officers would in fact be coming to them. They shook hands and David and Theo got into the RIB with their life jackets on and they shot off down the ramp. Half hour later they got a call from the Rockall to say that the Admiral and Captain agreed that the two officers would come to them. Scott told them their RIB would collect them and once again Janet and Gerry went off. Scott had asked Janet to take them both on a tour when they arrived so the new guy could see the ship as well. Theo would just have to go through it again. He would meet them on the boat deck. As soon as they got out of the RIB Scott was sure about his thoughts when talking to David. I must be psyhic he thought! Theo was a handsome guy about 6ft 1 and seemed to be in great shape. Royston Couples was shorter, about 5 10, slim and not bad looking. He seemed rather shy which surprised Scott, but he wondered if was because he knew he was going to have the time of his life for the next two weeks and did not want to give anything away. A bit under pressure Scott wondered. "Welcome back Theo and welcome aboard Royston. I hope you have a good time during your time on the Jean. I know you have already been shown around Theo, but Janet will take you both on tour again. I have arranged your cabin, unless you want separate ones?" "We will be fine in the same cabin thankyou Captain." Theo said and Royston blushed. "Thats fine and when you have dumped your things in the cabin come to mine I would like a chat. Janet will show you were it is." She took them off and Scott grinned at Andrew. "Come on you, lets have some fun!" Andrew stared at Scott. "And what exactly do you mean by "fun?" Scott ignored that and dragged him off to their cabin. Once inside he pulled Andrew to him and kissed him. "Don't push it Limey. I have back up now, the US Navy is here don't forget." Scott let him go and stood away. "Well now let me think about that. Ok we have two gay US Naval officers and the reason they were so keen to come with us is so they can fuck the brains out of one another for a couple of weeks. Theo must have thought his birthday and Christmas came at the same time and my guess is Royston thought the same when he was told he was coming on board with him." Andrew went back to the kissing, but also to give himself time to think. "How do you know they are gay and presumably an item?" "Wait and see my precious, wait and see." Scott took Andrew to the bunk and laid on top of him and spent a long time doing to Andrew what he knew Theo and Royston would be doing as soon as they got to their cabin. Well he thought so anyway. "If we carry on like this we won't be able to reach the door handle when they get here, i'm as stiff as you are you bitch, get off me.............soon." Reluctantly Scott removed himself from Andrew. "I bet you a fuck they are gay AND an item Andrew." Their combined hardons had only just deflated when there was a knock on the door and there stood the two Americans looking rather lovely it has to be said. "I know it's a bit early, but what are your thoughts so far?" All four were sitting on the two coaches opposite each other. "Well for me your medical provision is as good as we have on the Rockall Captain and Reg and Paula are really nice people, i'm going to really enjoy these two weeks." I bet you are thought Scott. "I am already impressed Captain and like Royston I am really going to enjoy this experience." Both Scott and Andrew had broad grins on their faces. Andrew also knew he was going to loose the so called "bet". "What about the crew any thoughts?" Almost together they told Scott of the freindly welcome and that they already felt part of the crew. " Paul is a great guy and so massive! A good guy to have on your side to be honest." Said Theo. "Ok, i'm pleased you have good first impressions of us, but what I was hoping to hear is your thoughts about the whole crew being gay?" Theo and Royston looked at one another. Neither of them had even given it a thought they were too wrapped up in this amazing opertunity to have time together. It had all been so easy, but now alarm bells were ringing. "ALL of the crew Captain?" Theo was thinking about the crew they had met. None of them had displayed anything that could show him that any of them were gay, except now as Scott had put his arm around Andrew and pulled him in close. "I'm fairly sure you are both comfortable with this and you two can relax and be yourselves, at least while you are with us. We are all in relationships and we keep it private. "Oh my God this gets better and better." Royston got closer to Theo. "Come here my man, we have been busted." And with that he got Theo's left arm and put it around his shoulders and snuggled in. Theo just sat there still trying to come to terms with his luck. "My word, a whole gay crew, thats fantastic. No issues, no problems, no one to deceive. Fucking awesome Captain. Oh shit sorry!" "No problem at all and by the way it's Scott. The crew call me skip when the needs be, but that's not me saying they should, Paul started it. Right guys thats it, go to your cabin and don't come out for a couple of hours, then go to the bridge, Andrew is on watch and he will love to talk to someone in his own language for a change." Smiling broadly they left and almost ran to their cabin. "Take that smug look off your face,"Captain." So you were right, lucky guess thats all." Scott took Andrew in his arms and kissed him. "Think you need to go to the shower my dearest and we can do what a very small part of the US Navy are about to do." Andrew just kissed Scott and told him he loved him and went to carry out his Captain's request. Meanwhile the two new, but temporary crew reached their cabin and threw their arms round one another still not beleiving their luck. "This is going to be amazing Theo, just think two weeks and not having to hide. Hell, I could get used to this big time!" Theo did not reply but instead undressed Royston. They had not been together like this for four months, since shore leave back home in fact and both knew whatever was about to happen it would be quick for obvious reasons. In fact as it turned out it wasn't quick at all as both men, now naked and on the bunk spent a great deal of time kissing and looking into one anothers eyes still not believing their luck. Theo raised himself up on one elbow and looked down at Royston. "I love you Roy and I know we have a big problem don't we?" "Like what? I love you too." "Thats the problem! We love one another and although I would not want to change what neither of us knew was going to happen, we will fall even more in love and I just don't know how we will be when we get back to the Rockall." Theo stroked Royston's handsome cock almost absentmindedly. "Oh for fucks sake stop being so serious. There's plenty of time for that after we have had sex!" Royston, having told Theo off got him on his back and climbed on top and began to kiss his body all the way down south and finally arrived at his 7 inch hard cock and took him into his eager mouth. Theo put his arms behind his head and just let Royston get on with it. There maybe problems ahead, but not just now. After sometime of this Theo needed to join in and turned into a 69 and there they stayed each bringing the other closer to the inevitable climax. They reached it together and for the first time in months off loaded into their mouths. They laid together wrapped up in each others arms. Finally Theo spoke. "God we needed that Roy, but nil points for performance! I'm going to shower and see if you are still able to fuck me!" He kissed Royston and went to carry out private stuff. Royston indeed managed a very good performance as did Theo sometime later. Their timing was as good and after a shower together, just made it on watch in time. When they arrived on the bridge Scott had just arrived as well. Andrew was already there. All four of them looked at one another and the look on every face told the story! Theo and Royston became a full part of the crew within days. They were involved in every department and they impressed everyone with their commitment and enthusiasm. They loved working with all members of the crew, but in paticular with Marcell and Jon. They were like a couple of kids when they had a turn at flying the helicopters. What impressed them most was the practise attacks on the Jean's RIB and realising they were a great asset not only as a means of visual cover, but as a means of defending the Jean with their tear gas and stun grenades as well as defending attacks on other ships if they were able too. As the ship was unarmed the helicopters could in fact attack pirates before they were in range to fire on her. But what made it all so special for them both was the fact that everyone of the crew were gay and nobody had to hide anything. Okay, they could have just had fun and taken advantage of this unexpected opertunity to be together, but that was not the case and the whole crew liked them and enjoyed the fact that they had what all of them had, freedom and no shit attached! They were also about to find out how the Jean was in fact as effective as any other force within these pirate waters. Scott, Andrew, Theo, Royston and six of the crew were in the saloon when the phone rang from the bridge. It was Paula. "Skip there is a call from a cargo ship called the Northern Wanderer asking for medical assistance. She is 10 miles behind us. I have her on radar. She is sailing on our course at 8 knots. She is an Italian ship on course for South Africa" "Do they say what the problem is Paula?" "They have an injured crewman." "Ok Paula, call her and say we will respond. Turn towards her and go to full ahead. Reg and I are coming up." They got to the bridge and worked out it would take about an hour and a half for the Jean to get to the Wanderer. He asked Reg to call the captain and find out what exactly was the problem was. Meanwhile Scott got onto the intercom and let the crew know what was going on. "I have spoken to the captain and it seems one of the crew has fallen down a ladder and is still there in great pain. They have covered him in a blanket and given him water. I have told them what eles they can do, but i'm not sure it got through." Reg told Scott. Scott spoke to the Wanderer and asked the captain to go to full speed. "We will be with you within an hour Captain and our medical team will transfer to you and if nessesary bring your crew member onto our ship for treatment. When we come alongside you will you please go to 5 knots." "Yes sir we will. Please do hurry the guy is in much pain." Mmm, does a captain call another captain "sir?" Scott wondered. The Wanderer came into sight sailing towards them at full speed. Scott would have to pass her then turn 180 and go along side to transfer Reg and Paula. They were at the stern with all their medical equipment and Paul on the winch. Not that they were asked to, but the whole crew came up onto the bridge including Theo and Royston. Scott called the Wanderer and told them they were coming in to transfer a medical team and now reduce to 5 knots. All he was told was to hurry and Scott was sure a different guy came on the radio to talk, but still calling himself Captain. Scott was not able to workout the accent, but he was sure it was not Italian, not that it had to be of course. "He is dying, hurry." Dying because of broken legs? Scott was beginning to worry about this call for help. Reg was not here to ask. At the stern Reg and Paula were in the basket ready to transfer. Scott kept his glasses on the ship and became more worried. Something was wrong and he knew it. "Andrew don't go any closer." "Ok skip." Andrew altered course and they remainded at 200 yrds. "Problem skip?" George asked. "Not sure George. Garry have you got the camera on the ship?" "Yes skip." "Can you see anyone on deck?" "No skip." "Nor can I, everyone look." "Garry are we clear? I can't see anything on radar." "All clear except the Wanderer skip." The radio came on. "Why you not coming in? Please hurry very big problem." "Trouble with the winch. We will fix it soon." To everyone on the bridge. "If that was us waiting for some body to board because of an injury, wouldn't we be on deck?" He didn't wait for a reply. "Marcell go and start up. I need to check this out." "Yes skip." He shot off the bridge. Scott was in deep thought and the more he did the more he was convinced this was not right. "Jon you go and start up as well and wait for me." "Yes skip!" "Ok, i'm going to take bets. The Wanderer has already been taken, the pirates are trying to lure us in and take us as well, but now we have laid off them they will board a boat and attack us. I also think that in about 15 minutes or so the Wanderer will turn towards Somalia. I'm calling action stations. "Paul bring everyone in. We are not going." "Ok skip." "Marcell where the fuck are you? Jon take off." "Just about to take off skip." Said Marcell. "Right JP1 go out to port 200 yrds and then fly behind the Wanderer, stay low and when you get there report what you see." "Yes skip." "JP2 taken off and hovering to port skip." "Andrew, if JP1 finds something nasty I will ask you to go hard to port and do a 180 at full speed." "Ok skip." It seemed an age before JP1 got to the ship. "SKIP! There are armed guys going into a boat, six of them!" Marcell called out. "Hard a port, full ahead!" "Send we are under attack Paul." "JP1 get behind and follow that thing in. JP2 get behind JP1." The Jean was increasing speed at a good rate and would soon get to maximum, but Scott knew they would catch up soon and he must time his attack. By now Janet had raised both cannons and were going full blast. They were at a 60 degree angle and 35 degrees to port and starboard. It was like inviting the spider to the web. "Ok boys we have got them behind us and you should be behind them by now. JP1 attack with gas and JP2 you go in with grenades. Now relax and think of all your training and don't worry, if you don't get them Janet will. The boat was 600 yrds astern and coming straight at them. Scott glanced at Theo and Royston both were watching intently. Scott realised the pirates were not stupid enough to drive into the cannons and knew they would break to port or starboard at the last moment and hope to avoid them and get under the hull to enable them to board. They would also know that boarding at 23 knots was going to be difficult, almost impossible in fact and if they could not board it must be assumed what they would do was open fire on them. They would of course be met with the cannons and most probably that would send them packing, but they did not know that and Scott was determind to end it before they got much closer and before they were in range to open fire. "JP 1 and 2 attack." They all watched as the boat now at full speed was gaining rapidly. The helicoptors chasing the boat were catching up and Scott thought if this goes right you are in for one hell of a bowel problem. Marcell came in low and as he reached 20 yrds from the back of the boat he pressed the gas release button and a plume of it shot out and covered the boat. "Fucking good shot Marcell!" Everyone cheered. "Thanks skip." They all waited watching Jon bring JP2 in. He was slightly higher than Marcell had been as the grenades needed more height to explode above the water line. They saw the two drop and in seconds there were two mighty flashes and explostions as they burst slightly in front of the boat and six feet above the water. "Great shot Jon! JP1 go and see what's happening." But they could already see panic on the boat and it was slowing down. "Stop engines." "Skip they are in trouble down there, seems the tear gas and grenades have worked. They have stopped." "Ok stay there both of you. Andrew go to starboard and come round on them and go to 5 knots." "Janet cut the starboard cannon and keep the port just off them." "You were right skip the Wanderer seems to be taken she has turned south. Poor sods." Gerry swore some really strong stuff. "Send that out and her course and position." Andrew took them to 50 yrds and reversed to a stop. "Play the tape." Janet pressed a button and from the loud speakers came out an order in Solamian to put their weapons over board and raise their hands. "If you do not comply, you will be sunk." "Janet give them a dose." Janet ran the hose over the boat. The pirates tossed everything over board and stood up with their hands over their heads. They knew they were captured, but also knew they were safe. They would not be harmed in the way they would harm, even kill if they had got on board the ship. "Marcell hover over them and see if there are any weapons left." "Andrew take over the bridge, Paul take a shot gun. Janet, Gerry, Colin, Theo and Royston come with me, we are going to lift that lot out. Tazer them if they don't cooperate. Andrew skilfully took the ship closer and stopped, Colin swung the basket out and lowered it to the boat. The pirates knew what to do and two at a time they got in the basket and were bought on board. They were taken to the stern rail and handcuffed to it. When all six were secured Paul went over the side to check the boat was free of all weapons. "There are four handguns and magazines skip." Paul said in his mike. "Ok, I want them. Is there food and water on board Paul?" Paul checked. "Yes skip." Scott spoke to Neil. "Send over the biggest hammer you have and Paul, smash up one of the engines." Paul was going to enjoy this and for the next ten minutes all you could hear was him having the time of his life as he went to work! He also found a GPS system and a radio and radar outfit, all of which he would take with him back on board. Reg gave the pirates a check up. "They still have irritation in the eyes but they will live. We have given them drops." "Ok Reg. Gerry get your camera and take mug shots of these people." Paul came back on board and the pirates were put back in their boat and taken to the stern. He would keep them there for another two hours and sail away from the Wanderer so they could not get back to her. After the two hours the pirates were released. Nobody bothered to wait and see if they managed to start the remaining engine and just sailed away. The Northern Wanderer had become the latest victim and both crew and ship would now be held to ransom. As soon as the pirates had been released Scott told Andrew to get back on the original course and 18 knots, he was behind time to meet his fathers ship. There was a huge amount of excitment about the way they had performed and everyone was more than pleased about the ships ability to fend off the attack. Ok they were also disappointed they could not stop the Northern Wanderer from being taken, but unfortunatly it would have happened anyway as they were so far away when she was boarded. They also realised that they had been tracked and duped into going to the aid of a bogus call for help so they too could be taken. All that told them was there were "spy" boats out there acting as fishing boats. There were mixed feelings when they all met back on the bridge. One of absolute delight that the Jean had performed so well, but disappointment that they were not able to help the Wanderer. They all thought they had only done half a job. "Do you know, if we were properly armed and geared up to attack, as well as crew willing to be involved, I would even think of going after the Wanderer and take her back." Scott stood the off watch down and Paul thought about what Scott had just said. ___________________________________________________________________________ winchesterbornbred@hotmail.co.uk Bobby
