"Aye chief!" The two men said in unison. They hopped to it right away. "Seaman Reagan come with me I'll show you what's what on the Party Crasher! Hollis will busy himself stowing all the non sensitive gear!" Tyson said to young woman. Hollis realizing that it was now Tyson's shot at impressing Nikki. They worked fast while getting the boat ready. Tyson showed her all the area's of the boat. From the forward hold, to the two bridges, the Twin diesel's.

Tyson was doing his best to impress her while the Chief was on board, not an easy task!

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Nikki's head was spinning. She wa amazed at how much PO Tyson knew and wondering if she would ever have half the knowledge he did.

She did her best to remember the layout of the boat and how to get around but to her it was a maze and she was sure she would get lost a lot.

 

[KINKYCanada]

As he showed her around, he noticed that she was trying to keep up, he had to giggle at her determination to take it all in right away.

"Rule number one on the boat. Safety, safety, and more safety. When we're out there on the ocean. A misplaced box, or piece of equipment not secured properly could spell disaster!" Tyson told her. "Now once we are done packing up, the best thing you can do is stay close to me and you'll see how things are supposed to be done out here. A lot of this can't be learned in the class room you need to see it and do it out on the ocean when real lives are at stake! Also CMC Wolffe is the best they have in my opinon. She isn't some quota filling poster girl she is the real deal! Listen and learn and do what she says. PO Hollis and I are as laxed as they come and she gives us a lot of leway but we also perform to the highest of standards when we work. We work hard and for it we are given the best post in the southern seas." Tyson still had yet to put on a shirt and now built up a sweat. his tattoo's glistening in the hot air. "So what are some of your interests?" He asked sneaking a moment to chat her up.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

"Well I used to be an actress, but after my last TV series ended, I decided I wanted to give something back to this great country. So I joined up. So far I've seen Cape May, and Yorktown. I'm looking forward to seeing something more exotic." She smiles at him

"What about you I bet you have a few sea stories you'd love to use to impress the hot new girl."

 

[KINKYCanada]

Tyson had to admit he liked hearing she was an actress. If the rumors were true about them that was. "Been in anything I've seen?" He asked. "You will see many strange and wonderful things out here. But being a former actress, I imagine you've seen your fair share of strange and wild things! As for me, I've seen a thing or two of excitement." Tyson flexed his bicep showing a tattoo of woman with a shark bent around her. "My first year in the guard. We were patrolling out of San Diego, a woman fell off of some yahoo's yacht, she was drunk, high and in no shape to swim!" Tyson told the story to the young woman. "If that wasn't bad enough there also happened to be quite a few tiger sharks in the water. None of the drug runners would help. That was what the yacht was a mule. Anyway, I jumped in and saved her! Was given an award for bravery, anyway we captured fifty keys of coke and I dated the woman I saved for almost a year. Till old habits caught up with her! Well I had no interest in sleeping with a user or a mule so that was that! And now here we are!" Tyson finished his story and they finished stowing the gear.

Hollis was helping the Chief get her gear settled. "What do you think of the girl?" He asked fishing to see what the Chief thought.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

"I did some small things on Broadway, then a few indie films. My big break was the TV series Blue Bloods with Tom Selleck. I got to play his granddaughter for almost the whole series." She replied to his question about her acting.

"So you're a bona fide hero, huh?" she says to him wondering how much of that was true and how much was bragging.

"I can't wait to see some action, not that I want to arrest anyone, or see people hurt, but..." she says shrugging her shoulders.
**********

CHief Wolffe was on the bridge, checking out the weather for their time at sea and the currents and calculating the fuel they would use to get to their station, when a voice interrupted her.

Looking up she saw Hollis looking at her. "I think you two knuckle dragging mouth breathing horndogs will be trying to get her out of uniform every chance you get. Remember she's a Guardsman first and a sexy piece of ass second. So keep it cool." she says turning back to her work.

 

[KINKYCanada]

"Aye Chief!" Hollis said doing a check re-check of the boat. He knew she was right of course. She knew her men well!

****​

"I'll check out Blue Bloods asap!" Tyson said with a giggle. "I used to love watching re-runs of Magnum P.I. with my father back in the day." He finished with the task and led her up to the closed bridge to await further orders from the Chief!

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

God it's like I'm a house mother to a frat then they throw that piece of tail into the mix. SHe shales her head. She's as ready as she can be. Looking around Chief sees everything is stowed properly. Gabbing the mic for the pa she says "Lets cast off."

 

[KINKYCanada]

When the order came in the men jumped to. "Nikki you head to the open bridge with the Chief while Eric and I get the mooring lines." Tyson said letting Nikki leave first so he could get another glimpse of her perfect ass.

Hollis took the stern line while Tyson hopped up to the bow and took the bow line. Once the ropes were free the men got their PFD's on and joined other two on the upper open bridge. There minds were on their jobs but they couldn't help but wonder if Nikki had a wild side or at the very least a promiscuous side to her!

They let Reagan sit in the front beside the Chief which was where Tyson always sat so she may learn something. Tyson and Eric sat in the two seats behind them and held on as CMC Wolffe navigated the 47'er out of the dock and away from the pier into open waters. The sea would be choppy and the ride bumpy this might be a good test for the newbie's sea legs. The two men were sure the Chief would put it to the test and would like to see how Reagan handles being jolted around.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

NIkki was a bit disappointed that she wasn't given the helm but she understood why. She watched as Chief expertly maneuvered the boat away from the pier and headed out into open water.

Nikki didn't want to distract anyone so the million or so questions running through her head would wait. She watched every move the chief made carefully and tried to take in every gauge, light and indicator all across the bridge.
**********

As soon as they were in open water, Chief pushed the throttles to the max making the boat jump and skip on the waves. She looked at Nikki who was holding on to her seat and smiling. Chief made a few fast "S" turns and Nikki just smiled wider as she held on tighter.

Chief nidded in approval as she steadied on course for their new home for the next few weeks. "Seaman take the helm and stay on course 1-6-8. Tyson stay up here and watch her. Hollis go below and make sure everything is secure for sea, we might hit some weather before we make port."

Chief ducked out of th epilot house and headed to the galley to get some coffee, and think about her new petite sailor.

 

[KINKYCanada]

When Wolffe gave the order Hollis climbed below and did what was asked. After he joined the Chief in the small galley of the boat. "Penny for your thoughts Chief?" He asked pouring himself a coffee. "Also I do have some new dive gear ordered and would like to pick it up when it arrives. Any chance of getting out a doing a little diving this turn out? I know you could use a little you time! God knows it's been awhile since you really relaxed during your off hours!" Hollis said. He would never jeopardize his spot on the team with openly hitting on the Chief but there was an attraction here that he couldn't deny and he not only found her a top notch Guardsmen but also a really sexy women! So he did let a lot on innuendo go with her!


*****

Tyson watched Nikki closely, as much as he might want to have fun with her, they were in a high end military boat that was to the tune of 1.3 million dollars, he wouldn't risk anything happening to it or to her crew while he was at the helm or watching over the helm.

"Your doing great!" Tyson said as she stayed on the heading she was ordered. "You need to feel what the boat is telling you as well as anticipate what the ocean will throw at us! Watch the waves you will start to see a pattern within them, and She can handle waves up to 20 feet with ease, and 60 to 70 knots a real brute she is. But don't become lax thinking you have it all figured out. Every now and then the sea will throw a curve ball at you. A wave will break early or late, or maybe it will die off and you will be hit from the port of starboard by a wave you didn't know was there, because it wasn't a second ago. Not to worry the Party Crasher's keel will always right it's self this boat can completely submerge and will pop right back up again. Or be broad sided and spin like a kayak, it will always right itself. Whether you are still on board well that's a different story! haha" Tyson laughed as he tried to teach the young seaman something about the boat she was now piloting.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

"Well, there is this reef I want to explore." she says sipping her lifer juice. "But not sure how much time we have for recreation. With the recent spate of shootings, Homeland Security is upping the threat level, and we need to get Reagan fully trained before we finish this mission. If you boys do manage to get her trained, and I don't get any sexual harassment reports from her, then maybe I might spring for a party when we get back."

 

[KINKYCanada]

"So this trip out we won't just be stopping the rich and famous from getting lost at sea or catching a few poachers! This is the real deal now! We talking pirates? Or are we looking at a drug war picking back up?" Hollis asked Wolffe. He knew now why having an untrained recruit was bothering the Chief, if they saw action she needed everyone on board to know what to do. "We going to put her on standby or give her a real job to do on the boat. Maybe the M240 machine gun. That way Tyson and I can secure any boats while you pilot? Just a thought!" Hollis offered.

****


Tyson was now pouring on the info on the boat, specs were flying out his mouth as he watched her navigate the water. The waves were a mere four feet and the Party Crasher was cutting through them with ease not even causing her to bounce hard. Tyson was holding the securing rail that was all along the helm with one strong hand while he placed a hand on the small of Nikki's back about where a tramp stamp would be. "You really are a natural at this, before long the Cheif will trust you to hit waves that'll crash over the pilot house, it's a rush feeling the power of almost 900 horse power at your command. Now we only cruise at 22 knots so as fun as it may be to let it all out don't we only go over cruising when in pursuit or when we are in an emergency state.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

"First we need to get her qualied on our weapons. small arms and large. Then on the helm, then the rest of the gear. I don't know whats coming, but command is expecting something big. All our boats are being dispersed with orders to board as many vessels as possible. Just be ready for anything."
**********

Nikki was excited to be in control of the boat. Her eyes were shining as she steered it across the sea heading to points unknown. She tried to take in everything Tyson told her, but she was too busy reveling in the thrill of manning the helm.

She felt his hand on her back and she stiffened up a bit. She knew she was attracted to these guys but they were her superiors and doing anything with one of them could destroy both her reputation and the morale of this tight knit group, not to mention getting on Chiefs bad side.

Being new she didn't say anything hoping it was a friendly gesture not a sexual one. She didn't want to be known as uptight, she could take a joke even a sexual one. That didn't bother her. Hell any actress over 14 in Hollywood had to learn how to deal with sexual advances from producers, directors, and agents.

"How long you been on one of these?" she asked trying to get him to talk about something not so technical. There was only so much she could take in at once.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Aye chief we'll get her into shape!" Hollis answered, he was now a little more concerned with the up coming few weeks. The routine was nice and now would be shaken up a lot.


*****


Tyson felt her tense at his advance, not the reaction he hoped for. He kept his hand there so it would seem like it was a natural thing and not a sexual one. "I joined when I was 18, I grew up in San Diego and my father was a marine mechanic. So it was a natural fit for me. I was out of SD for two years then on a big big ice breaker up north but they moved me down here five years ago, thank god me and the cold don't get along. Was Assigned to CMC Wolffe's boat about three years ago. Eric and I met in training and have been on all the same boats ever since." Tyson said, feeling it was time to pull his hand away, he was a little crushed seeing he and Hollis had two really big ego's when it came to the ladies. Both had never failed to at least impress a woman if not get her into a sexual relationship. "The Chief will probably come up and take over from you to dock this at our home away from home." Tyson said taking a seat beside Nikki and little crest fallen.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Suddenly the VHF squawked to life.

"MAYDAY MAYDAY, ANY VESSEL MAYDAY! This is the MY Abagail. We have an uncontrollable fire in the engine room that has spread to the crew quarters. THere is a crew of three and 5 passengers. We are abandoning ship. Our positions is 42 Nautical miles Ease South East of Cape Hatteras, coordinates are..." and the radio dies out.

Without a word Nikki pushes the throttles to full, and looks at Tyson for more instructions.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Knowing the Chief would be up there in a second Tyson grabbed the com receiver and radioed the mainland Coast Guard base and told them of the situation and that they were on route. "Are there any boats closer? We are training a BSMA and have a hull full of gear. We also have not got any co-ordinates or info as to what is on board the Abagail, her size or her crew! Can you get a chopper in the air to let us know all that we are getting into? Over." Tyson said instantly getting into action. "Go to this heading, Stay on it we should see the smoke fairly soon! When the chief gets up here move to the back seat and hold on!" Tyson told her then stayed on with the main land waiting further information.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Several boats responded to the call, but most of them were day sailors or too far away to be of any assistance.

The mainland radioed back "Negative on a chopper, none are available. You are the closest unit. Navy has a P-3 in the area, they will divert to get a look. Call sign Kingfisher-14"

Chief bursts onto the bridge and screams "Why the fuck did we speed up!

"Distress call chief." Nikki tells her. 42 miles ESE of Cape Hatteras. No Lat/Long given. Fire onboard the MY Abagail. Spread from engine room to crew quarters. They are abandoning ship crew of 3 and 5 passengers." Nikki tells her as Tyson is on the radio with their HQ.

Chief looks at a chart and plots the course to the area. "come left to course 232 look for smoke." She says leaving Nikki on the helm.

"Come left to course 232 aye," she repeats turning the wheel to head toward the stricken ship.

"Anyone else responding?" Chief asks.

"Just some civillians in bass boat and day sailors. No commercial or military responses on 16. Tyson asked for a chopper and support." she reported to the CHief. "Steady on 232."

Just as she said that a cloumn of smoke was visible on the horizon. "About 7-10 miles she said, shold be there in 20 minutes. She said grabbing the mic. Get fire fighting gear ready, and get teh jacobs ladder rigged, she ordered.

Walking over to the helm she tells Nikki, "Good job but Hollis needs help. Go!" and tkaes the helm.

Nikki runs to midships where she finds Hollis dropping the jacobs ladder. They quickly get to work securing it so survivors can climb aboard.

 

[KINKYCanada]

After Wolffe gave her commands. Tyson Radioed back that they were on route and should be there in 10 minutes to assess and help survivors. "No Chopper and the only Navel ship in the area, will come if we request otherwise we are on our own. No info on the Abagail, no crew size or passenger size, not even sure what kind she is!" Looking back he saw that Hollis and Nikki were ready with the jacobs. "I'll go get a fire suit on and be ready to board her if needed!" Tyson said knowing that there might be a need to climb aboard the burning ship.

With in a minute he was ready and on the forward bow with a blow horn and a couple of floats in case he needed to throw to people while they pulled survivors aboard.


****

"Ok you do what you are told when you are told! Chief will yell orders fast and expects them followed just as fast! Got it?" Hollis said to Nikki. It wasn't lack of faith in ability it was lack of trust, she hadn't earned it yet and when lives were at stake he wasn't going to sugar coat it for Nikki. "In the event someone has to get in the water it'll be me. If someone needs to board the Abagail, it'll be PO Banks, you will stay aboard and help with what ever the Chief needs. Will most likely be helping the people we get on board. The First aid is in the survivors hold. Assess and let the Chief know what they need in way of medical!" Hollis said quickly to her then looked on at the floating inferno they were heading to.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

SHe was nervous. They had tought them how to handle these situations throughout her training, but this was no shit for real. There wasn't any instructor standing nearby ready to show her how to do things, or chew her ass when she screwed up. IF she made a mistake it could cost lives. She swallowed hard and took a deep breath as the floating inferno came into sight.

There was a huge column of black smoke climbing straight up over teh Motor Yacht Abagail. Nikki had used her phone to look up info on the boat. It was a huge luxorious Yacht owned by a suspected Mexican Drug Kingpin.

She hoped that this didn't turn into a fire fight. Fighting a fire was tough enough, they didn't need to be dodging bullets as well.

"Aye Aye" Nikki listening carefully to his orders.
**********

GMC Wolffe saw that there was no wind, and didn't see any survivors in the water on the starboard side so she decided to swing around to port where the flames seemed to be smaller.

As she rounded the bow she saw a lifeboat in the water, and a voice crackled over the radio. It was a short range frequency, one reserved for people adrift in a lifeboat.

"Coast Guard Vessel, this is the MY Abagail Lifeboat. All hands are accounted for and aboard. Permission to come alongside."

Chief grabbed the radio and replied port side midships, there's a ladder rigged for you. as she throttles back the engines.

"Grabbing the 1MC mic she announces, standby to pick up survivors. I repeat stand by to piic up survivors."

As she repeats her announcement a large prop plane with Navy markings flys over the rescue craft. "Damn Navy, always a day late and a dollar short."

T he radio crackles to life, this time a secure frequency "Kingfisher-14 calling Coast Guard, soory to be late, had to refuel before heading this way. Do you need assistance?"

"From a plane designed to hunt subs?" the chief said to herself. Then repying to the pilot. Negative 14 we have this. Thanks for the assist." she drops the mic as she watches the yachts lifeboat come alongside.

 

[KINKYCanada]

"Chief if that yacht belongs to who we think it belongs to, do we really want them aboard? We can easily tow them back!" Hollis asked the Chief after getting a good look at the floating inferno. They all studied the markings of suspected drug runners or smugglers of any type.

Tyson was getting out of the fire gear, he wasn't going to board the yacht if all were accounted for.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Chief ponders for a moment. "Search them, if they have weapons secure them. If they have drugs arrest them." With that storm coming I don't want to chance losing someone overboard, or having the towline breaking. Besides someone might need medical attention."

 

[KINKYCanada]

With her orders given Hollis went back to the Jacobs. "You stand there with an Mp5 as we pull people aboard I will give a quick search. if they are armed, we disarm them and zip the hands and feet. If they have drugs we arrest them and zip the hands and feet." Hollis told Nikki. Tyson came to the stern when his gear was off. making sure no one could arm them selves through them neither Hollis or Tyson were carrying a side arm. Leaving that to the Chief if she chose to and Nikki. As the Chief skillfully maneuvered the Party Crasher so it could take on the survivors Tyson and Hollis started to pull them aboard.


With blankets waiting they searched them and when they were clean they wrapped them in a blanket and moved them to the side. One by one they pulled them up.

KC

 

[Ldy_Sea]

Nikki had no problem with guns or shooting. Hell she fired expert in bootcamp, and wore the ribbons to prove it. But putting holes in paper was different than gunning down a person. She really hoped she wouldn't have to fire.

She kept her finger off the trigger and made sure teh safety was off, and a round in the chamber. She didn't want to use the weapon, but she wasn't going to let some drug mule kill her shipmates.

The Chief had manouvered away from the burning derelict, and put out a warning to traffic as she retriced the sidearm she kept hidden on the bridge just in case. She would have preferred to have her crew armed 24/7 since they were technically federal law enforcement officers, but her CO refused to authorize those under his command to caryy unless they were activly engaged in law enfocement operations.

One by one the 8 survivors were pulled on board, and one had two joints, but nothing else was found.

 

[KINKYCanada]

Happy that there was no need for violence Tyson and Hollis made sure everyone was alright and secured in the Survivors cabin of the boat.

"Well I think we earned a beer!" Hollis said joining the chief on the upper bridge.
"What now Chief?"

****

"Good job Nikki!" Tyson said after he was done checking everyone over! "Gets the blood going don't it?"

KC
