At last the release gear was ready for trial before they left Cyprus and Scott found an oppertunity to have them tested out when they were clear of other ships. They fitted dummy's and both JP1 and 2 took off. Marcell flew in and attempted the first drop and off they came. Huge cheers. Next was Jon with the same result. Janet and Gerry in the RIB recovered the dummy's and they carried out a few more practise runs until they were happy that they could attack with the real thing. "Ok, bring them in and load two live ones on each. Tell Jan to come in." Scott told them. "What height will you fly Marcell?" "I will try 20ft, the same as when we released the gas." Off he went and run in at that height and 70mph. He released the grenade. It dropped off and hit the water and exploded after it had sunk a couple of feet. "Just given the fishes a headache skip. Will try the next one at 30ft." Marcell bought his helicopter round for his next run and this time it was perfect with the grenade exploding about 5ft above the surface "Fucking marvelous!" Scott was very pleased and even more so when Jon got the same result. "Skip we will need to bomb a target. We know they work and we know the speed and heights we need to release, but I don't know WHEN to release, all we were doing was bombing the sea." Marcell told Scott. "When we get clear in the Gulf you two can start practising properly Marcell. Well done you two." Marcell and Jon could not be more pleased and beamed at Scott. Scott smiled back at them and thought how fortunate that both he and Marcell had found love in a small town in Iceland that very few people have ever heard of, but a place which for him, Andrew, Marcell and Jon ment so much.
The passage through the Suez and then down the length of the Red Sea was uneventful. Everyone was gearing up to go into pirate areas. Paul now reworked the watches so that more would be on as soon as they got south. They were ready and more than able. Scott got them to paint JP2 with the new orange colour telling them he wanted it to be highly visable in the hope that Jon could draw the attention of any attackers, while JP1 ran in from behind and not so visable. "I wanted pink." Was all Jon said.
Scott followed the same course that he took when they were attacked which would take him once again north of Suqatr island and two days later they reached the exact location. He told the crew he was stopping the ship and when the Jean was still he left the bridge to go to his cabin. They all knew why and remained on the bridge. Scott had a wreath made of silk flowers that he kept in a cupboard and took it to the stern. Once there he had five minutes private time and cast the wreath over board. All the crew were watching and all felt for their Captain. He stayed there watching as the wreath drifted away and after a while bought himself back to the present and returned to the bridge and sat in his chair.
"8 knots please." "Yes Captain." Janet responded. Scott looked at her and smiled his thanks.
Andrew as always did the right thing and stood quietly next to Scott not saying a word. He did not have to, Scott knew Andrew was his rock and with him there he would be fine, just fine.
During the first week the main priority was for Marcell and Jon to practice their "bombing." The RIB was lunched with Janet and George again crewing it JP1 and 2 took off, with dummy's fitted and made several passes dropping them 200yrds to starboard of the RIB so as not to hit it. At first the results were mixed, but gradually they improved and got much nearer the target. The target point was deemed to be hitting the water ajacent to the RIB. It wasn't perfect, but the best they could do. The boys of course were having a great time and Scott was happy for them, but had to emphisis just how important the practise was and not just fun time! Jon had settled in so well and of course all due to Marcell and him being so much in love. They could not be more popular and like brothers to all of them. On one occasion Scott came to the bridge just as they were going off watch. He gave them a couple of minutes and spoke into the intercom. "All crew, if you experience a strange sideways rocking motion of the ship soon don't worry Marcell and Jon have just gone off watch!" You could hear the cheers from all parts of the ship.
One week became two and by now they had become accustomed to the routine, without loosing any alertness. It's a state of mind that many on active service experience, it's almost a state of automation. In another two weeks they were due to meet the first of Scott's father's ships and they were slowly sailing in the direction that they would meet up with it. They had seen many ships visually and many more on radar, but when they spotted a small vessel everyone was looking at it with particular interest. There were a lot of them fishing, but knowing what was a fishing boat from a pirate mother boat was impossible, hence the attention they gave all of them. Scott had all of them logged with a name or number and flag if one was being flown as well as the position just to keep a record of the sighting.
It was during the third week that another boat was sighted. It first showed on the radar and they knew it was a small boat because of the return they were getting on the screen. There was no sighting from the main camera yet. Reg was on watch and noted it had changed course towards them from the port side and called Scott. The whole watch looked in the direction, but as yet they could not pick it up. Scott called Marcell to start his JP1 and take off. As soon as he reached 100ft he spotted it. "It,s coming at us skip, quite fast." As soon as he said that Scott told him to stay hovering and sounded the alarm. Even if this was not for real, it was good practise. Jon got his JP2 started and took off and as planned he would go to one side of the ship and wait instructions from Scott. They waited and soon the boat was visable to all of them. Scott told Marcell to fly wide to starboard then make his way out so that he could get round the back of the boat at 200 yards. Marcell flew low and knew he was unlikely to be seen or heard over the boats engine noise. Scott went to the camera screen. "See anything yet Gerry? "No skip." "Ok start the cannon generator and turn on the uni cannons Janet." These would sweep both sides of the hull with powerful jets. "Ok, lets see what he is up to. Go to 20 knots." "I am behind him skip, can't see any weapons, but I am a bit low to see the whole boat. All I can see is a couple of guys at the stern smoking." Scott went to Marcell's screen and stared at the boat. "He is staying on course skip." Paul said. "He maybe waiting for us to get further away, keep your eyes peeled. Are we clear Gerry?" "Yes skip, all clear, just that one." It soon became clear the boat was not following them as it did not increase speed and after another 20 minutes Scott told them to stand down and returned the ship to 8 knots. JP1 and 2 landed and the boys went out to look after their babies and top them up with fuel and secure them back onto the deck. The off watch went to the saloon for a coffee and talked about what had just happened. This small incident was a good reminder of the need to be on top of their game and the crew of the Jean Peterson was at the top and that is why all those off watch could depend on those ON watch to be on top of that very "game" which would ensure the safty of the ship and all those on board.
Scott and Andrew had not made love, but were cuddled up together in their bunk after a shower. Nothing was said as each of them were more than content just being like they were. Of course they kissed a great deal as this was the most profound way of expressing their feelings to one another. Scott had never been so relaxed as he knew that the whole crew were at the point were everyone of them were as compitent as the next and he could trust all of them. With that level of trust he and Andrew dropped off to sleep.
The alarm woke them and the rest of the ship. It was 2am. Scott dressed and got to the bridge fast. "Where?" Paul was on watch. "4 O'Clock coming in fast, about 30 knots." "Full speed and get him behind us." Janet came on the bridge and started the generators and raised the cannons at 60 degrees. She also turned the stern cannons on. "Gerry?" "Got him, he is alone and all clear around." "JP1 taking off skip. i'm going behind him." "JP2 taking off skip." "Good lads." Scott went to look at JP1's screen. Marcell had his camera on the boat and was following it. "Any guns?" "Can't see any skip." Scott looked through his night glasses and saw the boat still some distance away, but was coming at them faster he thought. "Ok everyone, stand by I think we have a live one. Paul send out a message, we are being chased and expecting an attack." "Search lights standby." "Anything else on radar? Gerry?" "All clear skip." "Marcell get in closer to him and climb to 100." Scott looked over Marcell's shoulder. They saw it at the same time! "RPG! Stay with him Marcell and wait for me." "Ok skip." "How far?" "200 yards skip." Scott's heart was racing. "Search lights ON." And there it was well and truly lit up. "Cannons on!" As rehearst so many times Janet fired them, but at a 45 degree angle until Scott told her to engage. Massive amounts of water flew out of them. "Gerry all clear?" "Yes skip." "Paul send out we are under attack. Give our position" "Yes skip." "JP2 get behind 1, attack with grenades when I say." "Yes skip." "Ok, stand by.................... Half speed!" The Jean rapidly lost speed and all of a sudden the pirates were now in the range of the water cannons. "Fire Janet." Janet turned the cannons onto the boat and the reaction was instant. "There going to starboard skip." "Follow them Janet." "They are firing at us skip!" Marcell shouted. "Attack Marcell." But they suddenly turned further away and a few seconds later Janet turned the cannons off, they had now gone out of range. "JP1 hold fire, but follow them. JP2 follow us." "Go to 5 knots, cut search lights." "They are legging it skip, think we saw them off." "Port 20 go to 10 knots." Scott wanted to get off this course. "Are they still on the same course Marcell?" "Yes skip." "Ok come back and land, Jon you come over us and go to 250 ft." "Ok skip." "All clear radar? Gerry?" "I can still see the boat on radar, but very weak." "Gone off camera skip." "Turn on inferred Jon, see anything?" "Just a red dot skip and he is still going." "Skip?" "Yes Paul?" "Shall I transmit all clear?" "Oh fuck forgot that! Give their speed and course out ok?" "skip." "JP1 landed skip." "You come in as well Jon." "skip." "Ok everyone stand down and thanks. Good job. We can pick the bones out of this later." They returned to normal course and the off watch stood down, but everyone on watch still very much alert. Scott stayed on the bridge. Andrew came up with a coffee for him and Colin and George bought food and drink for the watch. Andrew put his arm around Scott and kissed his cheek Scott loved that and kissed him back. After a hour Scott went to bed, Andrew was due on watch.
It had become routine to have bridge meetings so that all crew could be involved and at this one they could go through last nights attack. There was not much to discuss though as everyone was more than pleased about how the ship and the crew performed. "I don't know about you skip, but I would imagine every attack will be different and if we do as well as last night if there are any more I personnaly think we will come out on top." Everyone agreed with Reg. "Does anyone think I should have gone after him?" "No skip, we did what we set out to do and that was to fight the bastards off and besides we would never have caught him even if he did have a boat half full of water." Paul said. "Yes Paul my thoughts as well, but mind you if the situation demands I will sink them. The last thing on my mind is someones safety who are trying to do us harm and they will as you all know, I just hope it does not happen." "I'm going to look at the video recordings when we finish and look at what we have and get it all on disk, Show you guys when I finish." Gerry looked at George and was happy that he was going to help him.
Gerry and George got to the recording shack down on the lowest deck. It had been quite big until all the equipment had been installed. It was now just big enough to get them both in with only one chair for Gerry, George had to stand behind him. They watched all the recordings from the main camera and the helicopters as well as the 3 fixed cameras covering the whole ship. "This equipment is great George, the quality is excellent." "I don't know a damb thing about this stuff, but your right about the quality." Gerry worked away, but as he did he became aware of the closeness of George standing behind him. His mind began to wonder and made a couple of mistakes and swore. "Whats up? George asked. Gerry turned and looked up at George and did not reply, just looked. George looked back. Normally he would turn away, but not this time. He lent down and the two men kissed for some time. "Your place or mine?" Gerry asked. "Which ever one is closest come on." It was Gerry's cabin that they would get to first. Once inside they stripped.........No in fact pulled one anothers clothes off, both were so horny after such a long time without sex all they wanted was to get the other naked. They both knew how each other looked from the gym sessions in London and now on the Jean, both had to admit that what they were doing now, should have happened then! It was all very intense and without any finesse what so ever, but the needs were so great and the passion level at the top of the scale all they could do was get naked. Gerry was first on his knees and swollowed George all the way down to his throat. George threw his head back and shouted something out and Reg, who just happened to be passing outside the cabin at the time, knew just what was going on because Freddy shouted out like that when they were doing "stuff!" Reg smiled and walked on. Although George loved what was happening also needed to get at Gerry and got onto the bunk and together they went into a 69. Once there they began to slow down a bit and just suck something neither had sucked for many a month, but it was not long before both of them were getting to the point of no return. "Fuck George i'm coming, I can't hold back." George said nothing and just waited for Gerry to shoot and as he did so did George, an emormous amount of the white stuff that neither saw as they both swallowed each load down. Both men laid back and after a while George turned and faced Gerry. "Fuck I needed that." "Me too and we have still got three hours before we are on watch." Now that they had both released the loads that were busting to be free, they now laid together exploring one an others bodies. George ran his hands all over Gerry. "You are a hell of a good looking guy, beautiful in fact." "I think since we have trained together you are a great looking guy, but the most important, a nice one." They kissed for a long time. "I haven't got what we need George, don't suppose you have?" "I do indeed and you are the reason I bought it with me. Want me go and get it?" "Damb sure I do, I will go and get clean." They kissed and George got his shorts back on and went to his cabin. Gerry showered. Back in bed they just kissed and explored bodies and as they did so they become more aroused. Finally with Gerry on his knees George did the one thing that Gerry loved so much and cried out when Georges tongue hit his button. He squirmed all over the place as he became even more worked up. George could not hold back any longer and got behind Gerry and pushed himself against his hole. Just one thrust and he burst through and entered Gerry's anus. They were both in a different world and as George pumped so their worlds came together. George could not hold back and shouted he was coming and with four more pushes into Gerry he finally shot out the second load and filled the condom. He collapsed on Gerry who twisted them both round and finished himself off. They cuddled in and waited to recover. "Nice and even better because it was you George." "Thanks, that means a lot. It was great." Sometime later they got up and went to shower and spent time cleaning each other, then went back to bed and slept for an hour. Gerry's alarm woke them. They kissed for a while and then got dressed to go on watch. "Same again later?" "My place next time, ok?"
As they arrived on the bridge they saw eveyone looking through binoculars. Gerry picked a set up and looked through them. He could see a warship coming to port and behind them them at full speed. It was the USS Rockall.
