The twins were happy to organise a jet to come and collect me and fly me to Perth, and on boarding the jet, I asked the pilot to fly out to the Abrolhos Islands, so I could have a look at it from the air, and the pilot was happy to oblige to the request. When I arrived in Perth in the late afternoon, on Sunday, I had just over 2 days to be organised, with some shopping in preparation for my new position on Christmas Island. I had booked into a 4-star hotel in the city, with view overlooking

“Ok, we are sorry for the little joke, so can we now drive down our driveway to the back door please?” Louis asked me nicely, and I restarted the vehicle and turned around on the vacant block since there was plenty of room to do that, and after checking there was no traffic, I swung around and drove down the paved driveway. Joachim unlocked and opened the back door, as Wyatt and I followed with the first load of luggage. Stopping in the middle of the room, I saw that we were in the games roo

Moments after arriving on the main deck, my mobile began to ring, “Commander, this is Mick, two members of the local Lions Club are on their way, along with a table, chairs and a cash box, they will be replaced at 3.30pm, by a second shift, I presumed that we would close at about 5pm” Mick said to me. “Yes, that sound good, I have the information about the ship with me, and I have just stepped onboard, so come when you are ready” I replied. After the call, I went inside and locked up the

When it came to the matter of permitting the project to go ahead, one of the councillors expressed concern about it being forced to go ahead, without all the required checks. “Commander Shaw, I see you in the back of the room, would you mind coming forward, so we can ask some questions” the shire president asked. “Certainly sir, I would be happy to do that” I replied, as I moved forward and stepped up to the podium, and for the next fifteen minutes, I was asked plenty of questions about

The audio-visual company had two cameras to record and broadcast the event, and they were located at each side of the first row of chairs, with the audio and visual controller sitting in the bar area, as crowds began to arrive at 5.30pm, with the local State Emergency Service appearing, in their distinct orange overalls, to assist with crowd control. Making it easier to ensure that all the seats are filled. At 5.45pm, the first of the officials arrived, with the two politicians, and Mr Logan

The town planning team thought my suggestions were good, and worthwhile putting to the community as a beneficial project, not only for the community and the public, but also to the local district highschool. The Director called a friend who runs an architecture firm in Geraldton and asked him to draw up some rough plans of my proposals, so they can be submitted to the community at next week’s community meeting, and I agreed to pay for their work that they do for this project. After spen

“Might be hard to drive if it is gift wrapped, would you like to take it for a test drive now?” Paul asked as he lead the way towards the main building where he retrieved the keys for the SUV car, and once Paul had driven it out of the display lot, after unlocking the gates, he let me take over driving, and we went through town for about twenty minutes, before returning to the car dealership. The vehicle already had roof bars, a tow hitch, front bumpers, fog lights and side steps, so it had

Once the twins were onboard, I noticed that one of them was holding a long black torch, “The officer kindly loaded it to us, as you need to get the generator started to get the power on” one of the twins said, and I nodded my head as I accepted the torch. Well where do we go first, forward or aft of the ship?” I asked the twins, who were both dressed almost identical, so it was once again hard for me to know which twin they are, until I spotted the different watches they were wearing, one wo

Lewis’s POV Two Weeks Later When the twins and I arrived in Liechtenstein, I sent a text message to Kylie, “I am safe and well staying with friends, can you please check what happened with the delays to my discharge and removing my Australian Security Clearance, as there seems to be a dispute with the facts, I will call you soon. Love Lewis” Once the message was sent, I turned the phone off and removed the battery and SIM card, and for the past two weeks I have been enjoying my stay in t

“Well you will require a legal arrest warrant for that, so that means that this now meeting is over, good day to you gentlemen” Franco said as he stood up and walked to the door, to let the men leave. “I suggest that you stay onboard this yacht, and that you go nowhere until we return with a warrant” the lead officer said to me, as he walked towards the door. “Sorry, but we can’t do that, as we are on a charter at the moment, with paying guests, if you want to catch up with us, we will be in

“Yes, I do, I am bisexual, but have been too busy with my career, to be able to have a decent relationship” I said to the twins casually. “The same with our brother, we worry about him often, the problem is finding a guy suitable for him” one of the twins said. “Well I am not sure about socialising with the big boss, I would like to concentrate on my job really, and I am not really into high finance and money concerns, I am just happy as I am working for a living, and just getting to know ne

Since we have now lost two crew, there will be a change made, Margarite you are now galley hand, since you have cooking experience, and I will arrange for two replacements for the two steward positions, that is all, thank you” Mr Wagner said, and he headed upstairs, with the Captain following. I went back up to the main deck stern, and took a few minutes looking around the harbour, when the radio crackled, “Mr Lewis Shaw to the Bridge right away please”, and I quickly headed upstairs to the
