Chapter 16: Chapter 15

"SAMUEL B ROBERTS!!" Fitzgerald along with everyone else turned to stare at the base's resident prankster. All wondered what hilarious act she had performed this time. "Alright, what did you do?" The destroyer captain wondered. Sammy B smirked over her coffee as she brought it to her lips. "What makes you think I did anything?" She asked. "Oh come off it Sammy, I know you. Despite that angry shout just now, your smirk suggests your guilt." "Suggesting guilt is not the same thing as admitting guilt skipper as you should very well know. Now that said, the answer should appear in 3, 2, 1." The door to the wardroom burst open and in came a very angry Carter. The submarine's main engine was whining and Fitzgerald could all but smell the distinctive scent of uranium. "CARTER!" She scolded. "Yeah yeah I know. No reactor in port. But I need the power ma'am if I'm going to throttle this joker!" The submarine snarled. Fitzgerald shook her head and backed away. Sammy B was on her own this time.

She turned to Carter, taking great amusement in her anger. "What has your screw in such a twist Carter?" She asked. "Don't play that game with me smart ass. I know what you did." Sammy B's who, what, me look was betrayed by the twinkle in her eyes. As if her record didn't already do that. "Do you need me to specify?" Carter asked. Sammy B, clearly enjoying Carter's flustered behavior nodded. "Please do." Carter growled. "Where is the picture you took?" "What picture?" "Stop being cute. You know what picture." "Oh-oh that picture." Sammy B grinned. Ah yes she had been wondering when Carter would figure that out. "Hmm I seem to have misplaced it." "Where?" Carter ground out. "Not sure." "Samuel B Roberts you better tell me or so help me Ancients..." "The last roll of films got delivered to the ceremony coordinator didn't they Fitz?" "I believe so as of this morning yes." Fitzgerald replied. "Sammy B don't tell me you took an embarrassing photo..." "But they were so cute together!" Sammy B whined. Fitzgerald just sighed. Sparing a glance at Carter revealed the submarine had gone beyond livid and her cheeks turned a shade of red never before seen.

Sammy B who had always had a terrible understanding of emotions couldn't resist pressing Carter's buttons further. "I mean really Carter, I've never seen you so relaxed. And Traeger looked so comfortable lying against your..." "YOU'RE DEAD!!" Carter lunged and with a frightened eep, Sammy B ran for it. Carter chased after her and Fitzgerald heard the sounds of a fight in the hallway. "GIVE IT BACK!" "I DON'T HAVE IT!" "THEN GO GET IT!!" She turned to her subordinates. "Alright, which one of you idiots took Sammy B's film roll." Cole came forward sheepishly and offered it. Fitzgerald snatched it from her and sailed off. She returned the film to Carter later in the day but neglected to tell the submarine that she'd made copies. Ah for her private collection of course.
