” Channel 9 is the boat calling channel. It’s supposed to be ON all the time and loud enough for the watch-stander to hear over the wind or waves....The Coast Guard uses channel 9 to request inspection.The Boat Basin is what passes for a Marina on Guam. The fishing boats dock there to hawk their catches and the stray voyager can find a dock there. We were a stray voyager.Fans on, two minutes, fire up the diesel ... check over the side for water from the exhaust ... no water? Shut down and find. Stands around 6'3 and slender. He works offshore.Danny didn't see anyone when he walked in, but could hear talking coming from the back. He kicked off his shoes and headed down the hall to his room. As he made his way down the hall, he heard his mom's voice coming from her room. The door was open, so he walked over to it to let her know he was home.When he looked in, he saw his mom sitting in bed. She was completely nude, her legs were spread open and she was running her hand over her bush. Since Mommy didn’t know for sure, she couldn’t tell him. Your leaving me was the first time I was certain, and for him, it would have been another heartbreak. Mommy’s love for him wanted to spare him that much. He was never Mommy’s to begin with, but somehow in the midst of his awful and lonely life, he and Mommy became close. It was the sweetest thing Mommy has ever known, the day he told her he loved her in the middle of all his mess. She made him forget all his failures and opened his eyes. He puts his arms on his chest, being snug and defiant.Ivy just looked at him. She looked upset. Then she looked angry."Charles are you asking me to drop down on my knees and beg you for forgiveness??" Ivy asked him.The way she asked him seemed more like an interrogation than an actual question."Well if you want to, that is your choice!!" Charles told her in a cocky tone.Charles would have liked it if she went down on her knees, kissed his legs and asked him to forgive him, but he knew that.
