Annika did not go directly to her cabin that night; she wanted to visit Captain Magnus. "I need to meet the captain tonight; this is not good; I am in serious danger," she reflected. When she arrived at the captain's cabin, she wasn't sure whether she was doing the proper thing, so she just knocked on his door. At first, no one is opening the door; she tried twice but nothing happened, so she planned to turn back, but then someone opens the door and asks her, "Annika?" "Annika surprised Captain Magnus by knocking late at night on his door. "Please come in, and why are you here at this time?" the captain said as he led Annika through the door and onto the sofa. "Something awful happened to me today, captain, and I'm not sure what to do, so I came here to talk to you about it." This may be sent to your office tomorrow morning, but I just want to explain what happened, “Annika said to the captain as tears welled up in her eyes. "Tell me what happened today," the captain replies. "As you
The phone rang early in the morning at Jaqueline's cabin: "Jaqueline, can you please come over to my office? "I need to speak with you," Captain Magnus said solemnly. "Hi, Carl, "Good morning, what is it all about?" Jaquie asked the captain, innocently, but she had a feeling it was about the incident last night with Annika and the lost keys."Please come right now; I have extremely important things to talk about with you," the captain said. He doesn't sound very cheerful that morning. He must manage this situation in a fair and non-harmful manner. He had all of the footage he had obtained from yesterday night's CCTV inspection. And he has solid evidence of where the keys are."Hi Carl, good morning, what's going on?" Jaquie inquired as he finally entered the captain's office. The captain did not respond to Jaquie's query, but he did direct her to sit in his office and wait for him. He reappeared, clutching some papers.Jaquie appears to understand what the captain is about to speak to
That First KissAnnika ends her shift; she had been wanting to see the captain for days and hadn't been able to talk to him since the event. She went directly to the captain's office to see whether he was still there. She had second thoughts as she arrived at the captain's door; "maybe I should simply wait for him to see me in the bar," she reasoned. She paused.She was going to turn around when she noticed the captain approaching from outside. "Yes, Annika, what brought you here?" the captain inquired. "I simply wanted to chat with you, captain, since I haven't thanked you yet for your assistance with the incident I was in last week," Annika said gratefully."Come in and have a seat inside," he said as he led Annika to his office. Annika inquired, "I was simply wondering why I wasn't summoned for a hearing." "I feel sorry that I didn't get punished for my irresponsibility," she said sheepishly. Annika remarked how tidy and orderly the captain's cabin and office were while waiting fo
Annika arrived at work the next day energized; she hadn't gotten much sleep after spending time with the captain, but she was up and alert, humming a song, and delighted. She was preparing the bar in the hopes that the captain might stop by for a cup of coffee. She makes sure that the coffee machine is ready to serve the captain a nice cup of coffee.And, as usual, the captain arrives early in his all-white uniform on his casual day, where there is no passenger yet. "Good morning, Annika. How are you today?" he said with a huge smile. "I am doing well, Captain Magnus; how about you?" "I am fantastic," he said as he inquired, a smile on his face."We'll be docking in Sydney tomorrow, Annika; will you be available in the afternoon?" said the captain. "I am available between eleven o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the afternoon, captain," Annika stated candidly."Great! Would you want to join me for lunch in the city at about one in the afternoon?" "I will go out to get some g
The night is still young, as the farewell party for the captain has not yet been finished. Annika is still at work at the deserted Lido Bar, just waiting for her shift to end. She cannot wait till she finishes work as she knows she will be spending some time with Captain Magnus again.Suddenly, she noticed Captain Magnus racing towards her from the steps at Lido Bar. For a brief while, she was bewildered since the captain was running up the steps."Annika, I may complete the night late since I will have some drinks with the officers after the farewell party, so I will hand you my cabin key, and you may proceed to go there after your shift, suit yourself, rest, and wait for me," he said Annika as he handed her his key.Before Annika can finish her sentence, the captain has already returned to the celebration. Annika's initial reaction was, "How can he trust me with his cabin key since I just lost a lot of keys?" She giggled to herself while looking at the key.Annika pondered on how lo
It was eleven o'clock in the morning, and the crew gangway was open for anyone who wanted to go out and contact their family. Annika is in line with the other crew members who must present their shore tickets in order to go out. Captain Magnus is seen leaving the ship and being picked up by a vehicle offshore from where she is standing. "It'd be great if I could join him in that automobile!" she thought.She needs to walk from the wharf to the city center since taxis are quite costly and she doesn't know how to take a bus in Sydney.When she reached the city center, the first thing she did was buy a calling card so she could call her mother back home, "Hello Mom! "It's me, Annika. How are you doing? " Her mother, who was relieved to hear her voice, checked her. "Annika, I am good. I am so happy you called me today. I received all your letters about how all these mean girls are trying to destroy you. "Do not let anyone hurt you; do you understand?" was her way of protecting her."I am
Annika arrived at the Chinese Restaurant August Moon, where she saw the captain sitting and waiting for her. He was only looking at the menu. She stood there for a moment, staring at him, who was holding a bunch of pink roses and a miniature Koala bear on the table.August Moon serves delicious and authentic Chinese, and the restaurant's walls are painted crimson with gold-framed Chinese characters and inscriptions. This is the restaurant captain chose because he thought Annika missed Asian food.When the captain noticed Annika, he waved and invited her to join him at the table he had booked. "You are right on time; I am hungry now," says the captain as he rises up and gives Annika the chair, which Annika finds extremely gentlemanly. "Here, these are for you, Annika," he said as he handed Annika the roses and the plush toy, adding, "And here is the menu; check if you want anything more, or do you want me to pick for you?"Annika reflected on the captain's generosity. She fell complet
It's eleven o'clock at night, and Annika has just finished her shift and is on her way to meet the captain in his cabin. Annika decided to stay on the deck for a little longer to get some fresh air and appreciate the beauty of the night.How lovely the moon seems. It is low and staring toward the horizon, the moon appears to be caressing the water. The moon shines a beam of light in the ocean. It's almost as if you're encountering it for the first time. The sea is calm, and the breeze is blowing, causing some water to splash on her face.Raylene, a security guard, passed Annika by. "Hi Annika, are you finished working?" she said. "No, I'm just enjoying the view of the moon; it's so lovely, and the sea is so peaceful." "It seems like a sea dragon will come up at any minute. HA! HA! HA!" Raylene joked. "I know! It's terrifying to look at, but it's also beautiful," Annika said, laughing as well."I've had to go and work now. Have a good night!" Raylene's goodbye remarks to Annika "Take c
