Hold On

ZAC

I watch as the storm comes closer and closer. I know that we are going to have to maneuver the ship through the storm with great skill. I have maneuvered quite a few ships in my time through storms but Peter is up next for captaincy and I would like to make use of this opportunity to see if he is up to the task.

I can see that Peter is a bit nervous and I know that I have to put away my jealousy, for now, to train him the right way. He is going to need a recommendation from a Captain before he can become one. I guess that I am going to have to be that Captain that has to give him the recommendation but I first have to know if he can do it.

I walk to Peter and put my hand on his shoulder.

"You do not have to worry. If there is one person that can do it, it will be you. I trust you"

He looks at me with a nervous smile and then he says.

"Thank you, sir. Your confidence in me means a lot"
