Halloween Cruise

Admiral Nelson had no choice but to send the Seaview and it's crew to Alaska for another inspection of the base. General Waverly wasn't too pleased with having another inspection two weeks from the Halloween holiday. Most of the employees on the base were going on leave for a week at the height of the holiday season upon them.

Another reason for the inspection was the fact that tremors had started up once again, and the Seaview had been asked to check the pipe line and any fissures that might of opened up. Divers will be called in as well including Commander Stanley Kowalski will be asked to join the cruise.

Captain Lee Crane was called to Admiral Nelson's Institute for a briefing of the meeting. He was on his way over in his Cobra with the top up. Since the weather has been warmer for the month of October. He had left his two boys at the beach house with the nanny, while his wife was arriving back from Houston, Texas in an hour finishing up the last of the work on the top secret project.

Arriving at the gate with the guard knowing the captain and showing his pass. The guard waved him on with opening up the gate to have him drive past and head on over to Nelson's office.

Admiral Nelson looking over all of the up and coming trips. He had a head ache just thinking about it. Seven missions within the next three months taking away from the families wanting there husbands and wives to be around. When in fact everyone will be working on the Seaview and the other two subs that he owns as well.

Nelson looked up at the clock with his specks on the bridge of his nose. Lee was going to be late if he doesn't hurry up getting here. When in fact there was a knock on his door all of a sudden. "Come." Admiral said.

Captain Lee Crane dressed in normal clothing had no idea what was going on. "Sir, you asked for me?" He said with sitting in front of him of his desk instead of perching himself. "What's going on Admiral?" He asked with a concern in his tone towards his boss.

"Lee, the Seaview will be leaving in a few days with calling everyone. You're be heading to Alaska once again for a inspection of the base, the pipe line and any new fissures that might of started up once again. Due to the new tremors the base has been feeling. I won't be coming along with all of the recent new paperwork that needs to be attended to with the seven new missions up and coming during the next three months. When is your wife Rose Marie supposed to be arriving back from Houston, Texas?"

"Her plane is supposed to be landing any minute. Her sister is picking her up at the airport to drive her over to the beach house. She will be able to take care of the boys and work at the lab here." Crane announced to his boss listening contently.

"Excellent! She will be able to help me out as well. While Angie and her husband Jeff are away on vacation for two weeks in Hawaii. But in the meantime I have called for Commander Stanley Kowalski and his abilities with the GILS to join you on the cruise."

"Are there going to be any other personnel coming along as well?" Crane had to asked with making sure that the Seaview had enough of Master Of Arms on board to protect the crew members.

"Chief Sharkley will be in charge to make sure that security will be keeping on there toes through out the entire trip. I don't wish to hear any ghost stories since Halloween will be here in two weeks Lee. "You get my drift Captain Crane?" Admiral Nelson reclaimed with his statement with shaking his head and the captain agreeing.

Carolyn Morton had received the phone call to give the message to her husband Chip Morton had just gotten back from playing nine rounds of golf with Kowlaksi, Patterson and Doc Jamieson.

When he had arrived home sweaty and hungry. He saw the look on her face indicating it must of had something to do with the Seaview and Admiral Nelson.

"When did the call arrive Carolyn?" He asked with heading towards the showers and changing into his uniform and packing quickly in the bedroom.

"An hour ago Chip. Go take your shower while I pack your things. It must be important to have everybody called back from leave." She said with going upstairs with her husband, as he took off his sweating clothing with putting on his grey flannel robe to head into the shower, while she took out the usual suit case that he brings on all trips for the Seaview.

When She opened the grey suitcase and opening it. She almost jumped out of her skin. When she saw a Halloween skeleton no doubt left by the grandchildren a week ago for when they were visiting.

"Jesus!" As her heart was racing a mild an hour. She started to pack after taking the skeleton out and placing it into the draw. Every thing was in it's place making it easy to pack his things for the trip. She had no idea where they were going,since he will call me later or in the morning before they leave no doubt.

Some time later abroad the Seaview. Commander Morton arrived with finding out the destination for where they were going. He saw Lee at the plotting getting everything into order with the destination for the navigator and engineering for when everyone is abroad soon.

"Who else is coming for the ride to Alaska and the inspection?" He said with standing across from Crane at the plotting table.

"Commander Stanley Kowalski." He replied before seeing Kowalski coming into the Control Room to check his radar station. He was tired from the nine rounds of golf. "Kowalski when is your brother supposed to arrive?" He asked.

"I spoke with him an hour ago on the phone. he should be here with-in the next thirty minutes sir." As he places the ear phones onto his head to make sure they were working.

"Thanks Kowalski." He replied with going back to the plotting table.

A few moments later...

Commander Morton looked over at Kowalski looking confused. "What's wrong ?" He said with Kowlaski standing up from his seat.

"I could of sworn that the radar wasn't working right after checking three times, it must be a sensor glitch of sorts Commander Morton. It's working perfectly now sir."

"Ok, I will leave you alone to your work." Morton replied. He was hungry after leaving the house without eating. "Lee, I hope you don't mine? I am hungry, so I will taking some time out to have something brought up front."

"Do so Chip! Order me a steak if possible with the usual sides that I like to have. I will have Kowlaksi take over while we are having dinner."
