"Hey!"
Logan looked up from the computer screen that he'd been scrutinising."Hey, Max. Glad that you came by. I was just about to page you."
Max leant forward to study the contents of the screen over Logan's shoulder. She was so close that Logan could breathe in the scent of her shampoo.'God, I love the smell of her hair.'
"What's up?"
The question knocked him back to reality and to the disturbing news that they had to investigate.
"I've received a tip from one of my informants. By the looks of it, our government has decided to take Great Britain over and attempt world domination."
Max raised an incredulous eyebrow."Right...Logan? You do realise that our government officials smoke pot; and that we're not rich enough to take over an anthill, let alone the world's highest ranking superpower. Right?"
"I know it sounds far fetched, but it's possible. As Eyes Only, I have to prevent it. There's a huge shipment of state-of-the-art weapons leaving Seattle by the North Atlantic route, tomorrow afternoon. The first of many, I presume."
"Heavy stuff! What kind of weaponry?"
Logan shrugged."My informant hasn't a clue. All he knows is that it's technology that's been in progress since before the Pulse. It's never used before internationally and it's apparently quite unique to our country. It's up to us to check it out."
"Why don't you just e-mail King William and tell him that America's sending a warship to conquer them?"
"We want to keep this quiet. If the information's inaccurate and the King decides to declare war on us, the outcome isn't going to be pretty. I'm trying to save America, not antagonise her allies. Besides, even if it's accurate, innocent people are going to be killed if His Highness decides to bomb the ship."
"How the heck can innocent people be affected if the only people on the ship are those specially trained to use the weapons?"
"The ship is 'The Little Goddess' of the Artemis Fleet." stated Logan, as if that answered her query.
Max nodded and gestured for him to continue explaining and then realised the oddity herself.
"Wait, isn't Artemis a fleet of luxury ocean liners?"
"Exactly. It's one of the last in America. My guess is that they're hiding the ammo in a high-profile passenger ship because nobody would suspect it."
"Sorta like the Trojan horse..." Max mused.
"Exactly."
"Do we have a plan?"
"It's a work in progress, but basically, we sabotage the ammo before it reaches its destination."
"And hope that we don't blow ourselves up in the process?"
"I'm counting on you to know whether we should cut the white wire or the black one."
"So, are we passengers on 'The Little Goddess'?" asked Max with a grin which Logan returned.
"That we are."
"Ya know, I always wanted to go on vacation abroad."
"I hear England's lovely this time of year."
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Thus begins my tale. Romance, pain, laughter, joy and tragedy awaits our travellers on board the Titanic...I mean, "The Little Goddess"...
