Under Cover

Chapter One

Captain Lee Crane just didn't believe it that he finally made the decision to quit all together as the Captain of the Seaview after all of these years. He was forced into it after Admiral Nelson had asked him to go on a secret mission for ONI to retrieve a special computer chip from Irag's military base.

Admiral Nelson had receive the information from a long time source telling him that the Irag's under ground were able to acquire a nuclear missile that can travel further then the normal speeds. This was not going to be good news with the alliance and Darien.

It would be Nelson's job to send his best man for the job to get into the base under cover dressed as one of the soldiers along with another man on board the Seaview that speaks the language. Ensign Jeri Hassah recently transferred in from the overseas Irag military International fleet.

Inside Nelson quarters...

"Look Lee, you have no choice but to go. Plus you're the best man to go on this mission with Ensign Jeri Hassah. " Nelson replied standing up in his cabin instead of sitting in his chair.

He was mostly angry at his captain for acting like this. He knows about Rose Marie being at the beach house carrying their third child. But it's not stopping her from working on her projects for the Institute.

"If this is the case Admiral Nelson. Once I am done with this mission. I will give up my position as Captain of the Seaview. This was my chance to finally do it after certain people tried to talk me out of it. I have other obligations now with Rose Marie pregnant again. Plus it will give me a chance to do other things in my life that I have been holding back all of these years." He states with Nelson shaking his head at what his best friend had said to him about quitting.

"I am very sorry to hear this Lee. Even though now is not really the time for it. Especially with the Alliance up in arms with the reason nonsense with the aliens kidnapping the two pilots and having escaped. What do you think Rose Marie will think about it?" He took in a deep breath into his straining lungs.

"I have a feeling sir, she is going to like the idea. She has been after me for the past five years to quit as Captain of the Seaview. Now if you will excuse me I will read this file at home and let you know when I and the ensign will be ready." Lee said with moving up from the chair in front of his desk to head out of the Seaview and home.

Ensign Jeri Hassah was at the communications center when the message came in with the confirmation from Admiral Nelson to be on alert for the mission to Irag. CAPTAIN LEE CRANE WILL BE IN CHARGE OF MISSION. PLEASE FOLLOW ALL ORDERS PER SAY ONCE JUMPING OUT OF TRANSPORT PLANE TO LAND AND MEET UP WITH THE AMERICAN UNDER GROUND. ADMIRAL NELSON OUT...

He couldn't believe in what he was reading. He was going back to Irag for a mission for which he has been out of their for three months with now serving on board the Seaview. He would have to wait for further orders and information on what Captain Lee Crane and himself would be doing on the mission.
