Chapter Two
It didn't take long for Patterson to find Sharkey and most of the crew from Seaview.
"Aren't you supposed to be on Seaview, Patterson?" Sharkey asked as Patterson hurried over to him.
"Admiral Nelson sent me to find you," Patterson said. "There's a problem."
Sharkey led him to a less crowded room and Patterson started telling him what was going on.
Meanwhile, Lee, Nelson and Chip were putting together a plan to take back the sub.
"We need to get into communications and try to reach Sharkey," Lee said. "The question is how? There's four of us against all of them."
"We'll figure out something," Nelson said. "And with Ski knocked out, it's just the three of us right now."
On the bridge, Bradfield and Jernigan stood talking at the front.
"As soon as possible we set a course for the island where we're meeting with Tajos," Bradfield said. "He'll deal with Nelson and the others himself."
Sharkey listened intently as what Patterson was telling him.
"Most of the men are here and I'm not sure where the rest is," Sharkey said. "Even if we don't get all of them, it should be enough to take back Seaview. Let's go talk to everyone."
Half an hour later, the twenty-seven men that were in the club was rounded up and they went in search for the more of men.
Consciousness slowly came back to Ski. His head felt heavy and slowly he was able to crack open his eyes. He could hear voices talking near him.
"Looks like someone's coming around," Lee said as he looked over at Ski, who had thrown one arm over his eyes.
"You okay Ski?" Chip asked as Ski tried to sit up.
"Yeah," Ski said squinting in the lights that were on in the room. "Dizzy."
Nelson turned on the lamp on his desk, then turned off the overhead lights to ease his uncomfortableness.
"Take it easy," Lee said. "We're working on a plan to get out of here. By now, Patterson should have located Sharkey and the rest of the crew."
Ski slowly fell back to sleep the tranquilizers still taking effect.
"I say the next time someone comes in, we take them and subdue them," Lee said. "We need to get out of here, contact Sharkey and somehow get weapons."
In the control room, Jernigan looked up from charts he was studying as Bradfield came in and over to him.
"Take Swan and Fields and bring Nelson and Morton to me," he told him. "If Crane and the other try to intervene, shoot 'em."
Jernigan motioned to the two men and they left to do what he asked. By the time Ski woke back up, he was feeling a whole lot better.
"Thanks," he said as Chip handed him a cup of water.
Just then they heard footsteps, then voices. Soon, they heard the key in the lock and the door swung open, revealing Jernigan and three men, guns drawn and pointed straight at them.
"Colonel wants your company, Nelson," Jernigan said and then looked at Chip. "You too, Mr. Morton. The rest of you, back up."
Swan kept his gun on Lee and Ski as Nelson and Chip were forced over to the door.
Lee glanced at Ski and nodded. They rushed the two men, quickly taking them down and wrestling their guns from them. At the same time, Nelson and Chip barreled into Jernigan, Fields and Reynolds.
They were able to subdue and dragged them into the room. They didn't know that Bradfield had followed them to make sure they did as they were told.
As they were tying them up, a shot rang out.
I know it's a little short, but the next chapter will be longer, I promise.
