Under Cover

Chapter Eight

Captain Lee Crane was being careful with his moves while trying to keep an eye on Jeri in case he tries to pull something. Everyone else that was with them were moving slowly until they finally reached the entrance of the base.

It was at this time with Crane taking a deep breath into his lungs. Nothing happened expecting the soldiers to arrest them. Jeri moved inside with Crane to show him the diagram of where to place the explosives. They would have to be quick about it. While Doctor Rodique and his associates have left the base without anyone noticing with it being late at night.

"We need to take the elevator to the bottom level of the under ground silo and place the explosives." Jeri announced with walking into the elevator with the others. There were no cameras working right now having been deactivated by Doctor Rodique's under ground personnel.

"What about the cameras on the lower lever?" Crane asked with his stomach having butterflies currently. He was shaking his head as to why they weren't captured or dead by now.

"Deactivated as well Captain Crane. It should poise no problems with everyone asleep or off duty and have left the base at this time. All security officers are at a bare minimum." Jeri replied with the information as the elevator door opened into slight darkness on the level.

Everyone walked out and headed for there destination in areas that would blow up the entire silo and the missiles all five of them. Once the explosion takes place. The sky is going to be lit up like a Christmas tree with black smoke billing out from the silo and be seen for at least fifty plus miles.

Lee, Jeri and the under ground placed each of there explosives taking thirty minutes total before moving back towards the elevator and head back up and the tunnel. The explosives won't be going off for at least one hour and thirty minutes.

Running through the tunnel without incident. Crane was still waiting for trouble to happen soon. Maybe when they get out of the tunnel and head for the truck again. However as it turned out nothing happened. Everyone made it back to the black truck safe and sound and started to head off quickly and back to the under ground. As for how Lee and Jeri were going to get back to the Seaview and the Institute.

They would have to discuss it with Captain Isreal Kudfay when they are inside the under ground. Soon the silo was going to blow in 15 minutes. They would be reaching there destination in five minutes. They had to race to get inside before feeling the explosion and seeing the black smoke...

Six minutes later with everyone inside. This is when they felt it as everyone held on for dear life in case the tunnels ceilings fall in and kill everyone. But it didn't happen with only some rumblings. Crane, Jeri and Captain Kudfay went outside to look up at the sky to see the smoke traveling with the wind going from west to north...
