Chapter 32th
With the crisis averted with Kowalski and his diving team repairing the hull damage. However with the count of crew members, they had lost ten total with the hull damage. Even Admiral Nelson was upset with the lost count needing to write letters to those families once they are able to head back to Santa Barbara.
Commander Chip Morton came to sickbay since the doctor decided to keep him in sickbay deflying his orders about expressing with wanting to go back to his cabin to rest. So he had Morton to bring some of his paperwork to read and sign with his glasses. Though his dizziness had abated somewhat to sit up finally. He walked into the alcove to see the Admiral feeling better even though wanting to leave.
"Sir I have those reports for you along with the one from General Norton." Chip said to have an odd expression from him.
"I am sure both the captain and General Norton is happy they finally figured out just who were the spies on board his vessel. And expressing that we end the exercises to head back home." Nelson said with Morton agreeing to the idea off going home.
"So you're giving the order to head home sir?" Chip needed to asked just to be sure.
"Damn right I am Chip. I am tired of all this BS with the spies, enemy submarines and explosions. Give the order to head back to Santa Barbara while informing General Norton." Nelson replied with placing on his glasses...
"Sure sir. I know Lee is going to be thrilled to see us back after he's been relaxing back at the beach house." Chip surmised...

Santa Barbara BEACH HOUSE 12.30 Noontime
Captain Lee Crane, Rose Marie and his two boys were enjoying themselves on the beach swimming and enjoying the beautiful weather under the umbrellas and placing enough of sun tan on their skins.
Rose Marie wearing her famous two piece bathing suit to drive her husband just plain wild as he was watching her coming out of the water with the two boys loving the water.
William and James age 7 and 8 years of old were smart as a wipe for when it comes to their studies. Rose Marie called out to them to head back to the umbrellas and to drink water or food.
She sits down next to her husband laying down on the cotton blanket on the sand. He looked up at her with a stare that had made her self conscience. "WHAT?" She said strongly and loud enough for the two boys to hear.
"Nothing really. Other then the fact the Seaview is on the way back to port and I will be glad to be getting back to the command of the Seaview. I would love to read the report on what exactly happened with the exercise with the U.S.S. Exeter. It was exciting enough early on when I was abducted and then attacked into the hospital. Thank god Doctor Jamieson had released me for duty. Though he's going to be retiring soon from the Seaview and Institute."
"And he deserves it Lee. He's worked too hard over the years to finally take it easy with his wife. And no doubt try some of his famous fishing." She will have said with bending down to kiss Lee on his dry, chapped lips.
"I think we have better end this now and get inside the house before all of us get burnt as a lobster in spite the fact we are under a umbrella. How about we see if your sister will be interested in taking the two boys for the night and give is some time together? If you know what I am talking about Rose Marie?"
"Yes on both accounts Lee. Let me go inside the beach house to make that call to my sister. I know the two boys will be thrilled with the idea as well." She state with getting up to head for the house with wearing her black thongs on her feet.
Moving inside the house to drop off her towel and water bottle. She walked over to the house phone to call her sister Elizabeth. Her sister two years younger than Rose Marie.
Elizabeth pregnant being four months after the biggest of their lives. She and her husband had been trying to have a baby for six years not really knowing what was wrong. Even though their doctors had said that their wasn't anything wrong to try and be patience and relaxed during the sex act. She was sitting outside in the garden with her feet up reading a mystery novel by Stephen King of years earlier. The phone was sitting next to her when the phone started to ring. She picked it up to find out who it might be.
"This is Elizabeth Connors how can I help you today?" She said nicely with her voice calm and cool.
"Sis it's Rosemarie. How are you feeling?" She will asked...
"If you're asking for me to take on the two boys this evening the answer is a yes. David is going to love it having William and James over since he's going to be home soon. By the way any word on when the Seaview is going to be arriving home to Santa Barbara?"
"From what I understand with calling communications at the Institute they will be home in six days with having some hull damage. I don't know the entire story on what exactly had happened."Loreile will mention.
