Deception Tdelicot Summary: Admiral Nelson fakes his death making all of his friends think that someone had shot him using a body double with Doctor Jamieson announcing the Admiral dead once Lee and others begin to think otherwise.
Chapter 1
Office of Naval Intelligence
San Francisco
Admiral Harriman Nelson arrived at the main office of ONI for this sector of the West coast. The past few months there had been a number of death threats against Admiral Nelson with no idea just who was behind it. Now it was time to put a plan into action with only a limited of people to know.
No one working at the Institute accepts Doctor Jamieson will be involved with knowing the real reason behind the murder of Admiral Nelson. Admiral Johnson had been waiting for Nelson an hour now in his office. When his secretary advised him that Admiral Nelson had arrived.
"Come in Harriman and please be seated. I have made a sweep of this office for any type of bugs that someone that is behind the threats will be listening in to this conversation." Johnson advised his long-time friend of the news.
"Fair enough Bill, I just don't need to have this get out to the wrong people once I begin this deception. It's going to be hard for Captain Crane and the crew of the Seaview." He exhaled thinking about the plan and the pain it was going to cause.
"I understand Harriman. However, trying to go after someone posing as yourself is much harder." He advised with harshness in his tone.
"I won't be going to China as myself. I will be able to change my appearance by changing my hair color, contacts, and other features. Doctor Jamieson knows two friends in the field to make the changes. Even though I had to fight tooth and nail to have him do this for me. He knows the risks Bill and is willing to go through with it until I am able to catch those men behind it."
Admiral Johnson offered Harriman Nelson a drink for which he accepted. Opening the bottle draw of his desk, he pulled out the bottle of old Scotch that had been sitting for a year or so for this type of occasion. Pouring two healthy glasses of the Scotch and handing him one of the glasses. "To luck Harriman!" He replied with taking a sip of the Scotch going down his throat and his stomach making it burn a little.
"Thanks," Nelson said with swallowing the scotch quickly while placing the empty glass onto his desk and getting up to leave the office.
"Please be sure to keep me abreast of the situation by sending me a coded message if possible." Admiral Johnson responded by shaking his hand before leaving to began the deception starting in Nelson's office.

Nelson Institute Time 5.30 P.M.
Admiral Nelson was in contact with Miles Deegan the man that was changed to look like Admiral Nelson. Nelson had called his secretary Angie to go on home that she was needed for the rest of the evening.
Admiral Nelson had Deegan arrive through the gate hidden in the trunk of Nelson's vehicle to head for his office. None of the guards at the main gate had any idea just what was going on at this particular time.
Nelson opened up the trunk of the car to let out Deegan and moving quickly into the outer office. Doctor Jamieson was on his way into the Institute after visiting old friends twenty miles south of the Institute. He was very anxious to get this plan over with and get back to his work in the medical center.
Nelson one time went over the plan with Deegan dressed exactly like Nelson in his uniform without the jacket to be hanging up after getting back from a meeting with Admiral Johnson. It was going to be circuited that Admiral Nelson was visiting friends in San Francisco.
"Deegan, are you sure you know the plan?" Nelson asked with taking the gun out of his pocket.
"Sure I know Admiral. When is the doctor going to get here?" He says with his nerves on edge since he was going to be given a shot in the arm by the doctor making him simulate death, along with placing a bullet along with fake blood to make everyone think.
It was at this particular moment when Doctor Jamieson arrived at Nelson's office making sure he closed the door and locked it. They didn't need to have anyone walking in on the plan and ruin it.
Doctor Jamieson pulled out the syringe filled with the drug to simulate death with Deegan. "Is everybody ready?" Doc asked with a serious demeanor while watching Nelson change his clothing and placing them into a duffle bag to head out the back way for where a small speed boat was waiting for him away from the guards of the Institute.
"Doc, Thanks for your help in this matter. I just wished there was another way without having to hurt everyone. My wife Sylian will meet me at the airport since she knows what to do as well, even though she still doesn't understand as to why they had to travel to China."
"She will eventually understand later on once it's all over Harriman. Best of luck." Doc replied with watching Admiral Nelson climb out the back window of his office running to the harbor.
