Deception

Chapter 4

Chief Sharkey, Kowalski, and Patterson were called into Admiral Nelson's office as Captain Lee Crane advised them of the real situation.

"I should have known Captain that Admiral Nelson had something up his sleeve," Sharkey says with both Kowalski and Patterson still not believing the real story.

"It wasn't until I talked with Admiral Johnson that he was able to give me the whole scoop as to why the Admiral faked his death. And why I choose the three of three to come along with me to China to get him out of the country once he kills the three involved in the death threats." Lee exclaimed by looking at the faces of his men that he trust the most.

"I just don't get it Skipper as to why to all-out like this to kill just three terrorists?" Patterson had to get the question off his chest.

"Not just terrorists Patterson. These are the very same man responsible awhile back for trying to kill us all and the Seaview. Authorities weren't able to keep them in prison long enough. It was three months ago for when Admiral Nelson started to receive the death threats." Lee announced with his statement.

"And what is it Skipper that we are supposed to do when we are there?" Kowalski asked with his curiosity in tow.

"We are to make sure we get him out of the country via the FS-1 that is going to be hiding at the harbor four miles away from the Embassy. We will have Admiral Nelson and his wife Kayla(Sylian) Nelson to worry about. Even though she has her own contacts to help them both with the information provided."

All of a sudden the phone rang from the outer office. It was Angie calling letting him know that his wife Rose Marie arrived with his personal things from the beach house that he was going to be needing for the trip. "Please let her come into the office, Angie." He says to her over the intercom.

"Right away Captain Crane." A moment later Rose Marie walked in with a small suitcase with his things that will be needed.

Lee turned to face his wife also carrying another small type of cloth bag. "Did you bring the special explosives for the Embassy?" Lee said with Rose Marie walking over to the desk to remove the item he spoke about. "Excellent! This will certainly do the job gentlemen," Lee says to Sharkey, Kowalski, and Patterson.

"Sir, do you want me to have the FS-1 made ready on board the Seaview?" Sharkey asked with concern in his body language.

"Please do chief. Security already knows that we will be taking the FS-1 out for a flight, even though it wasn't the truth." Lee said with a smirk on his face, while Rose Marie was quiet and didn't say a word. She was worried as hell with her husband and his combat team leaving for China to bring back Admiral Nelson."And chief have all scuba and weapons made ready for the trip, along with this little baby." He pointed to the explosive that was placed back into the cloth bag.

"Will do Captain Crane. Come on Kowalski and Patterson in order to get everything ready within the hour." He ordered with both men following behind anxious to get started on the flight.

Rose Marie waited for them to leave the office. She was very anxious to speak with her husband. "Lee, please be very careful going to China. Admiral Nelson should have known that you would be following?" She said softly with placing her arms around his waist.

"Probably Rose. I just hope to god that we will find him before the entire situation blows up in his face." He takes in a deep breath and then exhaling to let go of some of the tension happening in his body.

"Sweetie bring him back in one piece. I will let the boys know that their father is on a special mission to rescue someone special." She says with letting go of her husband before quickly kissing him and leaving the office.

"I love you, Rose. I need to do this no matter how hard it might be after what has happened." Lee stated with watching his beautiful wife leave the office to head back to the beach house.

Meanwhile on board the FS-1. Chief Sharkey was installing a very special piece of equipment that even Captain Lee Crane didn't know about. Kowalski and Patterson dressed in fatigues were watching the Chief screw in the device on the side of the co-pilot's seat.

"The skipper is going to be really surprised chief!" Patterson made the statement while checking the weapons locker and placing the explosive inside until needed. He also checked the scuba gear for six people once they get the Admiral and his wife out of china.

"He sure will be Patterson. No doubt Rose Marie never mention it to him sometime during the past few weeks. Admiral Nelson wanted to be sure to have it installed for test flights." Sharkey replied by placing the last screw into the bracket.

Twenty minutes later Captain Lee Crane arrived in his green fatigues anxious to get started. "All right everyone is everything all set to go?" Lee asked strongly with his order.

"Aye Skipper. And including this little baby. We won't have any trouble getting into the country with the cloaking device." Sharkey said to have the skipper shaking his head on how they were able to achieve it by placing the cloaking device on board. "I don't want to know Chief. Just as long it works when it's needed." He didn't say anything further into the subject. "Kowalski do we have clearance to take off?"

"Aye captain," Kowalski says with everyone tightening their safety straps to began the flight taking some five hours to reach the destination.
