"Really?" Krieg was silent for a moment. "Is he also on the seaQuest?"
The others were nodding. "Yes."
Krieg turned up his nose. He now knew who they were talking about, but he wasn't that famous… "Captain Bridger."
The others shook their heads. "No!"
"Hey guys, it has to be Bridger. I ruled everybody else out with my other questions before."
Lucas shook his head. "No, that's not true. You're forgetting a very important person. And by the way, you ruled out Bridger with your other questions too. He is over 50, and his hair is more grey than dark."
"Do we have a famous cook in the kitchen?" Ben was getting really annoyed.
"No, you're still forgetting someone important," said the teenager.
"Who did I forget?" Krieg's voice had gotten louder.
Now the computer genius was 100 sure that Ben would never get it on his own. They couldn't make it any clearer. "You forgot yourself."
Now the supply officer was totally confused. "What?" But then it suddenly dawned on him. He ripped the paper from his forehead and read: Lt. Benjamin Krieg. In shock, he looked at the letters that clearly Lucas had written. If the boy wasn't so sick he would have pulled him up in a fireman's carry and thrown him in the Moon Pool. But since he was sick…
The teenager was grinning wildly, really sad that he didn't have camera. The look on Ben's face when he suddenly understood was priceless. "Do you remember my first day on the seaQuest? You were kind of mean at first, but when you realized who I was and what I was capable of, you were suddenly extreme friendly. You told me that I could come to you with everything, no matter what. You could get anything. After all, you were the famous and notorious Lt. Krieg. Nobody could refuse you anything because celebrities always get special treatment. "
Ben put his head in his hands and shook it. What had he done to deserve this?
To Be Continued…
I know that was more that short. But I wanted this as an own chapter before I post the end of the story. This means only one more chapter left...
