Deception

Chapter 12

Diving underneath the blackness of the North Sea. Commander Kowalski and three others drove down to a secured section of the main pumping wells. It had seemed that four survivors in scuba gear at the time of the missile attacks were inside.

Moving on down further. Commander Kowalski speaking through the Gils in his neck was able to reach the section. Knocking onto the glass so that the survivors can see him and the others. He told them to stand back using a cutting torch in order to get them out and up to the surface.

"Here goes." He replied with being more than halfway through the glass while his associates helped with pulling the glass away to let the four survivors move out in the scuba. Stanley helped one of the younger workers up to the surface having injured his right leg.

Taking ten minutes to reach the surface. The Flyer was waiting for them to have the hatchway open and bring them inside and strapped in for the flight to the Seaview. Commander Kowalski climbed into the pilot seat making sure all was in order with the engines. "Commander Kowalski engines are at full power to take off." Chief Petty Officer Rogers a team member sitting on the side of him, while the four survivors had taken off the scuba masks and air tanks until they reach the submarine.

"Everyone please hold on. It's going to be a quick trip with the speed of the flyer." Kowalski smirked.

As the flyer headed up into the sky changing its course towards the homing beacon from the Seaview. All four of the Texaco oil rig survivors held on tightly in their seats

Captain Lee Crane having been ordered by the Admiral to head back out. "Lee, I know it's a great deal to ask with being tired. Sparks has received a coded message from ONI that it was a Titan submarine with the Terrorists on board that blew the oil rig. And I want you, Sharkey, Patterson, and Kowalski to find it and blow the damn sub out of the waters using the lasers onboard the FS-1." Nelson exhaled with his order not giving the four a chance to even breathe.

"Right away sir," Lee said by looking over at Sharkey while Patterson and Kowalski were coming up the hatchway. "Let's go gentlemen, we have an order to follow by the Admiral," Lee said with Sharkey following. While Patterson and Kowalski didn't know what to think at the moment.

Onboard the FS-1

"Is he kidding sir?" Patterson said sitting in the back with Kowalski checking the laser control panel making sure it was in working order.

Shaking his head. Captain Lee Crane said the following. "No, he's not Pat. We are here to do a job and get back safely. This is the FS-1, we are ready to take off." Lee said with his anger pestering even further.

"Roger, FS-1, and good luck!" Sparks announced over the secured communications line.

Captain Tellus checking the surface with his radar and sonar men in the old Titan submarine. He was standing impatiently behind them both waiting for an answer.

"Negative Captain." unison both men said doing their jobs under severe tension. None of the seven five terrorist groups on board expect to be coming back home with the mission. After they had destroyed the Texaco oil rig. They were awaiting orders for their next target or simply head back home.

And in the meantime the radioman came over to Captain Tellus with orders to head home. They were done with the work for now. "Ok, navigation change course to 027 at standard speed." He gave the order in Chinese before heading to his cabin for the duration of the trip. They were now finished as well with Admiral Nelson and his deception.

15 minutes out from the Titan submarine...

Kowalski replied to Captain Crane making a course adjustment. "Sir, take a look down below on the radar screen." He says with a slight smirk.

"Is the cloaking device still working Patterson?" Lee asked coy with the order.

"Yes sir...it is. We are going to catch them with their pants down this time Skipper." Patterson responded with Kowalski giving the location of being two miles with the submarine moving at standard speed.

"Chief Sharkey has the laser warmed up. We have a nice plum target to destroy to wrap up as a present for Admiral Nelson."

Taking a moment or two. Chief Frances Sharkey couldn't wait for him to push the button on the laser through the cloaking device.

Captain Lee Crane moved into position to have Sharkey fire at the target two hundred feet below the surface. "FIRE!" He announced and the fireball shot out of the bow of the FS-1 hitting its target catching it off guard...

"GOT HIM!" Sharkey cried out loudly.
