Nelson Follies
Chapter Nine
"Lee, what are you trying to tell me?" Nelson asked with grave concern in his tone of voice. Placing the files back onto his desk.
"Sir, it would seem that all three of the doctors had been kidnapped a long time ago. They have either been taken to a country and placed into prison or they have been killed. Doctor Teo Reign doesn't know for sure. All he knows that it was their job to destroy the project with the final payment to be electronically sent into the accounts." Lee said with shifting his position on the edge of the desk. His leg was beginning to bother him once more, so he decided to sit down onto a chair.
"What about the submarine Doctor Reign mention?" Nelson needing to know before heading back home to Santa Barbara, California.
"I don't think they will be bothering us sir with them attacking. There are just too many vessels in the area to have them take the chance of being caught. If you like, I can take the FS-1 with Kowalski using the scanner to see if the enemy submarine is no longer around?"
"Go ahead Lee. However I warn you to be very careful with the search. If you find anything, please don't tangle with the sub and head back to the Seaview. Understand my order Captain Crane?" Nelson was serious and he didn't need to be losing his captain and Kowalski in the process.
"Very well sir, I know it's late, maybe we will have the advantage this time around." Lee moved to the intercom to call Kowalski and the Control room to have the FS-1 made ready. "Excuse me sir, while I get myself ready for the flight." Lee says with a slight frown on his face.
"Good luck Lee." He gets up to shake his hand quickly before leaving.

Twenty five minutes later Captain Lee Crane flying the FS-1 with Kowalski sitting in the co-pilot's seat holding the scanning device to search for a submarine. Lee headed in the direction that Doctor Teo Reign had mention, while Admiral Nelson had Doctor Rebecca Rae brought to his cabin for questioning. Even though she wasn't able to begin her trek with trying to destroy the project device. She had a feeling that everything was coming to a halt with the plan. In a big way she was glad in a way after taking just too many chances.
"Anything Kowalski?" Lee asked with making a slight adjustment to the course.
"Nothing! However there has been nothing but a ton of fish and including one large whale making its way into the area sir."
Lee slightly chuckled to break up the tension inside the FS-1. "We will continue on with these coordinates for another hour before deciding to head back to the Seaview.
A few more minutes with Kowalski making an adjustment on the device. "Sir, I found something on the scanner. Take a look Captain." He bends closer to show the captain the direction of the submarine. "If I didn't know better Captain, the submarine has been hit by something to have it damaged, I believe killing all on board."
"It does look like that Kowalski. I am going to head down to check it out further. Hold on it's going to be a quick sweep with listening to the Admiral's orders." The FS-1 moving at the speed of 1200 knots slowed the decent hitting the surface before moving under the water heading for the position of the enemy submarine.
Moments later they reached the submarine with the entire surface of the submarine destroyed by some sort of an explosion. "Sir, there is radiation coming from the submarine, we need to move away from here and alert the military to have them check it out further and quarantine the area.."
"I agree Kowalski. Radio the Seaview that we are heading back to the Seaview and let them know the reason." Lee ordered making the change in the course to head back up into the sky.
"Aye Captain." Kowalski went to work with calling Sparks of the Seaview.

"Doctor Rae, I am giving you a choice with having protection after what was done with the original three doctors. Why did you do this in the first place?" Nelson asked with a guard inside his cabin and another outside in the corridor.
"For money and the country I was born Admiral Nelson. I am just glad it's over with. I was getting tired of late with taking too many chances." She noted with sadness with her body movements and demeanor.
"I will see what I can do Doctor Rae with getting you the best deal possible, as with the other two as well. I just hope someday you will be able to forgive yourself for what had been done." Nelson replied with annoyance and anger building further in his voice. "Guard take Doctor Rae to the brig in a separate cell from Doctor Seamus and Doctor Teo Reign." He ordered with the guard placing the cuffs back on behind her back to head on out of his cabin.
After she left the cabin. Admiral Nelson called Sparks to contact ONI for this sector to let them know what has been going on.
"Aye sir, I will contact Admiral Trebeck." Sparks replied with moving his hands pushing in the correct frequencies along with having to be scrambled.
