Nelson Follies

Chapter Ten

Admiral Trebeck was shaking his head in the office of ONI for the western sector one hundred miles away from the base for which the Seaview had visited. He just couldn't believed the story from Admiral Nelson with recent reports about the great work the three doctors had been working on. But to find out that they had been replaced to destroy the program all together.

"I just can't tell you, Harriman. But if they need the protection, I will see what I can do. But it's not going to be easy trying to convince my superiors with the facts. I suggest Harry that you get the Seaview back to Santa Barbara, California as quickly as possible. The U.S. Government needs that device very badly to begin further testing." He noted with taking a sip of his cold water from the silver pitcher near his desk.

"I will have Commander Morton to change our speed to flank speed, I don't wish to take any further chances with my submarine and with the safely of the crew. No doubt Captain Lee Crane will agree with me once he gets back from his search of the enemy submarine." Nelson exclaimed with his worry status of his captain and close friend from over the years.

"Harry, please be sure to be me updated on the situation and the three doctors in your brig. Transmission out." He ended the call to continue on with his paperwork and later meeting with his command staff.

Meanwhile Admiral Nelson decided to leave his cabin to head for the Control room to see what was going on with the FS-1. Taking a few moments to reach the level of the Control Room. There was a whirlwind of activity with the crew members working. Commander Chip Morton was standing over Patterson's shoulder on radar watching the FS-1 heading back to the Seaview. Nelson walked down the spiral staircase heading for Morton's position.

"What's wrong Chip?" Nelson asked with placing a hand onto his shoulder.

"The FS-1 is heading back after reporting finding the enemy submarine with the hull crushed with all hands killed. They had to leave the area with radiation being emitted sir. A coded message was sent to the local military vessels in the area to steer clear until the radiation clears." Morton said with watching the FS-1 arriving getting ready to berth with the Seaview.

Looking around for Chief Sharkey. Nelson asked Chip the following question. "Why isn't Chief Sharkey here in the Control room?"

"He's working in the Reactor room checking out the reactor for any further lost of power finding out it was caused from the device the three doctors tried to destroy sir." Morton replied with heading for the front of the observation nose to help berth the FS-1.

With the keel hatch opened, the FS-1 with Captain Crane and his co-pilot entered to head up into the bow of the Seaview. Commander Morton opened up the hatch to have the group climb up the hatchway stairway. Captain Lee Crane begin to speak with Admiral Nelson telling him about the destruction of the enemy submarine.

"Do you know just what might of attacked them in the first place Lee?" Nelson responded with the question heading on over to the plotting table.

Rubbing a hand through his hair and the back of his neck with the onset of exhaustion from the past few days. Lee said to his friend and boss of the Nelson Institute. "Don't have a clue Admiral, but it did seem it was attacked with the entire submarine having been crushed. And besides they won't be causing us any further trouble with the three in the brig. What's our speed Chip?" He turned to face his best friend Commander Morton.

"We are at flank speed with the Admiral's orders." Chip announced with Admiral heading for the radio shack to send a coded message.

"Very well Chip, I shall be going to my cabin to rest for a few hours. When is Commander Adams supposed to be taking over the watch?" Lee says with a yawn coming on from being exhausted.

"One hour Lee, I will be able to go off watch as well with the Seaview heading home." He watched Lee take the spiral staircase not waiting to speak with Admiral Nelson further.

Sometime later after speaking with the Military Witness protection program. Admiral Nelson decided to speak with the fake doctors to let them know the following...

"Doctors, I don't know why I am bothering with this matter. However the military officials have decided to have all three moved to a maximum security location for where protection had been granted the three of you, even though security agents were able too find out that the original doctors have been found dead in two different prisons in China and Russia." Nelson choked his words telling the information to the replicas standing in front of him in the brig with four Master of Arms officers making sure that nothing happens to the Admiral.

None of the three doctors had said anything with the guards with orders from the Admiral place them back into their cells. Even Doctor Rebecca Rae didn't bother to say one word about the entire matter. She just needed to hide from everyone. She sat back down onto her cot to lay down and try to get some sleep. It was basically the same with the other two.

Meanwhile in the Reactor room. Orders had come down from Captain Lee Crane and Admiral Nelson to remove the device and the control panel from the Reactor room and place it into the container that was in once it had arrived from Ireland and the three doctors. Chief Sharkey and three other engineers Ron Hanson, Greg and Robbie all have been serving on the Seaview for a long time.

Chief Sharkey had Hanson to place the container into the security area until the proper authorities would be able to remove it from the submarine. Admiral Nelson had received word that a convoy of Naval destroyers will be intersecting with the Seaview in eight hours sending a helicopter to pick up the three doctors and the device. General Trebeck had sent a coded message to Nelson an hour after the device was removed from the lab.

Kowalski working the radar station this particular watch had advised Captain Lee Crane now rested. He was standing behind him with Nelson and Morton had seen the blimps on the screen. "Sir the destroyers will be in the area the Seaview in 15 minutes." Kowalski said at his station with Patterson next to him at sonar.

Sparks came up to the Admiral with a message in his hand. "Thanks Sparks." He walked away to head back to his radio shack to continue working his board.

"Gentlemen, the helicopter will be arriving with-in the hour. We are to have everything ready for the transfer of passengers and the device." Nelson smiled slightly with the news and relaying it to his command staff. He was going to be glad to be rid of them and the device. "I shall be in my cabin. Lee please take care of details to have the prisoners brought up to the deck once the helicopter arrives." He walked away from them needing to head for his cabin and finish up his files before arriving home to Santa Barbara, California.

EPILOG...

The Naval Apache 230 helicopter arrived upon the deck of the Seaview near the conning tower. There was very little trouble with the cutting wind of the ocean with blues skies with the sun blazing. Captain Lee Crane, Commander Morton and Commander Jeff Adams were on deck with Sergeant Joey Maquire Ascott pilot was carrying the transfer of papers for the Captain to sign off.

The three doctors with the Master of Arms watching them had ordered them to move inside the Apache helicopter with helping them to get inside with the cuffs still behind their backs.

"Captain, I will be sure to let Admiral Trebeck know that everything had gone well with the transfer." Sergeant Ascott says with looking up into the sky with the sun blazing. He hated the heat with needing to get back into the helicopter to head back to his vessel.

"Good luck Sergeant. I will advise Admiral Nelson that the three had been handed off with the start of their protection." Crane said calmly...

"Hopefully they will be able to live a normal life after the crimes they had caused with the murders of the original three doctors. Excuse me, I need to get back on board the helicopter Captain."

"Of course!" Crane turned to face the helicopter with the device and three doctors now ready to take off with the Sergeant as the pilot. Moments later the helicopter had taken off heading for the destroyer named Cozi. "Secure the detail." Crane ordered with heading back down into the bow of the Seaview.

Five days later the Seaview arrived back to Santa Barbara, California with Angie waiting with Katya( Nelson's wife) at the dock, while Rose Marie was waiting for her husband at the Beach House not able to leave with needing to pick up the two boys from the school bus. School was letting out an hour earlier with Rose Marie receiving the information over the phone.

Angie was able to relay the information to Lee Crane heading for his own red Cobra parked. He was heading on home for his family after being away for a few weeks.

Admiral Nelson had a long report to ONI in regard to the entire matter with the three replaced doctors and the device.

Twenty five minutes later...

Lee Crane moved into the driveway of the beach house with leaving the hood up with the temperatures in the eighties. He was very excited to see his family. Walking into the beach house, it was quiet until he reached the backyard...His two boys reading with their mother after being picked up from the school bus. Christopher lifting his head was smiling when he noticed his father as with James and Rose Marie. Christopher ran over to his father just about knocking him over in excitement...

"It's wonderful to see all of you. Shall I see what your reading "Little man." His nickname for Christopher.

"Daddy, I am reading Moby Dick." His first born said with his wife giving him a cute smirk on her face.

"Well then shall we continue on with the reading session?" Lee said with sitting down next to his family...
