Halloween Cruise
Chapter Two
Sometime later...Both Commander Chip Morton and Captain Lee Crane were off duty with most of the crew arriving. Executive Officer for the over night watch Stu Riley took over for them with it now very quiet. He was sitting at the plotting table, when all of a sudden he heard a noise coming from top side. Along with a chill going down his spine.
As it turned out to be Chief Sharkey and two of the Master of arms officers arriving. Sharkey was away with his wife Julieanna Moore visiting her parents in San Francisco. Turning to face the three he says the following to them.
"Welcome abroad gentlemen. We will be leaving tomorrow since just about everyone has arrived. I suggest you get some rest with the trip to Alaska." The executive officer announced in a serious manner.
"Is Admiral Nelson abroad Riley?" Sharkey asked. It's been almost two weeks since he had seen the Admiral and Captain Crane with everyone being on leave.
"He's not coming this trip. It's going to be mostly Captain Crane and Commander Morton in charge with the inspection in Alaska. Before I forget Sharkey. Commander Stan Kowalski has arrived as well for the trip and the inspection with the using of his GILS."
"Thanks, I will see on whether he's up or not. I am very interested in speaking with him in regard to security. Excuse me, I need to go.

Alaska Military base
THE NEXT DAY
General Waverly had his employees check for any cracks in the ground with the recent tremors. Even though under ground graphs indicate there shouldn't be any further tremors for awhile.
He was in his office checking for when the Seaview is supposed to be here to inspect the under ground pipe line. The last time was eight months ago when there was a great deal of damage. And the fact that Admiral Nelson had put together an implosion bomb to closed up the shaft for where the tumors had started from.
Signing off on paper work and placing back the craved pumpkin on his desk. Only to be knocked down onto the floor. It was at this time there was a knock on his office door. "Come in please." General Waverly replied with finishing the last of his decorations behind him and his desk.
He looks up from the desk. It was Doctor Carl Simone recently transferred from Washington state military base for the last five years. "What can I do for you, doctor?"
"I have the full report on the last five employees I was able to do before the tremor hit the base. Everyone is doing well accept the fact that everyone is scared. They don't know on whether the next tremor will be hitting again General. I understand that Admiral Nelson's submarine the Seaview will be coming to inspect the same area as before?"
"Yes that is correct Doctor Simone. They won't be here for at least four or five days depending on there top speed. They should be contacting me at some point. Thank you for the report, I shall check it out once you leave to head back to sickbay." He said to the doctor turning around to leave.

It was around seven a.m. in the morning for when the Seaview had left port to head for Alaska. Admiral Nelson had given final orders to Captain Lee Crane late last night waking him from a sound sleep., and thinking he saw a shadow in his cabin.
There was nothing there at all when he was able to open his eyes fully and seeing nothing at all. After speaking with Admiral Nelson, he called home to see on whether Rose Marie was still up.
"Jesus Lee! Why are you calling so late? I only just got to sleep with the boys wanting to stay up to watch a Halloween movie, only to scare them a great deal. Between me and Andrea, we were finally able to get them to sleep. What's going on?" She asked with sitting at the edge of the bed now with the phone in her ear.
"Just checking in sweetie. I was woken earlier by Admiral Nelson giving me last minute instructions. So I called you afterwards." Lee replied with a yawn and planning on going back to sleep in a few moments.
"Gee thanks Lee. Call me when things have settled down before you reach Alaska. I will have my hands full with the boys getting the beach house in order for Halloween and the lab. Love you...see you soon!" She hangs up the phone and placing it back on the hook.
He was able to head for his bed and move under the grey and blue blankets. Turning for a brief moment. He saw the shadow again only to disappear quickly. He was thinking to himself with someone pulling a Halloween prank. He would try to get to the bottom of it in the morning with talking to Master of Arms.
