More Than A Friend (Part 10)
“Are you ready for some night fishing?”
“What dad. What are you doing? Wishing?”
“No, we have our boat, remember”
“It is big enough to sleep two members.”
“While the third one keeps a lookout.”
“We will trade off, seeing what is about.”
“We will spend the night out there.”
“Every night till something comes to bare.”
“We have our fishing sonar to watch.”
“ Plus your night goggles. They are in the box.”
“Don’t forget, I have built in night vision.”
“That’s right Coz. I did forget. Am I forgiven?”
“Of course. I have telescopic vision also.”
“And soon, x-ray vision. Once I get the kinks to go.”
“I can hardly wait. That will really come in handy.”
So, that night, just past the jetty by the cove.
They sat and fished and waited as the sea rolled.
Three days later the sub appeared.
Dad woke the other two. “Is that it?” he feared.
“Yes.” They said. Excitement in their voices.
They just watched. They didn’t have many choices.
Same as before. A rubber raft rowed to shore.
Three men departed. They waited for more.
Soon, they returned and grabbed a box.
They carried it up to the parking lot rocks.
A car pulled up and they loaded it aboard.
The three returned and grabbed the oars.
They rowed back out to the sub.
The sub went under with a glug.
Dad started the boat and quickly gave chase.
They saw the sub on sonar and kept pace.
Twenty Three miles later the sub stopped.
Something on the bottom marked the spot.
Whatever it was, it was really huge.
Dad took down the latitude & longitude.
Coz and Tom put on their diving gear.
Over the side they went without any fear.
It was a deep decent to the bottom.
They had spear guns. Glad they got them.
They saw a super large city down there.
It was covered with a clear dome keeping in air.
The sub had gone through an air lock.
It was now inside, just visible from their spot.
They considered trying to get inside.
Changed their minds and ascended with pride.
Back on the boat, they told dad what they saw.
He just listened. Mouth open with awe.
He said they would inform the aliens.
Give them the latitude & longitude. “let’s begin.”
This done, they returned home.
Soon, they were feeling all alone.
Then the aliens contacted them.
Said all other androids were informed of them.
When the right time arrived, which would be soon.
They would attack the underwater fortress of doom.
Probably, they would blow it up.
Being inside would really suck.
So, they had some time to meditate.
All were thinking about their possible fate.
That story will be told when there is no moon.
That means it will be fairly soon.
