34. A Funny Kind of Day
"Charlie, if I lose my grip on this ladder, we will never catch up to this boat."
"Then it is a good thing I have it anchored to the bottom of the ocean, isn't it Ann."
"God dammit, Charlie, if you did not fuck so well, I'd kill your sorry ass."
"Just remember, babe, I am keeping sea water and fish, out of an area they do not belong."
"Charlie you are going to kill me with that thing of yours."
"Would you like to rest for a while?"
"You stop what you are doing, and I will find your gun, and teach you how to dance with one less toe."
"You do realize this is very strenuous exercise for me. Holding onto a ladder with my hands; my feet pressed against the stern of the boat; my dick inside you trying to increase your pleasure, and all you are doing is complaining."
"I have you doing this, to work off those doughnuts you had at breakfast this morning. Those plus the sugarcoated cereals you eat are going to be the death of you."
"Ann, why can't you keep up with me on my five-mile run in the morning?"
"That is it, Charlie, you are dead man."
Ann pulled herself off him, and screamed, "Oh fuck, that hurt."
Charlie laughed, and started swimming away from the boat, as quickly as he could, because Ann was the better swimmer. Once she gathered her wits about her, and rose above the pain she encountered by pulling herself off of his engorged organ, she would go after him like the man-eating shark she was.
When she finished rubbing her sore pussy, she looked for him and found him 30 yards away from the boat, swimming away like a jelly fish. This was the one area she was far superior to him. She dove into the water, and ate up the distance with every stroke of her arms.
Charlie saw her coming, and decided on a tactic he had used successfully before. He submerged, did a U-turn and headed back towards the boat.
When Ann lost sight of him, she knew what he had done. However, she caught sight of something else that concerned her and she needed Charlie to look at it before it went away. She dove immediately, and saw him pass underneath her. She tapped his foot, but he did not stop, thinking it was still a game. She grabbed his ankle and jerked on it, and this time he stopped.
She pointed up.
When he surfaced he asked her what the problem was. She pointed to a black object about 2 feet above the surface moving north.
Charlie did not answer her, except to say, "We have to get back to the boat, now."
As soon as his feet hit the deck, he started the blower fans for the engines, ran for the chain to the anchor and put it on the automatic winch. Then he called the Coast Guard. "Vandenberg Coast Guard this is Point Breeze out of San Luis Obispo over."
"This is Coast Guard, what is your emergency."
"Coast Guard, Point Breeze has spotted a drug smuggling submarine snorkeling off Monte de Oro State Park northbound at approximately 6 knots. I am weighing anchor to pursue. I will keep you updated on position."
"Point Breeze, how do you know it is a drug smuggling submarine over."
"Coast Guard, my name is Charles Gomes, former FBI Special Agent Drug Task Force Brooklyn, New York. I just retired last Monday. You can check my identification with that office."
"Roger Point Breeze, take no action. We will call in help."
"Roger, Coast Guard, Point Breeze is getting underway."
Ann was in control of the boat, simply because Charlie had no idea what to do with it, except the jobs she had taught him so far. He told her where he wanted to be, and she got him there in no time at all. He was up at the bow of the boat, with the field glasses, looking for that little telltale sign that a snorkel gives off in the water. A white wake going in a direction, where one does not belong.
Within five minutes he had it in sight and had Ann move to within 100 yards, directly astern of it. Then, he had cut the power of the engines to a point where he could barely hear them.
45 minutes later, their radio crackled and it was the Coast Guard asking him for his position. He gave them his GPS coordinates, and the Coast Guard said they were 10 minutes away. Air Force helicopters were about three minutes behind them from Vandenberg Air Force Base.
The next thing Charlie heard was the loud horn of a Coast Guard Cutter, coming in from the West. Shortly afterwards, two Coast Guard helicopters arrived on the scene, from the north and four US Air Force helicopter gunships that normally guard the rocket base, from the east.
