THIRTY-ONE
Detach came close to slapping Broce. The young man fidgeted and paced as if he were a caged lion.
âWhy donât we just hook a cable to the thing and lift it from up here?â Broce pointed down to the sea. âOr, how about just leaving that one and using another one. We have plenty.â
âThree reasons.â Detach held up a finger. âOne. If Elroyâs right, itâll probably set the thing off and destroy the tower.â He did not need to add that it could rupture the cold fusion power pack mounted to it. A second finger. âTwo, we donât want any explosions to damage the wreck any more than it already is. Itâll make our job that much harder.â He held up the third finger. âWe canât leave it behind. Period, and you know why.â He did not need to go into the cold fusion power pack.
âFour,â Becky said. âIn case that creature is still in there, we donât want to hurt it, or⦠piss it off.â
âElroy, how you doing?â Detach spoke into the microphone on Rubyâs control box.
âItâs what Iâve been brought here for. While Iâm on the way down, power up the other towers. Iâll need all the light I can get.â
âWeâll have to run the cables down from the generator.â Barry gave Detach a knowing look.
Detach wished they could just forget the ruse and turn them on by remote, instead of messing with the phony cables. However, they had to protect their secret technology. âBroce, head back out. Youâll need to run the cables. For now, forget about the deck side light array. I have a feeling we wonât need them anyway, as bright as these lights are.â
âWhen I reach the bottom, Iâll just hang tight. Get the kid down here, pronto. I donât want to stay here all day.â
Detach had been honest with Elroy and told him about the cold fusion power packs. Broce knew the secret also. As a budding electrical engineer, the kid would have smelled a rat when he had to hook up the cables to obviously dead terminals, especially ones open to the water.
With time to kill, Detach found Vladimir back on the fantail, watching the other boats trolling for the creature. He waved to grab the Russianâs attention.
âAfter this is over, I want you to get a good workout with the suit.â Detach gazed down at the water
âI am anxious to start,â the Russian said with a grin.
âIf you pick it up as well as I think you will, you can go down with me tomorrow afternoon, ifâ¦â Detach hesitated, âif we can get over a few âbumpsâ in the road.â
An hour later, and with much grumbling from an increasingly annoyed Elroy, the fake cables hung in place and the lights ready for Ruby to energize from her computer. Detach had gone over the gist of how the light system worked with her and he knew each light would receive a signal that turned on their fusion generators. At the same time,
