Keith rolled over onto his back and slowly opened his eyes. Looking around he remembered he was in a closet full of rubber boats. He glanced over at Josh Stoner who was asleep face down with his arms folded under his head. I still can’t believe I actually punched the Captain, he thought. I should have known that he was putting on an act. How absurd of me to believe that he would call Beverly such a foul name. You really need to think before you act Keith, he told himself. He wondered if Beverly was worried about him. He certainly was worried about her. Would she be OK without him there to protect her? Hopefully Wayne is watching over her.

Josh began to stir, and Keith reached over and gently shook him. The Captain’s eyes fluttered open and he quickly sat up.

“I wonder how long we’ve slept,” said Josh rubbing his eyes. “I think we are making up for all the sleep we’ve been missing lately.” He stretched his arms up to the ceiling and then out behind his back. “I’m hungry. What about you?”

Keith nodded in agreement.

“I don’t know about you, but even raw fish sounds good right now,” said Josh.

Keith laughed. “Yes,” he said, “I’d welcome some fish.”

Josh crawled over to the hatch door and opened it just a crack. The hallway was very quiet. He picked up his canvas bag and retied it around his waist. Then he leaned out of the chamber and quickly jumped out. Keith followed suit joining the Captain on the tunnel floor. They crawled tentatively down the corridor heading toward the Dispatch office. As they approached the front door, Josh inched his way to the edge of the open doorway. Peering in he saw a guard seated at a round reception desk. The guard’s head was down on his chest, and he was snoring loudly. Josh motioned for Keith to follow, and they both slowly crept past the office entry. They continued crawling down the tunnel until they came to a wall. They needed to go either north or south. Looking up they saw the directional sign.
