“Escape to where?” Ridgeway asked. “You saw what we passed
over on the flight here. There’s nothing out there.”
“They’ve got to have a way to get around. Boats, or escape
pods, or maybe even a seaplane hanger. This base is enormous. We just need to
find something,” Martin said with more courage than he felt.
Ridgeway quietly considered the plan, sparse as it was. “I
suppose, at least, a walk around couldn’t hurt.”
They left the cabin and crept back up the passageway the way
they’d been brought. Martin took the lead. Coming to a blind corner, he paused
and motioned Ridgeway to retreat to a discrete distance. Then he poked his head
around.
It was the exact wrong moment. Captain Land was coming down
the hall toward him and noticed the surreptitious movement.
“Halt!” she shouted. “Guards!”
Ridgeway, who’d been behind, managed to escape capture, but
Martin wasn’t so lucky.
“So you want to leave our installation?” Land asked him
before she had him shoved into the tube. “We can certainly accommodate that.”
A large cover was lowered into place, and Martin could hear
screws being tightened. It had a tiny porthole in it, through which he could
still see the Captain.
Martin watched as Land pointed to somebody. He didn’t know
it was a technician who pulled a lever to open the tube to the deep.
Martin was ejected through a torpedo door. Nautilus Base was
currently keeping station far below the surface, and the pressure of the water crushed
the lieutenant immediately.
Inside, Land was furious. “That’s one,” she screamed at her
minions. “Now find the other!”
