He cranked the engine harder, determined to get to his ships.
There’s only one helicopter.I have an army of men with plenty of guns that will take care of those agents.
By the time he arrived at the water’s edge, the helicopter hovered over his warehouse roof as black-clad agents dropped to the building below while taking fire.
Good.His men were doing their jobs.
Roaring drew his attention to the open landscape beyond the small marina, where an aurora of polar bears churned up snow and rock as they sped toward his facilities.
Panic rising, he glanced back toward his island compound across the water.
One ship had already left the small port.The other was gearing up its engine.It would keep going despite the raid, as instructed.
Adolf ran the snowmobile as close to the dock where his small watercraft awaited him.Jumping on board, he engaged the engine and steered it toward the departing ship.As he sped toward it, he sighted a second helicopter in the distance and assumed it was searching for the first ship.
Eyes on the sky as he sped toward the closer ship, he didn’t notice the massive roll of ocean water until it was too late.Something large and gray barreled into his small boat, sending it flipping through the air.
Stunned, Adolf hit the water hard.
The shock of the cold water sent him to the surface, gasping for air.The large gray mass continued to circle him.
Not a shark or a whale.
He dropped below the waterline to see what blocked his path to escape.
He blinked.What the fuck is that?
He screamed ocean water as it turned and surged toward him, maw gaping, teeth extended.
He shifted instantly.
His slick body darted to the left, evading the jaws of the creature pursuing him.Extending one of his tentacles, he latched on to the back of the creature’s neck with his suckers.Adolf ballooned the canopy of his body and enclosed his attacker’s head so that it couldn’t see.Wrapping the rest of his tentacles around its head and neck, he held on as it jerked left and right, trying to dislodge him.
Unable to, it swam toward the sound of the ship’s motor, straight for the hull where a second creature similar in size but different in form appeared to push the ship’s bow.
Fearing the creature would ram the ship head-first, which would crush Adolf, he let go.
The monster immediately twisted, though not before it impacted the ship, setting it to rocking.
By now, he understood these creatures were GPSA shifters intent on capturing his cargo.
Relieved that the ship didn’t capsize, Adolf engaged his camouflage as he sank to the sea floor, creeping ever forward as fast as he dared, determined to catch the rudder and hide in a crevice.Even if they seized the ship, he could still escape.
A silver-scaled fish swam above him in the ship’s wake.Adolf used it as cover until he made a dash for the gap between the rudder and the propeller and settled in the arch above the two, attaching every sucker, securing him to its surface.
The silver fish maintained its position, following the ship.
Suddenly, the propeller groaned to a stop.The ship continued to drift.
The distinct sounds of shouting and cheering echoed through the hull of the ship, amplified by the ocean surrounding it.
Adolf cursed that he’d lost another ship to the Global Paranormal Security Agency.
I can still escape.
A few moments later, a woman’s voice traveled through the ocean water now that it was clear of the engine’s vibrations.
“Okay Lirikai, track him, but don’t eat him!Kane wants him alive.”
