“Don’t forget to call the cops, I got it planted on her car” said a voice from the computer.
“Dad, go teach your Grandmother to suck eggs” it said again. The red haired woman was watching a live feed. Her face went cold as she heard the words coming out of the computer.
“Or rather don’t, since your Granny’s been dead for fifty years, and I want to keep you around for a while yet” said the computer. "She knew, and so did the father" thought the red haired woman. This was a problem for her organization. She wondered where they came from. Her family was not supposed to be around anymore. She had personally made sure they were dead. She heard a noise behind her and tried to turn her chair around but she was smashed in the face with a large brick. She fell to the floor, her face was bleeding.
“I’m under orders from CSIS to take you out and apprehend the boy for the war effort” said the grey haired man. He looked down at her. He sighed relief, he was no longer worried about blowing his cover and now the red haired woman was at his mercy.
“Where is the boy?” he asked, as he raised the brick above his head with his right arm.
“I’m not saying anything” she replied. Her face was gushing blood; she didn’t have much time left to live.
“You just went to talk to him. He can’t be that far. Where is he?” he asked again.
“I’m not saying anything” she repeated. “Furthermore, this action won’t go unpunished. You can kill me now but remember that I’ll be the one watching you die” she said.
He got down closer to the ground with the brick still in his right hand. He continued to bash in her skull with it. Pieces of her skull and blood were all over the floor. He saw something he had never seen before that puzzled him. Her brain looked different and there were circuits. “Why did she have circuits in her brain?” he wondered. He scooped up the brain matter to give to his superiors. They would know more about it than he could possibly understand.

The Ensign masquerading around as a Canadian ship worker was swimming towards the ship again. His map indicated he was getting closer. He had a lot more weight this time around. All the base had was an old “Protei 5” that the US Military took from a communist spy during the cold war. It worked surprisingly well despite its old age. All of the more modern equipment was being used in Thunder Bay and the Hudson Bay .
He parked it under a small cliff at the bottom of the lake where it could not be seen and he slowly swam to the surface. He got aboard the ship with the AVRO unit and ducked under a life boat. He pulled the night vision goggles out of his waterproof backpack. He looked around and it seemed to be safe. Nobody at all was around. He could see lights on in the trailer but he was too far to be seen unless they were looking for him. He approached the AVRO unit and attached a timed explosive device. He had a sense of fear when he was arming it. He heard footsteps behind him. He crouched down and snuck back to the lifeboat. He ducked under it until he could find out who was around.
