Roger Ellis - AK-239

Everyone watches this stout Russian admiral, as his neck slowly turns red. His blood rises somewhere above eye level. If his blood pressure gets any higher it just might blow his head clean off!

Further, if Perchinkov had a weapon it looks like he would kill Vasili! Right here and right now.

Vasili gives him a stoic Russian salute then motions for his wife to walk to him. Perchinkov does not return the salute.

We all feel the weight of a thousand years of Russian history transpire as Vasili’s wife walks to him. Vasili won’t ever again look at Perchinkov. Vasili grabs his wife and hugs her.

After eternity passes of Perchinkov staring at this horrid sight, he turns and walks to his front hatch and enters “his” sub.

A twenty-one-year-old, hulky sailor leans over to me and asks: “What just happened?”

I say: “It would take a thousand years to explain, son, at least a thousand!”

Russian sailors look around confused as to what is happening next.

I worriedly ask, “Ya think Perchinkov just might leave us out here while he submerges?”

Vasili ignores my worry and instead says to me, “So what will you do now commander?

I smile at the commander line again and then answer,

“I don’t know. Maybe I’ll start my own local chapter of the ASPCA.”

Vasili asks, “ASPCA. What is that?

I sarcastically answer,

“The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Acronyms!”

Vasili looks at me sincerely as he studies my game face then says,

“Was that good American joke?”

I sincerely ask, “I don’t know, was that good American joke?”

The captain is sincerely confused and does not know how to answer.

Admiral Baker steps in laughing and says,

“Hell ya!”

“That’s a great American joke.”

The admiral then mumbles to himself as he mumbles under his breath,

“ASPCA! Now that’s funny.”

I pull out my trusty Motorola SRX 2400 and say, “Okay, we’re gonna need a lift.”

If you thought the Russians were careless, here comes the USS Alaska .

She punches through and practically lands on top of TK-20. The conning tower is angled perfectly so that Vasili, and General Baker, and I can walk from the front hull of TK-20 right onto the conn!

On the USS Alaska conning tower former Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Tavana is the first person to appear. She is allowed to wear her Navy dress whites for the transfer too.

She looks a lot better than I.

“Well that explains it! A woman’s driving this thing!” I say.

Jen ignores my chivalrous attitude.

Jen holds out her hand for Vasili.

“Welcome aboard captain.”

Then she holds out her hand for me in a very “different” manner.

I grab it and step aboard. “Welcome aboard commander,” she says teasingly.

“Thank you but…”

Jen salutes me and I think:

What the hell!

I salute her back saying,

“Thank you Lieutenant Commander.”

Jen starts to say, “Former…” but the word doesn’t make it out as she looks to think:

What the hell, as well!

No sooner did we say that, then we quickly disappear beneath the ice.

Antigua, Caribbean

Beach Resort

Bartender delivers drinks to a man and woman sunning themselves on a beach.

At first it looks a bit like Jen and me.

However, upon closer inspection the following was relayed to me:

A man, in designer sunglasses, pulls up a briefcase and pulls out a hundred and gives it to the waiter.

“Gracias, senior.”

It’s crazy Al and Tatiana, his Russian doctor girlfriend!

Crazy Al is unrecognizable without his Santa beard.

They are sitting on a white sandy beach sipping cold drinks.

Tatiana looks much more relaxed and happy in a bikini than she ever did working for the Russian military as a doctor.

“I’ve been meaning to ask: Where did you find that suitcase?”

“Funny thing, I was hiding from some of you people in the warehouse and I found this just sitting there behind some fifty-five gallons drums that contained…”

“Uh huh,” comments the doctor, not really seeming to give it much thought.

Al pauses, realizing she’s not paying attention. He then says, “I’ve always hated cold weather.”

“Me too, darlink, me too.” says Tatiana, looking fabulous!

My Diary

At least that’s the story I heard.

I’m glad.

I guess that million dollars really helped crazy Al get over his fear of aluminum.

Who we’ve really gotta find is:

1. MMA

2. His bride

3. Ruddy

4. Katrina.

5. Kapitan Nikolai Alexi and his two TK-20 Officers

I’m leaving that all up to others…

I need a vacation.

I used to go to Alaska and hike in the woods to relax.

I’m definitely not going back there for a while.

Washington D.C.

U.S. Capitol Building

January 20, 2017

INAUGURATION:

Hillary Clinton / Donald Trump

Thousands of people are here to see the presidential inauguration. The ceremony is taking place on the West Front steps of the U.S. Capitol Building with tens of thousands of people in the National Mall watching.

TRUMP: Donald Trump’s beautiful wife, Melania Trump, looks on lovingly at his side. She has gorgeous red hair, identical to a couple of 239 Russian agents.

HILLARY: President Bill Clinton looks lovingly to his wife as she takes her oath of office. A beautiful woman with gorgeous red hair, identical to a couple of the 239 Russian agents stands next to Bill.

In the crowd stands MMA, with his nuclear suitcase, politely trying to get closer to the front.

His Russian girlfriend is nowhere in sight.

And as we say in show biz….
