Rafael Sánchez, a 34 year old Man with brown hair and blue eyes stopped the recording of the camera on the computer monitor and then hovered his finger over the delete button.
But he didn't press delete and he turned off the computer monitor.
He stood up from a chair and walked to the door of the small computer room.
He turned off the lights and walked out.
He walked out of the submarine and went toward the small pool of water where the water from the ocean came in.
He put on the diving gear with the oxygen tank and swam out of the underwater cave toward the secret room in the ship.
He came up into the room, took off his diving gear, dried himself off with a towel, changed his clothes, and picked up a black duffle bag that he left in the room.
He opened the secret door and pushed against the wall.
The wall lowered like a drawbridge to the floor and he stepped out of the narrow small room.
He lifted the wall up and put it back into place, hiding the secret door.
He walked out of the small custodial closet into a hallway, closing the door behind him.
He walked to some stairs at the end of the hallway and went up the long stairs out to the deck of the ship.
The night sky was filled with gray clouds and the full moon was glowing.
A slight drizzle started falling on the city of ships below.
Large Aircraft Carriers docked close together stretched as far as the eye could see, connected to each other with narrow metal planks for people to walk across.
Rafael walked along the deck of the carrier carrying the black duffle bag over his shoulder.
He walked quickly as the rain started coming down harder and went across the narrow bridge.
He walked across the deck of the carrier while another Man wearing a hooded jacket watched Rafael walk across the carrier from behind a shack.
The Hooded Man walked across the bridge and followed Rafael. Rafael walked by several tents until he got to a staircase leading down into the ship.
The Hooded Man watched Rafael go down the stairs.
The Hooded Man took out a notepad and wrote something in it.
Rafael got to a dark hallway at the bottom of the stairs.
He walked down the dark hallway and got to the door of a cabin room.
He knocked on the door.
KNOCK KNOCK.
Then a small rectangular eye slot of the door slid open.
A Man's eyes looked at him through the slot.
The Man closed the eye slot and opened the cabin door.
Rafael walked inside the cabin room and the Man closed the door.
There was a murky yellow light illuminating the room.
There was a small table in the middle of the room.
There was a mattress and foldout chairs against the wall.
Rafael looked around the room at old antiques and items.
The cabin room looked like a shop.
The Vendor of this blackmarket shop was a middle aged Man with gray hair and he walked with a cane.
