To Murder Or To Be Murdered (3) DRAFT

Chapter 15

Dr Jones' POV

Jason and I oh and Tom, are very bored sitting at monitors monitoring the others in a submarine. Fun.

"They'll be spotted the minute they're in range of their radars." I say.

"Yeah they will. Can you hack into their system and see how far they have until they need to stop? They'll have to swim and sneak on to the beach and inland." Jason explains.

"Tom, get them online and tell them to stop." Jason says. Tom nods and begins doing exactly that.

"Hello?" Tom asks.

"Hello. It's Maddy." Maddy's voice is cracking with static.

"Stop the submarine." Tom says.

"Tell them to stop now and swim for it." I say. They're about to reach the radar.

"Ok we've stopped. Do you want us to have our trackers on?" Maddy says.

"Yes." I say loudly.

"Ok we're swimming for it. Track us. They shouldn't pick up the waves." Maddy says. "Alright I gotta go. Call if you need to. Don't hesitate. It could save our lives." Maddy hangs up. How could she say that?
She knows it'll make me worry. Ah I hate it when she does that.

"Where are they?" I ask.

"Still in the sub. It'll be a while before they leave. They have to gear up and prepare and decide if anyone's gonna stay and watch the sub. So it'll be a fair while." Jason explains. I nod.

"They probably won't all come back will they?" I ask sadly.

"I think your friends will survive. The others I'm worried about. Matt and Alice. Matt not so much but I think Alice will be lucky to get out alive. I'm sorry to say it but it's true." Jason says. I nod agreeing.

"I'm better out in the field than she is." I mutter.

"That's true." He mumbles. I look at him and he looks at me. He looks at me and guides his eyes towards Tom. Tom. He's been a bit quiet. I look at him.

"Sorry guys." He says jokingly pointing a gun at each of us. He has a pistol fully loaded in each hand.

"Dude what the-" Jason begins.

"Shut it." Tom cuts him off. "I never really wanted to join the resistance. I work for Gary." He says proudly. Matt...

"Matt doesn't. We met along the way and it turned out we were headed the same way. That's all." He explains as if he read my mind.

"Hey dr Jones." Jason says.

"Yes Jason." I say. We have our hands raised now from Tom's glare.

"What's your favourite animal?" Jason asks. Oh. I get it now.

"I think an owl. The way they turn their heads right around is pretty cool." I say.

"I like ducks." Jason says. That's when I duck. Tom shoots at me, which is why I ducked giving Jason time to grab Tom's gun and hit him in the head knocking him out. I glance at Jason.

"What do we do?" I ask.

"Tie him to a chair?" He asks. I shrug.

"Why not?" I say and get Tom's chair. We swiftly lift him on to the chair and and tie him to it. I look at Jason anxiously. He shrugs just as unsure as I am.

"Great." I say. "Now we've kidnapped someone."
