Finish the story begins with:
“The crew of the Angel Flame received orders to head out.”
The submarine slid into the water fully loaded with provisions and the required arms and explosives. The Brigadier had ordered an assault on a huge armoured luxury yacht owned by Dr Dickus’s billionaire brother Maxwell, moored within striking distance of the island.
Maxwell Dickus was a very shady character, it was rumoured, he had amassed his fortune buying and selling arms to supply some very impoverished African States.
Marg had left Bella with Don Fernando to be cared for by her relatives, the wounds were superficial and would soon heal with time and care. Marg was to remain on the mysterious island, and after a debriefing would enjoy a well-earned rest.
During this intensive interview, the Brigadier hinted there was a huge operation imminent and Marg’s recent experience and the loyalty she had demonstrated would be well rewarded. Then came the awful news, the submarine was reported sunk and lost…….

Oh no! They sunk the submarine! Love each chapter John, and I cannot wait to see where you take us next… Be well! ^..^
Thanks Babs for both your great comment and for the excellent prompt ~ Have a good week my friend 🙂
Thanks John!
Love this and how you integrated it into your continuing story! Well done!!!!
Thanks Deborah I am glad you like this ongoing saga ~ There will be many more twists and turns I hope. 🙂
Oh dear! It sounded like everything was going well then suddenly, the submarine has sunk!
Sadly right Joy! A shocking twist, I am thankful Marg was not aboard. More to come I think ~
Oh my they sunk it. look forward to the continuation
Watch this space Donna! ~ Thanks for reading this post and commenting ~ 🙂
Oh no! First I thought that it’s a good job Marg wasn’t on board, but if she had been, she’s so resourceful I’m sure she would have found a way to save it. In light of these events, Marg may have to wait a bit longer for her well-earned rest!
I think you have read her personality very well Ali ~ Thanks for your, always very welcome response.
Oh, there goes her well-earned rest, I fear. But if anyone can save the sub, it’s Marg…
Sadly I think the sub is probably beyond recovery Sonya ~ Thanks for your response ~ I really appreciate the feedback 🙂
Uh, oh.
I think I need to go back one.
No fun loosing your sub. 🙂
Thanks Jules ~ Enjoy! I am re-reading your last few posts 🙂
That was a serious loss. It seems Marg will be back in action. Well done John. 😉 — Suzanne
Thanks Suzanne ~ Our heroine lives to tell the tale again. Virtually indestructible I think 🙂
