They are in the box.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cDon\u2019t forget, I have built in night vision.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThat\u2019s right Coz. I did forget. Am I forgiven?\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOf course. I have telescopic vision also.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cAnd soon, x-ray vision. Once I get the kinks to go.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI can hardly wait. That will really come in handy.\u201d<br \/>\nSo, that night, just past the jetty by the cove.<br \/>\nThey sat and fished and waited as the sea rolled.<br \/>\nThree days later the sub appeared.<br \/>\nDad woke the other two. \u201cIs that it?\u201d he feared.<br \/>\n\u201cYes.\u201d They said. Excitement in their voices.<br \/>\nThey just watched. They didn\u2019t have many choices.<br \/>\nSame as before. A rubber raft rowed to shore.<br \/>\nThree men departed. They waited for more.<br \/>\nSoon, they returned and grabbed a box.<br \/>\nThey carried it up to the parking lot rocks.<br \/>\nA car pulled up and they loaded it aboard.<br \/>\nThe three returned and grabbed the oars.<br \/>\nThey rowed back out to the sub.<br \/>\nThe sub went under with a glug.<br \/>\nDad started the boat and quickly gave chase.<br \/>\nThey saw the sub on sonar and kept pace.<br \/>\nTwenty Three miles later the sub stopped.<br \/>\nSomething on the bottom marked the spot.<br \/>\nWhatever it was, it was really huge.<br \/>\nDad took down the latitude &amp; longitude.<br \/>\nCoz and Tom put on their diving gear.<br \/>\nOver the side they went without any fear.<br \/>\nIt was a deep decent to the bottom.<br \/>\nThey had spear guns. Glad they got them.<br \/>\nThey saw a super large city down there.<br \/>\nIt was covered with a clear dome keeping in air.<br \/>\nThe sub had gone through an air lock.<br \/>\nIt was now inside, just visible from their spot.<br \/>\nThey considered trying to get inside.<br \/>\nChanged their minds and ascended with pride.<br \/>\nBack on the boat, they told dad what they saw.<br \/>\nHe just listened. Mouth open with awe.<br \/>\nHe said they would inform the aliens.<br \/>\nGive them the latitude &amp; longitude. \u201clet\u2019s begin.\u201d<br \/>\nThis done, they returned home.<br \/>\nSoon, they were feeling all alone.<br \/>\nThen the aliens contacted them.<br \/>\nSaid all other androids were informed of them.<br \/>\nWhen the right time arrived, which would be soon.<br \/>\nThey would attack the underwater fortress of doom.<br \/>\nProbably, they would blow it up.<br \/>\nBeing inside would really suck.<br \/>\nSo, they had some time to meditate.<br \/>\nAll were thinking about their possible fate.<br \/>\nThat story will be told when there is no moon.<br \/>\nThat means it will be fairly soon.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-R.W.
