but we better get moving before the gate closes.” The two went on a dead run on the right side of the road trying to get there before the gate closed yet hoping not to be seen. As the limo passed through the gate entrance, it stopped and let one of the Arabs out. Once out, the limo continued on out of sight. The gate continued to close. It was now apparent to Storm and Savage that the Arab was left at the gate to guard it.
Both men moved over behind some bushes. Once out of sight Storm asked, “Now what? The gate closed, and there’s an Arab probably with a gun guarding it.”
Savage pointed towards the gate and said, “See that phone booth up there in the middle of the road just in front of the gate?”
Storm replied, “Yeah, so what?”
Savage continued on, “You casually walk up to the phone booth and call for backup and distract the Arab while I sneak around the gate.”
Storm started to nod his head in agreement, but abruptly stopped and said, “Are you nuts?”
Savage laughed and added, “Just kidding mate.”
Storm said, “Keep this up and I’ll have to kick your Bermuda butt.”
Savage smiled and signaled for Storm to follow him. He turned to his right and walked through some thick overgrown bushes coming out onto a walking trail. Savage said, “This trail will take us around to the other side of the centre. If my memory serves me right, there’s a low place in the stone wall that we can climb to get on the NASA grounds.” After running along the trail for about one hundred yards they came to the low wall. To Storm’s surprise someone had already placed a couple of cinder blocks at the wall to make it easier to bridge. Savage said, “See mate I told you so.” The two climbed over the wall and stepped down on a mass of concrete over one hundred feet wide and fifty feet in length.
Storm looked around and said, “What is this? This huge slab of concrete is as big as a parking lot and why the twenty degree slope?”
Savage replied, “This is the water catchment for the centre. When it rains, the water flows down the incline and drains into holding tanks. This would have been their source of water. In case you haven’t noticed, Bermuda has no rivers. We have to catch our water when it rains.”
Storm replied, “Thanks for the lesson, but let’s move it before someone sees us in the middle of this water catchment.” The two quickly ran up to the top of the water catchment where they laid down and looked over the edge. They were now looking down over the rest of the complex. They could not see the front gate and the guard from here, but they could see the empty parked limo and a door standing wide open on the main building.
Storm asked, “What do you think these guys are doing here?”
Savage replied, “Not sure, but I bet it has something to do with that weather tracking tower over there.”
Storm added, “You may be right, but the only way we’re going to find out is to go in that building.” Savage agreed and the two climbed down off the water catchment and scrambled over to the building.
By the time they got there, Savage was huffing and puffing. He said, “All this running is about to do me in.”
Storm replied, “Well old man if you want to go wait for me over in that limo I’m sure the Arabs won’t mind.’
Savage replied, “Shut your bloody mouth mate. Let’s go see what these Arabs are up to.” The two went quietly through the doorway not knowing what they would find.
The Secret of Cooper’s Island
Storm and Savage cleared the doorway, and instantly it was clear that the NASA centre had been significantly gutted when the facility was abandoned. They both looked around, but were not having any luck finding the Arabs. Finally Storm grabbed Savage and whispered, “Wait a
