Stormie Seas

[tonym5]

It took over a month and a half for the Stormie Seas to be fixed. Finally, Konstantin Kharitonovich took her out of the seaport of Singapore and headed to the Black Sea where Geordi ordered her to go. Geordi Antonov decided to keep the Stormie Seas close to Russia. He was still waiting for the United States to reveal his true identity to the world and was racing to accomplish as much as he can before it happens.

Thurston Leverington the fourth finally got back to Juan on some information that revealed Jordan Andrews was the owner of the Stormie Seas and that she was sailing for the Black Sea. Juan thanked Thurston and had Eric look up information on the Stormie Seas and learned that before she was bought by Jordan Andrews, she had been set to sea in October of 1949 as an intelligence ship by the United States government and for nearly fifteen years sailed around Europe. Later, she was owned by several owners over the years until Jordan Andrews had bought the ship in Alaska. Juan decided that Jordan Andrews was likely to use the ship sometime soon and Juan, with his team of operatives would pounce when that happens.

Flying into the Adler-Sochi International airport Juan Cabrillo admired the snow-capped peaks of the Caucasus mountains that sandwiched the Russian city on the left side of the plane and the Black Sea on the right side. It was a beautiful sight, reminding him of his last visit to the famous resort city back in 2014 for the Winter Olympics. His mission in Sochi was to learn the lay of the city in better detail for the upcoming treaty conference between Russia and the United States. Hopefully, Juan mused that he and the Corporation would be able to kidnap the Russian President without too much trouble. After arriving at the airport and renting a rental car, he drove the 40km to the city. At 147km, Greater Sochi is the second longest city in the world. With the Oregon due into the Sochi seaport in a few days, Juan had a lot to learn. He already knew that Geordi Antonov had two Dachas in the area. One in the mountains and another on the Black Sea coast. It would be easier if they could grab the Russian President at his seacoast Dacha, then anywhere else.

KGB Director Gregoriv Dushkin received a report from his executive assistant, Anton Korolenko and waved the man out. Reading the report, he was shocked but not surprised that Geordi Antonov had a lookalike cousin located in Moldavia. He called Geordi's executive assistant Cyril Ryukilov for an appointment with the Russian President. Later at the dinner appointment with the Russian President he reported about the lookalike cousin in Moldavia. Geordi asked that the cousin be brought to the Kremlin. Later, the KGB Director called Cyril after he arrived home from the dinner to pick up the Moldavian cousin.

Geordi Antonov, along with his executive assistant, his Moldavian cousin, the KGB Director and Gennadi Kuslova arrived at the private airport outside of Sochi and were whisked in separate limousines to the Dacha in the Caucasus mountains. Later, after getting settled in the Russian President's Dacha, Geordi and Gennadi had a private meeting that lasted into the night as the men negotiated over the parameters of the Treaty with the United States and the lookalike cousin's role in the future of the Russian nation.

On the day the Oregon was due to arrive at the Sochi seaport, Juan left the Radisson SAS where he was staying and drove to the seaport where he walked to the dock where the Stormie Seas was berthed and saw a lot of activity going on aboard the ship. He knew the Russian president was to have a private dinner with the American president aboard the ship before heading to the Radisson SAS that evening for the signing of the treaty. He knew it would not be easy but it was a whole lot better than an attempt at the Radisson SAS. After watching for a few minutes he walked to the dock where the Oregon was to berth. An hour later the Oregon arrived just after lunch time. He walked aboard the Oregon and met with the team that would assist him in the kidnapping of the Russian President.

Climbing up the rope out of the water and towards the deck of the Stormie Seas, Juan, Linda Ross, and the others swept over the railing, spraying their silenced submachine guns at the guards. Rushing towards the superstructure of the ship, they met three more guards, killing them silently. Scrambling up the outside ladder towards the bridge they banged the door open and mowed down the crew where they stood. Opening a door at the rear of the bridge that led them down a stairwell towards the dining hall and the crewmembers sleeping quarters they raced, shooting anyone in their way. They raced toward the double doors of the dining hall and swarmed in.

The Secret Service guards acted their role in trying to protect both the American and the Russian president, including the Russian security guards. It was the Russian security guards that were mowed down by the Secret Service and Juan's team of mercenaries. Geordi Antonov was near the American President and grabbed him. He yelled, "I will kill the American President if you do not let me off this ship!!!". The American President was slightly taller than Geordi and elbowed the Russian President, who doubled over in pain and stumbled back. Slowly, he gained some strength back and straightened himself, raising his gun hand in the direction of Juan and smiled. A fusillade of bullets splattered the Russian President towards the wall where he smacked up against it and slowly slid down with the wall turning red.

A few hours later, Jordan Andrews, sporting his cousin's passport landed at the Perth International Airport on the western coast of Australia, smiling. Back in Sochi his cousin had signed the treaty with the American President, who was dumbfounded at the sight of Geordi Antonov, after seeing the man shot to death aboard the Stormie Seas. When the American President learned that the man he cosigned the treaty with was Geordi Antonov's Moldavian cousin, he sighed with relief that someone had been found to succeed the dead Geordi Antonov aka Jordan Andrews.

A few days later, the Stormie Seas arrived at the seaport of Perth and berthed herself in her new home. Jordan Andrews drove to the seaport to welcome Captain Konstantin Kharitonovich and the crew. Happy that the Russian actor who looked like him had done a great job in pulling off a switch under the noses of the Americans, Jordan was pleased.

Juan Cabrillo was most unsettled at the news of the Moldavian cousin of Jordan Andrews was the new Russian President, he suspected a setup. The new Russian President slid into the role of Geordi Antonov easily and with the help of Gennadi Kuslova as his guide and counsel, he was a success. Juan wanted the DNA of the dead man but was stopped by the American President who did not want any further investigation. Juan was frustrated and slowly resigned himself to the vagaries of politics. The End.
