Radley had discovered his stolen car, but at the same time he had been discovered himself.
Radley looked at both of the man, then he spotted an open cabin door behind them. Could he make his escape through it ?
Radley started to walk forward with his hands held aloft...... Then
The answer to how or could he escape came quicker than he had thought as at that very second one of the smoke bombs that he had planted went off.
This caused a large funnel of flames to erupt from the quay side. It had ignited some of the oil that had remained in the Barrel. Both of the Guys with shot guns ran forward passed Radley and looked over the railings towards the Dock and the direction of the explosion.

| Lift Off |
As they did the 2nd bomb went off. This time sending the Barrel up into the Night skies like a rocket. Radley used this as the diversion and dived through the cabin door, and quickly slammed it shut.
There was a locking bar on the metal door which Radley engaged and jammed. By the time the guards had realized Radley had disappeared he was off to hopefully find some way of communicating with the Police.
He took a quick peep through the Port Hole in the Door then speed away.
Radley knew that the explosion would have at least alerted the other members of the Gang. So far only the last two Guards had seen him, as the two that had fallen into the water had not. However, Snakes had seen him, and sooner or later his body would be found along with Tony's.
The Ship must have a communication or Radio Room he thought. If Radley could find it he would be able to call for help. .... But where was it. ? Radley thought that if he went to the Bridge on the boat there may be a Radio or so indication of where the Radio Room was.
Up Up he went from deck to deck. Still no sign of the Radio Room.... and no sign of any other person either. Then he saw a sign ... it read Conning Tower. He could hear Music Playing and a Woman screaming. He peeped through the small Port Hole in the door. There were people inside.
He could see three men and a Woman. Two of the Men he did not know,one was dressed in a suit, and other one was dressed in Uniform. Possibly the Captain..... but the 3rd was JJ Biggles and the Woman was his wife Rita.
Rita was screaming at her husband, and from what Radley could make out she was not happy that she was having to leave Big City with her husband as he needed to skip the country to avoid being arrested again.
Then a door on the other side of the Conning Tower that lead to the outer deck opened and the Shorter Guy with freckles and Brown Hair that Radley had met on Deck C, ran in.
He told the group about the fire and the explosion and about the mystery man dressed in Blue. With Rita screaming at JJ, and the Radio Blasting out Music no one in the room had heard the explosion it seemed, and the fact that in the Storming with the Thunder and Lightning out side was helping either.
After " Freckles " had explained everything, JJ Biggles picked up the Walkie Talkie and started shouting into it. Radley turned his on the one he had taken from Tony, and listened. JJ Biggles was ordering everyone back to the boat it was setting sail immediately. Also he announced that if anyone saw a strange Man dressed in Blue, they were to shoot him.
The Captain looked a little concerned, and called over to JJ and explained that most of his Crew were not on board, but would do what he could to set sail within the hour. He would contact his second in command who was on duty on Deck D in the Radio Room.
Radley knew he was now trapped aboard a Boat that was soon to set sail. If he tried to leave via the Quay side he would be spotted by at least one of the of either the Crew or The Criminal Gang. At least he knew where the Radio Room was. Three Decks down on Deck D, so he made his way down the nearest stairway, trying to be as stealthy as he could be......Down Down he went until he got to Deck D.. As he exited the stairwell he came face to face The Tall Ginger Headed guy.... Gun in Hand... He did not look pleased to see Radley.
Radley stopped his story yet again, and drank from a glass of water Samurai Jack had handed him.
Radley gulpped down a big mouth full.
What Happens next..... Had Radley's luck finally run out ? To Find Out Come Back Next Time
Until Then ENJOY....
