We had a cool name.
First Mission Desert Well, from the movie, Fighting Free, was put into action at thirteen hundred hours. The four of us, Blake, John, Joby and me were to go down to in-vestigate the hole. Me and Blake, being older, were to go down and find out what exactly was down there.
I picked up a length of rope. It was heavier then I remembered, but it was okay. Blake looked at me. �And what if this is deeper then five hundred?�
�We�ll find out then. Besides, this is five right?� I put the coil of rope down again. �And the wince we got is three?�
�Three-seventy-five,� Joby walked by carrying one of his many gizmos. �Don�t ask how I know that.�
�Where�s John?� I turned and stood up.
Joby pointed down. �Talking to Suzie about something. I left. What a sap!�
�That�s my brother.� Blake stood up and picked up one of the harness clips.
�I�m sorry Blake.� Joby nodded. �Are you two all set on them harnesses?�
�Yeah,� I nodded as I ran my thumb under the strap across my waist. �We�ve done this before.�
�Alright don�t bite my head off.� He laughed and walked to the edge of the rail-ing. �Hey, John, you got three to wrap it up.�
�Yup.� I yelled also. Once again I picked up the rope. �Show time boys. As much as I hate to go down there, I�d rather do it sooner then later.�
