them again.  That’s what made me change my mind I couldn’t let your family go on with out there father. So Steele tell me how did you get to Germany from Alaska. Well it’s a long story; well I’m not going any were. Well all right were do I start well… but before Steele could say anything a crewmember came in.

Excess me sir command is on the radio and they want to talk to you. All right thank you, Steele got up and went to the bridge and got on the radio. Command this is Commander Steele what is it, Commander we need you to do a long-range mission. What kind of long-range mission, well we need you to follow a Canadian convey caring about 120,000 troops to Panama. Panama, yes there mission is to block all traffic through the canal which means are u-boats and are jap friends won’t be able to move from sea to sea.

So you want me to follow them to the canal in Panama and sink the convoy if they try to take the canal. Yes that’s what we want you to do so return to base and refuel and head for that convoy. Yes sir, Steele then put the radio down and told the crew. The reaction to the news wasn’t good after so long at sea they were hoping for shore leave. Steele then went back into his office were Balto was waiting.

What was that about Steele, oh command is telling us to follow a Canadian convoy to Panama. Balto sighed and said the one with 100.000 men to take the canal. Yes how did you know that, well the Raven was to escort that convoy. Well Balto my orders are to sink the troop ship if they try to take the canal. What why, well we use it to get to the Pacific to help the japs when they need it.

Why Balto what’s wrong, well I got a letter from Nikki saying they were going with a Canadian unit to Panama. What, don’t worry you don’t have to sink the convoy. Yes I do I’ve got to follow my orders, well then is there any way to warn them. Well yes but it going to be hard, well what do we have to do. Well we have to find out what ship there on and then try to get contact with it.

Well that doesn’t sound hard, what do you mean it’s not hard it is hard. No Steele it isn’t when Nikki sent me that letter he told me what ship he was on. Well what is it, he said there sailing on the Yukon, the Yukon, I know just forget it. With in hours Steele refueled at a German fuel tanker off Scotland and started toward the convoy. With in hours they arrived a half mile off the convoy.

Steele ordered up periscope and tried to look for the Yukon he turns the periscope to a destroyer heading toward them. Destroyer heading right for us I want this sub down now. Steele crew rushed to get the sub down the destroyer passed above them with only an inch to spare. Steele ordered everyone to hold on to something a wait for the depth charges. Steele and his crew waited for a minute then the depth charges started going off around them.

It was five minutes until the depth charges stopped and Steele and he crew checked everything to make sure there was no damage. Then remember Balto he went to the engine room were Balto was helping the engineer. Steele opened the door to engine room and saw Balto he had a metal bar in his chest. The engineer was trying to stop the bleeding Steele yelled for the doctor. The doctor came in and told Balto that what he was about to do was going to hurt a lot.

The doctor wrapped his hands around the bar and pulled it out. Balto screamed in pain and the doctor then took him down to the medical room. Steele didn’t follow he had to tend to unfinished business so he went to the bridge. He ordered down periscope and began looking for the Yukon again and this time he found it. He then went to his office to use his private radio to contact the Yukon.

It took him ten minutes but he final got a hold of the Yukon and asked for Nikki, Kaltag and Star. The radioman got them and Steele told them the plan. Ok list this is he OSS we have a new mission for you guys. As soon as you reach Panama you to jump over board and a sub will pick you up and take you to the new target. The guys agreed and went to there rooms to prepare.

 Then Steele went to check on Balto in the medical room. He went down the hall and opened the door and saw Balto sleeping then he went to the doctor. He’s going to be ok but that bar hit some of his organ I patched them up but where going to have to wait and what’s going to happen. Steele went back to the bridge and sighed but went back to work. Then with in hours they were at Panama and the ships began to unload.

Steele had no choice and surfaced and his crew began to use the deck gun. Steele thought it was safe to use it sense the destroyer escorts left the convey. With in a half hour Steele’s men had sunk all the ships then he searched the water for his old friends. After five minutes he spotted them and he saw them swimming toward him. His men helped them on the deck and he saw that they were shocked so he went down.

Steele came up to them and greeted them, welcome Nikki, Kaltag and Star it’s been a long time. They just stared at him then Nikki came forward, I’m sorry do we know you. You should I’m an old friend of yours then Star’s eye’s widened and stepped forward. Steele is that you good god it is you then the rest of the guys realized it was Steele. But before they could talk Steele stopped them and started o talk.

Even though it’s good to see you all you guys need to come with me there’s something I need to show you. So Steele led the guys down below and to the medical room were they found Balto. They all stared in shock at the blood-covered body of Balto. Steele went over to the doctor were he got an up date on Baltos health. What Steele heard from the doctor was not good and if they didn’t do anything Balto would die.

The doctor said Balto had some internal bleeding and it was getting worse. The options to stop it were surgery or well that’s it so they choose surgery but it would be hard. Steele thought about it and thought it would be the best thing to do. Steele ordered all stop to make it easier for the surgery and took one of the bunkrooms for the surgery. Then the doctor set up the bunkroom for the surgery and then they wheeled Balto in and started.

Steele and the rest of the guys waited as the surgery went on for hours. Then after five hours of waiting the doctor stepped out of the room. He went up to Steele and whispered into his ear when he finished Steele put his hand on the doctor. Steele then thanked him and went to the guys and told them that the surgery was a success and Balto would be fine. Steele hen went to the bridge and ordered a course toward Nome.

Several hours later in Nome life was going on as usual and Jenna was heading home after her shift at the medical camp. Then Captain Drago a Blackish white husky stopped her. Jenna I’m sorry to hear about Balto, well thank you Drago but its Kodi I’m worried about. Well maybe your right he has seemed kind of different sense Baltos ship went down. Oh by the way do you know were he is, yes his right they’re helping refuel a seaplane.

Do you want to talk to him try to make things better, that would be nice. Drago then yelled for Kodi and he came running up to Jenna and Drago. Sir, mom, um Kodi ever sense your father die you have change and I want to know is there something wrong. No mom there is nothing wrong I’m ok, Kodi I know that’s not true now tell me the truth. Mom I’m telling you there’s nothing wro… Then they were interrupted by the alarm from the harbor.

They ran to see what was wrong and when they got down there they saw the problem. They saw a U-boat sailing into the harbor then they saw the flag it was flying. It was the flag of the Nazi fleet and it was flying high the u-boat. The U-boat came to a stop and men started coming out of the hatch on top. The soldiers on shore stood at ready, then two Germans carried out an injured man.

The men then jumped into the water and headed to shore Drago went do to meet them along with Kodi and Jenna. They waited ass a large husky like dog came up to them. Jenna looked at him and thought he looked like someone she knew. He came up to them and started to speak, Hello my name is Captain Steele of the U-boat 109. Drago and Jenna stepped back in shock Kodi stood his ground even though Steele had a good 3 feet on him.

Steele looked down at the lad and put his hand on his shoulder, so you most be Kodi your father has told me a lot about you. What are you talking about he’s died, well I would say other wise. Steele then turned and called for Nikki and Star to carry in Balto. Jenna, Drago and Kodi watched as the guys carried in Balto. Jenna out and ran to Balto and ran through the water and hugged him happy to see him alive.

She was followed by Kodi who also hugged him after they hugged they went to the shore. It good to see you alive dad, well you can thank Steele for that. Everyone turned to Steele and looked at the nazi inform he had on and then Jenna spoke up. So Steele you’re a nazi, well no I’m just working in there fleet. So you’re not a nazi, no I will never be one of them I just work for them.

Then Drago stepped forward, um Steele nothing toward you but you met want to get out of here. Why, well if high command get down here your under arrest. Well if you forgot I have a crew that can man those guns on the deck in less then a minute. Well we have six five inch guns trained on your ship. Well then I guess I will leave, but before Steele could head back to the u-boat Balto stopped him.
