Unlikely Warning

Olivia stayed behind in the fishing boat. Curiosity outweighed anything else. She wanted to know who this mysterious person was. On the hammock she found an old, leather bound book. The pages yellowed with time. Olivia cracked open the book. A few of the pages disintegrated, but the rest remained intact. It appeared to be written with a quill pen by someone with bad handwriting. Olivia squinted her eyes to read the chicken scratches, but the crackling of the antique radio disturbed her concentration. "Hello, old friend." It was Sgt. Rogers' voice. "I came to give you fair warning. All eyes are on you. In fact we even have eyes in the sky." At that moment Olivia could hear the blades of the helicopter directly overhead. "If I were you I'd get out right now." Olivia clasps the book shut. "You can choose not to believe me,but I wouldn't." Sgt. Rodgers continues. Olivia clutches the book in her right hand and heads for the exit. She holds her breath, diving deep underwater so as not to be seen by the helicopter.She swims so far underwater that she almost touches the floor. High above ground in the helicopter, the pilot, Eagle Eyes awaits his orders. "Eagle Eyes, I want you to strike now!" Sgt. Rodgers commanded over his radio. The pilot pressed a big, red button. Half a second later a bomb fell out of the helicopter. It landed square on the fishing boat causing a gigantic orange explosion that hurled flaming debris across the sea.
