From the Deep (34 page)

“What do you think about it?”  Mike asked.

“If they are excited about sea monsters, they will leave us alone.  I think it’s good.  We can spend as much time as we need without drawing suspicion.  Japan has excellent anti-sub capabilities, so the more they are distracted, the better off we are.”

“Do you think the Japanese sank it?”

“It’s possible.  If they did, it’s in deep water and was never confirmed or reported.  A shallow water sinking would have been investigated and we would have heard about it through our contacts in the intelligence community.”

“I guess that’s good news,” Mike said finishing his dinner.  He sat for another hour or so before turning in for the night.
