Inspector Pitbull (Soufrière Hills Volcano)

We stood in front of the temple's blocked door, monitoring the search operation from a cordless screen that a SEAL was holding.

"Sir, we found a submarine structure," crackled the radio.

I told the SEAL to zoom in the image of the commando that announced the news and gaped at the screen. A half-buried, inverted pyramid rose, completely submerged in water, from the bottom of the sea.

"Tell everybody the Duke's position," I ordered, zipping up my diving suit.

"But, sir, are you going to suspend the search in the rest of the volcano?" "Do as I told you! We'll need all our men! The Duke won't give up easily."

"Yessir!" the man palmed his radio, "Fox 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, backup Eagle 1. Fox 7, broadcast your location." A chorus of 'roger and out' greeted the new orders.

I put on my diving mask and Agent Chang and I dove into the cold water to find the inverted pyramid, meet our men and face the bloody Duke.
