James
Goetz was pacing about in his apartment in Bridgeport. He was filled with
anxiety and not sure what to do. His grades at the University were excellent.
His family was in good health, though living quite an exciting life in just a
couple of weeks, James Goetz would be unemployed. All of his work has paid off.
All of his skills had been honed, re-honed, and honed once again. Patients were
lined up out of the door and around the block to see student doctor Goetz. Yet
in a few short weeks, it would all be over, as he will be graduating school to
go from student doctor Goetz to doctor Goetz. He felt the pressure, but there
was nothing to be done. As long as the earth continued to rotate around the
sun, time will naturally pass and James Goetz will graduate from the
University.
A
knock on the door produced a welcomed distraction. It was h is mother and
father, the Duchess and the professor. Early for graduation?” commented young
James Goetz. “No, we came up from Florida to see you for a very specific
reason,” stated the professor. James Goetz did not even realize his parents
were in Florida. Florida, New York, New Jersey, Ireland, Spain, China or
Antarctica, his parents could be anywhere. How often does a young man have a
mother who is an international spy and a father who is a professor of advanced
technologies?” Nonetheless, they were now in Connecticut and obviously were
concerned.
The
professor had been working on a super advanced technology. He had the idea that
he cold release extreme power and force of an atom, people cold power entire
cities off of that one single atom. After years of work and advanced research,
he made this possible. Professor Goetz called it, atomic energy. Unfortunately,
those he worked for at the United States government had ulterior motives as
well. They believed that one could not only power cities, but destroy them as
well. Even more concerning was he fact that a Russian spy who was embedded deep
within the United States government has stolen the plans for this technology.
These plans had to be recovered and if this technology could not be utilized
for good must unfortunately be destroyed.
The
Duchess, Mrs. Goetz, had a strong lead. Vladimir Boycheko was a professor who
worked at the United States Bureau of Secrets, a top-secret operation, not even
known to the president, for the last five years. Last week, he disappeared, as
did the plans. Intelligence shows he has been unable to leave the country and
is expected to be somewhere near Hoboken, New Jersey. An operation has been
established to bring him out of hiding.
The
world was in harms way. James Goetz, but a student, was being called upon to
help his parents save lives and in essence, save the world.
Boycheko
knew Professor Goetz. He did not know the younger Goetz. The Duchess knew Boycheko’s profile. A direct
boat ride to Russia was to be scheduled that week. It was up to James Goetz to
ensure Boycheko knew of it. Duchess Goetz was to apprehend the plans after
Professor Goetz; Boycheko’s colleague would have him out of his room long
enough. Once the plans were apprehended they would lower themselves into the
water on a lifeboat and row it back to New Jersey.
Easily
enough, all went without a hitch. James Goetz positioned himself near the
ticket window at the shipyard, talking loudly about a direct trip to Russia.
Boycheko bit the bait.
While
onboard, Professor Goetz conveniently bumped into his Russian colleague and
invited him for some Irish whiskey. As they spoke on the main deck, the
Duchesss snuck into Boychoko’s room, finding the plans as day in his suitcase.
She brought them t an emergency boat, where James Goetz awaited. What seemed
like forever, a lightly slurring professor made his way to the boat.
James
Goetz took the liberty of rowing his parents back home to New Jersey. He had to get back to Connecticut for he had
his final few weeks of class ahead.
