"No
one will believe us if we tell the FBI or CIA." "Blackmail countries? This must
be real big!" "Let's go!" "Whoa! We don't know where to go. We don't speak
Swiss." "Don't some speak English?" "Let's search for 'delausanne' on the
computer." Ten minutes later they found something. "There is a 'Rue delausanne'
in Geneva, Switzerland. "Yoh, Geneva is where CERN is located. Is all this
connected to the particle physic lab there?" "Yoh, maybe we will save the
world!" "This is sooo exciting and romantic," said Gemgirl. "And dangerous,"
replied Magnum. "We have to figure out how to get to Geneva." "Maybe we could
apply online for jobs there," answered Star, "I want a job in a Swiss chocolate
store." "Ho ho, girl, you would be as big as Bear in a week." "Hey, lay off, I'm
not fat; it's all muscles." "I know, and I love everyone of them," said Gemgirl
hugging him.
The next day they had maps and everything they needed. "I
wonder what the heck is on those discs?" "I hope we can get a big reward, and
live in high society." "I told my Mom we had great jobs in Geneva and would
write them often." "O.K., everybody start using your new names." "The passports
will be ready in an hour." "Swiss Air has our tickets at Kennedy charged to
Mr.Thomas Canton." "I have a gun and the surveillance equipment," said Magnum
dressed in an airport security uniform. "If there is a problem, Star, use your
return ticket and come back and get me out of the "clink."
But all went as
planned. Flying into Geneva airport Star exclaimed, "We ain't got no mountains
like this in the city." "They look sooo cold," responded Gemgirl. The next day
after walking the Rue delausanne several times and not discovering anything,
Marcus asked, "What now?" "To bed; tomorrow we will go back in shifts and watch
all day and night." Star left early the next morning on the first shift. When
she did not phone the others in one hour as instructed to do, the other three
headed out to find her.
"Anthony, keep your hands down!!! We know you have a
gun," said the bearded men that came up behind the three adventurers. Follow us
quietly!!!"
Anthony, Marcus, and Nickie were led to a nearby restaurant.
They went through the kitchen and into a storeroom. A large old stove was moved,
and underneath it a floor panel was unlocked using a long code number and a
frequency beam. Underground was a large room with computers, tables, chairs,
beds, and electronic equipment the three had never seen or read about. Strapped
in one of the chairs was Anita. Using language translating handheld devices one
of the men spoke, "So sorry; we will not hurt you, but you will not get
permitted to leave. You are spying?" "No, we are here on a vacation," answered
Anthony, "We don't know who you are or what you are doing? Our parents will be
looking for us if we don't go right back to the hotel." "No,no" replied one of
the foreigners, "We know who you are and why you are here. We know you about
your computer hacking skills. You can help us; we no can risk our lives; there
is danger of being killed, but no one would suspect kids like they would us. You
could make the contacts and travel with information better. If you help us, we
will pay you more money than you could ever use. But first we must publish your
deaths in the newspapers and give you new identities." "This is fun," whispered
Star to Magnum. "Let to me introduce us selves. I am Hugues Jagmetti; this is
Wolfgang Gisin; this is the noble prize winner Jorn Zbinden, and this is Dr.
Carlos Ueberfeld. We all died in an air crash two years ago." "They don't look
dead," Star whispered again to Magnum. "We are all with you," said Anthony
boldly.
What the four pals learned in the next few days was astounding. The
discs contained data from a search of the whole universe for life. The discs
were encrypted; the computers didn't use the internet and were protected with
original firewall software. There were two different and secret instruments
unknown to anyone else. One was an electronic telescope that could see to the
ends of the universe. The other was a DNA life scanner. The telescope was a
compounded digital unit not needing a light source. The DNA scanner searched for
human and animal DNA everywhere in the universe and reported the locations. Both
instruments utilized new supercharged particles that could travel a trillion
times faster than light. The instruments had scanned the whole universe in less
than one year time. "So what's out there?" asked Gemgirl.
