CHAPTER 2
OCTOBER 30
“Ivan
and Nickie, so nice to see you!” Exclaimed Sally as she met the Russian and his
wife Nickie at the front door.
“It
is our pleasure, Sally.”
“Ivan,
you can find Shelly in the family room and he has a nice cold beer waiting for
you.”
As
Ivan walked down the hallway to the family room he noticed that the same photos
of Sheldon and Sally’s family and vacations.
“Nothing
ever changes; it is almost as if they do not live here at all.” Thought Ivan.
As
Ivan entered the family room Sheldon got up from his easy chair and handed a
cold beer to Ivan.
“Games
already started. The Bills are a head 7
to zip. Damn Washington! What is wrong with them?”
“Maybe
they need John Elway.”
“I
doubt John would ever come out of retirement and especially play with these
loosers.”
“By
the way Ivan, it seems that the FBI is tracking your phone calls.”
“Really? I wonder for what reason?”
“They
seem to think that you are some sort of Spy.”
“Did
they say for whom I am spying for?”
“The
home land, Russia.”
“But
I am a registered Republican!”
“Anyway,
did you by any chance find out anything about the “Top Secret” Project that
People magazine mentioned?”
“Apparently
some people in Russia are worried that the Siberian Brown bears may be going
extinct and are trying to train the bears on how to find things to eat in the
wild.”
“What
are they doing showing them how to use a GPS system?”
“Actually,
some Russian scientists have invented an application for a smart phone to locate fish and other foods for the bears to eat.”
“No
Shit! Oh wow! You gotta be kidding!”
“No
really, the scientists had to modify the phones for the bears paws but it seems
to be working. They even included an
application to tell the male bears where the female bears that are in heat can
be located.”
“Wow,
I could sure have used that back in my single days.”
“You
and me both, just don’t mention it to Nickie, she is still a little upset about
Atlantic City.”
“
“The
Russian scientists are really excited because they think they may get a Nobel
Peace prize for their efforts to save the Siberian bears from extinction.”
“No
kidding! Boy, that would really put a
feather in their collective hats, wouldn’t it.”
“Yes
it would. That plus it would almost assure more funding from the World Wild Life Federation. In the millions of
dollars.”
“You
don’t say!”
Looking
back at the television Sheldon exclaimed,” Shit fire! The Bills kicked a field
goal. What say we turn this crap off and
go join the ladies.”
