While Catarina and Bianca retained their Austrian citizenship, they traveled on a special class U.S. Diplomatic passport as a result of their political asylum. This insured their un-hassled reentry into the United States on their return. John and Cindy traveled under normal U.S. passports. Cindy’s showing a slight shift from her actual date of birth.
When they landed they were greeted by the Vice-Chancellor and the U.S. Ambassador. They accepted the hospitality of each for one night respectively. The Austrian government desiring to monopolize their time as Catarina and Bianca had become celebrities in their absence.
Their faces had become were well known to the slightly over eight million residents of the small country. John and Cindy had become just as well known.
After a night in a castle -which Cindy adored, and dared not tell Sally about- and a night in the Ambassador’s mansion they managed to obtain their freedom.
Traveling by train to the largely tourist community of Innsbruck in the state of Tyrol. On the train, total strangers walked up to them and thanked John for saving Catarina’s life. Both Catarina and Bianca acting as interpreters, as John’s high school German was woefully inadequate. Most of the strangers would shift to broken English when they learned of John’s illiteracy of their language. A fact that made John feel deficient. He did his best to answer them back in their own language. This yielded many amusing moments for both the strangers and Catarina and Bianca. Catarina took pity on him and began tutoring him in German.
The ride to Innsbruck didn’t take very long, as the whole country was slightly smaller than the state of Maine. The longest part of the journey was due to the mountainous terrain.
Once in Innsbruck, Catarina and Bianca came alive. Acting as tourist guides for John and Cindy. They took them to many lovely places. Cindy felt like they were still on their honeymoon. John greatly encouraged this feeling, as he was attentive and affectionate. They checked into the nicest hotel in town. John putting both the adjoining rooms on his credit card.
After another stroll around town, during which John purchased a magnifying glass, a jewelers loupe and some hand tools, Catarina led them to the warehouse where her things were stored. They spent half an hour or so, unstacking and unpacking boxes until Catarina discovered the box containing the Cuckoo Clock her father had given her. They repacked and restacked the rest of the items and then returned to the hotel with the clock.
John spread out a newspaper on an old coffee table to protect the finish. He sat on the floor and began examining the clock.
“This must be hundreds of year old.” he commented to Catarina.
“Yes, when I had it appraised, that is what they told me, but they could not give me an exact date.” she replied.
“Well, I have no doubt that it’s from at least the eighteenth century, possibly the seventeenth. I don’t know the history of Cuckoo Clocks, so I couldn’t really say. But it’s definitely old.” John said.
“So that is its value?” Catarina asked, “It was only appraised for seven hundred dollars, American.”
“Oh, only partially. Do you mind if I take the back off?” John asked.
“No. But please be careful. It is one of my few memento’s from my parents.” Catarina replied.
“I shall be as gentle as I can.” John replied.
Catarina nodded.
John carefully examined the back. There were small wooden pins that held it in place. Using the tools he purchased, he carefully removed them one at a time, placing them in a small dish. Once all were removed, he carefully removed the back, revealing the intricate mechanism. John examined the back with the magnifying glass and then set it aside, turning his interest to the inside. He carefully laid it face down on the paper. Using a penlight he continued his investigation.
“This looks like Russian or Cyrillic. Catarina, do you know these characters?” John asked, using a small screwdriver as a pointer.
Catarina took the magnifier and examined the area he indicated. John held a penlight to illuminate the area.
“It appears to be a date, some initials and many numbers. Then one word.” she said.
“What is the date?” John asked.
“Nineteen-fifteen. Perhaps it is not as old as we thought.” she mused.
“Maybe. And the initials?” John asked.
“G ... E ... R” she replied.
“G.E.R?” John said, sitting back, pondering.
Slowly a grin spread on his face.
“You know who this refers to?” Catarina asked.
“Possibly. I think, it refers to: Gregory Efimovitch Rasputin. The date and type of letters would seem to partially confirm that. Also Sergei’s extreme interest.” John said.
“Rasputin? The mystic who hung around the Romanoffs?” Catarina asked.
John grinned and nodded.
“What could his possible interest be in a Cuckoo Clock?” Cindy asked.
“Not in the clock itself, in what’s in it.” John said.
“And what is that?” Cindy asked.
“I’m not certain ... yet.” John replied.
He got a note pad and had Catarina transcribe the entire inscription.
In order it read: “1915 GER 197791-791197”
John took the magnifier and the penlight and continued his inspection of the interior of the clock. Once, taking the Jewelers loupe and examining some small scratches on a gear. Then he carefully replaced the back and reinserted the wooden pins. He then placed the clock back in its packing box and replaced the lid.
He took the paper with the inscription on it and put it in his pocket.
“Shall we go have some lunch, before we go see how rich you are?” John asked.
“Rich?” Catarina asked.
“Yes, if it’s what I think it is.” John replied, “Quite rich.”
“What do you think it is?” Cindy asked, dying with curiosity.
“Please allow me a little Mysticism.” John chuckled, cryptically.
“Okay, play your game.” Cindy said.
She knew he was up to something. Something big. She knew him too well.
John had Catarina direct them to the best restaurant in town. There -with Catarina’s assistance- he ordered them an outstanding gourmet meal, adding a very expensive bottle of Champagne.
“Are you going to tell us what this is about?” Cindy chided.
“Nope. Not till after lunch.” John replied.
“Let him have his fun. I am content to enjoy your company while I have it.” Catarina said.
John toasted her and Bianca with the champagne. They drank to their good fortune.
When the check arrived, John hardly noticed it, except to add a worthy gratuity for the excellent meal. He put the whole thing on one of his platinum credit cards.
“And now what?” Cindy asked, once they were outside.
“Now, I would like Catarina and Bianca to direct me to the bank where their father worked.” John said.
The women both winced a bit.
“It is important?” Catarina asked.
“I believe so. Yes, very important.” John replied.
“We have not set foot in the bank since our parents died.” Catarina said, sadly.
“I know this must be painful for you. But I believe it will be well worth it.” John said, taking her hand.
“Yes. I can see you are serious. Perhaps it is time to face our past once more.” she said, bravely.
She guided them to a very old building in an older part of town. Her and Bianca seemed to be lost in memories when they entered.
With Catarina’s assistance, John requested to see the manager.
After a time they were directed into a large office. A very stoic man in a very conservative suit sat behind a large desk.
“Do you speak English, Sir?” John asked.
“A little. Not very well.” the man replied.
“This is Catarina and Bianca Rothschild, whom you may have knowledge of. Their father used to work for this establishment.” John said.
“Yes, I knew him well. A very fine and devoted employee. His death was a most tragic event I remember you as little girls. You have my deepest condolences over your parents’ death. And you Sir?” asked the man.
