Chapter 1

Vickie said, “Marty and Tom do not know what’s in the 26 caves. That’s why you’re here. We came in after the fact and it was a mess. They would like to stop that this time. This is one of the large caves also in the center of the rest of the caves so if we have the room you can move them here. Log them and store them.”

“I don’t understand,” said Jim?

Vickie replied, “You are already working for them if you want the job, Jim. Steve said you were one of the best and that was good enough for both Tom and Marty.”

Jim asked, “What about Illinois University?”

“It’s your choice, take a quick look around between here and what you have! About 75 % of the United States stored pieces of war history and 26 caves to go. We are not talking about pieces of buckles we are talking about a new whole uniform, crated oil papered weapons, logs with Captain Daily records, no such things from where you come from. An almost unlimited funding to finish then likely a museum of war history with your name on it, not theirs.”

“They don’t want that, do they?” Jim exclaimed.

Tom told Marty there were 2 large rooms in the back and 2 small ones. Marty said “SO” Tom answered “The right room the walls are Quartz”

“SO,” Marty said again.

Tom replied, “The other part is gold. The left one looks like silver and green stones.” Tom then asked about a Geologist?

“Let’s ask Doc., Marty said. They walked out looking at the mass rooms and Jim kicking around stones. Tom called over to Jim to stop kicking the gold stones and does he know of a Geologist?

He finally looked down and said, “Oh my God!”

Tom asked, “Well do you know anyone?”

He said if he could find his sister in Alaska, she’s really good!

Arron tossed him his Satellite phone and said call. He found her in Nome, Alaska and her job just ended but the plane didn’t move for 3 days. Tom called the Charter company and found out they had a pickup in Anchorage in 2 hours and would swing by and get her. Tom told Jim.

Jim spoke to his sister and said, In about 4 hours a charter plane will pick you up, be there!”

She asked why and was told, “Trust me you will want to be there.”

Arron said to me we might want to go back and reload stuff for her. Jim’s phone rang asking a thousand questions. He said to her, “Are you up to tenting it tonight”

“Yes, do you think I need to?”

“You can wait until tomorrow if you want! Ask the pilot when you’ll be in.”

“Where are you?”

“Boston at the moment.”

“BOSTON?

Yes, the pilot said touch downtime about 7:30. We will stay here tonight and go in the morning.

Arron said if they stayed tomorrow they would be good also he would have at least 2 men for safety. “We will send enough to keep you and her okay! I doubt she will walk away from this.”

Jim met the plane and picked up his sister Anna in the limo and brought her back to the house. The girls were there Linda, Mary, and Vickie to start with. Tom and Marty stayed back for a while. Carol got Jim’s sister, Anna something to snack on! Before any questions were answered Linda had Anna sign all the needed paperwork to protect the company Jim was told to tell her the basics until tomorrow at the cave. She was told they would probably need a geologist to verify and take care of an area that they have.

She looked at Jim and she said that she would see it tomorrow for sure! He told her he was walking around and Tom told him to stop kicking his rocks and opened a bag and dumped out about 20 rocks some as big as your hand. She looked at them and said, “Oh God, these were on the surface.” and got a yes? “How many?” Thousands.

“Steve said he found 2 caves the left one with quartz and gold and the right one with silver and green stones in the wall.”

She looked at her brother and he said, “Want a job?”

She said, “Are you kidding where do I sign.” and he said you already did “WOW” Anna looked at Linda and asked, “Are they kidding me,” and she said no.

Linda explained, “Try to get some rest tonight, tomorrow is going to be busy. After breakfast in the morning, Arron will helicopter you to the cave and you will then see what you were told. If Steve said it’s there, it’s there. Tell us if you need help and who!

Linda said, “Anna this is not your normal business. We have different divisions that take care of parts of the company. Tim does coins, Vickie does jewelry, Your brother is new but may become a very wealthy man. He is responsible for the 3 wars and all the items that go with it. Do you know the new museum in New York? That is part of us and valued at ½ billion dollars. Your brother may triple that. We will tell you why tomorrow. Mary does all the billing for New York harbor repairs also New Jersey gas and oil companies and refineries repairs, 100’s of millions, there are 2 divisions for parts and boats. We are now building the boats in Jacksonville Fla. for most harbors. At last count 1314 boats at between 1.1 and1.7 million a boat and now your little venture.”
