Mark: Luke, I'm in trouble!

Luke: (Starts yelling at his older brother.) I knew it! Those computer systems finally did you in!
Who is after you this time? Scotland Yard, Mossad? NSA? Dude, you have to understand, the
last time someone was "after you" I, I repeat, I got tailed for 7 months straight!

Mark: I don't know...yet.....

Luke: Mark, you're crazy. Good luck, good night and good bye - I have work to do!

Mark: Luke, I need your help. I think I'm in deep on this one...

Luke: OK I'm listening. What's up?

Mark: Here goes nothing.... Could you take the next year off from school?

Luke: WHAT! waaiitt a minute here! Mark, I'm 4 semesters to graduation then I'm
out of here. My research is picking up speed. Dude, I just can't leave everything....

Mark: In the morning I'm going to pay your tuition PLUS the rest of your grad
school, if you do this. I'll even help you, your first year after school.
Listen, I have another flat in Kensington you can have for two years after you
graduate AND I'll give you a stipend of fifteen grand US per year while you are
"looking for work".

Whatcha say?

Luke: I believe in traveling light, Mark. What's four more semesters anyway? A year
off will do me good. What do I do?

Mark: You are going to meet Diana. She's on her way to the Isle of Man. Fly through
Gatwick. Diana will pick you up at the airport, but you are to leave immediately to
Aberdeen, where you will go to Finland; then rail it to Paris. I need you to take your
back pack with you. I'll order Eurail passes - for you and Diana. You two are "students"
seeing Europe until further notice. Understood?

Luke: Sir, Yes, Sir! Mark, I'm broke....

Mark: Check your E-Gold account. I dropped 8500 dollars US into it 5 minutes ago. Before
you leave your flat, open three free web based email accounts and have the first forward to
the second and the second forward to the third. You are to use only the second to send out email.
Email me once you land in Finland - take your laptop - they should have wireless in Helsinki.
This is a BIG job, Luke. I really appreciate it. I can't tell you where I'm going yet, but I'll
be in email communication. You're lucky - Diana likes you.

Luke: Great. I'm out the door. Later, bro.
