　〃Intelligence　and　beauty　are　such　a　wele　bination；〃　Sandecker　said　with　unveiled　appreciation。　〃The　young　lady　has　stated　my　fears　exactly。　It's　imperative　that　we　find　that　long…lost　cache　before　Gogstad　does。〃
　
　〃I　was　trying　to　figure　out　how　to　pinpoint　the　location　when　you　called。　I'm　going　to　need　some　help。〃
　
　〃That's　not　a　problem。　Use　any　NUMA　resource　that　you　need；　and　if　we　don't　have　them　we'll　find　them　else　where。〃
　
　〃I　think　Joe　and　I　should　leave　as'　soon　as　possible　for　Alaska。〃

　　〃Thank　you；　and　please　call　me　Francesca；〃　she　said　as　they　strolled　to　the　elevator。
　
　〃I　will　if　you　call　me　Kurt。　Tell　me；　do　you　prefer　Korean；　Thai；　Italian；　or　just　plain　old　American　cooking？〃
　
　〃I　beg　your　pardon。〃
　
　〃No　one　told　you？〃　he　said　with　mock　amazement。　〃Dinner　is　part　of　the　Austin　rescue　package。　I　hope　you　won't　refuse。　Who　l
