When Bob Kitteridge was a foreign correspondent for the Amalgamated News Agency, a Romanian named Gregory Vanescu supplied him with news tips and stories.
And when Bob returned to the United States, Vanescu followed him. And the Gestapo followed Vanescu. In fact, the Gestapo was only a few steps behind him when Gregory Vanescu sneaked into the Washington D.C. office of the Amalgamated News Agency in whispered, Keith Reed.
Well, well, Gregory Vanesky. Shhh. I haven't seen you since somebody tried to slice your throat that night in Istanbul. What some people will do to get meat. Somebody's trying to kill me tonight, too. These men are trying to stop me from giving you the biggest news story of your career.
Well, what are we waiting for? Let me hear the story. Ah, ah, ah, ah. Bob had been fired but the amalgamator news agency. But he knew that if he could uncover the big news story, he'd not only get his job back.
But help his standing with Christina Hill. However, before Vinescu could give Bob the news scoop. The guest-off agents were shooting at him and he had to run. But now before Bob had talked Christina into giving Vinescu $5,000 of the news agency's money to pay for the story they didn't get.
We've got to raise the money to pay back the firm, Bob. I've got 400 in the bank. That leaves us 4,600 short. Have you got any money? Just $6.87 and a wokey button. The one I wear over my Hoover button.
