Unaware of the criminal tornado that had been swirling around Hans Luden for weeks, Shea Moore was in love. He and Anne Lamont were all around Boston. The North End was a favorite spot, and, on Hans Luden’s recommendation, the couple went to Salvatore’s at least once a week.
The MIT student was learning from his B.U. counterpart. When he bossed her around, she put him in his place, and she didn’t tolerate any pseudo bro behavior. Moore quickly realized that he knew nothing about courtship or women. He was smart enough to stay quiet and figure things out as he went along. His making love was like a fine wine, but even in that department, he was ignorant. He wished his brother were there, but he was beginning to realize he needed to be on his own.

Hans Luden thought Bruno Santi might be out of his picture for now, but soon he had another threat. This time it was from the federal government, specifically the Federal Bureau of Investigation. On a Wednesday morning, Luden received a letter which read in part:
We understand that you are developing a program that could be highly beneficial to the United States Government. According to Martin v. the US (1941), the United States may seize any material related to intellectual property by eminent domain if it poses a threat or benefits the public by reducing a danger. You are hereby ordered to submit all documents related to this program by noon on Saturday, May 7.
Luden chuckled at the arrogance of these white-shirted, entitled attorneys who believed they could intimidate others with their fancy decrees. He felt energized and quickly acted. First, he called Shea Moore to arrange a meeting for the next day. Then, he contacted the leading attorney for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to schedule a meeting two days later.
