The story
The CIA has covertly hired Professor Jerry Hathaway at Pacific Tech University to develop the power source for "Crossbow", a laser weapon precise enough to commit illegal political assassinations from outer space.
Mitch's ideal of Chris is shattered, however, when Chris turns out to be more of a slacker than a hard-working student.
Hathaway lambasts Mitch, who breaks down and tearfully calls his parents.
