Once we were in dad's office, with me sitting in dad's chair and Ray, Janet and Mark all seated, Janet said so what is he doing here, pointing to me? Ray said he is my guest. Mark said, I thought this was a family meeting? Ray replied, he is my family since you threw me in that school across the state and stopped making tuition payments. There was silence and I was not about to enter into things as Ray was doing well. Ray handed his dad a document and said please sign that and let's not make it complicated. Mark looked at the papers and handed the papers back saying no way in hell. Ray calmly asked, why not? It will happen in a couple of months anyway. Mark looked at Ray and said, well then you won't have long to wait, but not now. There isn't one damn thing you deserve from us. Ray said ok, I tried to do this the easy way, I guess I'll see you in family court. Janet laughed out loud and asked where the hell would you get the money for that? I bet you are drug free as you have no money for anything let alone drugs. With that she stood up and I said Janet please sit. Janet looked at me and said, I'm your aunt refer to me that way. I smiled and said Aunt Janet, sit the fuck down and listen. She turned bright red and I said, look just like Ray I tried to be nice and that didn't work for me either.
I took several deep breaths and said, nicely, please listen for a moment. You are correct, you have Ray in a very difficult spot. My dad has mitigated that to a large degree as I'm sure you are aware and he does so willingly. I wasn't even aware of it at first. Ray and I were like brothers for a long time and we grew apart, far apart. We have both grown up a lot, him more than me. He has made difficult changes and worked his ass off, without any involvement from the two of you. We are slowly getting back to where we were. Well let's cut to the chase, what does that mean for you two? Well, I don't say this often but I have a ton of money, well that's not true, I have tons of money, so much I would have a hard time spending it all. I control two cooperations and a number of smaller companies. I have three attorneys on retainer and a PR department attached to my corporations. Now I know you are sitting there thinking this young punk is about to threaten us. Well, sorry to disappoint you as I don't do that, ever. But here is what I am about to do. Simply outline what I am willing to do for Ray, should the two of you decide not to sign the emancipation papers. It is your choice, totally.
Tomorrow morning by 9:00 Ray will have access to a fund for legal and living expenses totaling $50,000. He will have available to him at a reduced hourly rate my three attorneys. My PR department will make sure that this get attention in the various media outlets. Now is this all worth fucking him over for a couple of months? Mark looked at me and said, so hot shot isn't all that money tied up in your trust and the companies? I said well it really none of your business but I am well paid by the companies I control. Trust me what I just outlined is easily accomplished. All it will take is one phone call and I'll be on with my day. Ray was just looking at me. I said well I have other things to do tonight, so either sign the paper or not. Have a good night and I left leaving the three of them to work thing out.
I went to my room and found Sean sitting in a chair drinking a beer and he asked, so how much did that little spat cost you? I said nothing as they will free Ray. They don't have the money to fight with me. We were just talking about the visit and I asked if he was really staying the two weeks and he said, yup I'm having a blast. We were talking for about 30 minutes and there was a knock on the door and it was Ray with a big smile on his face. I said, I've never seen anyone happy about being homeless before. He said dude you were awesome. I fucking owe you big time. I said Ray, you have a lot of thing to work out and you don't owe me anything, please don't fuck this up. I said Ray remember Rule 3. He laughed and said, shit I haven't heard those rules in a long time, is that still, we always have each other's backs? I said yup and he sat down and the three of us just chilled. Sean asked about all the flying lessons and I said well I have a test to take for that and a final for CMU and when I pass that I'll have 9 credits. He said shit you are serious about having a year in when you walk on campus, I smiled and said well I intend to fly there and then walk on campus with 24 credits. He said so we are graduating together and I said yes. That might be Rule 9, YOU BET YOUR SWEET ASS. He shook his head and said goodnight and him and Ray left for the apartment.
I went downstairs, found dad and said goodnight. He motioned for me to have a seat. He shook his head and said, so I hear you told Janet to sit the fuck down? I laughed and said, well I asked Janet to sit back down and then I had to tell Aunt Janet to sit the fuck down. He said, well I stand corrected. So Mike, why the strong support for Ray? Dad, I caused a lot of what happened to him, I could have used a different approach. He has changed and if you remember I even gave Bill a second and then a third chance. The Ray I grew up with and were best buds with seems to be back. So Mike, will there be a third chance? I said dad, I don't know. He said you seem to have a light day at work tomorrow and I know better than that, what you working on? I said asses in seats in the new building. He laughed and said, well good luck with that. I said so dad, what you working on? He said nothing I'm ready to talk about. I shrugged and said good night.
I had a great sleep and woke just before the alarm clock. The run was again fun with all five of us and the banter and chatting continued to pick up. I had a busy day with work and the flight lesson. JJ, Sean and I had coffee together and then it was off to work. It was 8:30 when I got there and Ruth, just looked as I guess I was later than usual. I felt bad when Riley was waiting with the usual update and we spent a lot of time looking at furniture drawings and it was looking good at least for the NASA people and it looked like there was a small empty work area. We discussed the need for drawings from the Strip District space and I knew that Bruce, from the furniture dealership had those. Then I asked that she have Jack look at those drawings and see how the GE crew would fit into that set up. Then we would figure out the changes with Bruce. Riley asked why the need to get this done months ahead of schedule? I replied FOOTBALL. She said does the season run that late? I said well state finals are mid December. There was a knock on the door and Ruth said Mike, your dad would like you to stop to see him and please, on occasion considering answering you office phone. I said Ruth it didn't ring. She said, I hope that system gets imploded with this lovely building. She said, I'll have someone look at the phone, but find time for your dad. Riley and I finished up a few minutes later and I checked dads schedule.
As it seemed he was free I asked Ruth to see if he had time for me. A couple of minutes later dad appeared came in and closed the door. Dad sat down and I joined him in a guest chair. He said Mike we need to replace Brian on the Trust, it will be winding down and you need to get ready for that. Dad, obviously you wants something and you feel that a third vote might be needed. Why don't you just tell me? Mike this has to be legal, totally legal. I said, ok get Bill in here from Tim's office. Dad reached for my phone and I laughed as it wasn't working. He put the phone down and shouted RUTH, COME IN HERE.
When Ruth appeared dad said would you find Tim's associate Bill and have him come here. Ruth started to leave and I said Ruth, thanks and she chuckled. Dad and I simply chatted and it was about 5 minutes when Bill appeared. I thanked him for getting here so quickly. Bill, we need a third vote for my trust and I know that's unfair and there might not be a vote, in fact it is unlikely today. Tim has all the Trust papers and I will instruct him to give them to you. You should review the Trust documents and meet with me tomorrow afternoon. Right now please listen to what dad is about to propose.
I looked at dad and he said Mike, before you leave today there will be a prospectus delivered to you. I am buying a Technology Company for $10,000,000 and am offering you 10% for $1,000,000. I will maintain 55% of the company and will find other investors. I assume that the money you would need comes from the Trust. I am abstaining so you need Bill and you to agree. I said dad, please take my paperwork home as I have a flying lesson. Dad shook his head and said sure. Dad left and Bill said Mike, what the fuck, I'll be up all night. Bill, just do your best and we will talk tomorrow. So Mike, your dad just asked for a Million and you didn't blink. I said well there is a lot of time to blink or say no but dad never lays an egg. All I want is an honest opinion, nothing more nothing less and consult with Tim.
With that drama complete, I called for another salad and was just as disappointed as the last time. This time I asked Ruth if she could find a better choice for food. She laughed and said she would work on it. I was working on what was becoming my pet project and Kyle came in closed the door and sat down. I looked at him and said what's the problem? He said nothing, well except that I need some quiet. We are 7 months into this pregnancy and work has me stressed. I said well what's with work, I can help there but not with the other. He laughed and said well it's just non stop. I said well how about you leave thing to Dillon and take some time off. He laughed and I picked up my cell phone and called security and said please cancel Dr. Williams access pass until Monday morning. I looked at him and said once you leave today you can't get back in the building till Monday, enjoy the long weekend. Kyle and I'll have you escorted out of here at 4:00 today. Now I have flying lessons and you can sit here the rest of the day. He just looked at me and said thanks and I said, by the way take the wife to dinner and expense it, please. With that I turned off the computer, said goodnight to Ruth and drove to the airport in West Mifflin.
At the airport, I didn't see the Major so I started the check list and was almost finished when I discovered a large dent in one of the flaps. I noted it and finished the checklist. Once the Major arrived I showed him the dent and he looked at it and said I don't like that as it is on the edge and is pretty big. I'll have it fixed but we need to cancel today. It's not a major thing but this isn't important today. I asked if it was important would he fly? He said, nope. Then he said, I'm being very careful and that dent is big enough to disrupt the flow of air over a major surface of the craft. There is no rush so let's spend some time with test questions.we went into a small office and I was grilled for 45 minutes and was told, I was ready but could use some work on communications. He said, they are actually pretty good except you love the shortcuts, just like everyone else that is young and starting out. I'm betting you pick some of that up from Jack. He said the Cessna Would be fixed in a couple of day, so relax.
We got in separate cars and I drove home. Dad, Megan and Cole were eating and they just looked at me and dad said that was a short flight or did you crash on takeoff? I just shook my head and said, well I discovered a problem when I did my checklist. So the flight was scrubbed. They all laughed at the NASA term and I sat down asking is there anymore. I was told there was a plate for me in the refrigerator and I said thanks popped it in the wave and opened a beer. Once I sat down dad said the information we discussed is on your desk in your room. I said thanks and he asked what did Kyle do to get suspended till Monday. I almost fell off the stool laughing and said, where the heck did that come from. He has worked like 40 days straight, his wife is 7 months pregnant and to make sure he took time off I simply suspended his access tot he building. Then dad said, so why was he escorted out of the building at 4:00? I said because he refused to go home and relax.
Once the kitchen was put back in order, I went to my room and called Beth. She said Mike this is a surprise, I thought you were flying? Then she immediately said you better not be flying distracted by talking to me. I found that hysterical and said nope, mechanical issues. So how was your day? She said great, I got my haircut and a doctors appointment. I said are you ok? She said absolutely, it was a routine checkup and a prescription update. I asked if that was a good thing and she said, well it will be if we ever get to the point where we have sex. I said, well please don't push and there will always be condoms. She simply changed the subject and moved to my schedule for the rest of the week. I said I was free Thursday and Friday evenings as well as Saturday afternoon and evening. There would be morning flight lessons on Saturday and again on Sunday. I said babe, Saturday would be good as Cole has a one day tournament in Ohio and I think Sean and Ray are going along. Then she asked if we could have dinner Thursday? I said sure, where do you want to go? She said, anyplace the average high school kid could afford, so no country clubs, no Tavern and not that place in Greentree. Simply surprise me. I thought damn more drama but said goodnight and hung up.
I went downstairs poured an iced tea and went back to my room and started on the prospectus. It was long and complicated and I skimmed through it, to get the basics. With that done I started to carefully read the document and had about a 100 questions. I refilled my ice tea and went and found dad. He said well you have been locked in your room all night, any thoughts? I said dad it is a very interesting, small video game company and this is indeed a growing area. I'm sure you know that we have a department at Technologies. Dad said, well it makes money but isn't nearly as good. I said, I totally agree. There has to be another way without spending 10 million and bringing in other investors. In fact I think 10 million is too much. Mike, that's their ask not my offer. Then he asked, Mike how could we do this? Dad, you could buy the Technology division. Then sell it to Wave Technologies. Use the proceeds to buy a controlling interest in Wave. At some point I would buy a sizable share of Wave and you have complete control. Dad, all you need to do is make sure your share in Wave is contingent on the sale. Wave gets an influx of money and then has the resources to release their new game. Isn't that what this is all about? Dad who is the legal people working on this? He said Mike, you don't know them. Ok dad, that's actually good how about sitting up a meeting with them and both of us? He said thanks and lit a cigarette.
Back in my room I called Ryan and asked for a current financial report on my Trust. He said fine but what's up? I said, a possible major investment. He said how much and I said about a million. He immediately said that's not an issue and there is plenty left. I thought damn and said I need to see. Can you pull that together for tomorrow night. He said no problem. I thanked him and hung up.
I needed to relax and decided to see what the guys were up to so I went to the apartment. Sean took one look at me got off the sofa and handed me a beer saying you look like shit. Was it a bad lesson? I explained the non lesson and mentioned dad without details and sat down. We were chatting and all of a sudden Sean and Ray got up and Sean grabbed me under the arms and Ray grabbed my feet and I was carried in a bedroom and thrown on the bed. Ray held me down while Sean removed my shorts and started sucking me. Ray pulled his shorts down and had his balls by my lips, trying to teabag me. Suddenly there was a switch and Sean was kissing me and Ray jumped on my cock and was riding. Then Sean turned around and he was sitting on my chest and his cock was put at my lips and I started sucking. I don't know how it happened but we all shot loads within seconds of each other. We got dressed and each had another beer then I said good night. I stopped the door turned around and said thanks guys.
I took a quick shower and jumped into bed and tried to fall asleep. It took a while with my head spinning.
