I dropped JJ off and drove to the hospital. I found Ryan there, just sitting and I went up to him and put my hand on his shoulder and asked, Ryan how you doing. He said that he was good and that while it was still hard, he realized that none of this was his fault. He added that he was here to say goodbye. I just left the room, I checked in with the nurse and was told that Dr. Joyce was in and he would stop by and there was no change. I went to the cafeteria bought coffee and when I got back to the room, Ryan was gone and I went in and sat down. I was drinking my coffee and trying to remember a fun time with him and what he might really have liked. It was sad that I had no idea. Just then Dr. Joyce came in and sat down, he said son what your name,I'm sorry I don't remember? I said sorry, I should have introduced myself, I'm Mike. He said, Mike I get the sense you are keeping things at a reasonable pace and I was hoping to see you. Bill, will not recover and it's time to see if he will be breath on his own, I seriously doubt that he will and it's time to find out. Mike, talk with your dad and let me know. I said Doctor, give me 15 minutes and let me talk with dad. He said Mike, that's fine but I will need to hear from your dad. He got up and said, I'll be back in 15.
I called dad and asked him to come to the hospital, that it was decision time. He said Mike, I'm on my way. A few minutes later Dr. Joyce came back and I told him that dad would be here within an hour. He put is arm on my shoulder and said you might want to say goodbye while you are alone. I said thanks, I'll try. I got up, sat on the bed and held Bills hand and just looked at him and started to cry. I composed my self and looked at Bill and said in case you can hear, I love you but why did you have to quit? Is that a family thing or were you trying to win? I know that it is a family thing but we could have been different and ended that, but you quit on me. When this is all over you and mom can be together and dad and I will have each other, I guess that became what it is. I was sitting there just looking at Bill when dad came in. He asked if I was ok? I said yes, I'm good and I'll leave you two alone. I went to the cafeteria got two coffees and just sat there. I saw Dr. Joyce and told him dad was there and he said he would get the papers and be there shortly.
I took the coffee and went in the room gave dad the coffee and sat down. Dr. Joyce wasn't far behind. He said that he felt it was time to find out where we stood and that with dads signature they would remove the ventilator. He said that he felt it was unlikely Bill would breathe. Then he asked, if he struggles did we want him to be assisted? Dad said he did not want him to suffer, however he felt it was time to let him go. Doc looked at me and I asked, what is he feeling? The Doctor took a syringe and pricked Bills foot and there was no reaction. I said, ok that's dads decision and I sat down. The Doctor went over and pulled the tube out of Bill's throat and there was nothing. No movement and not even a involuntary response. A couple of minutes later the alarm went off and Bill was declared dead. I hugged dad. The Doctor said Bill would be in the morgue and to have the funeral director pick him up in a timely manner. Dad, thanked him and we left. Dad said that the arrangements were made and that the funeral director would have Bill cremated and that unless I objected there would be no services and no viewing. I said dad, we have separate cars, I'll let you know when we get home.
In the car, I thought, no fucking way in hell. Dad just wants to put him in a jar and have me deal with it. Bill, wasn't much and it will most likely just a few people there and I am not religious at all but we are having a viewing and a ceremony. After that it can be all me. We pulled into the driveway together. Dad went into the office and brought two glasses, ice and Scotch. I grabbed my drink and a cigarette and went outside and sat down. I did not have a jacket on and it was cold. I wasn't out there long and when I went inside, dad looked at me and said, I know a viewing and a service, I said correct and went upstairs and called Jim, Rob, Ryan, Tim and finally Carrie. Back downstairs, I said dad we can have the viewing Saturday morning and a noon service and cremation and I'll deal with both Bill and mom on break. I looked at him and said dad, it's just you and me and neither one of us better fuck it up. He smiled and said well we better both learn to win with grace. I said, dad or not win. I poured us another drink lit another cigarette and just sat there. Two more drinks, I went to my room fell on the bed and fell asleep fully dressed.
The next morning I was is in no shape to run. I went downstairs and made coffee, toasted a bagel and was sitting there reading the paper. Dad appeared and I said, please call school and call me off till Monday. He said he did that already and that we had an 11:00 meeting at the funeral home. I said ok and went back upstairs and thought this was a perfect time to get some work done. I drove to school and collected assignments for the week and went to see Coach Weston. We talked about JJ and his eligibility and said it should raise a lot of interest but no issue. His dad was transferred and they are looking for a house and have an apartment. I said that I was sorry that they ran a scam on me and that JJ will be somewhat difficult, but that I had it under control. He will be focused and cooperative by summer camp or be somewhere else. Coach, said I talked with his coach in Texas and I get it. He could work harder and take fewer shortcuts. I said, coach I am aware. Then I looked at the clock and said damn, I need to get home and deal with dad and the funeral home. I got home and dad said, Mike let's go we are going to be late.
At the funeral home, we set up a viewing from Noon to 2:00 and a service at the funeral home starting at 2:30. As there was a cremation I picked a container totally different than mom's. The funeral director asked for clothes and I said that I would drop them off tomorrow. Then to dad's surprise I handed the funeral director an obituary. Dad looked at it and said ok, put it in the paper on Friday. We drove home and inside dad went right to the scotch and cigarettes. I grabbed a glass of iced tea sat down and said dad, that's not the answer. He said Mike, shut the fuck up. I got up slammed the door so hard that it popped open and went to my room. I started to work on the math I picked up earlier and thought shit this is different and very hard. I don't know how long I was working on the stuff when I heard a knock on the door and dad opened the door and sat in a chair. I got up from my desk chair and sat beside him and said, sorry about the door. He said Mike, I get your mother, but Bill? Dad. Relax that was on me. Mike, how is it on you? Well dad, him and mom played us off against each other and he was sent to a big time school and was to be better than me. It didn't happen that way and being raised like mom wanted he simply quit. It was all in the fucking note, the one he left me.
Dad sat there and finally said, Mike it always goes back to your mom and me. I said well that's all over. There are no moving parts left. So Mike, why are you being so nice? Dad, I disliked both of them, mom intensely, but I grew to care about Bill, well a little. I should have been more there for him but left that to Ryan. I let him down. So Mike, dad asked, how you able to deal with that? Dad, I told him I would not always be there all the time but if he need me I would drop everything, he didn't call. It finally became what it has been for a while. Dad, total truth, I care but we need to do this right, not hide anything. Dad look at me and asked, so this is all for public image? I said, no but that is a consideration and it will always be a consideration, you and I have responsibilities and it is required of us. Michael, please don't over do things. I said, dad you need to understand we are only starting and it will get more and more complicated as things progress or we will be penniless. That's the only two options, all or nothing. I got up, patted him on the back, found the cigarettes and sat back down. Dad, I'm spending tomorrow at my office at Technologies and starting on figuring things out and restructuring the company. Also, I need to get the computer requirements for the NASA project. Mike, all that is in the office. I said great Kyle and I will start that tomorrow, I want to buy as much as possible using the GSA purchasing program. Understand that is complicated and we can't fuck that up or we will loose the NASA deal.
Dad, got up and went downstairs and I went back to math. As I was really struggling, I called Jim and said I really need you here Friday after the game and the girls are gone. He said, Mike I know, count on it. I said the funeral things start at noon. We chatted for a while about school and JJ and the long postponed team meeting. I called Carrie and filled her in on the plans for the funeral. She said, Mike this isn't your fault. I replied that it was as I wasn't enough of a brother for him? Carrie was quiet and then said, well he wasn't a brother to you at all. Carrie, can we please talk about this another time, I'm a mess. Mike, sure if that's what you need. I said we are going to the game Friday and that I would not be in school tomorrow or Friday. I said, I'm hoping Jim and Ash are coming and possibly JJ. She said what about Rob? Carrie, I'm counting on that as well and Jim want to go to the Tavern. She said ok, but I would really find another place. I said babe, I get that but it's part of JJ education, and he can be a pain. I said goodnight and I love you. I went downstairs and found dad, gave him a hug and said good night. He said Mike, use my office tomorrow, I won't be in. I said that's not happening, besides I'm not sitting in the office all day. I want to a real feel for the place, good night.
Back upstairs I took a shower and considered clothes for tomorrow. I decided on the engineer approach, jeans, shirt and tie and casual shoes but not running shoes. I laid all that out thought about the tie. I did not want dressed like everyone else yet not real far apart. I climbed into bed grabbed my phone and called Carrie. I asked about the tie and she said definitely and the jeans were perfect. She said it's more important that you are who you are in these early stages rather than making a statement. I said, babe I love you and good night. I pulled the covers and struggled to fall asleep.
The next morning, I woke in a totally shitty mood. I skipped the run, dressed and went down stairs. I put coffee on, saw the cigarettes grabbed one, started to light it, stopped put the cigarette back in the pack and threw it against the wall and waited for the coffee. I found my coat, filled the mug with coffee and went outside and sat down. I finished the coffee, went inside and drove to the office. I pulled into the parking lot planning to use dad's space and burst out laughing, damn I had a parking space. Inside, the place was not awake yet and very few people were around. I was wishing that Ruth had let me get my own coffee when I heard, Good Morning, Mr. Simmons and there was Ruth with coffee. I said what the ...... she laughed and said your dad said you would be in today and I knew you would be early. I thanked her and asked where my office was and was shown a small but nicely furnished room and I looked at the desk chair and once again laughed it was a match to mine at home. Ruth said you dad has been busy, I thanked her sat down and started to review the computer specs for the NASA project. About an hour later I asked Ruth to ask Dr. Williams to stop in to see me, mention it is important. I asked so where is the coffee? She said, Mike please walk with me and she took me to "cafeteria". I looked around and said Ruth, I'm sorry about this mess, it will be fixed. I grabbed another coffee and we went back to my office. Before I went in, I said Ruth, please have the maintenance director see me this morning. She smiled and said thank you Mr. Simmons. Ruth, I am Mike my dad is Mr. Simmons.
I went back to the office and was reviewing the computer specs when Ruth let me know Kyle was here. I got up and said Kyle, thanks for dropping everything and stopping by. He laughed and said, I did not get the idea that it was a request. I laughed and said, don't start, do you need anything? He laughed and said, you don't have enough time for me to answer that question. So Mike, what's do you need and why are you not in school? I tossed him the NASA binder and said input and a death in the family got me out of school. Kyle, sat down and started flipping through the binder and just then Ruth said, Mike your other meeting is here. I said send him in, please. In walked an older guy who said, what do you need? I said good morning, I'm Mike, who are you? He said the Maintenance Director. I took a deep breath and said so Mr. Director can you please explain why the Cafeteria is a pig sty? He said because it is't a high priority. I said well it is for me and you have exactly 2 hours to have it meet my expectations. He said so who in the hell are you? I noticed Kyle put the binder down and started to watch. I said ok Mr. Director, I'll give you a second chance. Go outside and tell Ruth you are here to see Mike Simmons and we will try to start over, now get the fuck out of my office. A couple of minutes later I got up and asked, Ruth where is that asshole? She said he left shaking his head. I said, please get me security. She handed me the phone, I said good morning, this is Mike Simmons, please find the Maintenance Director and escort him out of here, collect his personal shit and have it delivered to his house. Please make sure his security pass is on my desk in 15 minutes. Thanks, and I hung up. Back in my office Kyle was laughing and I said shut up and read and I laughed. Kyle, why don't you go to your office and we can talk later? He asked where I was going? I said to clean the cafeteria. Now he really laughed. I scrounged around and found a bucket, rags and went to work. As people came in there were looks, most not knowing who I was. I said good morning to everyone and kept working. Then people started to come back and asked if they could help. By the time we were finished there were 20 people there. I introduced myself and thanked everyone for the help and apologized for the mess.
Back in the office, Kyle was still reading, he looked up and said, kid you are unbelievable. I laughed and said, if you call me a kid again you will join Mr. Director in the parking lot and we both laughed. I asked Ruth to find me the maintenance crew and have them join me in the cafeteria, in an hour. She said, sure Mike, would you like more coffee? I said, yes please and bring Kyle some as well. When she came in with the coffee, she said thanks for the cafeteria and you are nothing like your dad. I laughed and replied, dad is a work in progress. Kyle said that the requirements were not over the top and there were two manufacturers we could use. I asked, which one do you prefer the GSA Contracts are set so it isn't a bidding thing. He said he didn't care but he would have a list of items needed and that we should submit the list to both companies, as the discounts were set the list price differ. I thanked him and asked if was free for lunch. He laughed and said you blew up my entire day but thanks.
The maintenance guys (4 of them) came in and I explained what happened. I assured them that their jobs were safe but that things needed to improve around here. I thanked them for the effort and they quietly went back to work. Just then the office phone rang and it was Brian. He said hey kid and I hung up. I went outside and said, Ruth when Brian calls back, please tell him that I'm in a meeting and can't talk. I'll get back to him. Kyle finally left and I spent the rest of the day talking with the Major, Tim, the construction manager and the architects and asked, Jodi and Jordan to stop by tomorrow as I would be in the office. Brian called twice and Ruth said I was in meeting. Finally he came and knocked on my office door. I said hi Brian, do you need something? He said, I'm thinking I need to apologize for the kid comment? I smiled and said, I fired Mr. Director today, he laughed and said that his name was Paul Grant and that he should have been fired years ago. I said Brian, just so you know while this place is run down, it will be clean, I'm not moving into a new building and not have it clean. Please have someone make a recommendation about that. Then I said, I'm working on something, thanks for stopping by.
As I had a pretty full day and it was 4:00 I thanked Ruth for the help today and started for home. On the way home dad called and said, Mike how was your day? I said, I fired a guy and drew a line in the sand for Brian. He said, Mike I heard but you are going to have to play nice with Brian. I said he needs to understand that he needs to play nice with me and stop treating me as a snot nosed kid. Oh, and I was nice today sending that message. I was actually busy all day. Then I called Jim and asked if he was free for dinner? He said sure and I said the Tavern or Eat n Park? He said anywhere but the Tavern. We met at Eat n Park and we both ordered the salad bar and iced tea and had a nice relaxing chat. I almost hugged him when he said he was good to stay over Friday. I told him I enjoyed going to the office and said I was taking advantage of things to go in again tomorrow. He laughed and said just don't miss so much school you are ineligible for football. We finished eating and he said, Mike I'm coming over right now we need some time together. I said fine, that's perfect.
We pulled into the driveway and dads car wasn't there and thought perfect. Inside we went right upstairs and I stripped to my boxer briefs lit a cigarette and Jim did the same. I looked at him and he was clubbed up and I went over pulled him to his feet, pulled down his boxers and hugged him. His half hard cock went to full mask immediately and I pushed him in a chair and knelt down and started sucking his cock. He stopped me saying what no bet? I grabbed his balls and went to town on his cock. He stopped me helped me to my feet and said get nude now? I thought shit this is exactly what I need after being in charge all day. He said lean over that fancy desk and he put some lube on and just rammed it balls deep. I turned my head and he kissed me saying you need this fucking you are about to get and he pulled out and just shoved it in again and and again. Then he started to slowly fuck me increasing the pace as he went along. I was panting and shot a load on the floor, got my ass slapped and with one hard thrust he unloaded in my ass. He let it get soft till it popped out and my ass was slapped and he said clean up that mess you made and use your tongue and he sat there watching. When I finished I went over to kiss him and got slapped. He said swallow and then clean my cock. Once I was finished sucking him clean he got dressed, lit a cigarette and sad, so you feeling better and we both laughed. I said, wingman payback is a bitch. We hugged and he left.
I showered and then in my boxer briefs sat at the desk and started to lay out everything I needed to get done. Damn it was a long list and very little free time. I had a day and a half to spend at the office, all day Thursday and half day Friday. I decided Friday morning would be spent on building furniture and ground breaking. So in the morning I would have Ruth set those meetings up. Thursday would be computers, Brian, organization structure. Then I thought where is dad in all this? I went down stairs, grabbed an iced tea and found dad in his office. I sat down and he said so Mike, what's on your mind? I said dad you are on my mind. Are you staying away from work because I'm there? He laughed and said, Mike I'm staying away from work for the same reason you are staying away from school. We are both bored, you at school and me at work. Dad, how can you be bored at work? Mike, I'm sales and marketing and I don't dare get one more project, we can't deal with all we have now. I said when will be HR and start hiring people? We have to staff NASA, dad laughed and said that's being done by an agency and you might need orange crates for them to work on, if you don't get a move on the furniture. I laughed and said, I'm meeting about that Friday morning. Then I said dad it's time Technologies pays for some of the services Enterprises are providing. He laughed and said, what services? I said facilities. I said I am an unpaid Chairman of the Board and doing all this. Besides I need income to pay Major Messer and me. He said, ok Mike I'll have Brian set up something and the legal guys can settle it. I said, great so we both agree to whatever they come up with. Dad said sure, that will work. With that I went upstairs and decided to meet with Tim tomorrow afternoon as we needed income for Enterprises and I had no idea.
I called Carrie and we talked about things and she said, Mike just because you are off tomorrow doesn't mean I am, so goodnight. I striped and are piled the covers on and was thinking decided, I needed to run tomorrow and that I had not worked out in days and that needed to stop. You are better than this. We hung up and I called Sam and asked if he was free to work out tomorrow around 6 at the gym and he excitedly said sure. Then I set the alarm for early and fell asleep.
