Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2019 11:54:09 +0000 (UTC) From: Mike Simmons Subject: It was always about the bets 31 (Revised) Dad came home about a half hour after Ray left, found me in my room working on calculus, said, hey bud you have a good day. You know damn well the day was awesome. Mike, I haven heard what did you say? Something like I'm interested but it is early in the process for me, please be patient. Academic visits in January sport visits in the Spring, answer before senior year. Thinking I just want to be a high school kid and have some fun. So Mike, who did you tell about the offer, I replied Carrie and Ray. So Ray is defiantly second team, I said yes dad in more and more ways every day and it is strange and it hurts, but I am blowing by him in so many ways, I'm actually sad about it. If only he would work harder. Mike, here is a bit of advice going forward don't make the same mistake I made with Adam, don't carry him because he is a friend and in Ray's case a relative. Dad said you free to come down and have a drink, big day tomorrow. Sure dad, I'll have a beer, thinking that will be about five, be careful. I opened the beer and asked so what time tomorrow and what's the dress? Dad replied 10:00 in 1 Oxford Center, as for dressing am in suite and tie, you should consider a Blazer and no tie, oh so now I am second team, he said yes you are and act the part. Leaving no doubt in my mind as to my role. So dad do I need to be there for all the meetings, he said yes. I have been talking with Brian and we will deal with the trust thing first and if it goes as planned then it will be active immediately. Here is how it will work so you are not blindsided. As far as the company is concerned I am in total control of the day to day operations. With something over 100k you, Brian and I vote and decide. As you can imagine I am at a disadvantage. Brian is your attorney and there will be a new in-house attorney, the reasons will be made clear to you tomorrow afternoon. Mike, would you like another beer or is the six back you had tonight enough, dad if I may I'll have another he said fine and bring the cigarettes. I just said fuck, sure thing. Then he added was the talk with Ray good, and I said shaking my head, in the short term. Oh and I get the comparison between Ray and Adam. I got my beer as dad was pouring a drink, I lit a cigarette and put the pack and the lighter on his desk and sat down. He looked at me and said Mike these don't go with your image, what's up. Dad it was a bet thing we did at 11, doesn't happen often, tonight was a serious conversation and I as hoping acting with Ray like we were 11 would help, it didn't. I'll go a very long time without another cigarette, I don't really like them but shit they are relaxing. I decided to switch things up on him and asked, so dad where are moms ashes? He said right here and he pointed to the bookcase, so now what, I asked. Well Mike I was waiting for you to ask. So I'm asking, now what? Mike I don't honestly care, once upon a time we loved each other, then she fell in love with wine and whiskey, I quit caring about her a while ago. What about you Mike? Dad we never ever got along, ever. However, she is my mother and on some level I don't understand that matters to me, her favorite place was the shore, I was thinking of taking them to the ocean and let the tide take them wherever the do. You want to come, he said no, you do it it sounds nice and special to you, just do it and tell me. Dad one last thing, will the Trust and the company involvement in the Trust be public? He replied yes. How public? Well the directors will know and at some point you will have to come in and visit, I ll be there and have your back. Do I have to be actively involved he said yes in matters over 100k and there will be a few of them, trust Brian, I do. You will see that is spades tomorrow. Anything I need to know? He said no be ready at 8:30 you and I are having breakfast, Lunch with Brian and then Dinner at the club, I said shit I better go upstairs and grow up over night. Dad I hate the club with you there, he replied Michael that is not optional. Yes, sir and good night I said. I stopped and said Dad will the kids at school know about this Trust and he said I don't think so but by lunch tomorrow you should be a very well off 16 year old. Oh, what do you want to do for your birthday next week, I said win a football game and we'll never mind, dad surprise me just so it does not involve dinner at the club. Good night. I was wide awake at 6:00 and went for a run, I was home by 6:45 and poured a juice sat there relaxing, with no sign of dad went upstairs to get ready. I went upstairs, open the closet pulled out my new blazer removed the tags and laid it on the desk. I decided on grey pants, cordovan loafers and the traditional light blue shirt. I also selected a gold chain I very rarely wear and a rubber wrist band supporting a bullying campaign. Went to the shower closed the door and turned the water on as hot as I could stand it and just stood there. The entire shower was steam filled and I just leaned against the shower wall and thought of how my life was going to change and figured dude it will be what it becomes, just go with the flow and don't blow thing up. I got dressed looked in the mirror thinking damn, no wonder you intimidated people. Then I actually combed my hair, looked in the mirror messed it up and said perfect. We left for breakfast and went to some place on the south side that I had never seen or heard about. I ordered an omelette with vegetables and cheese and coffee, dad ordered eggs, sausage, toast and coffee. Mike interesting breakfast choice, I replied making up for the beer and cigarettes from yesterday. We talked, football and the game this week and finally Penn State. He asked about the computer science program and I went chapter and verse on the program and reputation. He started to shake his head and said I should have know better than ask that question. He asked about the football team and I said linebacker U and I know on that level I am an outside backer. I need to grow another 2 or 3 inches and gain 20 pounds and not lose any speed in the process. Their two outside backers are both juniors so the timing might work, but I am aware of the competition and all that. Just then the door to the restaurant open and a guy walked in dad waved and said, Greg we will be right out. I was thinking what the fuck? We went outside and our ride was waiting, I said dad really and he said if you think I am fighting for a parking spot and getting out of the garage at the end of the day you are nuts. We got to the building, went in checked with security and went to the elevators and pushed the button for the 17th floor. The doors opened and as if my magic there was Brian and another guy who he introduced a Tim, we all shook hands and Brian looked at me shook my hand and said so junior how are things. I smiled and said not today I am Mike and dad is Michael and Brian burst out laughing. We went to a conference room and there was coffee and danishes. I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat down, dad went to coffee and an danish. We sat down and Brian thankful said, we have a lot to cover, pushed a button and a screen came down, push the button again and the words TRUST FOR MICHAEL JAMES SIMMONS appeared. Brian went over every detail for 2 hours answering questions. Then he said ok guys that's it, any issues, Mike? I said none. Then Brian said Michael any issues and dad said where do I sign. There were about 20 signatures required and dad signed everyone without looking. Dad is it wise to just sign without looking and Brian said, I review these with your dad last night. Now your turn and I will go as slowly as you need. This is a checking and saving account it is a joint account with you and your dad, I signed with out any hesitation. Then Mike if you remember we placed limits on your access to thing as it relates to your age and age progression, this is you agreeing that you have reviewed and understand the conditions, I as your legal representative will sign after you do and Tim will sign as a witness. With that Brian said, ok let's go to lunch and celebrate the only 16 year old millionaire in Allegheny county. Let's go I a have reservations at the Capital Grill, we went down stairs got in a waiting car and went the few blocks to the restaurant. I thought the fucking club was fancy, damn I'm bringing Carrie here, I thought. Dad and Brian talked about shit and I asked Tim where he went to school and he replied PennState and Duquesne law, I said damn Tim. He instantly replied, Mike I am not recruiting you, I work for you and you will be paying Brian and as a result you will be paying me. Tim I appreciate that, so tell me about you Tim, he said he is single with a very serious girlfriend, they live together in Upper St. Clair and working on getting married. Tim said Mike, this is unfair, as I know more about you than you might remember about your self. By the way Mike, just so you know you are the first junior they have offered and it is very early for any junior to be on their radar. We finished lunch and I saw the waiting car and said Brian if you don't mind Tim and I would like to walk, there be no stops and no delays. Brian looked at Tim and Tim just shrugged Brian shook his head and said no delays. I said Brian, I promise. Brian and dad got in the car and Tim said, Mike what the fuck was that? I smiled and said me exercising some control. He laughed and said damn. You are going to be a fun client. We chatted about thing in general and I found out he was new to the firm and Brian had hand picked him for this "project". Tim, I'll deal with Brian when we get back, but understand I am not the quiet respectful teen you see today. I like to control things and I am smart as a whip. Tim said, Mike I know all that and you need to understand I am your match in every way, well except athletically, so game on and I think you and I are going to grow and learn a lot together. Just play fair and this walk was not fair without a heads up. Tim I got it. We got back to the office went into the conference room and I said, Brian can you and I have a minute in the hall please. We got outside and I said please don't bust my balls about the walk it was my idea and Tim found about it the same time you did, that's all on me. He said Mike, I figured that, you ok? I said, I am but I like Tim so you choose wisely. So let's go inside and I'll try not to be bored out of my mind. He grabbed my shoulder spun me around and said you have no idea what you uncovered about Adam so pay attention, ask questions and fucking prove to me and your dad how you were smart enough to do all this. So far you are looking like a fucking genius. Get back inside we have work to do and you are wasting my time and your money. I thought shit now what but replied sure Brian. Brian sat pushed the buttons again the screen went down and bright blue letters appeared on the screen MJS Technologies. Then a slide and Brian said Mike did you sign this and dad said yes, then another, then another and another and it went of for like 15 minutes. Finally, Brian said Mike did you read any of these and to lighten the mood I said no, I did not. Brian snapped cut the crap, my dad answered I did not. I was told they were routine so I signed. Brian said Adam told you that and dad said correct. Mike what you did in those routine papers was enter into an agreement for supplies, computers, servers and software from three companies at no bid with three companies Adam also represents. Early indications are that you overpaid for that stuff by about 500k. Dad hung his head and I immediately woke up. Mike, we can undo this easily and I have prepared papers for junior and Tim to sign as his attorney. Here they are and Brian looked over and saw I was focused and went over each in detail on the overhead. Brian made a call and within minutes the actual documents appeared and Brian said Mike and Tim please execute those, I grabbed a pen and the first paper and started to read, Brian waited patiently I signed and gave the papers to Tim and said they are good please scan and sign. I did that with each page and actually caught a small mistake. Brian looked at it and said Mike that was a test and he produced the correct document which I again read. After that, we handed the papers to Brian he called the secretary in and said please have these sent by currier with a signature required to those companies. Dad looked shaken and asked Brian is there anything else? He replied Michael at this time there is not. However the audit starts tomorrow, with your approval I will meet with Adam and terminate his employment and that of his assistant. Mike, I had you sign the papers with Tim for a couple of reasons; First, I wanted to make a point with Adam and his cronies, you missed something in all that reading. I look at him and said what did I miss? Your title, what was it? I said I did not know, he replied President. Your dad is now CEO and Chairman of the board. Tim needed to sign as you are underage. Second, now that I am involved with the company and you will not want a person attorney and the company attorney to be the same person. Is Tim ok as your personal attorney? I simply said absolutely. Brian said Mike I am glad and I am looking froward to sparing with you two, I'm thinking it will be a challenge. Any questions? I said yes, how long does the audit require and Tim answered a few weeks. Ok one more thing, can I fire Adam, Brian said I would rather do that, Tim will be present, this will be ugly and I don't want you to experience that. I said ok but no severance package, Brian agreed. So we are done, I asked? Brian said for this week. I said so guys dad is dragging me to the Club for dinner would either of you care to join us? Brian declined saying wife obligations and Tim thankfully accepted. I said Tim we have a car to get us out of town do you ant to ride along and I'll get you back here, he replied deal. As we were leaving dad said Michael, you are one hell of a second team player. I said thanks dad, I love you, I'll behave and thanks for trusting me. We got to the club and got seated and Jack came over and said good evening Mr. Simmons and Mike. I said hi Jack this is Tim and I think you will be seeing a lot of him. So what you guys drinking, dad looked at Tim and he said Glenlevit rocks and I just started to laugh and dad said, Jack make that three and make them doubles. Now it was Tim's turn to shake his head, I just said look guys no business, let's just enjoy the night and Tim I expect you are on the clock as it were, he smiled and said thanks I can use the billable hours. The drinks came and we ordered dinner and chatted and had a great time. Dad had his usual interruptions and Tim and I got to know each other and it was a great night. Jack asked if we wanted another round dad and Tim said yes and I asked for an iced tea. We finished dinner dad said Mike I had you car delivered to the club knowing you were not staying as late as me, the keys are in the visor. We got to the car Tim said damn Mike this yours? I said yes why? He said it is a smoking car. As we drove we exchanged numbers. Tim said, Mike I thought I knew a lot about you but the real version in action is something else. By the end of the day you positioned yourself to be in control, I smiled and said actually Brian was in charge, want to bet on how many months it takes for me to turn that around, he said not going there but it will be interesting to watch, he is no pushover. Tim, I got this just depends on how long. As he was getting out of the car he said call anytime and if you don't remember the number call the office, I said sure Tim and repeated his personal number, he laughed and said good night. I was worried about dad and when I got home he was on the phone and heard him slam the phone down. Apparently Brian had called Adam. I sad dad a rough day? He said no Mike it was not I knew about all that yesterday, it was a lesson for you and damn you passed. I asked dad one question and I need a totally honest answer, he said shoot. Did Tim know about the test? He replied Mike, he did not. Brian became the company attorney yesterday afternoon, I authorized the hiring of his firm yesterday. Brian gave me two names for me to consider and this morning just before we got in the elevator, I had a phone call, yes I remember. Well Mike it was that call that I asked for Tim, Brian was shocked because he wanted the other guy, I picked Tim because in my heart I fell you are going to play the game to the hilt but you will select state and play football. Now get you ass in bed but call Carrie before she gets pissed at you again. I said good night dad and no more tests like that, please. I called Carrie and she said damn, you must have had a tough day, I said it was and your boyfriend is seriously rich. She said I knew that and I said you have no idea. How was school, the whole place was wondering where you were and if we were back together, I kept telling everyone I did not think it would be happening, guys kept flirting with me all day. Mike, I want to end this, I said ok at lunch tomorrow. By the way, we are going to Jeff's Friday right after the game and we are going to the basement. Before you act like Michael the jerk, you will not need a condom, we are having fun and it is the first part of your birthday gift. Now please shut up and say good night babe, I love you. I said good night babe, I love you. I hung up and said fuck how does that happen to me with her. Comments are encouraged as this is my first story.
