This is the last chapter for a while.

I am going to take a break for December and January and perhaps longer to
recharge the batteries and write some new chapters. Have a great Christmas
season and for those of us in the north of the northern hemisphere, enjoy
the winter.

Previously

"Don't you remember? At this place, you learned who Grandpa Jamie was and
then we sat on the fallen tree and I told you about Anna. You looked so
defeated when I mentioned Anna. Then if I remember, I decided to speak with
action not words and I kissed you (Unexpected Robert 4)."

Robert smiled at Lucas. "As I said, we have been entertaining for almost
two weeks. I need to tell you something with actions again. If I remember
correctly, we raced back to the chalet. We were sweating and hot and
decided to have a shower. We said a lot to each other in that shower and
after."

Lucas remembered. He turned and yelled `last one to the chalet is on wash
up detail'. They ran as they did that Thanksgiving almost five years ago
and it ended again in a dead heat. With smiles on their faces, they walked
to the chalet with arms around each other and went directly to the
bathroom. They undressed each other looking at the other. They were bigger
with more muscle mass now but still without a gram of fat. They fondled
each others wonderful butt as they had years before. They cleaned each
other thoroughly and went to their bedroom. As they did five years before,
they eventually took each other in their mouths and unlike five years
previously, they finished only seconds apart and they kissed the other,
tasting the others essence.

There were no words necessary. The memories and actions did speak more than
words. They held each savouring this time together and all that they had
`said'.

Present

Timothy smiled at the guys when they emerged from the family cabin and came
in to the porch. "You needed that run and the rest. We had a great time
with your staff. You really do have an excellent group. From what you said,
after Charles Hunter suggested a shy but excellent computer technology
student, Edward is not what you expected."

"We have made some really excellent hires. Edward was the surprise. I
emailed Charles Hunter yesterday and told him how great his suggestion was
to hire Edward."

"It was a surprise to meet Geoffrey here with Edward. He is one of our
best, new, young lawyers. They are totally smitten with each other. They
remind me of Dad and myself and you and Lucas when we all first met. It was
wonderful and luckily, I think that I can speak for all of us, it still
is." He walked over and put his arm over his son's shoulder. "I suspect
everyone one will be hungry after all the physical effort this afternoon."
For the first time, he looked at Robert with a very knowing smile.

"Yes, I am ... very hungry." Robert laughed and so did his Papa.

It was the staff's last supper of the week at the chalet. Everyone pitched
in and they had a feast from the BBQ and from all the left overs. There was
probably a little too much beer and wine consumed by everyone but no one
was driving that night so that was okay. They decided to go to the beach
and have a fire and roast marshmallows. They had a large fire going and
there was talk all around the fire with partners snuggling up to each
other. Robert realized what a good decision he had made to have the staff
up to the chalet.

After an early lunch and many thanks to both Robert and Lucas, everyone had
left by 12:30 the next day. The guys and the dads cleaned up and left for
home. They both had a lot to do that day as the next day, all of them had
even more to do at work.

The next morning, after a quick kiss in the elevator, Robert headed in to
his office. He hoped to have at least thirty minutes before Mark's
arrival. Sure enough, Mark arrived about thirty five minutes later.

Mark stuck his head in the door. "Boss, that was a great idea; thanks so
much for last week. I did talk to the staff about how they would like the
new offices to be."

"That is the first thing on the agenda. After that, I want to talk about
the growth of the company. Let's have that discussion over lunch today. I
would like to be able talk with no one else hearing us. As you might guess,
I have some ideas and I want you to listen and be honest."

They were seated at the pub and they had ordered. Robert decided to let
Mark talk first. "Mark, what did the staff say to you about how they wanted
the new office organized?"

"I was surprised but with some variations, they all said much the same
thing. They want a conference room that is private once you close the door,
not like our present on. My session with Liz, my very ex girlfriend, was
mentioned by several staff members (Unexpected Robert and Lucas 4)."

"Yes that was an interesting meeting." They both laughed at his
understatement.

 "If you are going to appoint heads of sections, they would like them to
have private offices. The rest of the staff would have cubicles that are
fairly high so that they can't see other people. If possible, they would
like a small staff room. That is not a necessity but it would be a place to
get away from work, relax and talk to friends on staff. I think that
summarizes it fairly."

"I can't believe that we are all thinking much the same. There may not be
many offices like that in the building or they may be out of our price
range. I am going to phone my contact and set up a meeting later this
week. I don't want to wait any longer."

Robert continued. "The next item for me is the tough one. That is why I
wanted to discuss it over lunch today. I don't want to be overheard by the
staff. Lucas and I have shared some ideas but we have made no decisions. He
told me that it was basically in my hands. Whatever you and I decide, I'll
discuss it with him. As you have said before, he has a good perspective on
matters like this."

"Understood. Could we make this an extended lunch? I think I know what you
want to talk about, staff."

"As usual, we are on the same page. I realized over the last week that it
is perhaps the most import moment for a small staff."

"You are right. OK Boss, let me know your thoughts."

"I would like a definite section for Forensic+ and ForensicPlus. I want
Edward to head that section with Helene as the assistant head but I want
you involved to oversee it. I want another programmer who will work with
them but who is able to work in a couple of areas in the firm."

"I have watched Edward grow in the office. I watched Geoffrey and him at
the chalet. He is no shrinking violet. He has taken a leadership role. I am
sure that you noticed that it was he who started the clapping when we first
saw Phoebe's new, company web site." Marked nodded yes.

"I would like a section that deals with web sites and data bases for our
companies. I want Phoebe as the head.  She has shown her initiative so many
times in preparing for interviews with prospective firms. I want to hire
someone to work under her who has a very good background in databases first
and a good knowledge of web site creation."

"Finally, I want a section that will deal with contacting firms about our
services and then installing and maintaining their computers. You will head
it and I want to hire someone who has the ability and knowledge base for
this part of our business. As the firm grows, we may need more hires for
this section."

"One last thing, I am going to take the title of CEO and you would have the
title of assistant CEO. Lucas and I have talked this through and he only
wants to be mentioned as a consultant who is the Head of the Forensic
Division of The Accountants. That was his suggestion and
Mr. Marchese-Milner has given permission for that."

"Boss, as usual, you have really put together a very good organization for
our firm. Let me put out the hiring notices as I have found quite a few
good sites. You might want to contact your people at the university."

They had an appointment with the Manager of the building on Friday that
week to look at and talk about new office space in the building. Robert and
Mark turned up exactly on time, no surprise there. The first office was
just appropriate. The second would almost be possible. The manager listened
to their evaluation of each office. He took them to an office that was
being vacated at the end of August. It turned out to be exactly what they
wanted. It had a small room at the front door and then two larger rooms
that had separate offices and open spaces for cubicles in both rooms. There
was a third, small room which could easily be made into office space and a
small staff room. Both Mark and Robert agreed that they could expand their
business for a number of years without having to move. They were able to
have special pricing since they had been in their office for more than six
months and the manager was aware of the connection with the The
Accountants, a long standing business in the building.

Robert called Lucas to come up and he was impressed. Robert arranged to
meet Lucas in The Accountants around 5:45 and he and Mark went back to
their office. They had told the manager that they would take the office if
the price that he had mentioned was definite. The manager said that he
would have to talk to the owners but he was fairly certain that it would be
accepted.

As Robert and Mark walked out of the elevator, they heard a series of loud
shouts from what sounded like their office area. Robert entered the half
open door. There was a guy leaning over the desk of the receptionist. "I
want to see Mark. I know that he works here. I demand to see him."

Robert heard behind him. "Oh fuck, I know the voice. It is Sean who works
at Liz's office. Shit. Why today? It has been weeks since Liz and I broke
up."

Robert knew in an instant what he had to do. He was the boss. He had to
take control. Robert turned to Mark. "I want you to go to The Accountants
and stay there until I call you up." He could see that Mark was not pleased
with that order. "OK, you stay out here and do not come in until I call
you. I mean it and I will not accept any other action from you."

Robert had never talked to him like this. So Robert got a grudging `yes
Boss' from Mark. Robert then stepped in to the office. Sean was leaning
over the receptionist's desk trying to intimidate her.  Robert knew what he
had to do. "Stand back from that desk." He thought to himself, establish
his credentials and his position. "This is my office and we do not act like
this. Stand back!" He took a deep breath which made him look bigger.  Sean
stood back and looked at him. His eyes were bloodshot and he was moving
oddly. Robert could smell alcohol in the office. Robert realized
immediately how charged and difficult this situation could become.

Robert looked at Elise, his receptionist. "I want Lucas, here, now!" She
dialed the number. As she started to talk to Lucas, Robert looked at
Sean. "Sean, in my office now."

"Why the fuck would I do that? I just want to deal with that bastard Mark."

"You have two choices. I phone the police and have you taken away or you
come in to my office and we talk this through. Mark will not be involved in
this until I say so."

"Who the fuck are you? You look like junior staff."

"I am CEO of this firm. I own it and run it ... my way and my way is my
office or the police!" He pointed to his office.

By this time, he could see heads looking out of the door from the other
office area. Robert looked at them and just held up his hand that said
stop. He could see that they were prepared to intervene and help him. He
shook his head, no.

Robert made Sean go ahead of him in to his office. Robert went around his
desk. He looked at Sean. "Sit and then we talk."

"What if I don't want to sit?"

"My office, my company, my way." In a less angry voice. "Sean, you are
making a mistake here. My advice is to sit and talk this through."

As he sat down reluctantly, Sean started talking. "There isn't a lot to
talk about. He just dumped Liz with no explanation or consideration. She is
really upset."

Robert breathed in and then let it out. "Sean, Mark's work became erratic
about a month and half ago. He had asked Liz out many times and she always
put him off. He had been with her about twice in that last month. He was so
upset that he wasn't sleeping. He told me that he was convinced that she
was sleeping with you. We happened to go out for supper on a Friday and you
and she were at the pub. You had your arm over her shoulder. After, when we
finished our meal and we were leaving, you and Liz were dancing very close
with your hand on her ass pulling her in to your body. At the end of the
dance, she reached up and kissed you ...."

Lucas was at the door to his office. He had a smirk on his face. Lucas with
determination, "And it certainly wasn't a little kiss between friends. It
was a lover's kiss."

Sean turned quickly. "Who the fuck are you?"

Lucas pointed at Robert and with a menacing voice, "I am his fucking
partner in this firm."

Robert wanted to laugh loudly, Lucas had been at the door longer than he
had realized. "Ah Mr. Stephenson, such a master of the English language,
almost like Sean."

Robert spoke, looking directly at Sean, "Yes, we all saw it and it was not
just a friendly kiss. I was here the day that Liz returned Mark's electric
razor with your shavings in it. If they were not yours, then she was with
someone else besides you. My entire staff heard Liz say that you were
married and didn't want to leave your wife. Mark simply said that he would
never be the second best in a relationship and that he had met someone that
night when we saw the kiss. He also told her that she had broken their
relationship by her actions with you. Sean, you are in a very bad spot
here. My entire staff heard Mark's conversation with Liz. I can tell you
that Mark has found someone whom we all admire. You are the one who broke
up the relationship when you slept with her."

Sean put his head down in his hands. "We only did it a few times. I had to
set up elaborate reasons for not being at home. My wife has been depressed
since the birth of our second child and she just doesn't want any physical
intimacy."

"So you used Liz." Robert gave Sean a penetrating look. "Not a very great
comment on you."

Lucas motioned that he wanted to use Robert's computer. Robert gave him a
strange look. Lucas looked at him. "I want to check on something that he
said."

Sean looked defeated. "I really do like Liz but I can't abandon my wife; I
do love her. And then, there are my children."

Lucas cleared his throat. "Sean, come here and look at what I have found
online. You said something a few minutes ago. I put in a search for child
birth and depression. I think that you should read this."

Sean sat looking at the screen and reading for almost a minute. "Shit, she
needs to see a doctor. I had no idea."

Robert almost broke out laughing. It appeared that his guy, his male
partner, might have just solved the problem in a hetero marriage. Who would
have guessed. This might change the entire situation.

Robert looked at Sean. "Sean, I think that you know that neither we nor
Mark are the problem here. Liz may be unhappy and telling you a bit of a
story to try and get you back. Mark tried his damnedest to connect with
Liz. It almost cost him his position in my firm as he was so upset and
distracted by the situation and I was becoming annoyed with him. I think
that you need to have a real, honest talk with Liz and end any intimate
connection with her. I am going to ask Mark to come in and you two are
going to settle this and there will be no punch up. Got it."

"My thanks to you and Mr. Stephenson for how you have treated me. Yes, I
would like to sit down with Mark for a few minutes."

Robert was fairly certain that Mark had not stayed in the hallway. He knew
where to look. He went in to the other office of the firm. Sure enough
there were Phoebe and Mark holding hands and talking quietly."

Mark looked up. "Boss ...."

"It's OK Mark. I didn't even look in the hallway. I came directly here. I
knew where I would find you. Come on, I want the two of you to meet
Sean. We've had a good session with him. He would like to talk to you and I
think that you should introduce him to Phoebe."

"Boss ..."

"No, just do it. I shall always look after my staff; Lucas and I'll be at
the receptionist's desk. As I said to Sean, my business and I do it my
way. Come on. It is time that this stops."

Mark put his arm around Phoebe and they walked out behind Robert. Sean was
talking to Lucas. As they walked in, Sean turned towards the door. Mark
walked through the door still with his arm around Phoebe.

"Sean I would like you to meet Phoebe. We left the club after we saw you
and Liz kiss and went to another dance club. I asked this young lady to
dance with me. We have been together since then." He turned his head to
look at Phoebe. "One of the luckiest nights of my life." Their look at each
other said it all.

Phoebe looked at Sean. "Sean, I am glad that we have met. The Boss says
that you and Mark are going to talk to each other and work this out." She
turned and looked at Mark. "I'll see you at the Thai restaurant in about 20
minutes."

Robert and Lucas withdrew to the receptionist's desk and waited. The guys
talked for about 10 minutes and came out and shook hands.

Sean looked at Robert and Lucas. Then looking at directly at Robert, "Boss,
I guess I can call you that. Thanks for handling this the way you
did. Lucas, thanks for making the connection between birth and depression."
He turned and looked at Mark. "Mark turns out to be a decent, good guy."

Robert couldn't help himself. "You know that there is a real irony
here. Lucas may have figured out your wife's problem as a case of post
partem depression. The irony is that you were helped by Lucas ... my
husband." He smiled at Sean who looked surprised. "Yes, a gay man may have
helped solve a hetero man's wife's problem. Let us know how it turns out
for her and you."

"You guys are incredible. I would never have guessed your relationship." He
hesitated. "You know I said that you looked like junior staff. Mark thinks
that the two of you walk on water." He turned to Robert. "You do run your
business your way. Thanks, I would have made a total fool of myself."

"A suggestion. Next time you come in to my office, please don't let me
smell alcohol." He raised his eyebrows and smiled. "Best of luck."

The next weeks of August were a whirlwind of activity. They signed the
lease for the new office. They spent a lot of the time of the next weekend
in the office planing to be ready for the move to the new office. As Edward
had said. `they had the background now to set up a new office in a
hurry'. They had arranged to have the new offices painted in colours they
wanted with the new rugs; it was done by the owners of the building. They
posted jobs on several sites. Again they had a recommendations from Charles
Hunter.  Everyone seemed OK with the way that Robert had appointed people
as heads of sections. They surprised themselves. They had worked right up
to the Sunday morning of the Labour Day weekend. They made it to the chalet
on Sunday afternoon for supper. They breathed a sigh of relief as they had
made it for part of the Labour Day weekend.

They hired all the staff that they needed in the weeks after Labour
Day. They were going to move to the new office October 1st, the week before
Thanksgiving. In the weeks after Labour Day, there was even more pressure
on Robert and Lucas as they were scheduled for the conference in St. Louis
which started on the third Friday of September. Thomas and Liam had not
been able to make it up for the Labour Day weekend for which the guys were
now glad because of all the work they had done on that weekend. However,
both Liam and Thomas along with Ron Corbett would be in St. Louis for the
conference. The surprise was that Thomas, Liam and Ron would be at the
chalet for the Thanksgiving weekend. The guys wondered if they would
survive the month of September and early October. Robert tried his hardest
to do as much as possible himself as Lucas had his job as Head of the
forensic section at The Accountants. Robert had become very adept at
delegating tasks to Mark and increasingly to Edward as well.

On the Wednesday a week before they left for St. Louis, Robert was in his
office where he was revising the opening of his and Lucas' presentation,
yet again as Lucas would say, when he heard someone come in to the
reception asking the receptionist if he could meet with Robert
Malenfant. Again, as with Brett, he recognized the voice and bolted out of
his chair. When he stepped out of his office, Charles Hunter was heading
towards him.

"Charles, I can't tell how good it is to see you." The two ended up in a
massive hug. "I have so much to tell you and thank you for."

Charles smiled. "I am so glad to see that you still have that enthusiasm. I
hear that you are expanding."

"Why don't you I show you our offices here and then take you up to our new
offices that we move into on October 1st."

They walked into the second office. Heads turned to see who was coming
in. Well one head was busy talking to one of the new hires. Charles smiled
and winked at Robert. Charles walked over and put his hand on Edward's
shoulder. Edward, without looking up, "Boss, just give me a minute."

Charles with a smile. "What if I don't have a minute to spare?"

The head spun around and up. His eyes were wide open. "Professor Hunter,
what a surprise." With new found confidence, "You have come a long way to
be here in our offices. Surely you have a minute to spare." With that, he
stood straight and with a big smile, he shook hands with his professor. "It
really is good to see you. Could you let me finish with Steven and then I
would so much like to talk? Steven is the young man who you recommended."

"Robert is going to show me the new offices. Then I am going to come down
and we can talk. I have a lot of time for you."

As they went to elevator. "Robert, what have you done to Edward. I have
never seen this side of him. He actually joked with me. Amazing."

"As I said in my email last month, he has changed. Beside Mark, my second
in command, he is my best hire. He is now a section head. The young man,
who you recommended and who Edward was talking to, is one of his staff
members. Bet you never expected that." Charles just shrugged his shoulders.

They entered the new offices. As they looked around, Charles
commented. "You really are planning to expand. This is a wonderful space. I
like the colours of the walls and the rug is very rich in colour."

"Yes I am ordering new furniture for this entry area. I want to create a
sense of a tasteful, well run office. I want the staff to enjoy the office
and I want clients to feel that they are with a well run business."

"I think that you have succeeded. I congratulate myself. Several years ago,
Emile and I recognized two young men who would succeed. Lucas is head of
the forensic section and you are building a new company. It is lunch
time. Is there any possibility that we could go for a quick lunch with
Lucas and Edward?"

"Give me a second. I'll contact them."

"Lucas says that he would never miss lunch with you and Edward is delighted
to be asked."

They enjoyed the lunch and Charles really enjoyed the new Edward. It was
clear from what he said that Edward and Geoffrey were a couple and that
Edward was totally loving every minute he was with Geoffrey. Charles could
not say enough good things about Robert's new firm and their new
offices. He congratulated Lucas on his promotion. There were handshakes and
hugs when he left for his appointment at the university.

The week went by quickly and as it seemed to Robert, all too quickly they
were in St Louis. Robert had changed the beginning of their presentation,
yet again, as he knew that they might have a tough audience. They were some
very large American firms who might very well come out against them as a
Canadian company selling to American ones. He knew that he had to establish
that he was presenting a piece of software that was without equal. He had
asked and received a large number of evaluations and recommendations from
US firms who had purchased Forensic+ and all of them had given him
permission to use their evaluations in his presentation. So far, the firms
were very pleased with Forensic+ and were excited about the new features in
Forensic+ 1.1.

It was a great reunion when they met Thomas, Liam and Ron for supper on the
first night of the conference. Again the next day, he missed a lot of his
father's keynote address as he was going through all that he wanted to do
in his presentation in the afternoon of that day. Mark and Phoebe were
running the presentation graphics and Edward was going to take over the
selling of Forensic+ both after the presentation and at a small booth in
the main concourse of the conference.

As in Toronto, he and Lucas met in their room where they changed their
clothes and kissed goodbye as Lucas went off to another presentation. He
would join Robert after his session.

The meeting room was large and it did have a raised area where Robert and
Lucas could sit. Robert sent Edward to look for two stools for them to
use. Robert didn't like the ideas of using chairs.  He wanted to be up
higher and he wanted to able step off the stool and roam the stage looking
at his audience. Minutes later, a triumphant Edward came in with the
stools. He had never seen his boss perform like this; he wanted everything
perfect for Lucas and Robert. He left again and came back with a small
table and bottles of water and two glasses. Robert called Edward
over. "Thanks for thinking of the water. We'll need it for the
presentation. Right now I need a coffee with cream to get me going."

"Not a problem Boss. I'll be right back."

Robert spent a few more minutes looking at his notes. He looked up. "Ah,
Edward, I really need that coffee. Thanks."

The room was starting to fill up. As he took a large mouthful of his
coffee, he saw Lucas enter and stride towards him. God, he looked good. He
looked vibrant and filled with energy.

Lucas came up to him. Robert smiled. "You looked so good coming down the
steps to the platform. I would like to give you a great big, wet kiss but
...."

"As we have said many times, kisses can be put in the bank for later. Now,
stop worrying, you are going to do it as well or better than in Toronto."

Sitting on his stool, Robert looked at his watch. There were five minutes
left before the session was to start. He desperately wanted to touch and
hug his guy but instead, he gave him a thumbs up and turned to look at the
audience. He could see his parents, Lucas' father, Michael Burtchell and
then Thomas and Liam. Beside them was a beaming Ron Corbett who looked at
him and gave him two fists with thumbs up while he mouthed `go get them'.

He looked at his watch; it was time to perform. Robert scanned the
audience. It was full. This was his toughest group. He breathed in deeply
and realized that he had nothing to lose. There was nothing more that he
could do than to give a great presentation. So he stood up and walked with
purpose to the front of the stage.  He scanned the audience. In a clear,
firm voice, "My name is Robert Malenfant. I am one of the people who
developed this program, Forensic+, which I know is changing the way that
you will do forensic accounting."

Lucas stood up and moved beside Robert. "I am Lucas Stephenson. I am the
other person responsible for this program but I have to add that this
program was Robert's dream which he started to think about in our first
year at university. He wanted to change the way we did forensic work by
using computer technology. Without his drive and determination, this
program would never have happened."

Robert was almost struck dumb. This was not in the script. Frowning, he
turned and looked at Lucas.

Lucas smiled. He winked at Robert and then turned and scanned the
audience. With a smile, "My partner is lost for words; my comments were not
in his notes." He scanned the audience again. Then in a low, confidential
voice. "He doesn't appreciate it when I do things like this." There were
chuckles around the room.

Robert realized that Lucas had done a great job of getting the audience on
their side. Robert had cut out the bickering part of his introduction in
Toronto and what Lucas said was the perfect way to have the audience accept
them. He knew what he had to do.  "Mr. Stephenson, without you, this
program would not exist. You have provided so much information on how to do
a forensic audit and break a case into its bits. I would like you to
outline your background and your contributions." He was back on
track. Robert almost didn't care how the presentation went. Lucas had shown
him yet again how to treat a partner.

Robert sat down on his stool and Lucas stepped forward. "I knew that I
wanted to be a CPA like my father. However, during my first year at
university, I became fascinated by forensic accounting." Looking at Robert,
"Robert mentioned his idea of computers helping forensic accounting several
times in that first year at university. Neither he nor I did get a lot done
on his dream that first year. We won a spot on he university hockey team
and became co-captains of our university team. With that and our studies,
we were just too busy. However, I began to plan my courses around forensic
accounting in my second year at university. Luckily I worked at The
Accountants as my summer job and I was put in the forensic section. I
worked there every summer and when I graduated, I immediately started
working with Michael Burtchell to complete my CPA. Michael and I worked on
a number of forensic cases that year. After I received my CPA, I went back
to my home, The Accountants. I am now Head of the Forensic section of The
Accountant. I can tell you that Forensic+ has changed our methods and work
dramatically ... for the better."

Lucas stepped back and Robert took over. "I am not even certain when I came
up with this idea. I was glad that we didn't get much done that first
year. I realized very quickly that I had to fall back on Lucas' abilities
in forensic accounting. As a result, I concentrated on computer languages,
compilers and advanced programming. We were a team. It was in our third
year that we had a program that we were able to test out at the Accountants
during our summer jobs as we both worked at the Accountants. The program
worked. However, we worked even harder to refine the program and add to it
until we both graduated. It was then that I started my computer firm. We
presented Forensic+ in Toronto last May for the first time. I have to say
that we have had many positive reviews and comments. We have sent out
Forensic+ 1.1 several weeks ago to all our registered users. We have
already had many enthusiastic comments about 1.1. I have had many positive
evaluations that we shall mention during our presentation. Lucas and I want
to show you how Forensic+ works and why it will change how you will do
forensic cases differently and more productively."

On schedule, the first graphic appeared on the screen. Robert was certain
that he had the attention of the audience.

If you liked this story, you might want to read the others that I have
published on Nifty. In particular, my first story, Unexpected Change which
has had the most positive comments and one of my other favourites, What a
Difference a Year Makes. I have recently reread Introspection and it is
worth a read. Michael Burtchell's story is in Discoveries; its ending is a
