There Must Be A Mistake Ch. 25

"You can let my people go. Which one did you recognize first Delicious?"

"The man was one of my proctors during my testing. I don't know his name, but he was in the room when I wore my pink outfit."

"Did you recognize him before or after that question?"

"I recognized him before that question. The question could have been a teaser just to get me to think I recognized him."

"You are correct. I didn't want to use the pink outfit because that was too obvious. I wanted to use this to see if you remembered."

Shelby handed Delicious a piece of paper with 10 numbers scrawled on it. She laughed. "This was your father's personal phone number. He asked me to forget it, and I told him I couldn't. He would have to change it."

"That is exactly what you told them over the telephone. We have it on tape."

"It was the day my idiot father decided to try to get lost in the wilderness. I begged your father to try to find him for me."

"It must be fun to be in your household. Three playback machines and Grayson. Can he ever win?"

"He wins often enough Shelby, just not arguments."

"If everyone is happy now, I will call Mister Valentino and Mister Zabo, and tell them this was a drill, conducted by a friendly force to check our strengths and weaknesses. I will give them the results and my recommendations to fix our discrepancies."

Lucius said, "Dan maybe you should have breakfast first. William likes his hands the way they are."

"All of this happened because of your $50 million Lucius, so be careful with that mouth of yours today."

"What $50 million sir, I haven't made that transfer yet?"

Dan looked at Lucius, and Lucius held his ground. They stared at each other for a moment, until Dan took a step towards Lucius.

Lucius turned and ran down the hallway.

Dan yelled, "Get back here you little piece of shit."

As he turned, and went to see William Zabo, and Stephano Valentino, Dan swore, "That man is going to be the death of me."

The End

note: I apologize for the delay in Chapter 25's publication. This past month has been a very rough one for me, personally, and some decisions will have to be made that I am not thrilled about. As I informed you before the cancer is in my Spine and has limited my walking and less so, the use of my arms and hands. I will just keep chugging along as best I can, and hope the treatments work before any decisions have to be made. Thanks for your wonderful support and your kind messages. Bob/P_D10
