Powering up the radio and getting it tuned in took a couple of minutes. When everything was warmed up, I called Paul. “Mountain Man, calling Elk Cit..., come in Elk City. Talk to me, Paul.”Paul came back immediately, not a good sign. “Matt, finally. Where you been, boy? I’ve been trying to get you all morning.”“Sorry, Paul, I had chores and then lunch. What’s got your bustle in a bunch?”“Matt, we’ve got a serious problem going on. There’s a hiking group up in your area that has activated their. My mother came searching for me to bring back to house.i went back to house with my mother,in the hosue my father is very angry at seeing me andStarted quarrel with my mother why she brought me back.My mother pleaded my innocencey and asked my father to pardon me,then my sister is watching me helplessly.my father did not heed my mohters pleas and beat her with stick.then i get angry and i caught my fathers hand and pushed him back and dared him saying if u touch my mother i will thrash u and. We left it at that.The more I thought about Matt and Hank fucking Shirley the harder I got. One night Shirley had had two margaritas to many and was a little tipsy. I asked if she had ever thought about fucking another guy. Her face got the look when she was in deep thought. She finally said she had fantasized about it a couple of times, but she would never do anything like that.The Friday before the weekend I got a call from Bob saying that they would not be able to make it that weekend. I was. That bond was as strong as a blood bond, at least as far as Bob was concerned.His business, thanks to all those hours he'd put in studying, flourished. He had several really good people working for him. He won multiple government contracts, which was when the sharks started circling. But he knew about the sharks, and instead of waiting for his share of wealth to come from future profits, he sold the company to the sharks and took his profits then and there, banking more than three hundred.
