For Mrs Daniels it was a deer in the headlights kind of moment. She started to say something but I stopped her.

"Mrs Daniels,I don't know how it was in my fathers time,but from now on anyone,and I mean anyone who walks through that front door is to be the most important person in your life at that particular moment. I don't care if they're wearing cutoffs with a ripped t shirt and flip flops. Every customer who comes through that door is to be made to feel as if they are the only customer we have."

"Yes sir."

"Mr Bellows I presume?"

"Guilty as charged"

"May I have a few moments of your time?"

"Of course."

He lead Karl and I around the wall and into the main part of the building. There were several types of ticker boards rolling with numbers that I am sure meant something to the iniated,but at the moment, held little meaning for me. We went to an office at the back of the main room.

"Well Dennis have you come to take over the place?"

"No sir not yet at least. Come the fall I intend to go to State and take the certification program. What I would like to do in the meantime though is to work the company from the bottom starting the Monday after New Years,and summers while I am in school. Preferably without anyone knowing who I am if that is possible."

"Well other than Mrs Daniels,I don't see why that should be a problem. I know you and there are one or two others but I'm sure they will cooperate."

"Do I need to fill out any paperwork or do you already have everything you need?"

"I've got everything I'll need to get you setup with HR,I mean hell you own the company so you're already in the system."

"Then sir. I shall let you get back to work. Oh before I forget,the lawyers suggested I have an audit done. You should be recieving notice shortly if you haven't already."

"Sound business decision and the notice came this morning."

"Then good afternoon sir."

Karl and I found our own way out and I stopped at the desk.

"Mrs Daniels, I'm really not the tyrant I may have seemed to be. I just hate to see people judged on appearance alone."

"I believe I understand Mr Sawyer."

"One other thing. I'll be starting work the beginning of the year. Please,I am just some other kid trying to make a few bucks until it is otherwise stated."

She gave a little giggle.

"Mums the word."

Karl and I left the building and went back to the car.

"Den,I think you are going to be a real trader once you take over in there."

"I just hope I'm half as good at it as my dad apparently was."

We got back in my car and eventually made it back to the house.

"Am I staying the night lover?"

"Don't get mad Karl,but I think I want to work on something tonight. Just remember to bring your phone with you when we go jogging in the morning and meet me here instead of at the corner."

"What's going on in that scrambled brain of yours?"

"Those three guys the officers stopped us about,especially at Christmas time."

"I don't think I really want to know do I?"

"Probably not,but you will humor me anyway won't you?"

"Most likely. I'll call Aaron and tell him to meet us here."

"Make it a half hour earlier than usual."

"Damn these guys are really bugging you aren't they?"

"Yeah they are."

Karl and I kissed and he went through the backyard to his own house,and I went inside.

"Well then boyo what have you been up to besides no good?"

"Even less good Mrs Ohanlon. I'll be alone for dinner tonight."

"Oh? Trouble in paradise?"

"None of it. I just need to think and do some planning tonight. I probably will already be out when you get here in the morning."

"Not a problem,I've got me own keys afterall. Supper will be ready in about an hour."

"Thank you,I'll probably be in the office."

I went to the office and turned on the computer and it asked me for a password. I had no idea until a saw a small envelope tucked up against the side of the screen. It even had my name on it. I opened it to find the password that I needed and the advice that I should change it for my own protection.

Regardless I got access to the computer,and then I realized I had no practical experience with it. How was I going to do what I wanted? The search box seemed my first best hope of aid.

What I wanted to do was to find a map of my area and plot some jogging routes that would cover a lot of it. So I typed "mapping utilities" into the search box.

Several options presented themselves and I started looking at them. I finally chose one to work with and was about to open it when Mrs Ohanlon called me to supper.

I was about to just go and leave the machine running when those words"for your own protection" went through my mind. So I secured the machine,confident that I could get back into it after supper.

Supper tonight was spaghetti with sauce and meatballs. If I was any judge,the sauce and meatballs had both been prepared from scratch,which surprised me a bit considering Mrs Ohanlons rather thick brough.

"What you think I'm some kinda one trick pony? Wait until you try some of me spanish chicken boyo."

Soon enough I finished my dinner and was back into the office and had the computer fired up again. I went to work and found a map that I could zoom in on for fairly accurate street routes,I hoped. I worked out a sepreate map for each of us,which bascially gave each of us a section of streets to work our way through. We would be roughly seperated by 2 to 3 blocks. I printed out the maps,which was easier than I thought it was going to be.

At some point I must have acknowledged that Mrs Ohanlon was leaving becuase when I looked at the clock it was well after 10pm. I went around the house and made sure everything was secure,which seemed to be developing into a habit, and would soon be in bed reading.

Exactly at 11 my phone buzzed with a text message. "Sleep well lover" and several heart emojis. I sent back "You to lover" with several cupid emojis.

5AM rolled around sooner than I expected,but hell this had been my idea. I got up and dressed as quickly as possible and went down and unlocked the back door just as Karl was coming through the gate.

"I hope you know what you are doing lover."

"I hope he does too,this extra half hour is going to be a killer."

"Come on in guys. Here's what I have in mind."

I laid out the maps for them to look at.

"I see you gave yourself the shortest routing."

"Still building my stamina after all."

"I'll swallow that one ...for now."

"Karl is there anyway to make our phones stay linked?"

"Sure conference call. Let me start one."

A few seconds later my phone rang and I answered it.

"Now hold on while I bring Aaron into it."

Aaron's phone rang and then we were all linked up.

"Keep your eyes open and take a picture of any cars you find parked in the street. Karl tells me that is unusual around here. Look for the three guys together,or guys that are dressed for jogging but aren't. Try to look as though you aren't looking though."

"If I didn't know better Den I'd say you been watching to many 007 movies."

"What's a 007?"

Karl just shook his head.

"Let's get this show on the road before we have second thoughts."

We left the house after I made sure to lock that back door,and headed down the street to the point where we each went our seperate ways. I had my bluetooth in my ear so my phone stayed in my pocket.

I had completed about half of my route when I spotted a beat up van parked on one of the side streets.

"I'm altering my route a bit guys. There's a van parked on Simmons. I'm going to try and get a pic of it and the plates."

I pulled my phone out like I was getting a phone call. I got a pic of the van,and at that moment it roared towards me.
