I made it a point to stop at the bank and get a fistful of cash,as it didn't sound like the building manager was going to be the type to take a check. Then it was to the local rental place and I got a small van just to be on the safe side.

Home to pick up Mrs Pershing and I followed her directions to their old apartment building. It probably wasn't the worst place but I knew it sure as hell wasn't the best.

Mrs Pershing and I walked in and headed for her apartment.

"And just where the hell do you think you're going?"

"We are going to clean out an apartment that is of no further use."

"Not until the back rent is paid you're not."

"And just how much is that?"

"6 weeks $1800."

"Mr Parker you know very well that I only owe you for 3 weeks rent. I've the reciepts to prove it if you want to push the issue as well as access to a very good lawyer."

He thought about it for a few seconds.

"Yeah ok 3 weeks $900 cash."

I had asked Mrs Pershing on the way over and had the $900 ready in a pocket and I handed it over to him.

"I want a reciept for that please."

"Yeah I'll mail it to you."

"You will give it to me now or the aforementioned lawyers will be all over this place,you, and whoever actually owns the property."

"All right. Geez when did kids get so fucking pushy?"

I had the reciept in hand before we had the first boxes filled. It didn't take very long as it was just clothing and a few keepsakes. Pete actually had more stuff than his mother.

A few hours had everything loaded and back to my house,where most of the things got stored in the garage until they could be sorted out.

I was walking into the house from returning the van and the phone would be ringing.

"I'll get it Mrs Ohanlon!"

I picked the phone up.

"Hello?"

"Den!! What the hell dude? You haven't answered my calls in 2 fucking days!"

"Oh shit Karl I'm sorry! I must have screwed up the phone when I put it in silent mode and forgot to put it back."

I then proceeded to explain what had been happening.

"Fucking hell! Pete's going to be alright isn't he?"

"Yeah they should be letting him out of the hospital on Friday."

"Well that's good at least. So you nailed the S.O.B that wanted his ass and now the guy is locked up himself. Don't think I'd want to be him in the showers."

"I hope he lasts long enough to make it to trial. I'd like to see the little worm squirm."

"Well as long as everything is all right lover I'll be letting you get back to what passes for your life. Love you."

"You take it easy. Love you too."

I spent the rest of the day reading. The books in dads library were crammed with both the practical information and some pretty heady stuff of theory.

Supper was had and Mrs Pershing would be back into her room. I was a bit concerned about her not taking free run of the house as I had told her she had.

"Think nothin of it boyo. She's in there working her way through those study materials Mr Holtz dropped off. She wants to be ready when she hits those classes in the morning."

"Yeah I understand that. Guess I'm going to have a bit of explaining to do tomorrow when I show up to work."

"Thought you were the boss?"

"Yeah but only a couple of people know that. I want to learn the company before I take it over."

"Good sense in that and if'n they know you be the boss things won't be done the regular way will they?

"That's what I'm afriad of yes."

"Well I'm sure you'll be working it out boyo. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Good night Mrs Ohanlon."

I went to the study and continued to read until about 10. I went around and made sure everything was locked for the night.

At 11 my phone would buzz with a text.

"We back on schedule love? Sleep well",followed by the usual emojis

"Hope so love, love you.",followed by my usual emojis.

Next morning I was up and ready to jog with Aaron. I was out the door and meant Aaron at his driveway.

"Hows Pete doing?"

"He's good should be out of the hospital on Friday."

"Wait......what?"

I had to explain the whole situation to Aaron as we headed for the park.

"Shit no wonder you weren't out here yesterday. Dana may well be right you should be going to the academy."

"Not going to happen. I own a comapny that needs running and I can't leave it in somebodyelses hands forever. 2 years to get qualified for the license and then getting the damn thing is what I'm giving myself."

We went down and did 3 laps around the track and then headed back. That brought me up to 2 miles. It would take a bit longer to get back to the 3 miles I had been doing before.

Back to the house a quick shower and breakfast and it was off to work.

I walked into the building and made my way back to the mail room.

"Geez dude what happened to you yesterday? Anderson has been fit to be tied or something."

"Had a friend who got beat up while in police custody,and had to get things straightened out for him."

At that point Mr Anderson walked into the mailroom and motioned me to follow him. We went into his office.

"Mr Sawyer..I"

"Stop, please. I know you were decieved Bob,but I still want to go through this with no special treatment. In fact without yelling and giving anything away I want you to look like you're giving me what for."

"I can do that,but what I was going to say was that I think you deciding to learn the place from the ground up was a good idea. You can't run a place if you don't kow how it works."

While his tone had been reasonable, his gestures and body language made it look like he was ripping me a new one.

"Now get your ass back to work kid."
