Wednesday was a beautiful, weather day and I was not happy to miss the run but I had changed the meeting to 7:30 and I was up at 6:00 as I needed to load the car and get to wok and be awake and focused. I put coffee on and showered dressed, grabbed my bag threw it in the car and went in the house. I asked Cole to get my clubs from South Hills and said I would be at the airport by noon. Then dad appeared and asked if I had seen the paper? I asked, good or bad and he said an FBI press conference at 10:00 so I don't know. I said thanks and drove to the office.

At the office, I went right in closed the door and did a quick review of things and a little before 7:30 I went to the conference room and everyone was there. including Zaid, who had introduced himself, except for dad and I was content to wait. Dad was only a minute late and he sat down beside me. Before I could say a word Kyle said good morning everyone and he looked at dad and me and said, we have had two very productive days and while the company is in good shape we have a number of proposals that we feel will improve the company. Each of the proposed changes are in written format and will need your approval to enact. I was looking around the room and noticed that Zaid was not seared at the table but against the wall. I motioned for him to come over and when he came over I got up and gave him my seat and sat in a chair against the wall. The Major said ok Mike he gets a seat at the table but he chose that seat, so he needs to make better choices. I simply pulled another chair to the table and chairs were moved around so we were all seated at the table.

Kyle immediately continued and said while the financials are very solid we are not growing at an acceptable rate. We grow by adding projects and don't add anything to existing programs. Our government contracts provide steady income but we need to update the inventory, financial and word processing offerings and then aggressively market them with a commission based sales force. Then we would like to develop an e-commerce component. We need to get back to the tell us what you need and we will develop it, philosophy that was at the foundation of the company. We would like approval to recruit marketing talent and would like Mike Senior to be part of that process. Dad said well with the understanding that this is development and management on a regional level, to start and I am not traveling overnight, well very often. Kyle said understood and I said both the e-commerce and Marketing proposals are approved.

Kyle said we have reviewed the video division and it involves 7 employees and we are proposing reassigning 2 employees to the inventory project and I said what else? Dillon said well, we would like to sell that division. The other employees will at the time of the sale determine if they stay here or move to the new ownership. I looked at dad and he shrugged and I said approved.

The next request was for a 3% company wide raise and I said 2% now 2% start of the new fiscal year and 5% for administrative staff effective August 1, 1991. I asked for thoughts and as there was none I said approved as revised.

The next items, which were 6, revolved around the move to the new building and as I really didn't care I said approved as dad was less interested than me, so all was good.

Then Kyle moved to the existing building as the suggestion was to list it for sale and the timing was January and that a Real Estate company be hire to market the building. I asked that the terms include not rushing us we out of the current location and that competitive proposals be reviewed the legal department and that a recommendation be made to this committee. Dad said great idea and I simply let that stand. Thinking I better alert Alex so he can quietly get started.

Things were going well and in fact too well when Kyle said we would like to take the top floor of the second building as we are in dire need of that space for growth. I listened to the arguments both for and against. I asked what would happen to Enterprises and was told well most of those people are dual employed and have a space in the larger building. Tim said he would be in the second building. I laughed and said well do I need to be looking for a new general council for Technologies. Dad sensing me getting angry and suggested that we hold this till next week and everyone has a chance to consider the options. I said well right now that's a firm NO. First of all Enterprises needs its own space and second, I have always envisioned Technology in one building. Then I said the only space that can be freed up in Mini me, is the first floor behind the proposed area for the restaurant. Dillon asked, well would that space work for Enterprises and Mike, isn't your office in the big building? I said ok, I get it that we all think we need more space and that the new building while much larger is a more comfortable work environment and that eats up space, and that won't be compromised, we can talk about it next week.

There was a knock on the door and Kyle got up and opened the door and a TV was rolled in and that was followed by coffee. I was amazed that we were at this for well over two hours and was wondering if the drama would continue or if it was simply a quiet end to all this. There were quiet conversation going on and someone turned on the TV and we all just sat there waiting. When the BREAKING NEWS screen appeared there was silence as everyone was glued to the television. At the podium was the US Attorney for Western PA. He said that for the past two weeks agents from the FBI have been investigating an attempted hack of the DOJ. It was determined that a Jamier Bazoum was responsible for this attempt. He is a US National whose parents immigrated from Afghanistan. He attended a highly regarded technical institute in upstate New York. He was employed at MJS Technologies, here in Pittsburgh. The attempted hack was from a home computer with access to the MJS system. This resulted in the arrest of Mr. Bazoum last week at the companies offices. There was a complete review of MJS Technology and the cooperation was outstanding. There was a review of their government contracts, policies and procedures. The 60 or so employees employed for the various government programs run by MJS had a review of their Security Clearances. Charges have been filed against Mr. Bazoum and MJS has been the unfortunate victim or a rogue employee. Patty immediately asked, it has been reported in a number of media outlets that there was also an investigation into JMS Enterprises and the relationship with Technologies. He smiled and said this office is unaware of any such investigation and I see no reason for such an inquiry. However, understand this office and the FBI reserves the right to investigate any corporation holding government contracts. I looked at dad and said well that as much of an apology as we will get and he smiled and said, it's good enough.

I looked at Kyle and asked, is there anything else? He said nope and asked what dad and I thought. Did simply said thanks and that he would start on the Marketing project next week. I asked if anyone had anything to add and everyone was quiet. I told them how much I appreciated the organization of the various proposals and realized that they were the result of many hours of discussion. Then I laid out my schedule for this week and said I would be in and available every day the following week. Lastly, I asked Riley to work closely with Zaid and get him up to speed. I looked at Zaid and said, simply trust her. Then I thank everyone and went to my office.

I wasn't there alone long when Kyle came in and simply sat down. He said so you good with everything? I know it wasn't anything dramatic as the company is in good shape and that was fine tuning but most importantly team building. I said well Kyle, I'm good with everything and I hope you realize the small changes I made were to make you guys look better and that I support you guys totally. As for the two building approach consider that approved. However there are a lot of options, like a doubling the size of the building. All I would have to do is buy the land beside the building. Hell, we already have the plans just an adjustment to attach the buildings. Kyle, I just need time to figure this out and it might involve Technology buying the other building to get that done, hell the reserve is very healthy. I just need some time to think it through and time is short for all this. How about you, Jorden and I meet sometime Monday? Kyle said that he would set it up and it will appear on my calendar. I said thanks. As he was leaving I said Kyle, get Zaid, up to speed quickly. He could be really good and I told him the Phoenix story. Kyle laughed and said have a great few days away.

I sent Dillon a message telling him he had two seat Friday and it was wheels up at noon. Then I checked with Cole to make sure he picked up my clubs and he said that he was doing that now and had checked for clothes and assumed I had that covered. He had checked with Liam and he was on his way to the airport. I told him I had just finished and would be leaving soon. I closed up the office said goodbye to dad and drove to the airport. Cole and Liam were there and it was a very short wait for AP. It wasn't long at all and the clubs and bags were quickly loaded and we were in the air in record time. Liam, Cole and I were seated in the back.

Cole and Liam were talking and I was just thinking about the past few days. The day was good, very good and the team had done well and the company had been analyzed over and over and with minor changes would be very good. What was sitting in an open box in my head was mom. I thought well she didn't hate me she simply didn't give a fuck and treated me like a pain in the ass. Like a nat to be swatted away. Then there was dad, always being there for me and all the games and the car and now all this. I don't know how long I considered all that and was no closer to understanding how I felt about it. All I knew was that She was a bitch, a drunk and my mom.

I was brought back from reality when a guy I didn't know came back from the cockpit and sat down he introduced him self as Jack Mans and AP's copilot. He said I understand you have a pilots license. I said yes and I am multi engine certified. He asked what plane I flew and how many hours I had in the air and when I told him that Major Jim Messer was my instructor he seemed impressed. I was told that the Jet was a Cessna Citation V and very new and very fast but the speed resulted is less range. Mike, he is a very safe pilot and yet he is adventurous. The reason for all this is I wanted to be reasonably share you knew what you were doing as he would like you upfront for a while. I almost ran to the cockpit immediately sat down strapped in, put the head phones and said thanks. He asked me a lot of questions about flying and it was almost a check ride. Then he asked what I liked about flying and I said well it get me where I need or want to be quicker but I love long solo flights or rides with my best bed who also flies. Besides it will be up and back from school, next year, in lees time than it would take to drive one way. He looked at me and said don't stop with the private time in the sky.

I was really relaxed and I was asked how familiar I was with IFR (instrument flight rules) and i replied, somewhat as I have a bunch of hours in a simulator, why? He gave me that rye smile and said well while you are flying, I guess I will deal with the communications. Look Mike, I assume there is a plan to upgrade to jets and IFR but I feel that you can deal with flying and there is a course change coming up and if need be I'll walk you through that. So either you take control or I'm turning George (auto pilot) on. I leaned back checked the gauges and said I'm ready and fuck I was flying a jet. I was surprised that we were at 29,000 feet and the ground speed was 390 mph. The course correction was due and I was simply given a compass heading and I said Rodger. It was a standard maneuver and I discovered with the speed it required a lighter touch. It was slower than needed to be but easily accomplished. We were about an hour outside our destination when the copilot appeared and I gave up my seat.

Back in the cabin, I thought how great that was but damn this must be an expensive ride. I was wondering how much it would cost to fly a couple of hundred miles a year and if I actually needed a jet, right now. I would have to talk to the Major about that and a possible lease. In actuality, I couldn't see a jet parked at the airfield near VT just waiting for my need to get home, the twin engine thing would be a bit much as it is. A "Freshman" football player with a plane, I simply laughed at that. When we landed I found the entire scene hysterical as a a van was waiting and two guys unloaded the plane and we climbed into a limo. Cole and Liam were anxious to get to the course and they were told to relax as they had a 4:00 tee time. All I wanted was a beer and a hot shower. As it turned out all I could manage was the hot shower. Cole and Liam immediately went to the range and then to the course.

I simply went to my room and took that long hot shower I was craving. Once I was dried off I put on baggy shorts and sat on the loveseat. I called Mary Ann and she was all excited as her rents said the trip was good. She said we owe the twins big time as TJ said to mom that she might as well just give in, because if they wanted to have sex there are more than enough opportunities and places to get that done. I just laughed and thought fuck, those two just won my ass. I told her that I was getting out of one plane and that JJ, Terri, Dillon, Kathy and Cole would be with us. Then I reminded her this was work and we would be home late Sunday. Dress would be jeans and fun clothes. Well, she thrilled with all that and I was actually thinking this would be fun.

My next call was to JJ and he was thrilled about the news. I reminded him that the plane was full with six passengers and he would need to be copilot and not to fuck around. He laughed and said I can wait till Friday night to fuck around. I laughed at that and told him he was a jerk. I asked about his rents and he said his dad was good but his mom was looking for a chastity devise to lock up my cock. She said she had enough of that in Texas. JJ we are going to have to be discrete and I intend to fuck around as well. JJ said well we get a room and the girls get a room, well in theory. I laughed and said dude, I wouldn't want to be in your shoes. I'm no expert on moms but I would bet on your mom. MJ, it will be what it becomes.

It was only 7:00 and I was hungry, so I thought I would put on a pair of jeans and a VT shirt and find something to eat. I had just closed the door when my room phone rang. I hurried back in and when I answered it was AP saying he was sorry but there were a number of issues he needed to attend to. He asked me to meat him in the men's grill and dress was very casual. I said thanks and headed for the grill. When I got there AP and Fred Couples were sitting at a table and I looked around saw David Cummings with a couple of guys at another table. I thought well here we go. I sat down and the waiter came over and AP said he is having what I'm having and I thought damn an Arnold Palmer. We were talking and when the drink came it was more than lemonade and tea and I loved it, but would go slow. Then Fred asked Mike, do you know that guy over there as you keep looking over there? I told them about the Winery and they were amazed. Then I told them about Cole and the tickets and how Cole finally realized that it was a bad idea and asked that no more tickets be sold. When I told them that David was a DC attorney and ran a big firm.

AP motioned the waiter over and said something I didn't hear as Cole and Liam came in and shook hands then sat down. While this was going on I noticed the waiter talking with David. David started over and by the time he got there a chair was added. David was asked to visit for a few minutes with AP saying I here you know these guys? David said well I have a business arrangement with Mike and Cole and I have a ticket thing for the tournament next week. Fred said well Cole is a project of ours and currently he doesn't need to buy fans. Then AP said and we are working with the PGA because that dude over there managed something that has only been done once before and that was a very long time ago and by a guy much older. It will be years before he needs an agent and there are a couple of outstanding ones, local to him. Then David was told thanks for the visit and enjoy all the golfers tomorrow. Left with no choice David said it was nice meeting you and went back to his table.

Cole and Liam's drinks arrived and I laughed at the reaction to the hopped up drink. Then Fred looked at Cole and said dude trust Mike and the two of us. Cole just nodded and Liam smiled and I was think Liam just won a bet. With all that out of the way dinner became fun and relaxing. The entire event seemed to relax Cole. I hadn't said a word but was willing to bet there would be pushback. As tomorrow was a full day and there twenty groups each containing a professional and donors who had paid to play and there were tee time and not a shotgun start. There would be an awards ceremony and a dinner outside that required casual attire. With all that clarified we each headed in various directions. All I knew was that I was going to my room and do some school reading, it had been a long day and I was tired.

Back in my room I stripped to my boxer briefs grabbed my current book and sat in the loveseat and started to read. I don't think I was 15 pages into it when there was a knock on the door. I got up opened the door to find 2 smiling faces. All of a sudden I was on the bed with Cole sitting on my chest, to keep me in place then Liam jumped on me and Cole got off and I realized Liam was nude and hard as a fucking rock. Quickly Cole was back on my chest and he smiled and said open and his cock was at my lips. I opened and in went his cock and now he was on all 4s and he was fucking my face. While this was going on Liam was sucking my cock and fingering my hole. I knew this wouldn't take long as I was fucking honey. When Liam shoved his finger in my ass I lost it and shot a load. Cole wasn't far behind and my mouth was filled with cum. Once Cole was off me I sat up and Liam gave me a kiss and it was hot as hell and he said thanks. I laughed and grabbed him threw him on the bed and started to suck is cock and he was leaking even before I started. I put some pre-cum on my finger and while working his cock with my mouth I was fingering him and when I got the second finger in his hole he exploded in my mouth. I didn't swallow and kissed him and we shared his load and damn he didn't want to stop kissing. Finally Cole just said good night and went to his room. At that point I decided that enough was enough and sent Liam on his way and said, spend the night with Cole. Liam laughed and said that's the plan, good night.

I was up early and managed a run and it felt good to get some exercise. I changed into my golf attire and went to the restaurant and was reading the paper, drinking coffee and waiting for my food when David sat down. I smiled and said would you like a seat. He was not in the mood for games and he said, why did you arrange to have me humiliated last night? I was already pissed about him just sitting down and replied, well I didn't do that you did that all on your own by messing with Cole. Did you really expect to be his agent or are you one of those pathetic adults that need to suck up to athletes? Before he could answer my food came and I said, never mind I really don't care about the answer, so if you don't mind please leave me eat my breakfast, I hate cold eggs. He stormed away and I was thinking this isn't over.

Cole and Liam joined be and damn the two of them must have ordered the entire menu. I asked if they got any sleep last night and the both laughed and said yes as I was the main event. I just shook my head and asked the waiter for another cup of coffee. Cole asked, so MJ did you have a chat with David, we saw him in the lobby and he was very mad about something? I said yes and it was about last night and I was not any kinder. I looked at Cole and asked besides the tickets, is there anything else I should know? Cole said, nope but he tried to buy me clubs and I just laughed and told him mine are custom and I have all I need. Mike, Liam and I both know the rules so relax and enjoy the show. I'm planning a very fun day and about 3 under. I laughed at that and asked, what no course record? MJ, it will be Bay Hill medium today so just have fun.

I left Cole and Liam and went exploring and sure enough I found a small gym and went in to look around. There weren't enough weights to workout so I continued to explore. This was a very nice upscale resort and it would be great to spend a long weekend here. Yeh really was tennis, golf, swimming, fishing and a spa. I actually, briefly, considered a massage never having had one but decided another time. I went to my room grabbed my book stopped for coffee and went to the pool and sat reading. I laughed when a duck landed in the pool and it made me think of VT and the duck pond. Carrie and had had a few special moments there. My next thought was how the fuck did she just pop into my head and why the duck pond? I actually laughed and was wondering if mom would make a guest appearance. Every time I am totally relaxed one of those two appear out of nowhere.

I put all that out of my mind and went to my room and tried to just chill as our tee time was around 1:30 and we would be on the course almost 5 hours. Then there would be the post event festivities. All in all it would 10:00 before the day would come to an end. About 12:30 I changed into golf clothes and went to the practice area. There was Cole and Liam and Cole dressed in a Latrobe Country Club outfit. He was playing with Liam and the spectators but no outfit. I just went to the putting green but stopped at the Pro Shop first and asked about my caddy. I was told he was a young kid who knew the course and is thrilled to have a bag of someone your age. I thought that was perfect and I was handed a course book. I said thanks and asked if my bags could be taken to the practice green. That took no time at all and Josh arrived with my bad. He couldn't believe how lucky he was to be having a loop with this group. I told him to just have fun and that him and I would have a fun day. I told him about Cole and damn he knew all about what he had done and how he does it. I saw AP and Fred on the green and went over to join them. I was immediately asked Mike, where is Cole? I said the last time I saw him he was at the practice range and I went back to hitting a few putts.

Just then I saw Liam and just laughed and he has purple and whit plus 4s, purple socks and a white Oakmont shirt and tennis shoes. A few seconds behind him was Cole in matching +4s and socks his shirt brilliant purple and he wore a tam o' shanter hat and his shoes were white with purple accents. Cole as he stepped on the putting green took off his hat and in a sweeping gesture bowed to the spectators. Then is was all business and he and Liam worked through his putting routine. Once the group in front of us was off the tee we were escorted to the first tee. We all shook hands and waited for the group in front of us to clear.
