Chapter 23

At the headquarters of Pluto Moon Technologies, Boss slept in his office after a long night of having sexual intercourse with his wife. His secretary tried to alert him that Thomas Ridge was on his way, but Boss was sleeping the sleep of the dead and no 'beep' or 'buzz' would stir him from his slumber.

Tom knocked on the door and after a couple of seconds with no response, gently pushed the door open. "Are you in here, Boss?"

Waking up from his deep sleep, Boss said, "Who?... what, what?"

"I'm sorry. Did I wake you?"

Sitting up and wiping his eyes, Boss replied, "Yeah, but that's OK. Come on in."

"Your secretary said you were in your office and go right on in. You must have had a talk with her."

"Yeah, I didn't want her head delivered to my daughter in a gift basket."

"I'm so sorry about that, Boss. The Duke has little tact, but he means well."

"Won't you sit down?" asked Boss as he gestured toward a nearby leather chair.

"Thank you, sir," said Thomas as he sat down and straightened out the crease in his slacks. "Is everything going well with you and your family?"

"Just fine. We did have to cut Diamond loose, though. It was time. I'm sure he'll come back a better man, some day soon."

"I'm sure he'll do just fine. It's the rest of the world that I worry about.

Anyway, the Duke of Winterfield would like to know why you haven't spent any of the money that he put into your accounts? You did get it, correct?"

"Yes, please express my sincerest gratitude to the Duke. However, this is the United States of America. You can't move that kind of money around without attracting attention.

Hell, I've had a policeman tell me that he wouldn't buy a box of matches and a gas can at the same time in the same store. He was afraid something might burn down and the

system would spit out his receipt then he would be blamed for it. The level of surveillance in this police state is abominable.

So, no, I haven't touched a dime of the Duke's money because I don't want to be perp walked for the national nightly news."

Thomas crossed his legs and rocked his foot back and forth. He smiled a gentle smile and said, "It's totally my fault. I should have come to you earlier and explained how things work. You wouldn't believe how many problems have been dumped on my plate in the past few weeks.... But, then again, it’s not your problem.... So, why am I telling you about it?

Boss, you are a member of the New World Order. You are now above the law. Laws and regulations are used to keep the sheep in line. You are not a sheep. You are a man, a free man."

"Are you telling me that I can write out a check for a skyscraper and nobody from the government will say squat about it?"

"That's exactly what I'm telling you, Boss. However, if you are planning on making such major purchases, you probably should run it by the Duke, first.
