To change pack hierarchy, wolves continually challenge each other.

Christopher stared out the barred windows of the sales department, biting into his Big Mac. He set the sandwich on his desk while he choked down the ground beef, the lettuce, and the special sauce. He almost never ate at his desk; he preferred to use his lunch hours to wine and dine his bird-dogs for leads.

However, when he had observed Harold rifling through Quin’s desk earlier, he got a little uneasy. What was he searching for? And what had he found?

Christopher took his time setting his own personal belongings into a briefcase, just in case Harold decided to make a late-night raid. He had nothing to hide really, but who knew what Harold was looking for?

The sales department was always deserted at lunchtime, and the only sounds he heard were a few random phones ringing before rolling to voicemail. He took another mouthful of burger, questioning: What was in the special sauce?

He surfed through the database records, casually reading the notes. Richard’s records had personal comments and opinions about his customers. Bob’s records had typos. He couldn’t type worth a hoot, so his notes were brief and to the point.

Glancing around the room, Christopher decided to try the database download function again. His attempt had been unsuccessful yesterday. Could he retrieve the client, prospect, and investor database? He inserted a USB drive into the computer, clicked on “Export Records,” and waited.

The database would be invaluable in helping him launch his own viatical settlement company. Why reinvent the wheel when all the leads and investors were right here?

The screen flashed: “Security Violation.” Just like yesterday.

Harold and Ben had a higher security clearance than the other sales representatives. But Christopher had a new idea to try. He had helped Ben on numerous occasions when his boss had trouble logging into the computer.

He logged out and logged back in as Ben, using the boss’s password. After he clicked on “Export Records,” the screen flashed: “Export Database?”

Yeah! Why not?

He clicked on “Yes” and waited as his computer’s drive whirred away. Had he known it was this easy, he would not have ordered the super-size Coke and fries. He could’ve downloaded this data and still had time to work a few deals at the hospital cafeteria.

With the task done, he ejected the drive, tossed it in his briefcase, and logged back in as himself. His new viatical settlement company, Gartner & Partners, was about to be launched. He knew his life was now in jeopardy, but he planned to squeeze through those narrow bars and never look back.
