Chapter 17
A Plan for Revenge
We checked in to a modest hotel in London. We chose a basic room after I bedazzled the front desk attendant. I could have gone for something much grander, but I didn’t want to draw any attention to us. Beryl was having a shower as I lay on the bed and flicked through the television channels until I came to a news channel giving a review of the finance industry.
My stomach turned over as I saw the face of Harry McKilson on television, the man who had fired me from McKilson and Stanley in favour of Gary, who had stolen my golden snitch of a sales pitch. The journalist was grilling him, and McKilson had a smug smile on his face. I would really love to wipe that smile off his face.
“If rumours are right, though Harry, your company is set to make millions off this merger,” said the journalist. What? Wait? What bloody merger?
There was text scrolling along the bottom of the screen. APL Pharmaceuticals merger with Merryl Linchmann to be finalized in a few days. What the hell? That was my original pitch. I had not been following any financial news at all. I could hardly believe what I was watching.
“I’m say nothing. This merger will bring a great new powerhouse to the Pharmaceutical industry and McKilson and Stanly are keenly watching its progress,” said Harry McKilson.
“Yes, but you’ve invested millions of stock into these companies in recent weeks. When these two companies merge you’re set to profit dramatically, plus your own companies stock will rise significantly. How did you know?” said the journalist.
“Well we have great people working for us and they read and analyzed what they could. This is one of our new rising stars at the company, his name is Gary Elliot.”
“The bastard!” I said. There the smarmy wanker Gary Elliot came on the television in a brand new Armani suit.
“Who?” said Beryl, coming out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her.
“This guy, it’s the guy Beryl,” I said. “The guy who stole my idea and the guy who fired me.”
“So, Gary,” said the journalist. “You are probably about to achieve a level of success that many dream of. What tips do you have for those out there who want to achieve success?”
“Word hard,” said Gary. “You know, when others are out partying I was working to find the right information to achieve.”
“These two?” said Beryl.
“Yeah, they’re about to make millions off my tip, my knowledge. Merlin’s Beard I would love to wipe the smug smiles off their faces,” I said.
“You want to kill them?” said Beryl.
“No, worse, I want to destroy them. I want to break them, I want to see them cry,” I said.
“Wow, Sean, you’re really embracing this dark wizard thing. How are you going to do it?” said Beryl.
“I don’t know, there must be some way. Something we could do,” I said.
“We could simply rob them after they’ve made the money,” said Beryl.
