Shortly, after another two-fingers of scotch, after all the documents had been signed, copied, and finalized, after Sherman had written a 5-million dollar check for the change, Julie brought in a leather satchel with a handcuff lock for Jason to carry his papers. Now, with more confidence, he stopped trembling as his ingenious plan fell into place but there was one detail he had yet to disclose: the reason for the NDA.

“Okay, Jason, now that our transfer is final and you’re operating under Qubital’s umbrella, will you explain to me about those venture capitalists you had on the line? What happened to them?”

He smiled and bowed his head briefly. “Sir, there were no VCs. I had a plan that not one of you believed in.”

“Well, Jason, I noticed that that ticket was not a quick pick, someone hand picked those numbers. Was it you? And how did you know?”

“No, not someone, sir… something. It was Nissy. I knew that the chance of that particular ticket winning the jackpot was certain after Nissy saw and picked the numbers. Nissy can now see into the future.”

He gasped, grabbing at the edges of his desk, a victim of an apparent heart attack, then fell face down on his desk.

“Noah? Noah, are you all right?”

No response but he’s still breathing, he thought.

“Noah, want me to call 911?”

He twitched and slowly raised his head. “No, I think I’m okay, just fainted, but I swear to God I heard you say Nissy could see into the future before everything went dark.”

“I did and it can.”

“But-but how do you know that win wasn’t just a fluke of fate?” he asked, more alert, expectantly awaiting his answer.

“Because, on the previous Powerball drawing for $198 million, it also gave me six numbers, right before the drawing. But I didn’t buy a ticket because I didn’t trust the numbers. And then by the time I realized I would waste only two dollars, the sales for the drawing were closed. The next day I found out those six numbers would have won.”

He rose from the desk and stared for moments out his office window at the traffic below. “So that ticket I own was a test. A test for validation of its clairvoyance. Is that true?”

“Yes sir, it was. I staked my imaginary VCs’ reputations on it. And they paid up. With Nissy’s help, I just bought my company for two dollars.”

He turned away from the window and pulled the check ledger from his desk again, then held out his hand. “Please return that check to me, Jason.”

“But why?” he answered, reluctantly reaching unto the satchel for the check.

“Because I want to replace it with a 10-million dollar check. Buy all the stock you can in GOD, Inc. for five then keep the other five for yourself and your family. I just wished I had listened to you in the first place. Damn that Bill Crane.”

He wrote the check, traded it, then returned to the window and paced for minutes staring at the floor in deep thought.
