“And this deal is done.”

Justin pushed back from his desk, setting down his pen as his eyes scanned the three huge monitors sitting on the large surface. The screens were filled with spreadsheets, charts and computations. A few feet behind them on the wall, large TV screens featured the major news stations on mute, covering the domestic and foreign markets. The screen to the far right had a running Twitch feed of one of his favorite gamers taking down alternative civilizations in a CGI environment.

But the stuff that mattered, the stuff that he and Adam had busted their asses to make happen, was going to work. The deal with Aerospace Link was going to solidify their leadership in the future of cloud-based technology.

And it was going to make them even more ridiculously rich than they already were.

More importantly, it was going to allow them to fund and mentor other scrappy kids who dropped out of school with nothing but Red Bull-fueled dreams and a couple of laptop computers.

“Are you sure?” Adam paced across the floor in front of Justin’s desk, his brows scrunched together in an intense expression. Adam was the worrier and he wasn’t great with numbers, so Justin walked him through it one more time.

Numbers were as basic as breathing for Justin. When words twisted up on him and made things that came so easily to everyone else so hard for him, so hurtful, numbers had been his solace. So he gladly walked Adam through all of it and showed him exactly how their dreams were still coming true.

“And this is solid. A sure thing?” Adam asked, gesturing toward the multicolored pie chart on one screen.

“Well, nothing is guaranteed but our part is solid. Worst case—we make millions. Best case—we make levels of fuck-you money that will enable our great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandkids to tell people to fuck off.” Justin went over to his fridge and pulled out two bottles of beer, popping the tops and handing one off to his best friend. They clinked bottles and both took a long drink. “Now, normally we don’t drink on the job but this is a celebration and we are done for the day.”

Employees walked by just outside the glass walls of Justin’s office. His space was on the same floor as Adam’s but at the opposite corner. They both had windows that looked out over the lush green campus of Redhawk/Ling and he loved to watch their employees come and go from the building, enjoying lunch or coffee in the sunshine on the patios, or exercising on the trails. Standing here, shoulder to shoulder with his best friend, it was a little...incredible.

“I can’t believe we’re doing this,” Justin said, nudging Adam with his elbow.

“I can’t believe we did this,” Adam replied, his smile huge as he waved his hand around like a sovereign viewing his subjects from the balcony of the palace. “I wouldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else.”

“Me either,” Justin said, his voice tight with emotion. He wasn’t going to start bawling or anything but he loved the man standing next to him.
