Prologue
Midway on his morning walk to Willis tower, Hank strolled briskly by a beggar on the street. He didn’t even break his stride as the man rattled his meager cup populated with only two tinny sounding coins.
“Clank clank.”
“Clank clank.”
Hank glanced over his shoulder for a moment, poised at the entrance of his favorite Starbucks. Read More →
Chapter 1 –Day 2 in New York
Hank convinced himself that there would be another time to sort out personal issues with his father. He was pleased not to see the gentlemen from Las Vegas at the dinner and hoped they were otherwise occupied and not just tucked away keeping a low profile.

Queen in Play
Chicago’s Midway airport was buzzing the next morning, with a matched pair of Bombardier jets fueling at the far end of the tarmac. Jen’s agenda took her south, while Hank was headed to the West Coast after he wrapped up a last minute breakfast meeting with his personal staff. Jen waited in the airport coffee shop, but Hank was late. He had been consistently late since taking the CEO post. The aroma of chocolate chip pancakes was tempting. Too tempting, as Hank’s delay turned into twenty minutes. Two high calorie pancakes later, Jen regretted the indulgence as she paid the bill. Read More…
