I get the surprise of my life when Christian walks up to the door. I was just going out to get the mail. He hugs me and asks if he was missed. He had been so busy he didn't make it home at all for six years. So he is 24 and he looks so different and he is bigger than last time I saw him. The girls are watching him and he smiles at gives them hugs they have seen his photos that Roz sent us to prove he was still alive. He has gifts for the girls.

I walk out of my office to see what all the excitement was about and there stands my wayward son. He hugs me and we enjoy a glass of iced tea. I ask how is business and he tells me he just opened places overseas and is looking at buying a few other companies if he can convince them to sell. He is also having Ray and Jason open security offices inside his buildings. I tell him how well Elliott is doing and the big project he has been working on and it will bring a lot of jobs to Seattle.
Christian
I know the project it's mine and he should be nearly done. I am running my company from here in Seattle. I am missing here and my family. Roz is on her honeymoon otherwise she would be here as well. She is my COO and like family as well. Elliott has been keeping me up on everything and sent me photos of everyone. I hear Austin and the sextuplets are all in their third year of college. I see photos everywhere they include all the children at birthday parties. BBQ's, boating, fishing and self defense and defensive driving courses. Anastasia, Mia and Tia are gorgeous, even though they are identical, one stands out in the pictures and I ask mom which one she is and she says it is Anastasia. In every picture it is like she was the central focus and like she had commanded they take the shot a certain way.
Grace
Even though they are identical somehow she just lights or leads the way for the rest of the group. I just have no idea how she is commander of the group including Austin. I never looked at the photos in that way before, but she is the teenagers leader and she does it well and they all seem to follow her lead. She never leads them astray. She sets a good example and maintains that in whatever they do. Jason thinks it's great except when it comes to fishing and going out on the boats. She likes to drive the boats but hates fishing. She learned how to swim and taught the others to swim. She spends as much time outside as she does inside. It definitely keeps them out of trouble and no one bothers them in school after someone thought because of Anastasia being small in height and weight a bully thought she needed taken down a peg or two. First mistake was him thinking she wasn't going to stand up for herself and her family. He waited until she wasn't with her siblings or Austin and tried to rape her. Let's just say he needed medical treatment on his private parts. The bruised arms showing his handprints and her ripped top was enough to put him behind bars. That was her freshman year at college. The guy was 21 he had no idea she was a minor and really didn't care until he was charge for child molestation and assault on a minor along with attempted rape. They aren't sure if he will ever be able to procreate. I think everyone is hoping he can't.
Christian
This is the same girl in this photo?
Grace
Yes and she is a nice young lady. To look at her you would think she is quiet and demure, but don't light the match that ignites that fire below. Ray, Jason, Sam and your dad calls them the A team. I think they will be able to accomplish about anything they set their mind to. The doorbell rings.
Christian
That's Roz Bailey and her wife Gwen. I thought you would like to meet my COO.
Carrick
I definitely do want to meet the other person that started GEH. The building looks great, Elliott is very proud of it and he has been getting more customers wanting similar buildings.
Roz
Gwen and I meet mr and Mrs Grey and then Their twins come off the school bus and meet us and Grace excuses herself to get them settled in for the evening. We are invited to dinner, but we have to get settled in our new apartment. Christian is joining us because we are moving into the same building. He took the penthouse and we took the place two floors below him. Elliott built this place for GEH to have a place close to the GEH building and for security staff as well. We found an IT genius by pure accident. He was working at a tech convention and we had someone there showing what was supposed to be a new creation. Colin Davies and his Andrea were there showing a product and software that blew both our minds. Christian tried his best to get him to sell it to him, but to no avail. He asked if he would be interested in coming to work for us. At first he was hesitant and then Christian offered him everything he wanted in the best equipment on the market and possibly before it went on the market if possible. Colin and Andrea both signed on but didn't like the non compete in the contract. Christian offered him bonuses for anything he came up with that earned certain percentages. So we found two IT geniuses in New York. Both had to move to Seattle with their parents that is how much we wanted them Christian hired their parents as well. It was one and half times their salary. We put them to work right away setting up all the servers and they had carte blanche to get it all done and to use the best. Colin called Jason and Ray and they were able to get him things that normally isn't sold to the general public. I met them when the security staff was put in place in New York.
Christian
It took a month to get everything up and running in the building and Jason and Ray set their Seattle offices up in the GEH building on the first floor right by our security suite. Colin wanted the basement beside the servers. Hiring was an issue Roz and I were sent all kinds of people for our administrative assistants. I finally hired a classmate of the Steele's Kate Kavanagh. She definitely is what I needed for keeping out the problems. Roz said she looked familiar to her and then it hit us she us the daughter of Donald and Sherry Kavanagh of Kavanagh Media my most recent acquisition. They wanted to retire and travel. She is definitely young, but smart and worked in a similar position, plus she didn't come on to me in the interview. She did however ask if Elliott was still single. I laughed and told her played the field over and over again. But something tells me that won't bother her at all. Her first week we had several issues but mostly because she was protective of who got to see me and when. So we got that resolved quickly. My fiancé came strutting in and walked right past Kate and that wasn't going to fly with miss Kavanagh, so she stopped her. Vanessa Wentworth didn't appreciate that I had not informed my assistant that she could come and go as pleased. SonI had to tell Kate and have her add certain others to a list of who can visit me when they wish as long as I wasn't busy. Then we had a list of who wasn't allowed. Richard Lincoln was not allowed anywhere near any GEH building or employees. He is very dangerous I backed out if a huge deal because huge red flags like his company being investigated bye the CIA, FBI and Interpol. Who knows who else is investigating him. He was caught moving illegal goods with his shipyards. That was what I wanted to buy from him. Now I will play wait and see. If I had went through with the deal he would have been free and clear and I would be holding the bag. The guy Robert Welch that Jason and Ray sent to me was the one who ran the background checks and found out that Lincoln was being watched by numerous agencies sone he didn't know who they were working for he told me to dump the deal and quickly. I listened and soon he told me they hit all Lincoln's companies all at one time. No time to hide anything. So he is on the run now.
