What better time to open a new restaurant and at the stroke of 12:01 am and with a lottery to get inside. A lot of promotions went into getting the new Mia's grand opening the place to be on New Year's Day. The winners would already be announced and inside before the actual opening. Mia is on site and the food and drinks are all ready to be served. We offered dinner to the guests who won the lottery and in some cases they were offered. We worked things out and the official start of business for the public will be New Years Day. Mia and I will be in the office overseeing everything that is going on with our new restaurant together. The managers, chefs, servers, security, valets are all in place. The hosts and hostesses are working hard. The crowd paid quite a lot to attend this party and they are getting their moneys worth just by being able to be on the guests list.

Gideon came up with a wonderful way to make a big splash for Mia's restaurant and I am amazed at how well it worked out. Gideon has great ideas on how to market anything at all. The profits are already rolling in from just one day. I never thought about opening the restaurant for New Years, the way he did it made us a lot of money. Reservations after that were pretty good and we had the best staff and a great location. Gideon made sure the managers were the best people available. We had to head back to Seattle before we got snowed in. We finally get on the jet and head back home. I know Gideon has been putting things together so he can work in Seattle, but soon he will need to be back in New York to get things done at his home office. I have to see about things that will free me up to be with him in New York and that requires my giving a certain amount of attention to assuring that I have the right people in place to run my companies in Seattle. Josh is good at his job, but he can't do it all. Plus I suspect he wants to concentrate on getting married and having a family. I have a headhunter looking to get someone who wants to be CEO and all that entails. Then hire people who will step into all the other positions that will need filled when jobs Josh and I have been doing from the beginning, jobs that take up as much time as CEO and COO positions. We will need two CFO's to work side by side and handle both incoming and outgoing transactions. An auditor is always on board and audits the books all the time.

I have signed a new contract with Mia and it is regarding my opening up a production company and making movies. We have worked things out and a building was purchased and land as well. It's going to be expensive but we have went through all the costs analysis and lawyers, accountants and builders and realtors have gotten involved in it. I hired more staff to handle the studio and they are doing great. They have started building their own names in the industry. My gallery has grown and is open to all artist who meet the criteria for showing their things. I have learned animation skills and am working with people who are trying to break into the film industry. I found a screenplay that I want to make into a movie. The writer T. Moorehouse has written extensively about their experiences growing up as an orphan of parents who were black ops. I can't figure if they are male or female at this point, but they seem determined to find their parents killers. I couldn't put the screenplay down, I showed it to Mia and she said it would make a great movie and possible tv series. Now I need to talk to the writer.

T. Moorehouse AKA Tina Moore
I got a call from Rodriguez films asking me to meet them regarding my manuscript, Red Anger and he wants to meet him in Seattle and discuss making it into a movie. Then a possible tv series. I know who Jose Rodriquez Jr. is and what he has been through to get to where he is now. I arrive and they escort me to the studio and Jose is standing looking at animatronics and watching them being moved around the sets. He then realizes that I am standing there and he greets me and says that he wants to talk about making my story into a movie.

Tina Moore of all people is the writer and I am pretty sure the story is reality based and on her life and her parents lives. We might have to make sure to cover ourselves when we go to make the movie. Mia has read it and thinks we can change names and events to a different timeline and location to assure it doesn't correspond with something else. Can't open those cans of worms again. If we think it might be too risky we might have to shelf it. But at this point we can control what happens. If we don't get control now, someone else might not get the references in the story. It might be about Tina, but it includes others that will definitely be identified by descriptions and other information that is in the story. Can't have that happen because I have gotten a lot of help getting to where I am at with the Grey and Steele families help.

Tina
He tells me that we need to protect not only me, but my family and others families from any retribution from any one. So we decide to work out details and names, places and my name is too close to my real name and would draw attention.
