"Chris? This is Percy. Sorry I couldn't wait any longer for you to call. It's been four days. How did it go?"

"Well, you won't believe it Percy. There was $8 million missing but King and Triple P helped me find it. My father did siphon it off but actually gave it back to his employees."

"So what happens now?"

"I'm going to sell the plant and the proceeds should take care of the tax debt."

"I'm glad Chris. It must be a weight off you."

"Yes it is but this whole thing exposed something else."

"What would that be?"

"That I miss you. You said that you had some time next week."

"Yes I did."

"I have to fly down to the plant next week to do a walk through with the appraisers. Why don't you meet me there?"

"Why would I do that? You're in the clear. You don't need me."

"Come on Percy. You told me a long time ago that you wanted to see that island of Cade's and to ride some horses. Plus you never ate so good until you went outside and plucked your own peach from the tree and ate it. What do you say? I'll even pay for your ticket."

"Guess I can't turn a free trip down. Send me the details and call me later."

"Okay Percy. I'll talk to you tonight."
