Chapter 188: House Hunting

Editor: nnpdad

There was fun to be had and I intended to have it. This guy here in front of me was just bragging about how he ripped me off right before Sinclaire walked in - how much more fun could this get? To make matters even better Mickey chose that moment to show up as well. I simply handed him the cash purse and told him to take over. I then invited my two new friends out back for a conversation; if I thought they had gone pale before, I was wrong. I got to see a whole new color of pale and they reeked of fear. I pointed to the back door and then gathered up three glasses to follow them.

I sat down in my reluctant rocker and pointed at the chairs on the other side of the small table for them. While they arranged themselves I poured out three measures of my private stock and offered them each a glass.

“I propose a toast to open and honest business dealings now and into the future!” I said as I raised my glass.

Well the guy who was bragging about the deal looked like he was about to have a stroke but his friend seemed to be relaxing a little bit. Sadly his friend didn’t enjoy his drink like we did, loss for him. I decided to jump right in.

“Now gentlemen, I assume you heard how happy Ms. Sinclaire was when she came just moments ago. I also assume that none of us here want to do anything to lessen that happiness.” That got me two instant bobble-heads as Mr. Realtor-wannabe couldn’t decide if yes or no was the correct answer.
