Chapter 162

Monday took on a life of its own; Patti and I were back at the college to begin the last two weeks of the 13/14 college year.

Patti's employment contract was up at the end of the school year. I had filled out the paperwork to extend the contract for another term. It was up to the department heads to determine the length of the term. I had requested four years so that it would be on the same cycle as mine, with automatic extensions. HR sent the sealed confidential envelope in today's mail. It had been approved; all I needed to do was to present it to her and have both of us sign it.

On a different note I had left Jason and Courtney several pages of instructions along with signed job offers. They were going to be busy for the week. Monday and Tuesday Jason and the girls were going to be doing more interviews.

I called Dover Officers Supply about getting the Glock semiautomatics and uniforms for our security company. I knew there were going to be hoops to jump through, especially with those not already having carry permits. Part of the paperwork they had filled out after they accepted the job was the State of Maryland request for a carry permit. Those were to be submitted by Jason today, along with the necessary fees

The owner remembered me from my original purchase of weapons. I explained in detail about the security company and the contract. I was happy to learn that he also had a store 20 miles from Frost Borough. Once our State security license was approved we could buy any kind of weapons we wanted under the license that were legal in-state. The good thing about buying the equipment in Delaware was Delaware had no sales tax. The guns had to be bought in Maryland for registration purposes. The ammo and uniforms would be bought out of the Delaware store.

JBG had submitted all the paperwork for the security license before I had put in the bid to Frost Borough. Jenny and now Jason were both working on it. It was a four license package. So far three of the four had been approved and Jason expected the fourth any day. The insurance and bond had already been paid and was in force. As soon as they were approved we were going to go through the process to be registered as a Security company nationwide.

With an affiliate store 20 miles from Frost Borough the new hires could stop by to get measured for the uniforms and bullet-proof vest when they had time. I had to dig in my brief case to find the sheet of accounting numbers Marcy had devised for the security division. I started a corporate account- one of many that were going to be needed.

I advanced ordered 5000 rounds of 40 caliber ammo. I knew that the three that had been at the bottom of the testing were going to need 500 to a thousand rounds each to get the scores I expected. There would then be the routine practice to stay there.

My thought process was interrupted by the entrance of Mischief and Mayhem into my office. In a break from the normal, Roseanne started talking first.

"We want to thank you for getting us the study material for the interview with Marcy today. We spent all day yesterday going over it. We even gave each other questions," Roseanne said.

"We are on our way now. We are going to get lunch there and be an hour early," Corry added.

"Going to put out a good impression by being early is always a good way to start. Remember to turn off your cell phones," I said.

I looked at the clothes they were wearing. They were most likely the best they had and good enough for any college function they had been to. But for this interview they needed to look like a professional office person; that is the group of people that they were competing against.
