Mac comes back to the safehouse
He brought people with him
Ahh there he is
Mac shouts
He was sitting in the living room trying to sort his shit out
He looks at Mac
He says nothing
Ah this guy is a party animal
Watch out ladies
...
You should have seen him the other night
Running around wearing nothing but a sheet telling the story of how he's a Roman lust god
A memory flashes in his mind
He was standing on a table in a sheet reciting love poems that he had wrote to his beloved and thinking they were in ancient rome
He remembered reading the one he wrote the night of the day she left:
He spent the day waiting
He napped
He woke up
He cried
He fell asleep again
He woke up and he cried
He realized that their love was hidden
There was no evidence to show
He wrote down how he felt
His growing sorrow was interrupted
Mac hands him a drink
C'mon mate
It's time to work
What do you mean?
Mac laughs
We have to make these chuckle heads happy
This is how business still works
I know you were out of the game for a while but the old rules still apply
...
We mingle
We make them happy
We show them true luxury
We make them want more
Wait
Aren't I supposed to be hiding
Oh no mate
I took care of it
As my business partner
You know have access to my team of lawyers
Mac leans in and whispers
You're untouchable as long as I own you and you do what I say
Now laugh
They both let out a hearty fake laugh
Mac yells
Oh this guy is hilarious
...
Ladies
Come
Make yourself comfortable
...
My mate is dying to tell everyone about what we've gained this year
He's like a deer in the headlights
Thinking
Does he just expect me to make shit up?
He stands up
No one wants to hear me spout off about boring numbers
He looks to the girls on the couch and smiles
No you don't want that do you?
They shake their heads no
That's right
Come take a look at this spectacular view
He leads them to the infinity pool with Faux rocks surrounding a higher leveled hot tub and waterfall on the balcony
How would you like to wake up to this every morning?
It's nice right?
He turns and gauges their reactions
He continues
Well
this is just one of our many guests houses
It's worth over 25 million
He didn't even know if he was exaggerating
He goes on to explain that everything they saw
They could be sure that he and Mac had 100x that much that they didn't share with strangers
He encouraged them to make themselves at home
He didn't even know what the business was
He didn't know who these people were
But they were eating right out of the palm of his hand
Mac comes up and pats him on the back
Great job reeling them in
Investors?
Yes my friend
Mac laughs
Investors
I'm going to need more information and direction
You can't just spring this on me li--
Mac hushes him
In due time
Now let's enjoy ourselves
