    About this ebook

    "Senior", the controlling partner at the firm has "problems"...psychological problems ... paranoia at the least, probably schizophrenia .... and a dubious sense of ethical obligation to his employees.

    I set out to avenge myself. Vengence. Not a nice thing. Doesn't meet my expectations. Odd, how we can find love.

      Chapter One

      I go both ways. I was forced into it. West or east. I prefer west. Dallas was always too snooty for me. When I started my career in 1984, in Dallas, the town was the epicenter of commerce and booming. Everyone thought they were players. Like they have always thought they are in LA.

      Fort Worth is different. It is western. The people are nicer. The barbeque is better. And the Tex-Mex. And the zoo.
