The text which Ross had received was from Alan Hell.
As the examiners were looking at the company from Canada, they had noticed certain "inconsistences" which caused them to question things.
Fritz greeted Ross in a jovial mood, like Fritz's usual self. Ross showed Fritz the text, Fritz's face fell, and the two of them sank into chairs.
"Damn, that does not sound promising" Fritz said.
"I almost feel.. defeated.. before we even do this show. We have it scheduled, so let's just do it. Let's go through "The Process" of this show, as my Dad likes to say, and when I get back to New York I will meet with Mister Hell myself, and we will all get on a conference call with him, to see where this stands" Ross said, to try and calm himself down.
Ross and Fritz drove to the field alone. Steve was surveying wells in Texas, and would be back the following day.
The return, not surprisingly, was anemic. 175 potential investors, 25 signups.
Ross and Fritz got a quick dinner, and then Fritz drove Ross back to the hotel.
Ross called the teacher. Kayley could tell from Ross's voice that something was terribly wrong.
"The examiners saw inconsistency in the Canada deal. I got the text literally just I got off the plane in OKC. Steve is away in Texas dealing with the wells there. Fritz and I are here together alone, and needless to say, we are both upset. I might ask if we can cut one show off so I can get out of here, or ask if he can do it alone. I'm very jumpy and feel like we might have just lost a huge deal" Ross said.
"Ross, try to calm down. You've had deals to try and acquire companies when you've folded smaller companies into RossShell, this is no different" Kayley said.
"Kayley, please dont mention that nightmare I have on Park Avenue in New York. I told you, I am going to pack RossShell in" Ross said.
"Will you please just calm down and see what happens? You're in OKC. Do the show, and see. " Kayley said.
"Is it okay if I go to Vegas for two or three days if I'm back on Saturday morning?" Ross said.
"I'm your wife and partner Ross, not your keeper. Go if you feel you need to. I just dont want you to go off the rails" Kayley said.
Ross sighed. "Okay. Thanks. I love you, and thanks for the support" Ross said.
"Honey, I'm your partner for twenty seven years, and will be for the rest of our lives. I'm used to your business ups and downs. Most important, I dont want you to go spinning out of control. Take one day at a time" Kayley said.
"I will. I Love You until the end of time" Ross said.
"Same here, Energy Boy. Take your meds, calm down, and let me know about Vegas" Kayley said, blowing Ross a kiss through the phone.
Ross slept at intervals that night. He was really , really upset.
Ross's mood was not helped in the morning, when he called his real office in New York before Ross headed out to the field with Fritz, only to find that Charles Harton was growling again.
"Victor, I'm in OKC, and might have a major problem both here, and in Canada. I dont and cant talk to Charles now. Please tell him that I am in OKC for the rest of the week, and will meet him when I get home" Ross said.
"Of course, Ross, I will take care of it" Vic said.
That day, Fritz picked Ross up at the hotel. "Third show is canceled. Steve thinks that we should just put this on hold considering the Canada problem. Neither of us are really focused or clear. We can always do a show. Go whereever tonight, either home if you want or to LV" Fritz said.
"Okay, thanks, so whatever happens today, happens" Ross said.
Ross and Fritz went back to the fields, only to find more anemia. Seventy five investors present, twelve signups.
"Ross, get the Hell out of here, and go to LV, We had a bad trip. We can always talk while you are there, I'm sure Kayley will understand" Fritz said.
Kayley was at school. Ross texted her. "Second show is terrible, third show is canceled. headed to LV for three days. Need to just get away. Called RossShell and Harton is not behaving himself. I cannot come home and deal with him now. Hope that is okay with you" Ross said, calmly.
Kayley texted back a heart. "Sorry about the bad two days. Dont worry about this OKC trip. Maybe you can still work Canada out. Maybe it is not as bad as it seems" Kayley said.
Ross called Ceaser's Palace, bumped Fritz fist goodbye, and got on the plane to LV, figuring he might be back in less than a month depending on if they could save the Canada deal.
Ross tried to calm down. The Canada deal was not "Life Or Death" for anyone of course, but, it would and could put a major hit into the resources of the Canadian company.
Ross tried to doze from DFW to LV
Ross staggered into an Uber, checked in, and when he looked at his phone after he dropped his bags, his phone was flashing "Twice, from two places"
That could not be good news, or could it?!
That would be seen.
