When Ross sat down, and Fritz had given him an iced tea, Fritz started talking about the next few days "Agenda"
"Ross, I am not even sure if we will be doing a show during the next few days. We will be meeting with two, and maybe three, people who can, could, and might, sell us companies, fields, and or, entry into deals. The whole situation is very complex, so let's just meet with these people, hear them out, and then discuss it amongst ourselves. You may be here four days, but no more than three nights, so please inform the VP of such" Fritz said.
"Mister P, please dont concern yourself with the VP. Kayley knows why I'm down here. So far Thank God I feel okay. If Heaven forbid something comes up, I will call a nurse. Let's not think about that" Ross said.
Ross, Fritz, and Steve went out to lunch at a steakhouse.
After lunch they went back to the office, studied their first possible company, and got on the phone with Steven Cahn, one of the men who had a potential 75 million dollar company with reserves which perhaps would be feasible for RFS to buy.
"Gentlemen, thank you all for taking the time for this call. Ross, I know that you are on the phone, and that you are the third partner in RFS. I've already talked to Steve and Fritz, and I'm sure they informed you of what I might have to offer, and how I can help all of you, and RFS" Steven said.
"Yes, Steven, they did. Your company sounds very intriguing. What are you proposing, and what is your time frame.?" Ross asked.
"Well, since I know that you commute back and forth between New York and OKC about once a month, why dont I give you all 30 days. You gentlemen have the numbers. I propose that you all study them, and then we talk again. Of course, I know that your geologists will want to study my company reports and fields, which I know will take time" Steven said.
"Yes, but we can definitely take care of that within 30 days. Let me study the reports jointly with Steve and Fritz, and then we will email you with a realistic time frame of how long it will take our geologists to take care of everything, and after the geologists do such, and report to us, we will talk again" Ross said.
"Just fine. I look forward to hearing from you gentlemen soon" Steven said.
Ross, Fritz and Steve spent the rest of the day studying the specifics of Steven's company, and sending their reports on the company to the geologists of RFS.
Ross knew that he had to share the information about Tazzio's threat with Fritz and Steve.
Just before they were about to head out to dinner, Ross, "Spilled the beans"
"Guys, I have something important to tell you. I thought I wanted to wait until the "Right time". but with something like this there is no "Right time" I received threatening papers from Tazzio just before I left to come here. I talked to our good friend and investor Mister Hell. Unfortunately, Alan said he thinks that there might be some merit to Tazzio's threat. Alan sent Tom from Philadelphia the papers, and we are waiting to hear from Tom. Here are copies of the papers" Ross said, handing copies of the threat papers to Steve and Fritz.
Steve and Fritz studied the papers and then Fritz said. "We will call Mister Hell when we all get in here tomorrow. I, for one, refuse to run scared.. It does not even mean that any of this bullshit is real. Anyone can sue anyone. On what merit can the miserable human being Tazzio sue us? We did not start this company with Tazzio. Tazzio is not an investor who lost money in a deal or partnership with us. This is all likely,. in my opinion, a bunch of BS" Fritz said.
"I hope so. Let's just have a call with Alan tomorrow and discuss all of this" Ross said.
Ross, Fritz and Steve went out to dinner. After dinner, Ross was dropped off at the hotel.
Ross showered, got into bed clothes,. and called the VP
"How was your day?" Kayley inquired.
"Oh, okay. Had a conversation about a possible company, and showed Fritz and Steve the papers I got from Tazzio. Fritz seems defiant, and says he will not back down or run scared. We are going to call our friend Mister Hell tomorrow, and discuss this with him. If need be, hopefully Alan can talk to our good buddy Shark Tom in Philadelphia. Hopefully he can get Tazzio off our backs if there is any merit to this" Ross said.
"Sounds like a good plan. When do you think you will be home?" Kayley asked.
"Gosh, I just got here. To answer your question, in either two or three days" Ross said.
"Okay, have a good night" Kayley said.
"You as well, VP" Ross replied.
Ross tried to sleep, and did, to an extent. Ross tried not to think about Tazzio,, and just to focus on his trip and any potential work. Yet, a little feeling inside of Ross felt troubled.
The next morning, Ross got up, showered, dressed, was picked up by Fritz and Steve, and they had breakfast, and went to the office.
Their first call was,. predictably, to Alan Hell.
"Alan Hell, please, Ross speaking" Ross said to the secretary.
"Of course, Ross, Alan will be right with you" The woman said.
Alan got on the phone.
"Good morning, Ross. I'm guessing you are with Fritz and Steve?" Alan asked.
"He is, Alan how are you?" Fritz asked.
"Just fine, Fritz, and you?" Alan asked.
"Trying not to think that this papers from Tazzio are any more than a wild shot in the air, but as an attorney, you can tell us that" Fritz said.
Alan sighed. "This suit would have no merit legally, and would likely be thrown out of court. The problem is, that if and once Tazzio sues, the court could, possibly, freeze RFS from conducting new business. That has not happened yet, so , whatever you guys have planned this week, just do it, and once Tom gets involved, as he likely will, we will all talk going forward" Alan said.
"Okay, we will keep in touch, Alan" Fritz said.
"Of course we will. Have a good day, guys" Alan said.
"You as well" Fritz said.
Once Alan was clicked off, Fritz looked at Ross and Steve and said. "Okay, so we all agree, go about our business, so , the next order of business is to look over these papers on a potential energy supplier and or possible company to buy in North Texas. We will call the guy, Vance Tenant, today at 1" Steve said, as Ross, Fritz and Steve looked over the papers.
At 1, Steve picked up the phone, and put Vance on speakerphone.
"Vance, this is Steven White from RFS, good afternoon. My partners Ross and Fritz are here with me on this call" Steve said.
"Just fine, and good afternoon Gentlemen" Vance said.
"Good Afternoon, Vance" Ross and Fritz said.
"Okay, so I'm guessing you all had the chance to look over the papers regarding my company. Let ,me explain how I might be able to help you. I know that all of you sell many spots and partnership spots in fields in RFS. I could help you one of two ways, eiither spots in Energy in both Oklahoma and or Texas, or, anywhere from one to three companies which have fields, which would be sold to RFS, and folded into RFS for the product " Vance said.
"What is your time frame, Vance, and what is the price, would be my obvious first question" Ross said.
Anywhere from 50 to 100 million depending on what you buy from me, and within 60 days, to give your people time to examine the reports and the fields" Vance said.
"That sounds reasonable. We will study this, and we will get back to you within the month" Ross said.
"Good" Vance said.
Ross was not planning to leave for home until the following day. However, the travel, discussion, and not sleeping well, was starting to give him a migraine.
"Okay, Ross. I can see that you are fighting it. We are taking you back to the hotel, and you are to please pack, hop on the plane, and scurry back to the VP. We can always talk about the other thing while you are home, and or you can come back within a couple of weeks" Fritz said strongly.
"Yes, Sir, P " Ross said, weakly, knowing Fritz was right.
Ross made a plane, was taken back to the hotel, packed, and on the way to the airport, called the VP
"VP. I am coming home tonight. We finished two things, will do a third when Iam home, and I am out of here. Mister P could see that I'm fighting it, and strongly suggested slash ordered me to come home" Ross said, very weakly.
"Mister P is right. What time will you be home?" Kayley asked.
"Into JFK at 1, home by 2 at latest if all is on time "Ross said.
"Okay, please wake me when you get in, see you later" Kayley said.
Ross shook hands with Fritz and Steve.,
"I will try to come back before a month. Sorry to cut the trip short" Ross said./
"Dont think about it. Most important is your health. Please call during the day tomorrow" Fritz said.
"Of course, Sir" Ross said, taking his suitcase, and briefcase, going out of the car, going through check in, and on to the plane.
The flight took off. Ross drank an iced tea, picked at his on flight meal, and the plane landed at 115 am.
Ross hopped into an Uber, and was home by 2.
Ross took off his shoes, and tried to quietly enter the bedroom.
Kayley turned on the light. "You know that I'm up. Get undressed, and come lie here and talk to me" Kayley said.
Ross undressed, put his clothes aside that he would organize later that day, and got into bed. Kayley clutched him like a teddy bear.
"You look awful. Was it at least worth it?" Kayley said.
"I was fine until earlier tonight. Mister P ordered me to come home. Please just let me lie here quietly" Ross said.
Kayley kissed Ross "Sorry, did not mean to bust your chops"
Ross slept at intervals. He had popped a migraine med, as he felt perhaps a usual night time headache coming on.
Early the next morning, Kayley got up and dressed for work. She kissed Ross and said. "Please no office, either rest, or Doctor" She said/
"No Doctor unless I'm truly sick" Ross said, as Kayley bolted out the door.
Ross kept sleeping and waking up,, until 9, when his cell phone, which was turned down, started ringing.
Was it good news, or bad news, and where was the call from?
That would be seen.
"Ross, I am not even sure if we will be doing a show during the next few days. We will be meeting with two, and maybe three, people who can, could, and might, sell us companies, fields, and or, entry into deals.
