Life and Its Little Oddities

By:

*Chapter 2*

* *

*The day for her interview started with a lesson on driving the S63 AMG
Benz. Dana was driving around the city and it was a blast the way the car
handled. It was a very high performance machine. By the time she had done
the course on maintenance she was ready for the interview. *

* *

*She got to her friends house and took a long bath. It was almost 3 PM and
she got dressed and did her hair. Then she got Kelly ready for her part. The
two beautiful ladies went out to her old van and headed to meet John. Both
were surprised at the small apartment house he lived in. It was very nice
just old and not big. The size inside was also another shock as it was half
packed up for moving. *

* *

*“Sorry ladies I want out of here in the worst way. So I have been packing
and getting ready. Now I would love to sit down and have some food with the
two of you. So to keep things fair I’ll drive my car and you can follow me.
That way you can leave at any point you get upset with me. I don’t want you
to feel trapped in any way.”*

* *

*Kelly looked at him with a set of bright blue eyes. “John you are just like
my grandpa was. I just knew you were going to be like that.” She ran over to
him and hugged his legs.*

* *

*John squatted down to her level. “Little one I am pleased to get a hug from
such a beautiful lady. But your mother may not approve and we don’t want her
up set with me.”*

* *

*Kelly looked him right in his eyes and smiled so big it lit the room. “Mom
always let’s me make up my own mind about who I hug and kiss. In my book
John your a keeper and I want to know you a lot better.”*

* *

*That brought a smile to the mans face. “Sugar your for sure a keeper and
some man is going to be very lucky to get you. Just be willing to hold out
for what you really want. Don’t ever accept second best or less than what
you want.”*

* *

*Dana was pleased to see how Kelly and John talked with each other. It was
like how she talked with her dad. “OK guys lets go have some dinner. If you
want John I’ll drive and you just direct me where to go.”*

* *

*“I would like to go to the Cracker Barrel and have some quite time talking
if that is OK?”*

* *

*They got into her van and she drove following direction. Once on Hillsboro
they got to the restaurant quickly. It took no time to get seated and start
talking. John gave them a pretty good background of his life and of the
money he had won. The idea he had of building a safe area for what he was
sure would happen. *

* *

*Dana had a great deal of respect now for John. “Well we see things pretty
much the same way. Dad always said one day this country would fall apart and
that is happening now.”*

* *

*“I am looking for land first of all and I mean a lot of it. I want around
10,000 acres to start with. I should be able to get that in 3-4 small
valleys. It must be backed up by national park or national forest land. When
government falls apart that land is up for grabs. So for our people to have
land we must be in a position to obtain more of it.”*

* *

*Dana did not like the sound of what she was hearing from John. “I keep
hearing you don’t think you will see this to the end?”*

* *

*“Look dear I am 67 and have had double bypass surgery and one heart attack.
So I don’t bull shit myself into seeing a longer life than what is really
possible. I have a sugar problem and have had it for 24 years now. That
requires pills and insulin just to keep it in check. So I accept the fact of
the downside of my body’s condition. If I can help some people survive and
learn during what is coming I have met my goal.”*

* *

*Dana was now smiling at John. She saw he was honest and just wanted to make
things better for as many people as he could. At 67 he did not expect to out
live the money he now had. “I don’t understand why your taking this path?”*

* *

*“If I died tomorrow there are almost none who would notice I was gone. My
wife died ten years ago and I am only really close to my nephew and his
family. The government would eat up most of the money and it would do no one
any good. Giving it to family would destroy them and that is a proven fact.
Just look at all the people who inherited money. So I am going to do my best
to assure that at least some people have good lives after I am long gone.”*

* *

* Kelly scooted closer to John and was holding his arm now. “John I don’t
want to lose you like I did grandpa. Even if you don’t hire mommy I want to
be where you are.”*

* *

*“Little one I am not going anyplace right now. As for your mother she has
the job if she wants it. But I am not so sure that is a good deal for her at
all. She is a beautiful young lady and has eyes that a man could drown in.
Being tied to an old fart like me is not a way for her to find someone
special for both of you.”*

* *

*Kelly launched herself into John’s arms and hugged him. “Thank you John and
I promise to be very good when we travel. But we need you and not someone
else.”*

* *

*“Sugar to get a hug like that you could be bad and I would forgive you.”*

* *

*Dana had watched all of this and saw a very loving and lonely man sitting
there. It made her more sure she liked John and knew the three of them would
have fun together. But she knew she needed to be careful, as he did not
trust people very much. Like her dad he started people with a small
investment of trust and it was their actions that made it grow or disappear.
*

* *

*“Now Kelly you watch how you jump all over John. He does not know you yet
and has not seen how you act when pleased or excited. So you need to learn
about him and what he likes and does not like.”*

* *

*“Yes mommy. I am sorry John if I did something wrong.”*

* *

*“Little one you did nothing wrong at all. I am just getting older now and
did not expect such and out pouring of love. You are a ball of energy and I
enjoy seeing it explode. It has been far to many years since I have seen
that. So just be ready for this poor old man to have a heart attack if you
catch me at the wrong time.” He was laughing now. *

* *

*Kelly cocked her head and looked into his eyes. “I hope your kidding me
John. There is no way I want to hurt you.”*

* *

*He hugged her and was please with how serious she looked. “Yes dear I am
giving you a hard time. But that is part of the fun two people can have when
kidding each other. Listen to what I say and how I say it, then think about
what I said. You will learn from my tone of voice and how I act what is real
and what is play.”*

* *

*They had eaten and enjoyed some desert as John could have sugar free pie
here. Dana was now ready to hear what the plan was? “OK what am I to do
tomorrow and how do we get this started?”*

* *

*“I will have the car sent to you tomorrow. For what they got they can
deliver it to you. You will need to discuss with Kelly’s teachers what will
need to be done about her schoolwork. Pack a bag for each of you and I will
have one packed for me when your ready to pick me up. Don’t pack a lot as we
will be buying a lot of new clothing as we go.”*

* *

*“I should be able to pick you up at say noon. So where do you want to go
first?”*

* *

*“The lawyers will be the first stop. See the two men sitting over to your
left? They have been watching us far to close. My guess is they are security
people and I am not paying for them. My agreement with the law firm says I
must approve any expense before the money can be spent. So I am going to
have a little talk with Ms Williams. She has over stepped her bounds. This
is why I hate attorneys so much.”*

* *

*“She wanted me to carry a gun and take driving classes. I have black belts
in martial arts and don’t need a gun. So I refused to agree to that. I have
taken the state police classes and feel that should do for most needs. But
she said that she was going to take some other steps. I did not know what or
if you wanted to know? But she is a very conniving lady. I owe you and not
her, so everything will be completely above board with you.”*

* *

*John stood and walked over to the men. “Now lets get something clear here.
I am not paying you or approving payment for you. Let your boss know Ms
Williams has stepped way out of line. If you try to continue to follow me
and cover my home, I will have the police arrest you. For you two it is
better to just get up and leave now, so we don’t have additional problems.”*

* *

*The men were shocked and then someone turned the lights on. They knew John
saw who they were to be working for and he did not want it. “This is not the
first time this has happened with that woman. We will just leave and let you
handle it tomorrow.”*

* *

*Once John returned to the table Dana saw his smile. “That was smooth and
very polite John.”*

* *

*“They were following orders and felt they were in the right. Now here is a
Visa check card for you to use as needed. You will pay for everything with
it and I mean everything. That will cover gas, food, clothing, motels and
any other expenses. Get a couple thousand out of the bank in cash for when
it is needed and keep it on you. You can withdraw $1,000 a day in cash.”*

* *

*Dana just looked at John. “You understand the access you just handed me?”*

* *

*“Look I just hired you and said I trust you at a basic level right now. I
can see any card spending as it happens online. Once you get me home I’ll
give you a copy of your employment agreement after you read and sign it. It
sets your minimum income and provides you with directions for spending. Your
entire job is spelled out and clearly, so there are no misunderstandings. As
a part of the deal I will provide Kelly with a trust fund for her to draw
from someday. But that will only be in gold and sliver coins. That is not in
the agreement, but I will add it if you wish for it to be in writing?”*

* *

*“I appreciate your offer for Kelly. But that is not required John.”*

* *

*“Dana her time has value the same as yours does. She brightens up my world
and that is worth a lot to me. So for me it is something important.”*

* *

*They walked out of the restaurant and all were smiling. Once at John’s he
got her to read and sign her agreement. Then she gave him back his copy. “OK
now I am employed for at least a year. So I will see you in the early
afternoon. That is if the dealer gets off his tail and gets the car to me.”*

* *

*After Dana and Kelly left he called the dealer and made sure they were
ready to deliver the car when called. He dropped the managing partner an
e-mail and asked to see him in the afternoon that next day. Then read the
news on the direction the world was heading on an economic front. That was
not good and there was no way any politician was going to make it better. *

* *

*The US was becoming a very socialist country in many ways and fast. But
giving money away did not improve the economy. That was built on jobs and
jobs came from company investments. From what he could see there was no way
the country would last longer than a year or two at best. Government was
doing its job of destroying what built the nation.*

* *

*John headed to bed and went to sleep quickly. The next morning after a
small breakfast he packed a bag. There was enough clothing for a week and
then he would buy more as needed. Money for sure was no problem. After taxes
he would have well over fifty million. But it frosted him that the federal
and state governments got around thirty eight million just for existing. *

* *

*At twelve thirty Dana showed up with her smiling face. “They did show up
this morning and dropped off the car for me. That was the first shock.
Second Ms Williams called me and told me I was to say nothing about our
conversation. I told her when asked I had already told you about it.”*

* *

*“Don’t be concerned at all about her. I e-mailed her boss for a meeting
today and I am sure he talked with her. Once I am done she will not be
involved with us in any way. People get one strike when starting to build a
trust factor with me based on money. She blew hers when she agreed to one
thing and did another.”*

* *

*Kelly had been sitting in the back seat doing her schoolwork. “Hi John I am
getting my work done online and this is better than sitting in a boring
class. I will get to be computer schooled the rest of this year.”*

* *

*“You will be very much into computer schooling if you and mommy stay with
me. I will have classes for you each year based on you abilities. Grades are
fine for average students, but they tend to hurt very bright ones. So you
may be at different levels in different subjects.”*

* *

*“That sounds cool and I am doing work one grade ahead of my age now. But it
is easy and I really don’t have to work hard to make A’s.”*

* *

*They pulled up to the attorney’s offices and John got out. “Dana you two
stay here please I will not be but a few minutes.” *

* *

*The discussion lasted less then ten minutes and John came back to the car.
“OK head towards the mountains now. I have two pieces of land to look at and
we will have to do some major outfitting for these. So Waynesville is the
best town close by to find rooms for tonight. I am sure Ashville will be far
to busy.”*

* *

*Dana used the cars built in communications system to set up rooms for them.
The directions came up on the screen for her to follow. So they got to the
motel quickly without getting lost. *

* *

*Over the next few days a lot of land was looked at and turned down. Finally
John found an auction of a coal company and its lands in Southwest Virginia.
It was not far from Grundy Virginia and well into the mountains. The land
area was over twenty thousand acres, but it was the coal below ground, that
had in the past had value. Now days it had little value due to the
governments actions.*

* *

*Dana, Kelly and John looked over the land and knew this would be a place
that could be defended. There was just one road in and out so traffic would
be no problem. The town had been owned by the mine and for the ten million
purchase price it now belonged to John. *

* *

*They sat in the old owners house and looked over the small town. The
company had built a small landing strip just outside of town and it would
handle up to two engine aircraft. It had none now, but that could be fixed.
But it did have underground fuel storage. The town also had three filling
stations and one fuel dealer. In all there was a base here for starting what
he was looking to do. *

* *

*The company set up in North Carolina bought the mine property. It then
quickly dropped all mining permits for coal, in trade for an agreement not
to hold the new company liable for any environmental problems. Now John set
up a mining group to cut into the mountains and build storage rooms. Second
was to buy four large wind turbines and start getting them erected and
hooked into the electric grid. *

* *

*John flew down to Norfolk and stared hiring security and engineering
personnel as the Navy was reducing their force. He had been able to hire
fifty three seals as security and twenty Seabees to run construction. The
seals were charged with obtaining enough weapons and ammunition for a six
hundred person force and the construction people getting the equipment
needed to do any construction job. This was going to be a long term project
and he need to get off the mark fast.*

* *

*Each navy person hired believed just as John did and wanted someplace safe
for their families. Commander Dave Weathers was the senior seal and took
command of the security force. Because John owned the town he took over as
police chief for now. *

* *

*The laying out of farming areas and places to grow livestock were at the
top of a list of many projects. The construction was in two areas. One was
the power production and building of secure storage rooms in the mountains.
The other was for future needs for food, meat and fuel. But with three
valleys belonging to the company there was room. The bank here belonged to
John’s company and all funds left were moved into it. So control was getting
tighter.*

* *

*The armored car pulled up in front of the bank and unloaded the gold and
silver coins he had purchased. When the truck left John had them moved to
one of the vaults in the mountainside. He now had six of these and had
started buying dehydrated food supplies to fill in where needed. But here
the rooms could be drawn down to zero oxygen and inert gasses used to keep
the food safe for a long time. *

* *

*The summer has passed quickly and now fall was here.*

* *

*“John what are your plans now for the coming winter?” Dana was in her I
want mode.*

* *

*“Well the way I see it now we stay here in this house for the winter. Our
new home will not be done before spring. We just had so much to do before we
lost the warm period. Inside the mountain it does not care if it is ninety
above or below outside. The temp stays the same inside. So people will be
working all winter on the different areas inside it. The first that must be
completed is the computer room and living area. I have servers and mainframe
super computers to install now. They all need to be checked out some need
repairs, but I need the computer hardware and software people to run them.”*

* *

*Now Dana smiled at John. “I have two very good friends who are major
hackers. Neither have ever been caught and are not into stealing from
anyone. But there are a lot of people looking for them. They are good with
both hardware and software so you might want to talk with them?”*

* *

*He spent the next three hours explaining what he wanted to do. “Now you go
interview them and see if they are what we need. If so offer them a job and
safety for them to work from. I bought a satellite for us to work from which
cuts out anyone knowing where we are. The company that owned is was broke
and sold it cheaply. We are always connected to it and cannot be traced.”*

* *

*“What did we need it for?” Dana was curious now.*

* *

*“To assure us communications later, as that will be gone for most places.”*

* *

*“Your see a major disruption of all industry don’t you?”*

* *

*“Yes and of almost all governments services. Things are going to be very
bleak over much of the world. This is a global disaster and a man made one
as well. It took poor planning by government, poor judgment by consumers and
lots of greed to bring this about. But spending by government without having
money make these things happen.”*

* *

*Dana had learned much from John and she saw how this happened. Not being
able to pay off the national debt was going to bring the government down.
The Arab world was going to cut off oil supplies, China was going to stop
selling to the US except for gold and silver That meant a loss of the
ability to survive, as much of the industrial base had left for other
countries. The US just did not have many of the needed base industries any
more. *

* *

*The state governments would also fail as taxes they needed to survive were
going to disappear. This would trickle down to the smallest government body.
Now what John was building was a small government body where it acted like a
large one. But it was backed by gold and sliver money. He had bought over 25
million in coins and 5 million in bars for the bank. He had millions in
food, computers, the satellite, land, buildings and equipment. The
investment had been heavy and fast by any standard.*

* *

*The final steps to be taken were started now. *
