I was busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest, placating employees, overseeing production and sales, dealing with investors who wanted to pull their funding, and investigating the finance department.

There was still no progress with my dad’s situation. Harold was hindered, Russel disappeared, and I lost all contact with him.
