FINAL LINES FROM THE STORY...
“Role Model”

Later, while having a beer at Houston’s, I said to Curt, “Congratulations, you were brilliant. But you have to choose. Which will it be, CEO of Lockwood and Knole or star of Tiki Town commercials? You decide, because obviously you can’t do both. He’s bound to figure it out.”

Curt gave me the oddest smile and then swallowed hard, “Are you sure?”

Above the room I could hear the intense beating of angelic wings. It must have been Fred.
