Although he really didn't want to leave the bedroom, he knew that there were things that he must attend to before they could leave the safety of the Denver house and return to the estate. After a quick shower and shave, he pulled on a pair of jean, a polo and slipped into a pair of deck shoes. He didn't usually go this casual, but the house was on minimal staff and no one else was expected.

In his office he again dialed the secure phone.

"Tom? Good. Secure?"

"Everthing taken care of?

"Any flashback? Questions? "

"Excellent. A good clean job. We will be flying back to this afternoon. Have the car at the airport at 4pm. Alert the staff. Now, I want you to start a new project. I want the security on the estate beefed up. You are the expert, do what is necessary. I want it to be so tight that a mouse can't fart without someone knowing. No budget. I want the best that can be had."

"Good. Now, the party is this next weekend. Security has to be extra tight. Some of the guests will have their own security and you will have to liason with them."

"Also, as soon as this party is over, we are going to start liquidating the estate and all the property I own in the area. We are moving the entire operation. I will let you know where when I have found the place. My plan is to be out of the area completely in at least 6 months."

"Yes, everything. We will move the staff and everything. Sell all the real estate. Its time to find something more private, bigger, better and more suited to my future plans."

"Very good. I will see you this evening. Be prepared to meet with me after dinner. By the way, you are expected for dinner. Formal attire. I will introduce you to Abby and Eve at that time."

Hanging up the phone he stood looking out the window as the snow began to fall.

Well, That is that. The wheels have been set in motion. Next weekend I introduce Abby to all my closest friends. Then we start the hunt for a new home. A new start.

Turning he rang the intercom.

"Get breakfast ready in 15 minutes. Eve, get you little slut butt in gear and get Abby ready for breakfast. We leave again at noon."
