Rich Doctors

"Hello Effie, Jo, Katniss." I'd know that overly sweet voice anywhere. She would use it when she wanted something. It was most unlike her I'm in charge voice that she used with family, friends and coworkers on average days.

"YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!" I screamed out. Isn't there anything I could do without involving my sister. Yes, I have a successful career as a police officer but it wasn't a profession like being a physician. I was a good student, but Prim was a great student. I'm pretty, but Prim was beautiful. "PRIM!"

She leaned over, kissed me and said. "Oh Kit-Kat! Won't it be great working together?" She truly thought it would be great to work with her big sister. We've always hung out together, but we've never really done anything substantial. That was mostly by my choice.

"Yeah. It'll be a thrill a minute." I can't help but be sarcastic while I narrow my eyes at Jo. I'm convinced Jo knew all about this. I'll take care of her later. "I have a question. Why do we need Prim?"

"Katniss," Prim pouted, "you don't want to work with me?" She has used that look to get what she wanted all her life. She used it with my parents, her teachers, boys, hospital administrators, but she could bat those baby blues all she wanted, I was immune.

"Please Prim." Effie spoke up. "Let me answer that. First, Prim is excellent at finance and accounting."

"Yes Katniss. I've always been good with money. Since we were kids. You remember the lemonade stand?"

"You can't seriously compare a lemonade stand with a real business."

"Of course not silly, but the principles are the same." Prim looked at me. "And didn't we have fun doing that together."

"Well it would have been fun if it weren't for the restraining order."

"I don't think that is still in force."

"Maybe Peeta can look into that for us." Effie asked.

"I'm not asking Peeta to look into a twenty year old restraining order. And beside, this is about Prim being our treasurer." I raised my hands. "WHY!"

"And secondly, Prim has access to capital. We need capital to expand." Effie explained.

"Expand into what? What are we expanding into?" I asked.

Jo finally spoke up. "We want to expand into things other than children's books and the column. For example, tv, movies, merchandising."

"Jo, don't we have to actually do something before we can expand?"

"Oh we have Katniss, we have." I raised my eyebrows at that statement. "Fill me in." I sat back. "This should be interesting."

"First, Kit Kat Kop has great pre-orders. It will be one of the top children's books this year. Second, your column..."

"Which you write."

"Which I write, is a hit. Both in print and online." I nodded approvingly. "We have to plan for the next thing. Which is another book, a cartoon and merchandising."

"Okay, but how does Prim have access to capital?"

Prim turned to me. "Katniss, I'll sum it up in one word." The anticipation was killing me. "Rich doctors."

"That's two words Prim." Prim looked confused "You said you would sum it up in one word. Rich doctors is two words."
