Chapter Three

Megan! I need to see Josh!"

"I don't know. It's hard to get a hold of him every since he's been made CEO of Harpo Productions."

"WHAT? When did that happen?"

"He's been CEO at least five years now, but he's worked for Harpo Productions for the last twenty years. I'll do what I can but I can't guarantee he can get back with you today."

"Tell him it's an emergency!"

"Let me call Mindy and see what she can do."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Drake, I got a hold of Mindy. She and Allison are going to ride up. They'll be here in a couple of hours. She got a hold of Josh, and when he's finished with his meeting, he's going to fly here on his helicopter, but it might not be until tonight, because he's got some very important business to take care of today." Megan said.

"Helicopter!" Drake yelped.

"Drake! I told you his position! He's doing very well! You should see his mansion! And he's got the coolest car. I don't know exactly kind of Mercedes it is, but I know he paid almost $200,000 for it! And wait till you see Mindy's!"

"Well… where's my car?"

"It's downstairs in the driveway, like always." She said, and before she even finished Drake was heading downstairs.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Drake stood staring at the Oldsmobile in the driveway.

"A mini-van! You've got to be kidding!"

"Hey, you got a good deal on it!" Megan replied from behind him.

"Oh my goodness what have I turned into?"

"Drake, you really need to get to work. I know your not feeling well, mentally at least, but you really can't get fired from another job. With all the money you have to pay to your ex-wives, you need to get there now!"

"But I don't even know where I work!"

"The Premiere, idiot. You've been working there for ten months now! And this is the longest you've held a job in a long time, so don't screw it up now!"

"The Premiere is still open after all these years?"

"Yes. But now it's a discount theater. You can see a movie now for only $6.00! Of course I think I'd rather pay regular price because the place is a dump! Oh, I'm sorry, Drake, did I say that out loud?"

"What's happened to me?"

"Whatever it is, Drake, get to work. Mom and Dad can barely walk, let alone support you for the rest of your pathetic life."

"Where are my keys?"

"Good grief! I'll go get them!" She shook her head, walking back inside.

Returning, she handed Drake a set of keys.

"No! These can't be mine! AARP?"

"Well don't you remember Jared gave it to you yesterday, since you just turned 50. That way you can get your discount when you go to eat at Denny's. He knows how much you like the Grand-slam breakfast."

"I'm gonna kill that kid when he gets home."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Man that place really was a dump!" Drake stated as he walked back inside the house. "I wonder how I can handle working there!"

"Josh! Drake's home!" Mindy yelled. Josh came out of the kitchen and walked up to Drake and gave him a big hug.

"Drake! Mindy said something's wrong. You're not feeling well? I got here as soon as I could! What's going on?"

"Well, for one thing, I'm 33 years older than I was yesterday!"

"I don't understand, Drake. What do you mean?"

"I mean, I closed my eyes when I was seventeen, and when I woke up I was fifty with eight ex-wives and a son who calls me Hack!"

"Well, you are half a century old…" Josh stated. Drake picked up a pillow and whacked Josh on the side of the head.

"Well, I don't know about the seventeen thing, but I remember warning you about all eight wives."

"Well tell me about yourself. What did I miss? I don't remember anything!"
