The Glutton's Flip

Personal assistant: Yes, May 19th at 2:00 is free. Okay thank you. (stand up when she sees him) Mr. Pax.

Vince: Walk with me, (she follows behind) speak I don't have that much time.

P.A.: Your have a meeting at 9 tomorrow. Your father left you a message, says he's not going to be able to make it home in time for dinner so he needs your to take your mother out. The Tucker company still doesn't have the new design to the new smart phones we sent out a month ago and.

Vince: Anything for today? Do I have any meetings or designs approval to work on today?

P.A.: No, I scheduled all your important business to be handled on block days or weekends as you requested.

Vince: Good schedule a meeting with a man with the name Calarc Kathair from a low level Pax shipping company. Tell Jeffrey to deliver the message just in case he denies my request?

P.A.: Yes sir.

Vince: (entering his office and looks back to see her standing there writing notes she looks up) You can leave now.

P.A.: Oh, right.

Vince: (turns back to his desk, the double doors close he goes behind his to get)

An hour passes

P.A.: Mr. Pax, Mr. Kathair is conference room.

Vince: Ah, Mr. Kathair. Thank you for coming. (Comes in with a body guard)

Uncle: Of course I wouldn't, Um. Your wearing ah.

Vince: Is there something wrong with my appearance, Mr. Kathair?

Uncle: No sir, I've just heard rumors that the Pax CEO being a prodigy but I wasn't expecting you to be so, young.

Vince: Well I guess I am a little young for my position, but I am every capable. Anyway, back to the reason I sent for you. (Snaps at the guard signalling for the briefcase and envelope. Vince slides the envelope toward CK, he opens it seeing a pictures of Erin and Dexter  as children in a sandbox in walk looks like a indoor playground and class picture of them recently taken with their face circled in black sharpie) Do you know the children in those pictures. (CK nods)

CK: Their relatives of mine. The boy's name is Dexter, the girl.

Vince: Erin Cross. (He gets up and walks to the end of the long table) As you can see, I go to the same school as your. Relatives. And I wanted to make a deal with you for them.

CK: What do you mean by that?

Vince: I'll let you guess. (CK thinks about it then pops his head up)

CK: You want to by them?

Vince: (smiles) You are an idiot. But yes I have an interest of having them apart of my.

Vvo: Why am I lying to this pedafile.

Vince: Actually, I was lying. I was on my rooftop this morning with your niece, my girlfriend she told me all the dirty things you did to her last night. (He was surprised in Vince when said that) She was so embarrass to tell me the truth that I had to force her to submit to me. Soon after telling me that, she asked me not to fire you or kill you. So now I'm wondering what should I do to punish you instead, Uncle in law. Maybe I should tell the whole world about you screwing your sweet little niece!

CK: Shut the hell up, (he stand up sweating rapidly) she never told me to stop! Not even once! Everything I did, was consensual! I gave her everything she wanted out of me. And that girl isn't my neice, her and her brother we're adopted by my sister! They were found in a crack house near Sanchester. No one even knows if those two are realated or not!

Vvo: So Erin isn't his niece, then what's up with calling him uncle? (Vince opens the briefcase showing CK what was in the it) At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me if he is or isn't blood to her, I have a promise to uphold. (Two checks taped to the bottom and top halves of the briefcase one for 500,000 and the other for)

Vince: 500,000 for the boy 5.0 million for the girl. The total value of your secret love affair with your niece and the cruel and unusual punishment you have made your nephew suffer threw all these years with you as his uncle. And whatever else. You can have it if you sign all your rights to the Pax family.

CK: What makes you think I would do that, (looks up at him) even though they aren't family (gets cut off by his own voice heard from a tape recorder)

Vince: I should tell the whole world about you screwing your sweet little niece!

CK: Shut the hell up, she never told me to stop! Not even once! Everything I did, was consensual! I gave her everything she wanted out of me.

Vince: Do you just love the 21 century. We have record device that can be hooked up to the Bluetooth speakers in this conference room. You know what else is great? This whole building has wireless Bluetooth speakers from the inside out. So if I wanted to, I could just.

CK: Fine, I'll sign the papers.

Vince: (pushes the intercom) Dolores can you bring in the contract papers?

P.A.: I'll be there shortly sir.

Vince: Great thank you Dolores.

CK: There. Can I go now.

Vince: (sees the signed contract) Not yet, I want to play a game.

CK: What are trying  to do now?

Vince: Just a quick coin flip of heads or tails with your money on the line. And if you think this game is something that doesn't interest you, you can leave without your head and if it does you get one of the checks.

CK: But you said-

Vince: When did I say you could leave with both?

CK: You do have a good point. I except.

Vince: Good now, (points his first finger up to the ceiling) we will flip twice. First one for who will pick heads or tails for the second. For example, let's say you when the first and you say 5.0 million for heads and 500,000 for tails. No matter what both of us will win if that were the case because the money will be separated. But this only an example this might not even happen but it is an option. Does that seem fair.

CKvo: (nods) All of this is by chance, but I pick right the first time the ball will be in my court and I can leave here with a Pax check in my pocket.

Vince: Great! Then let's do this. Do you have a quarter?

CKvo: (hands him one straight from his pocket) This kid is an idiot to one of the biggest tech company's in the world, right after Oasis.

Vince: Jeffrey can you do the honors of flipping this.

Jeffrey: Yes sir Vince. (He flips it then smacks it onto his hand)

Vince: Wait. I forgot to say one thing before. Mr. Kathair, there is another example to this game. If one of us were to put all the money on one side all the money would go to the person that calls the right side if you don't call it, your left with nothing from this game. Not one cent. I call it "The Gluttons Flip".

CKvo: Wait, is he planning on using that tactic? Then that means the first flip matters most.

Previously

Vince: Wait. I forgot to say one thing before. Mr. Kathair, there is another example to this game. If one of us were to put all the money on one side all the money would go to the person that calls the right side if you don't call it, your left with nothing from this game. Not one cent. I call it "The Gluttons Flip".

CKvo: Wait, is he planning on using that tactic? Then that means the first flip matters most.

Jeffrey: Call your flip.

CKvo: What should I do?

Vince: I call.

CK: Heads! (Vince looks at him)

Vince: Well I guess I pick tails.

Vince: Have a good life Mr. Kathair!

CK: You too Mr. Pax.

CKvo: That was so (pulls out the check for 500,000) close. The first flip landed in my favor so I choose to separated the money for the sake of my sanity.

After School

(Outside)

Dexter: Hey Erin!

Erin: (stops for him to catch up with her) Oh it's you.

Dexter: Yeah, me. Your brother.

Erin: Tsk. What brother you are.

Dexter: You should seriously consider joining a sport or two, you run so fast.

Erin: Of course I do, if I don't people would stop me from getting to train.

Dexter: What's wrong with that, losers would kill for that kind of attention. Your the twin sister of the captain of the football team. And you want to be invisible?

Erin: Let me make this very simple for your jock brain to understand. Number one, that football team you lead, sucks. Two, we're fraternal twins, so all the mistakes that you do make, and that team that you love to brag about. Has nothing to do with me. We're just siblings born on the same day. Three, I'm still skeptical about that, I mean we look alike but I wouldn't go as far as saying we are siblings. Maybe distant cousins that were born on the same day month and time.

Dexter: (hear screeches of car tires from afar coming closer) Not to cut off your rant but, do you hear that? (They both listen very carefully to the screeches become louder) It coming get out of the way! (Pushes her into a small corner store called is "Phill-Her Up") (a long limousine turns the corner and hits the light pole where they were standing near before)(the clerk start yelling in a different language he starts swinging a bat and they run out the door) Alright, alright! Didn't you just see us get hit by a (looks at it in disbelief, because he's only seen limos at weddings in funerals) opal looking limousine?

Erin: (she pops her head up) Opal? (She starts to get angry she begins to clench her fist) Damnit Vince! You could've killed us!

Vince: (pops his head out the sunroof) I asked Jeffrey to drive as reckless as possible if that meant go faster. How did you know it was me?

Erin: the interior of your Maserati was opal the outside was red. Plus your cufflinks are the color opal as well.

Vince: you're very observant, good job. Anyway here's my came back was for you, so get in.

Erin: Wha-

Dexter: she's walking with her brother right now, she'll have to call you later. (grabs her arm and walks off) (Vince jumps out the sunroof in front of them both)(gun to his head) Sorry but she's not going anywhere with you Dexter.

Dexter: Get over our way, we're going home! (Goes around him)

Erin: Hey, wait a minute Dex!

Vince: Erin! If you stay with me, you'll never have to go home again. (her head pops up when she replayed what he said to her in her head she couldn't help but to fall to the ground)

Dexter: Rinrin?

Erin: Are you saying (she gets back up and pulls her arm from Dexter) I think your saying?!

Vince: I found away, that wasn't so flashy.

Erin: What do you mean by that?

Vince: Do I to spell it out for you? (She tilts not knowing where this conversation will end up)(he sighs pulls his head back up ) Erin and Dexter Cross, (points at them both) you two are legally, mine! (Silence for moments)

Dexter: (Starts to laughing in disbelief)

Erin: (she begins mumbling to herself) VP must've bribed uncle to sell us both. If he was smart he would've shoved uncle's transgressions down his throat making him....

Dexter: Are you seriously believing this load of crap.

Erin: Okay, I get now. Can ask, why did you buy both of us. Instead of buying just me?

Vince: Because. Your annoying when you start to care about about the well-being of other men. Plus, I'll be doing a lot of unholy things to that body of yours I can't let you go insane because you can't talk to anyone about it.

Dexter: Unholy.

Vince: If you don't believe me, I can show you the video of your Uncle giving you both to me. (Take out his phone and throws it to Dexter underhandedly)

Dexter: That's uncle.

Vince: Here's your check, (handing him it then leans in and whispers something that made CK get look scared and angry at the same time) Oh don't be that way, it's some information for the future. (Smiles innocently and CK move away from him even more)

Dexter: So, he really sold us to you. Fine then, you can keep me but not Rinrin!

Vince: (looks up at him chuckles) But I only bought you because of your sister.

Dexter: What if I buy freedom from you?

Vince: Both you and your sister's value has doubled in cost. I'm afraid I'd be close to impossible to buy her from me. Plus, (gives Dexter an evil and sligh look to show how capable he is)I'd just keep asking for more almost like an occasional prize.

Dexter: I don't care, just tell me how much we owe you. I'll get a part time-

Vince: You cost me 500,000 USD by the doubled cost if being mine. You now cost 1.0 million USD, and your is ten times that. If you think you can get the money for I get attached to her I guess you can keep her. But for now both of you owe me a lot of money.
