Playing Chess

Dane

He was shadowing his father through the day. Through the week. Learning the ropes, as his father said. The whole thing was surreal. It was remarkable how similar their days were. But while Dane had spent all his time talking to others about thwarting criminal behavior, keeping others safe, and working around the constant technology loopholes, his father was always seeking the secret in—how to place pressure on those he wanted to move, how to move around those that might get in his way, and how to use the people he had like tools to help him achieve… whatever it was he was trying to win.

Dane sat in the third meeting that morning "looking intimidating" as his father had instructed, and otherwise was free to let himself marvel and where he was and what it meant. 

And think about Felix's offer.
