Chapter 3: Coming back together

Meanwhile, three towns over, in Raccoon City at Moore Motor Complex; HQ of Moore Motor Group, Two range Rovers pulled up behind a black Limousine.

Richard was making love to Jane and his CCTV network pinged his phone.

Upon seeing the plates he stooped and Jane asked, "Why did you stop?"

"Dad is here. Now go hide," replied Richard to her.

A bodyguard in a suit pulled the door. There was a Caucasian man looking at a picture of him and a little boy, in an American football uniform. He smiled as he looked at it.

The bodyguard then said, "Excuse me, sir. But we reached Moore Motor Complex sir. And my sources say Master Richard is here."

The man then stepped out of his car, fixed his jacket, and said, "Thank you, Timothy."

His security got out of the Range Rovers and followed him as he walked to the Main building that was a cube 30 floors high with a Cellphone pole on top.

He then proceeds to the Ground floor. There were a lot of cars on show. There were men selling cars. They then walked through the metal detectors and headed to the elevators.

A man, with Supervisor on his Work jumpsuit, said, "Hey you guys can't be back here."

"It’s ok Frank. It’s just my dad," replied Richard Moore as he came from behind the receptions desk.

This revealed the Caucasian man to be Michael Moore, Billionaire Tech Genius and Founder/Executive President of Moore Corporations.

A few moments later

They went to Richards’s office on the 30th floor. It had a wall filled with Televisions showing various stock options.

Then a board table with 12 cheers. And the floor had the Moore Engineering Group logo, a red anchor, on the floor.

"You have a nice setup here. It’s a pity that I had to hear about it from my private investigators that I hire to track down my son that vanished 2 years ago.

And dropped off the radar," replied Michael as he folded his arms and stared at Richard.

Richard chuckled and said, "I was honestly hoping you would be happy for me. And not be a judgemental bastard. But that is in your nature dad.

After all, you haven't cared about anyone but yourself since, mom died. That was..."

"26 years ago. In two days," Michael interrupted and quickly told him.

"And you know that because 34 years ago, two days from today you started Moore Holdings PLC. The only thing you care about is your company," replied Richard to him.

"You disappeared from Hawaii. This is after 2 months of construction on the Lt. John Bridgton Navy Base you designed and built.

And then you go off the radar," replied Michael to him.

"And you were worried? Was it about the project or me," asked Richard to him?

"You of course," Michael quickly told him.

Richard chuckled and said, "That is great. You almost had me for a second. But I know the only reason you are here is to absorb Moore Engineering Group into Moore Corporations.

It has nothing to do with me. You care about no one but yourself and the Spartacus Syndicate."

"That's not true. I was there for you. I gave you a great life. You have summers in Hawaii or Jamaica and winters in Rio.

I bailed you out of jail so many times. I did it with no complaints. You know why?" Michael quickly asked him.

Richard then said, "No! Is it because you love me?"

"Yes! I did it for you. I did it because I love you. You have a great life," replied Michael to him.

"Yea, the best thing money can buy. But not you, had you cared for someone else Celia would have married you.

But your vendetta with your parents destroyed that. The Spartacus Syndicate means more to you than any of us," replied Richard to him.

"I know you spoke to Tabitha and Joseph," replied Michael as he looked at the trophies of the Moore Racing team.

Richard exhaled and said, "Well you weren't going to tell me the truth. He reached out to my girlfriend and I listened."

"So he reached out to your wife/baby mother. And you believe in his lies. That saw you disappeared from me putting the Moore Legacy firmly in stone for you and my grandson. Just because of the lies a treacherous cartel boss told you," replied Michael to him.

"Well, at least he tells me the truth. Rather than drag me off in the middle of the night to another state. But you refuse to tell me why we hate my grandparents, my uncle, and your cousins. I know it’s not the drugs as you are a black market dealer in everything illegal," replied Michael to him.

"Well, considering you have narcissistic grandfather and control grandmother. And they are not like me in any way.

And considering the state, I was in when I ran away to China with your mother I wanted to find you. But you can believe him," replied Michael to Richard.

"What is the truth? What should I believe? When are you going to tell me the truth? How did you find me," asked Richard to him.

"I spent 25 Million and countless hours talking to people. Two years later here I am.

And for the record, I am happy you started Moore Engineering Group with the Subsidiaries: Moore Motor Group, Moore Steel & Manufacturing Co., Moore Contractors Limited, Moore Development Limited, Moore Arts & Gallery Llc., Moore Hardware & Lumber, Moore Gas Company Limited, and Moore Advertising Llc.

I proud of you, I worried but proud," replied Michael to him.

"Don't do that! Don't change the subject," replied Richard as he got a glass of wine.

"I am proud of you. And what you become. But it’s time to come home to help me rebuilt a family again," Michael told him as he held him.

"Are dying," Richard quickly asked as he looked at him.

Michael let him go and said, "No am not dying. Nor am I high or charmed. I am just a bit sorry. I had your mother for 6 years while we were on the run. And she gave me you. Then in 3 years, it went from bad to worst until she died.

I promised her to always take care of you. But the last 26 years of my life have been all about revenge. And, a few days ago it was my birthday. I had no one that saw me for me. I missed you and the family I had."

"Aunt Jacqueline finally abandoned you," Richard quickly asked him.

"Look! I hit rock bottom 5 years. I had a daughter and a fiancée. But my vendetta cost me that. And no one wants me anymore. So I taught at least start at the beginning of it all. But you vanished before I could say anything.

Now here I am. I know I have 26 years too late but I love you son. And I am proud of you," replied Michael to him

"I know you are. Which is why I accepted the deal," replied Richard to him and Michael jumped up for joy.

Richard then quickly said, "I have a few conditions. Like one no DNA on my kid or checking out my wife. Two I run Moore Engineering Group it doesn't affect budget I don't want to hear it. And lastly, I won't spy on your family for you."

"So you know where they are," asked Michael to him.

"Yes! Grandpa and Grandma are in Colombia. And Uncle Richmond is there as the COO of Caracas International Holdings Limited. So you have nothing to worry about as Aunt Jacqueline is harmless," replied Richard to him.

Michael then quickly asked, "Then how come you didn't call me when they moved all of their company operations a year ago?"

"Because I have a wife and son. And I didn't want you to be controlling my life," replied Richard to him.

"No, I don't! I simply guide your life. I do it because I love you and when I die my empire is yours unless I find more kids. And 45% of my empire is in the Financial & Business sector. And it accounts for 75% of my wealth.

Now when you take over and don't have the knowledge of it you could lose. And I want you to win," replied Michael to him.

"Dad I told you. My dream is to build Moore Engineering Group. And lead it to greater things. You want an heir. Knock a girl up," replied Richard to him.

"I am too old for babies. I am a grandfather and a cartel boss," replied Michael to him.

"I want my only life like you did from grandma and granddad. They wanted you to be a musicologist and you wanted to become a Mechanical/Computer/Robotics Engineer. They got you an MBA in Corporate Finance at age 6, through their control

But you hated Wall Street or Abuja. You graduated MIT with a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering," Richard quickly told him.

Michael then said, "And your grandparents were furious. As he wanted a musicologist and Stockbroker for a son. Engineering doesn't pay he said. But look at me now."

"When he wouldn't see the reason you left and went to China. Then you started Moore Technology Limited. And you got Ph.D. in Computer and Robotics Engineering from the Beijing Institute of Technology. Plus when I was 10 I gained an MBA in Business Management from Oxford University.

And moved to Seattle where you became Michael Moore, billion tech wizard, and Philanthropist. Now I don't want to be his son. But Richard Moore Engineering Guru. And then I tell people I am your son," replied Richard as Michael laughed.

"Point is I love. But Seattle is your home. But I am the King in Raccoon City. I mean they only had one company a year ago but I popped up launching a series of micro-companies. They love me," replied Richard to him.

Michael exhaled and said, "Look I missed you. And I have a large 10-acre estate. And I would love to have all my kids and love ones in one place. I mean put that $200 Million Mansion to good use."

"I have a life here dad," replied Richard to him.

Michael then said, "You are the only family I have. Your aunt Jacqueline is on my dad's payroll as she was flying to Bogotá a lot this past year. So you are all I have."

"Dad I am 30 years old. And you are 46 years old with a huge house. You need a woman and possibly adopt a kid. I say adoption because I don't know if you how to have sex," replied Richard to him.

Michael chuckled and said, "Richard I am not looking for a wife. My life is perfectly happy and I don't need a woman."

"Yea! But when you are ready I can hook you up," replied Richard to him.

Michael hugged him and then said, "Bring your wife by the house Sunday. I want to throw a little barbecue. I am hoping to make up for a lost time. Baby steps."

Richard nodded and said, "Ok dad. But I need you to have an open mind about her."

"So she is older than you," asked Michael to him.

"She is not half my age. She is 32 years old and she not after my money," replied Richard to him.

"I didn't say anything. But you might want to look into a prenuptial agreement. The last thing you need is she using your wealth or kids against you," replied Michael to him.

Richard then said, "Some of us believe in relationships. And they don't tuck and run in trouble."

"Look there is a lot about your mom and me that you don't understand," replied Michael to him.

Richard then said, "I know. All this occurred when I was four. Whatever happened between you two saw you going to Cuba for three months. You returned and mom moved out. And I avoided her and my grandparents.

Then she started working for Moore Entertainment Group as the Marketing Manager.

And then you were angry with her. And 4 months later she dies in a car accident. We moved to Seattle a week later and you hired a private mercenary army to protect us. And spend US$ 50 on security features for us.

And you never filled in the blanks."

Michael exhaled and said, "I know you want answers. But I guarantee you it will be the worst. So let it go. And for that year I take a lot of blame for it. But the less you know the better."

"See you Sunday dad," replied Richard as he left.

He left the room.

As Michael reached the door his phone rang and he answered saying, "Samantha what's up?"

"I got the portfolio but it came with additional holdings and conditions," replied Samantha as she looked on a 10 story building.

Michael then asked, "What conditions are we talking about?"

"You have to see it to understand. I texted you an address so you need to be here in an hour," replied Samantha.

"I have a meeting with someone important. So I will meet in two hours," replied Michael as he walked to his limousine.

Samantha then said, "Fine I will see you then."

Michael hung up his phone.

From his 30 story window, Richard observed Michael leaving and said, "He is gone you can come out now."

Jane then came out in two-piece lingerie and asked, "Why didn't you tell him about me?"

"Because my father is a single 46-year-old man that hasn't gotten sex since he was 41 years old. You are 2 years older than me and the head of a pornographic Entertainment company. I am a 20-year-old with a net worth of US$ 94 Billion.

My father will believe you are a porn star taking advantage of me. And he would run a DNA test on Ryan quicker than you can say amen.

So we need him to fall in love with your sister and then we get freedom. And my sister gets her dad again and we are all happy," replied Richard as held her on the walls.

She then said, "We are not looking to rob your father. I just want my girl to be happy and Sharon to have her father. And once we unite them the family goes back together. Look my dad is not a bad guy.

Yea he cheated on mom and then abandoned a pregnant woman. This is probably what killed her. And having a woman out there with a Kid is bad. And after two years of been angry at him. I think it’s best if we unite them."

"Yea! And your sister will make a great addition to the business. Plus she already has your dad's name," replied James as he kissed her.

He then said, "I want to ask him so bad. My mom died in a car accident. What if she killed herself?"

Jane held him and said, "Richard we don't know that. And Celia won't tell me the truth. All I know is that she graduated had Sharon during her first year of Havana University.

Her father paid for her studies via a scholarship and she had a permanent residence in Moore Guesthouse. And she said Michael Moore was the father.

All we have is what your grandfather told us."

"He got it from my mother. And when I was 4 my father disappeared for three months to work on Moore Resorts in Cuba. And when he returned my mom hated him and moved to Long Island with my grandparents.

When she died and he buried her then we relocated to Seattle. And for 24 years my grandparents, uncle Richmond and my cousins were dead to us. I had to force him to agree to let me go to Harvard University.

And he wanted me to have a business degree so he compromised," replied Richard to her.

Jane then closed her robe and said, "Richard you need to be careful. Mainly because Celia won't tell me the story.

Their relationship ended on a bad note five years ago. And you approached your dad he will know you left him out of anger."

"Don't worry. My father is good but I will get him to talk. You see he is pitching for the construction of the Reign Towers Building project. It is worth US$ 900 Million and will be 300 Floors when completed. And will be the tallest building in America, located in Seattle.

And Donovan Reign, CEO of Storm Reign International Inc., is big on family. Fortunately for me, I have the amazing Micah Richards, Group Chief Executive of Moore Holdings Plc., on my side. And he sent Richmond Smith, CLO of Moore Holdings PLC, to New York to negotiate.

With any luck, Donovan is coming here and with that, my dad is forced to find a wife. So all he has to do is reconnect. And the deal will force them into a relationship.

With any luck, I will have everything wrapped up in a year. Just got to figure out how to get them together," replied Richard to her.

Jane then said, "Well I am going to Las Vegas for a week."

"Why," asked a curious Richard to her.

"I have the porn expo and I am negotiating with Red Tube for a distribution contract. So I am going to be away for a week. And she is the manager while I am away. I am meeting her in an hour," replied Jane.

Richard smiled and said, "Ok. Let's get busy then."

With that, they started making out and he threw her on the table. With that, she wrapped her legs around him and they started making out.
