THE EXPLANATION

Three people were seen sitting in the living room.

The teen and kid were on a sofa with an old man on the adjacent one.

If seen from far it would look like the the kid was saying something and the other two listening carefully.

The view was bizarre as were their talks.

They were none other than Anthony,Clara and Thomas.

They were discussing business plans or more specifically listening to what Anthony was explaining.

"What is this dot-com project,Anthony?". Asked the business smelling Thomas.

If his gut feeling was right then this is a big game his grandson was playing.

Even Clara didn't say anything as she itching to know about it as well.

The documents given to them had the information,but listening from the maker is better as they would provide more insights on the topic.

Seeing that he got their undivided attention,Anthony felt relived as it was a very hard decision for him disclose his plans.

But the 3 days in the hospital made him think otherwise.

He would the need help of others even when he will become an adult as there are so many things a single person can do. 

So, he decided to disclose the plan to the people he could trust and they were with him now.

"Grandpa,you do know about the recent internet rise right?". Asked Anthony.

"Yeah,It was as if bullet leaving the barrel". Said Thomas in a metamorphical manner.

"The internet is making and breaking the companies even as we speak of it".

Replied grandpa Thomas as the internet became the talk of people now a days.

Clara also nodded her head as students had their assignments about the internet in business management.

"Well,my plan in simple terms bite the pieces discreetly".Said Anthony as he continued to explain.

"Now due to the heavy investments and speed of the invested companies burning the money,many are in bankruptcy".

"It is looking like all the recession in stock market will stabilize in due time".

"But if my estimates are correct then the deflation of dot-com companies will continue and majority of the upcoming companies will be down the river.".

"The documents I gave you contains all companies we can look out for during their decrease in stock price."

Said Anthony as he completed by giving a brief explanation to both of them.

"..."

"..."

Silence regained as both of them were pretty shocked at what was they were listening.

They were not surprised with his explanation as it has become a common thing now a days, Some expert posts their own theory in the newspapers.

They were astonished that a 7 year old kid came up with the plan and was pretty much possible to happen if implemented perfectly.

"Since when did you had this plan?".

Asked Clara with clear disbelief that a kid could best the experts in their own field.

"It was 8 months ago.It sure took a while to collect the information and process it".

Said Anthony with a nonchalant expression as if he has done something normal.

Clara didn't know what to say. She now understood why some people are called geniuses.

She thought the news about making Tony Stark making a V8 engine at the age of 7 was a publicity stunt.

She now understood how naive her thinking was.

"Then what about the details and statistical analysis about them.You surely couldn't make all the predictions without them,right?".Asked grandpa Thomas.

Of course, he knew just the data is not enough,a brilliant mind is needed to make it all possible.He had to ask as they were the basic things you need if you want to know about stock market.

Anthony also understood what his grandpa was saying.

He slowly put the book he brought with him on the small table in front of them.

Clara seemed to have come out of her stupor as she saw the book she was trying to snatch was on the table.

"All the details are in the book, grandpa". Said Anthony.

He knew it was going to take a lot of convincing to move forward with his plan.

Thankfully, he didn't have much to worry as the book he bought with him was more than enough to do that.

It took a while as the father and daughter duo had a lot of questions to ask and doubts to clarify.

By the time they stopped their rapid fire questions it was already midnight.

Anthony's throat was dry from answering all their questions.He honestly spoke more this night than the whole 7 years of his life.He was feeling tired already.

Even though he had the memories of an adult,his body was still of a kid.

Clara and Thomas had more questions to ask but refrained as they saw how tired he was.

"Lets sleep,we can discuss about it tomorrow". Said Thomas.

Anthony just nodded his head as he was enough talking of day.

If possible he would like to just give the plan and be done with it.

But alas,it was not possible as he has to convince his grandpa to for the plan to execute.

He just sighed at the inconvenience due to the age restrictions he had.

Clara got up and went upstairs with Anthony behind her, after saying goodnight to Thomas.

Thomas just looked at them as they went upstairs as he thought.

'I should check the plans again.Can't have any errors slip up'.

Thomas went to his room as he thought of the his monstrous grandson.

He honestly couldn't think how the little head of his grandkid could think and made the almost insane but feasible plan.

He could understand the information, as his parents could have them.

But how his grandson linked all that was still a mystery to him.

'He sure is going to make a name of himself,that's for SURE'.

He thought to himself.

Thomas was more worried about Anthony than the plan.Because of the attention he would receive if the plan worked.

He knew the world was no sunshine and rainbows.He had to be more cautious to not reveal more about his grandson.

He will be busy for a long while with the way the things have been going.

..................................

Mean while In his room,Anthony thought of all the things that happened today.

He hoped his plans can be executed smoothly but that was just a pipe dream.

He knew that many complications would arise as nobody would be happy to share their pie in the business.

Even though it is August of 2000, every one of the big companies had their own share in market.

They won't allow a newcomer into the market.

The many newcomers that started during the internet were already closed due to the major corporations entering the field.

So, his plan had to be made with accounting all the possible variables in the market.

Anthony just hoped that he could achieve atleast some of his goals.

His musings stopped when he heard the bedroom door open.

The perpetrator was slowly coming near his bed.

Anthony was just pretending to sleep as he was ready to pounce on the perpetrator.

Anthony was always in alert from when he was discharged.

He always thought the Ancient One or some other being would discover him.

He knew it was futile against the likes of Ancient One.But still, he was ready to do so, as to soothe his poor soul.

Fortunately it was Clara who has snuck in to his room.He knew it as she slowly crawled under the bedsheet towards him.

He relaxed himself but still was annoyed at the uninvited visitor.

"What are you doing Clara". Asked Anthony with a glare.

"Sleeping". 

Replied Clara as it was the most obvious answer.

Anthony just rubbed his forehead at her way of answering.

"Then why don't you sleep in your room?, the bed is a little small for both of us".

Said Anthony as he really hoped she would leave.

Alas his hopes were shattered by her answer.

"It's okay darling,I can adjust and it's really comfy here". 

Anthony just closed his to fall asleep as he didn't want to talk about this anymore.

Clara just giggled seeing him defeated.

Before she knew it, she also fell asleep hugging Anthony.
