Hello Competition

We arrived at the Graystone property. I had bought the houses on the left and right and three behind me to combine them. It is the second-largest private property in New York. It was storm season. And we always try to be here for it. We would have our clothes laundered and pressed. Also, the tubs are filled with water for bathing and brushing. The dining table is moved to the corner of the living room. The chairs, tables, and ornaments of the living room were placed in the storage. The sleeping bags are taken out. Five humongous grills are placed in the kitchen. One wall is stacked to the ceiling with charcoal and stuff to keep the grill going. We make pizza, coffee, flatbreads, and all sorts of stuff. The Dutch oven is also taken out as well. I also take some large rocks and heat them on the grill so when the power goes out it will keep the room warm.

The dining table has an accurate map of the city with multi-colored dots on them. Each color represents a purpose. For example, red is for road closures. Blue is for checkpoints. White is for snowplows. Purple is for the properties we owned. Gray was for crime scenes. Next on the table were a row of walkie-talkies. The first one lets us know what the first responders are up to. The second and third were to contact different police precincts. The fourth is used to contact a snowplow driver. The fifth is the channel our security uses. The last one is for GG to know where we are when we are playing explorer. The moment we enter the house till we vacate the premises we have walkie-talkies in our hands. If we lose it we clean all the toilets in the house. And not dessert too. So far no one has lost it.

I was organizing everything when Charlie called to say Sasha's boyfriend dumped her. He decided that she should stop fighting and start having kids while he builds a career. She disagreed with him and he left her. She has been preparing mentally for the fight. This has jostled her. I told him I will be on the next flight there. I told everyone where I was going and I left for Australia where the fight was.

When I got there it was round two. She was taking a beating. This round was brutal but she kept on fighting. The bell rang again and the fighters went to their separate corners. I shot out like a bullet and got in the Octagon. She jumped when she saw me. I walked towards her and she ran to me. I hugged her and she seems to absorb some positive energy from my presence. I squatted with her and told her my findings about her opponent. She listened with interest. When the bell rang she took her down in five moves. She got the belt and her opponent who has never lost a fight finally met her match. When I tried to hug her. She backed away, "Your jacket is soiled. That is real suede. That's not gonna come off." I growled, "I can dye it black. Seriously what is it with people and clothes stains?" I hugged her and she introduced me to her fans. "This is my hero. My big sister who always got my back." The others also cheered as did everyone else in the Octagon. They gave me a round of applause.

When it was time to get out of the Octagon, I asked her to come with me. She was curious but she remembered that every time she wins I buy her a supercar. She smiled, "I want an Indian this year. I have enough supercars for a Las Vegas car show." I just kept walking without a word. When we reached the parking lot I showed Sasha her brand new jeep. She looked at it and realized it was brand new. I told her I made it myself. Her eyes grew wide with joy. "You haven't made me a car since I graduated from high school." I reminded, "I haven't made anything for you since you got your Ph.D. from MIT on Mechanical Engineering." She asked, "What's in it?" I just gave her the basic, "Four thousand pounds of body armor, missile proof glass, re-inflatable tyres, and police band included in the FM Radio. Self-steering for emergencies and keyless start system. Just place your fingers on the steering wheel and it will start on its own. So if you take your hands off steering it will initiate the emergency brakes" She smiled at me and promised to be in New York in a few days. She won't break family traditions.
