open a new corporate office on his own. That will take him a while to accomplish. When he's done, it's going to be his own office with no affiliation to the family business . I'm also disinheriting him and cutting him off. I figure that’s far enough away so you may not try to get revenge on him. I love the boy, but he's a disappointment and that was the last straw. Why isn't the elixir for sale? Immortality is a safe investment."
"The elixir is also a damn good bribe Siggy, especially since it only lasts for three to six months before you need a booster, quite an incentive. You will notice a few things while you adjust to it, your hormones are going to be going crazy like a teenager, so watch any snap decisions you make. Your face will still look the same even though you will have the body of a twenty year old. Most importantly keep your pecker in your pants, as you…."
"Too late for that Mr. Daniels. He has shared his new talents with me for a good part of the night,” Mrs. Goldstein stated as she walked into the study from an unseen side entrance. The old lady was tall and erect. Though in her seventies, she was still an attractive woman and it was easy to imagine her as the trophy wife she must have been. She radiated confidence and walked up to the men and waved them off from standing up in her presence. “Please continue Mr. Daniels, it was not my intent to interrupt you.”
"Well we pretty much covered the elixir; you do not need to take any of your old meds. As a matter of fact they might kill you,” Dan went on, deciding not to mention the recuperative powers the man would now have, or the effects of the pheromones…”
''What do you need me to do for you D2?" Siggy asked , disappointment clear in his voice.
"Siggy, to start with, I need you to help me to get around the law so I can sell gold. I remember when the Green Earth party was able to pass the precious metals act making it illegal to own any gold or silver other than jewelry or precious historical coins. I also want to buy a large area of desert the government owns so I can build a retirement city for veterans. You can get them to give me the land on the condition I am able to provide employment to at least half of them. Since our politicians will only speak with unions or collectives, I need you to do whatever is needed to create a veterans collective on paper. Then start recruiting them for me. I also have designed a technique to create steel out of sand so I will need patents. Think you can get that done this week?" Dan asked, as he looked him in the eyes.
"It's going to be a bitch Danny, but I'll get started right now. How much gold do you have?" Siggy requested, ready to take additional notes.
"Sig, it's our gold mine, you're not only going to be my attorney you're going to be a full partner in the endeavors. That way we can share a cell if we fail. I plan to take back America, and make it a republic again. We are going to do that by taking people off the dole, giving them well paying real jobs. We will have our constitution back, the original, not the one they pushed through after the Iran War. The one that ruined this country and turned it into a socialist paradise. Are you up to the challenge Siggy?" Dan asked as he saw Siggy start to pale.
"You know if Department of Homeland Security heard what you said, you would be in one of their hospitals for the insane." Sig replied as he continued, "I actually know quite a few gentlemen who share your vision and would be willing to do anything they could to help. They are already organized and number in the thousands. I will have to see if they are willing to let you join with them."
"Wrong answer. They need to join with me. Damn it, I'm just going to lay all the cards on the table. I found a spaceship that gave me the juice that saved your life, and mine too. There is incredible technology there that will change our entire world;
