It was evening in Orlando, and everyone at the Futura was relaxing. They were meeting in the penthouse room where Joan, Albie and Jason lived.

"What a day," Shawn said, "we had a fight and a half to reverse what Jennifer and Zach pulled."

"The question is," Joan said, "was it reversed?"

"Yes, it was," Andrea Sherman said, "the current chairman is the chairman again. The two commissioners who were bribed by Zach and Jennifer were removed and arrested. Jennifer and Zach were also arrested for bribery, but they paid their bail and whatever fines there were, and they were let off." Andrea sneered in disgust, "Money! Can buy anything, even justice!"

"Their arrogance will be their downfall!" Sarah Jo predicted.

Albie was working on some stories for the news broadcast, he was looking at a copy of the Sentinel, he was not too pleased.

"What is going on?" Jason asked.

"You guys will love this," Albie said, "look!"

Jason looked at the copy of the paper. "I don't believe it!" he said.

"What?" Aaron said.

"Jennifer and Zach are meeting with the Seminole County Commissioners today!" Albie moaned, "They are sure to get approval!"

"Why do you say that?" Aaron said.

"They are saying that in Altamonte Springs, they are looking for a resort like the Maxim!" Albie said sadly.

"That does pose a problem," Shawn said, feeling bad for the group, "but I do have an idea that could help us here at the Futura."

"Right now," Sarah Jo said, "we could use any good ideas. Jennifer and Zach's venom has really been cutting our business."

"We know," Aaron said, "and I know someone who can help us out. My dad has done business with his family for a long time."

"When is he coming?" Sarah Jo smiled.

"Tomorrow," Aaron winked.

The next day, Jennifer and Zach, along with Christopher, who was their new partner, went to the Seminole County Commission, to present their case for their building permits.

"You have stated yourselves," Zach said, "that Altamonte Springs needs a resort much like the Maxim, what we have stated here."

"That is true," the county commissioner said, "Altamonte Springs would need something like this, and the benefits could be wonderful, but we have to make sure that this is not done out of spite towards another corporation. We pride ourselves on being connected with our commissioners in the other counties in the area."

Upon hearing this, all three blanched white.

Think, what to do?! Zach thought, If they find out what we did, then we are all in trouble. If Seminole County dismisses this, then we are sure to be shut out of the metro!

"Although we usually make a call to our fellow commissioners," the chairman said, "I don't think that is really necessary, unless something comes up that we don't really approve of."

Zach and Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief. Christopher smiled. Like they had done in Orange County, Zach and Jennifer had bribed some of the commissioners, and this time, it included the Chairman, because he knew the Brompton family.

This time, we covered our backsides, but good! Zach gloated, Thank heavens that Chris knew the Commission Chairman! We will get our Maxim!

By day's end, the Jansons got their permits, and construction would begin on the Maxim in Altamonte Springs.

The group at the Futura were desolate.

"The commission had to be bribed!" Marie said sadly, "They had to be."

"You're right," Albie said, "they were bribed! What made it worse was the Chairman was also bribed! Apparently Christopher Brompton knew the Chairman!"

"Conflict of interests," Shawn said, "we're against a wall on this one."

"What do we do?" Sarah Jo moaned.

"I have someone who can help us," Shawn said, "Aaron told me about him, and how his family did business with them."

"I think I know who you mean," Cathy smiled.

"You do?" Dave asked.

Just then, a handsome man with brown hair, and an air of business came in.

"Group," Shawn said, "say hello to Andrew Harper!'

The group was astonished, Aaron and Shawn knew such star power.

"Of the Harpers Falls Harpers?" Sarah Jo was amazed. Her admiration for Aaron and his family grew all the more.

"The same," Andrew said, "and my family sends their best, Cathy. Now, Shawn is saying there is some slander flying by someone named Jennifer Janson?"

"My former wife," Aaron said sadly, "she's always been reckless, and this time, since she remarried, it's been more done out of spite."

"Has there been any tangible proof?" Andrew asked, "I have to have some tangible proof."

"Right here," Marie smiled, "I knew someone who knows what those Jansons are capable of. This person is also an attorney, and he was the opposing attorney in a business battle between the Jansons and someone else."

Marie produced the evidence, and Andrew looked it over.

"This is all in order," he smiled, "and once we use that, then the Jansons will be stymied. They might not be stopped permanently, but we can throw them one hell of a curve ball against them!"

Sarah Jo smiled, "That is all we can hope for," she said.
