The general assembly then went completely different from the way Philipp had imagined. The unexpected setback that the monkey died in the test phase just before the shareholders' meeting destroyed all of his hopes. Now there was no way to escape the Mafia's stranglehold. If he wanted to stay alive, he had to do whatever they asked of him. And Pamela didn't hold back long after the change was due.As an enterprising woman, Pamela knew exactly what she wanted. It was also in their interest that RNV3 should go into production as soon as possible. So Pamela had hatched a diabolical plan that lived up to her evil character.After the terrible scandal during the general assembly, the time was extremely favorable to take Philipp out of the company and send him to a diving station. Due to Philip's sudden failure, as sole managing director, John should quickly have got into trouble to continue the company profitably. Pamela had expected a rapid decline in business, so that John w

In the course of the next few weeks, Philipp had more and more trust in Pamela. He told her about the problems in the company, the study that was commissioned, and the vast sums of money the research devoured. In this context, he had also told her about the problems with his brother and that he had no idea how difficult it was to raise this money, when the company was nowhere near as much as the research was currently devouring. And investors were in short supply anyway. In addition, the banks did not want to grant any more credit increases. On the contrary, they were even considering calling the loans due if the necessary progress was not made soon.Without being aware of it, he had given Pamela exactly the information she wanted. Pamela had made it appear as if she wanted to help Philipp out of a tight spot and offered him a change in the amount of the loan amount to cover the loan. Seen in this way, he would have been creditworthy again and more time could have been given t

Philipp had deliberately dropped into the snow and was waiting. He could still take out the radio and warn John. Or he simply failed to raise his ski pole and wave that the signal for the two explosives experts was to detonate the dynamite to set off the murderous avalanche.The two men had already been looking for the right places yesterday where the greatest possible exit was guaranteed.They now lurked hidden behind a protruding rock and watched Philip with hawk eyes. Philipp had no choice, he had to sacrifice his brother for his own life. With incredible effort, he raised his stick and waved it. Immediately afterwards the earth began to shake and a tremendous thunder and rumble filled the mountains.A huge slab of snow had come loose and was moving at high speed straight towards John. But John reacted immediately and drove rapidly down the mountain. Philipp watched John's shot drive tense. Without realizing that he was screaming, he cheered on his brother vi

“Do you think that it really makes sense to do the descent in this weather?”“You don't need to worry. According to the last weather report, the weather remains stable. The pilot also confirmed to me that it would not start to snow, "said Philipp soothingly.“There should be great powder snow in the upper half of the descent. The route is new and only opened up last year. It leads through a wonderful area. I hope you are rested and in good shape, because this descent is really only for experts. ”John nodded confidently, although he wasn't really sure whether he would be fit today. But he didn't want to show himself naked in front of Philip and appear weak."Who else is there?" Asked John."Nobody, just you and me.""Isn't it a little dangerous when only the two of us are on the road?""Come on, where is your sense of adventure?" Replied Philipp challengingly. "We're not wimps, we're real men," he continued euphorically and patted John encou

A week ago, Philipp had called John and told him that he was ready to return to the company. Philipp would now have had enough time to think about how things should go on for him. But he didn't want to talk to John about this delicate matter in the company, but on neutral ground, where there was a relaxed atmosphere and where neither would be exposed to stress or distraction from the company.For this reason Philipp invited his brother to go skiing in Jasper this weekend. Both were excellent skiers, one of the few things they shared in common. The snowfall had started quite early this year, so the conditions for helicopter skiing were just ideal.Even though John didn't actually have time to ski, there was no way he wanted to turn down Philip's request.He urgently needed Philipp in the company so that he could finally concentrate on research again. Perhaps it was really good that he had a physical distance from the pending problems of the company. In the past f

The shareholders had considered John's concerns to be justified and decided against trying the drug on people. The side effects had to be reduced to such an extent that there was no danger to life and permanent damage was also excluded.After the session ended, a heated argument broke out between the two brothers. John had thrown Philipp's incompetence and greed for profit at the expense of others, while Philipp had described his brother as a coward, procrastinator and fearful rabbit, whose willingness to take risks was zero. Philipp was fed up with being put off all the time, while other companies were a lot further with the development of the drug. He wanted to finally get results and not just watch as vast amounts of company money were pumped into research that was unable to finally develop an efficient drug.Here he had met John at a sore point, because he was only too aware of how much money this project cost and how much his meticulous work was thrown back again an

Between us, meanwhile it has become certainty. Most of the time the small drop of blood glows bright red, almost orange, but sometimes it changes color, becomes dark, purple, and in extreme cases, even pitch black. So far it has only happened once, shortly after returning from the Orient. When I was walking through the streets of an East German town one day, my skin had not yet weathered from its brown shade, which it had assumed under the Arab sun, to the Central European winter pale. I wore the new amulet around my neck and was a little disappointed because it never turned out to be anything other than the usual inconspicuous manner. No matter how often I looked at it, it was always light, it never changed its color. I walked along a fence, first thoughts sprouting, maybe that they might have been glued, then I turned my head and my gaze fell through the rusty meshes on a shabby building in front of which several young people were lounging. Suddenly there was a wild scream.

That's how you question people. If I were only remotely so indiscreet, then I could now mention that Mr. P. came to me at the time for reasons of deep heartache . In the state of hypnosis I successfully freed him from the obsession that only the person he loved could be the only true life partner for him. Whereupon the inaccessible woman promptly took a less negative attitude towards him. Love must be able to flow freely. If you imagine the container for the amorous medium as a tube, you will understand that a grip that is too tight will stunt the flow of feelings. You can't let go either, then he'll go into business for himself and splash around in the area uncontrollably. Hold on, but don't squeeze, is the motto. Apparently she had made P. her own. Because a few months after my treatment, he reported delay. I received an invitation to the wedding, which I could not accept for reasons of ethics alone. "And how is family life developing?" I expressed polite i

was just entering the lock between the automatic doors when I saw someone in the middle of the faces beaming expectantly at me. I knew immediately who it was, who immediately changed its original course and began to follow me for a spontaneous greeting. He caught up with me in the forecourt."Where are you in such a hurry?"Journalists always seem - as it is called in the film language - to be opposed, as is Ludwig P. If you don't hang a camera conspicuously on them, anyone could be a press person. Perhaps it is because this profession requires more inclination than talent, that everyone can make up their minds to be a journalist from now on by virtue of a personal decision. But actually that applies to many professions, especially mine.A physiognomy corresponding to the function arises only in explicit apprenticeships. The longer the training, the more likely it is to conform to the popular cliché. Bishops always look like bishops. Likewise, feder

Well,” said Hartmann half an hour later, “it's not that unusual. The cost pressure forces us to use savings potential and, if necessary, to carry out restructuring. "It would mean accepting losses in wages and quality of the job, even for long-term employees. "Still better than layoffs," he added.I wanted to know what the women had done before that."The department consists mainly of former secretaries.""Chief secretaries?""That too."I was allowed to inspect personnel files. As a result, I spent my lunch break alone in a room with hanging files bulging in the closets. Rolling back and forth on a chair in front of it, I knew what I was looking for.That lady from the last office I visited, or her eyes, were deeply engraved in my memory. In every profession, sooner or later, an attitude emerges that can be described as mocking distance. Police officers speak of customers when they mean rascals, while the r

Which is why the appearance at the scene of the crime at an unusual time of day can sometimes be splendidly instrumentalized. It is said that loneliness and fatigue bring out the divine in man. If that sounds too grandiose to you, you will at least agree with me that everyone becomes emotionally thin after a night's sleep that is too short. If most of them are only struck by a useless disorientation, I know how to gain something from this stupidity. For the first anamnesis it offers ideal conditions. That one looks a bit clumsy on the outside is an inevitable side effect.In other words, the more the real voices fall away from you and assume the sensational value of budgie chatter, the more sensitive your inner ear becomes to the omnipresent whispering of the spiritual. In the ideal case, the extraction of clear messages succeeds. The everyday only bothers me, why Mr. Hartmann's busyness soon became a nuisance to me. No less I am to him, bearing in mind my stubborn aver

In addition,” said Hartmann, “as long as there are neither wrecks nor corpses, we and the official bodies assume that both personnel and material will be back in due course. Until then, we consider the flights to be delayed. ""Exactly," grinned Mr. Kaiser from the insurance company. From which I concluded that a corresponding clause has so far protected his company from recourse claims.“But a full board? That leaves a gap, isn't there any questions? "This objection was brushed aside in a strangely calm manner.“Oh, you know, everything is settled there. They are listed as being on leave for an indefinite period, salaries continue to be paid and there are no complaints, ”said the President."Yes, and the human aspect?"The President looked at me as if he had just given full information about it.Mr. Hartmann ended the silence: “You know, these corporations have a large number of staff, at least in

Dave looked puzzled. "You were there too?"“Yes,” said Rose, “didn't I say that? The firefighters and police on site said I was very lucky. Because the car could have rushed into the tree differently. I was in the hospital for a week, but I wasn't seriously injured. ""One week. Then you couldn't go to the funeral? ”Dave asked sympathetically."Exactly. It was terrible for me, I was stuck in the hospital and couldn't say goodbye to my parents. I also only found out the day before that they were dead because my condition did not allow it beforehand, as the doctor explained to me. ""Were you with your husband back then?"Rose thought for a moment. "Not right. We had only just met. But after that we were together. Back then he helped me a lot to cope with everything. "It sounded like Rose had once been very attached to her husband.Dave asked, "What happened?"Even without him saying it, Rose knew what he

Dave put the bowl in front of him, then mixed the ingredients with one hand.“I learned to cook from my mother. She was a cook in a hotel ”, she answered Dave's question only now."Oh, and what is she doing now?" He asked innocently. He raised his head in surprise when he heard Rose's voice, which was suddenly occupied.“My mother ... and my father are both in the cemetery. It was a car accident. Eight years ago."Dave looked at her, embarrassed. "I'm sorry, I didn't know ..."Rose interrupted him. "That's fine. How should you know that? "To say something, Dave held the bowl out to her and asked, "Look, is that a good thing?"For a moment Rose looked at him as if he had spoken Chinese.Then she cleared her throat and said, “Show me. Looks pretty good. And now we have to try. "Dave looked at her in amazement. "Raw?" He asked disgusted.“Raw, of course. When it's done, there is nothing we can

Dave, on the other hand, showed the two girls (and Rose) how to recognize a cherry tree and he even discovered a nest within reach, which he carefully pulled out of the bushes to show the children."Don't touch the babies or they'll smell like you," he admonished. "Look, you still have your eyes closed. But now I'm putting it back in its place. "Dave carefully tucked the nest back between the branches. Josie and Melissa loved it.Rose was impressed too. She liked to go for a walk, but she had always overlooked the real highlights.Dave knew the area called Jacks Peak Park pretty well, even if he hadn't been there in a long time. You had to drive a bit to start hiking, but it was worth it.He showed the three women the best points from which one had a great view of the sea. Rose was totally thrilled, even if she was a little disappointed that she wasn't able to contribute so much.At least she could score points with the food. Almost everyth

"Yes, please," Dave replied happily, "that would be fun." And he meant it.He liked to talk to her, she was funny and did not try to squeeze him out about Sandra or get on him. Very pleasant company.They said goodbye and Dave made his way home with Josie.In fact, it was late enough to get ready for bed."Mel," Rose said as they stood in the bathroom together, putting on their pajamas."Yes, Mommy?""What did Josie tell you about her mother?"Melissa thought for a moment. “She didn't say much. Just about the closet and that her mommy doesn't love her as much as a mommy does. She said her aunt Nell loved her more. And she only saw it once. "Rose ran ice cold down her spine. That sounded awful. The poor child. "And what did you tell her?"“I said my daddy didn't really love me either, but you loved me twice as much for that. And then Josie said that her daddy loved her twice as much too. And the

Rose nodded. “Yes, this phase is still ongoing. In addition to rock and metal, hip hop is one of my great loves in music. But in the past I mainly listened to hip hop. ""And then you were obviously on the dark side of the force." Dave pointed to a couple of albums that would fit in the Gothic corner.“Oh, that was only very brief and only purely musical. But at some point it got on my nerves. This constant moaning, life is so bad, nobody loves me, I don't even love myself, bu-hu-hu. ”Rose rubbed her eyes with her fists like a little child crying. Then she laughed. "And then I just heard the music that has a bit more bite.""Yes, I can see that," marveled Dave. The second shelf was almost exclusively filled with music that “has a bite”."Tell me, can you maybe lend me a couple of CDs?" He asked Rose."Sure," she replied immediately. "Take as many as you want and when you no longer need them, you can give them back to m

Rose took a sip before saying, "If I have sore muscles tomorrow, it's just your fault."Dave said indignantly: "I didn't do anything!"After sharing such a fit of laughter, there was no way you could stick with the "she", so it was only natural for Dave that Rose should have used him.Only now did they notice that Melissa and Josie were standing in the doorway and watching them in amazement."Why are you laughing like that?" Josie asked first. Her lip was still swollen."Rose said something funny earlier," Dave told his daughter."Not true," Rose protested. " You said something funny and I can see into the future." They almost laughed again, but they found it difficult to pull themselves together.Melissa and Josie looked at each other, then laughed at their parents themselves.Rose looked at the two girls. “What do you actually want?” She asked.Melissa took a step closer. "We wanted to ask you if we could g
