Friday night
Gerard Barrett slid into the driver’s seat of his carbon-colored
McLaren F1 and started the engine. The throaty roar hummed
through him. God, he loved this car. As much as he loved the monthly poker
games. He tossed his phone onto the neatly folded suit jacket, rolled up the
sleeves of his Tom Ford business shirt, and ran his hands along the steering
wheel, ready to let the day go.

Pulling out of his spot at the Barrett Investment Group building, his pulse
pounded with exhilaration as he sped off down the street. In almost no time,
San Francisco’s evening traffic frustrated him. It took over half an hour to
get to and across the Bay Bridge. Another hour until traffic on the 80
thinned out and he could open her up. Gerard pulled over, removed and
stowed the hard top, then pulled back out onto the quiet road and pressed
the gas pedal to the floor. The scenery flew by as he left everything from his
day, his week, his month behind. A rare grin lifted his lips as he headed for
the monthly poker game that was about the only reason he’d tolerate Friday
night traffic. It was worth it once he got away from the city.
Noise disappeared, leaving only the wind, the road, and the engine. Man
and machine in sync and no emergencies or phone calls to disrupt the
calmness that settled him during this drive. And he had a lot that needed
settling. With a financial organization the size of his, stress went along with
the territory. For him, since his father had retired, he had a lot to prove to a
board that didn’t think he and his sister were the right people for the job.
Sometimes, the drive to Solano Stables was too short, not giving him time
to think through his problems. His solitude would disappear when he
arrived, though he couldn’t complain. Reflective time would be replaced by
a camaraderie five years in the making. He couldn’t feel bad about that.
His grin widened as he thought about the week they all met. He’d
sponsored a weekend think tank for CEOs from finance, tech, and basically
any industry with the desire and ability to shape the future of capitalism in
the world. The last night of the conference, he’d sat around the outside fire
pit at the ski chalet with five remaining men, smoking cigars and drinking
thirty-year-old Glenfiddich. All of them were from the San Francisco area at
the time, hungry for growth, and full of ideas.
Now, five years later, they still met monthly for a game of poker and a
sharing of ideas. It had served them all well. Except maybe Brody, who’d
given up the fast track lifestyle to run his parents’ dude ranch.
A car roared up beside Gerard on the two lane road. A bright yellow
Porsche Boxter convertible, so it had to be Mateo. Taking his eyes off the
road long enough to glance at the blond-haired man who grinned back at
him, Gerard’s smile widened, and he opened up the throttle.
