Trouble And Money #11
Everything I discovered leads to a sad conclusion. Is Taveon being harassed by an ex-girlfriend? Or is her grandfather dishing out the goods? He hired me to spy on Taveon. Tammy and I are going to have a great evening.
Digital Colonoscopies Are The Norm.
Giving Taveon McMahon and Clarissa Walters digital colonoscopies was the way to go.
I went way back, and an interesting thought came to me. These new generations can view the history of their whole life on a social media platform.
If their parents get the ball rolling right away, a year-by-year recount from birth to death is possible.
Imagine that. Year by year, baby pictures, videos, and school photos are all visible with GPS tags, along with the names of friends, teachers, and pets. It’s all there.
I hit the jackpot when I applied the pick and shovel to Taveon’s life.
It was a matter of looking at every photograph and who was in them.
A College Romance
When Taveon was in college, he and Violet Haktstrom became a serious item. Taveon, fresh out of the Navy, met her in a bar near Boston University, where she was in her third year.
I see on IG that they spent a summer working together at a restaurant on Martha’s Vineyard and stayed at Violet’s grandfather’s home.
What a nice life.
That brings us to a photograph taken at Violet’s grandfather’s house. In it, everyone at the table is tagged with their name.
Oscar Hakstrom is a name that sticks out. I’d seen it before. Follow the bouncing ball here. Oscar is Violet’s grandfather and is on the board of directors at Wilson Teller Solutions.
What is the probability on DraftKings that Oscar is the person who hired me to see if Taveon was joined at the hip with Clarissa?
When you think about that with some depth, you discount that theorem.
What makes more sense is that scorned Violet (Oscar’s Granddaughter) asked her grandfather for a favor to figure out who her ex is seeing.
I’ll talk to Taveon later to clarify. So far, the only crime is a beatdown, and it’s Taveon’s decision whether to file charges where needed.
Oscar greased the skids to get Taveon into Wilson Teller Solutions, making things delicate for him.
I'll do anything for a home-cooked meal.
I’m thinking of more than a home-cooked meal.
Tonight is Tammy and I's seventh night together. I’m staying at her house for the first time, and I’m looking forward to it because the evening includes dinner and Netflix. She’s grown on me, and the comparisons to my ex are starting to fade.
Tammy is good company. I like how she thinks and seems to bring out the best in me. We laugh a lot and experience real intimacy. That’s a first for me. It’s scary to me, but I’m working on it.
She said I could bring Gator, which is a plus.
I look forward to seeing how this beautiful bundle, this intelligent woman, lives and hosts the Greatest Detective In The World. Dessert will be served at the end of the evening.
I ring Tammy’s video bell.
(I, the Detective who sees everything, did not see what a joy Tammy is when we first met. I'm glad she pushed the issue... Us)
