“Big step down.” Myron made a face. “Isn’t Amherst a Division 3 school?”
“It’s hard to stay on top.”
“We have to talk to him.”
Win smiled. “Remember I said that Esperanza came up with a lead?”
“And you came up with an inspired idea off it. I remember.”
“Spark Konners just arrived in the lobby. He’s on his way up.”
“He’s here? Wait, how?”
“I sent a plane for him.”
“And he got on just like that?”
“He may be under the impression that the NBA is creating a franchise in Las Vegas and that he may be in line to coach for them.”
Myron stared at Win. “Wow.”
“Right? So the impetuous owner of this new franchise sent a plane for him.”
“You’re the owner?”
“The impetuous owner,” Win corrected. Then: “I always wanted to own a basketball franchise.”
“You don’t like pro basketball.”
“Too much fouling,” Win said. “Too many time-outs. It’s so boring after a while. You know what would make the game more exciting?”
“You being one of the teams’ impetuous owners?”
“Yes, that, but also—” The doorbell sounded. “He’s here. I’ll tell you my ideas later.”
“Can’t wait.”
Win called out, “Ladies.”
Three modelesque women appeared from the other room. They all worked the same look—shiny, sleek, jet-black hair perfectly transitioning to shiny, sleek, jet-black dresses. They pouted and strutted in perfect, confident unison, as though they’d rehearsed this.
“Why are they here?” Myron asked.
“For appearances.”
“I’m not following.”
“They’re all hot social media influencers with huge followings. And you know who would hang out with hot social media influencers with huge followings?”
Myron saw where this was going. “An impetuous owner?”
Win smiled. “Now you’re getting it.”
When Win opened the door, Spark filled the doorway like a solar eclipse. The huge man had to bend his way into the room. He gave Win a firm handshake.
“Okay, ladies, time to go,” Win said. “Let the boys have some space to talk.”
The influencers tee-heed and filed out, giving Spark Konners little waves as they did. Spark waved back with an unsure smile on his face. He wore an ill-fitted dark blue suit with a dark blue tie that was too short on him.
