FINAL VISION Chapter Two two months earlier

The drive to the Hamptons was amazingly uneventful, hardly a car on the road it was almost as if the world had stopped and got off for a while, dinner was great and the weather was calm. Jason and his wife Betty were Harrison’s best friends in college they had been friends now for a long time and their beach home,built in the early 1900’s, in what was often regarded as one of the country's most beautiful areas, renowned for its miles of white sandy beaches, excellent sailing waters and world-class country clubs, restaurants and shops about 100 miles from New York City , was warm and inviting . They had spent many summers together since meeting in college. Betty helps Harrison on with his coat,”are you sure you can drive?”, Maybe I should call a cab." It's okay, I'm fine. Just a little, you know, Harrison smiles and walks out to his car turning back, he tips his head and tries to put the key in the car door. He drops the keys and tries again and looks up to see Betty's worried look on her face. “Don't worry , Betty, I'll be fine” he smiles and gets in the car closes the door and speeds down the driveway and swerves as he comes on the road. He skids to a stop at the intersection. Knowing his reactions are slowing. He starts across the intersection A little slower. He didn't see the young boy riding on his bike with his headphones on, the boy who is about 9 years old,is not paying attention to anything he is popping wheelies, he jumps up and down the driveway's and up on the sidewalk and then suddenly he darts between two cars. Harrison screeches to a stop ” oh my God what have I done! Harrison gets out of his car and looks around to see if anybody has witnessed what has happened. No one is there, he bends down to see if the boy is alive,, but he can't feel a heartbeat. He leaves the sprawled little body in the road. He gets back in the car and pulls out on the road,his eyes constantly darting to see if he is being followed. Back in New York Harrison pulls up in front of his firm's office. He breathes a sigh of relief as he walks into the elevator lobby.The firm is one of the oldest and most respected firms in New York, the building is one of the designs by architect Raymond Hood, Architect of the Rockefeller Center. Now Sitting in a chair in the office of Senior partner Jerome Kirk, he is holding his head and crying. What am I going to do?” “Kirk motions with his hand, don't worry, I'll take care of it! Harrison says, " I can't tell Maeve! She must never know”” her father would just love this he would not leave us a dime. I'm... Jesus if this gets out, I'm ruined. Everything lost, gone, destroyed!.” “Kirk shifts in his chair”everything will be all right, try to stay cool." “If you can get me out of this, I will owe you my life. Kirk looks at Harrison with contempt, he knows that Harrison is a coward
