Ian was rolling with the real deal, a crew of ace players who breezed through the talent screening like it was child's play.
Before long, fourteen of the bunch had made the cut and were herded into a spacious van, told they were headed off for some intensive training.
Gazing out the window, Ian overheard the chatter inside.
"Man, I can't believe I made it. Gonna rake in some serious dough this time."
"If I bag three hundred bucks, I'm set for life. Mom and Dad would feel proud."
"Dude, imagine rolling up in your own ride. We're talking about Wall Street, the glitziest joint on the planet."
Ian leaned back, his eyes growing dark. Not the glitziest, more like the most terrifying hellhole imaginable.
The van kept pushing on, and besides Ian and his companions, no one had a clue where this so-called intensive training was taking place.
After a solid four-hour drive, they came to a halt deep in the mountain ranges.
The driver hopped out for a quick pow-wow, and then barked at everyone with dialect to disembark and line up.
Ian could catch the drift of the local lingo but the specifics of the driver's dialect eluded him. The message was clear though: someone was coming to lead them, and they'd better put on a good show.
Fourteen were chosen this time, and fourteen arrived to take charge - one guide per recruit. The others were buzzing with excitement, mistaking their guides for mentors ready to prep them for the big leagues on Wall Street, to earn more cash.
Ian kept quiet, trailing along with the group. His people weren't by his side; they were scattered.
They trudged to a secluded cliffside where staff began roll call, and those named stepped forward.

Why are there no updates yet, Author. We've all been waitibg for quite a while now. Please, update soon, Author. Thanks....
Author, my thoughts on the book. When are You going to write on Cornelia and Omar Casson's romance? You made no mention, describing in detail how Maja and Uan's white wedding ceremony went. Also, you didn't write on Carol's baby delivery. What about Tyler's romance. Is there closure on Phelps Herrington being truly certified dead, so also his twin brother? Dylan's research institute "little girl", what became of her and Dylan's romance? Beck's blind dates, what were the results, is he married now, so also Dylan to his "little girl"? Why hasn't Ian's father- Steven come forward to meet Maja's parents as the in-laws meeting each other especially with his supposed past with Lillian; Maja's mother. I hope I won't remain curious for too long on the aforementioned issues, Author. Thanks for doing a good job on Zoey and Fitch's romance, though. Kudos....
