Sure, I can use another investor.

Nick smiles, and nods his head. "I think having your money to back up mine will help. Especially if your business sense is better than mine." He holds his hand out to the young man. "Partners then?"

"Partners, Nick," Michael says, shaking his hand firmly. It seems like a huge weight has been lifted from Michael's shoulders. The two of them walk back over to the group, Graham tapping his foot impatiently. "Sorry to keep you waiting, Graham," Michael apologizes.

"If yer done with your secret squirrel bullshit, I'd like an answer," Graham grunts.

Kate's not happy, and she lets Graham know. "You need to let Nick have time to think about this. It's a lot to take in."

"No, I'm good," Nick says. "My partner and I just had to work some things out." The message is clear to everyone, and Kate smiles. "I can answer you right now, Graham."
