Hartley was traveling a lot these days. He'd decided to go beyond his immediate community for a worthy cause. Other people interested in the welfare of the homeless people were networking over the internet across the country and coming up with some very interesting ideas. From a particularly productive instant messenger brainstorming session came the concept of S.A.F.E. The initials stood for Shelter & Asylum For Everyone, and Hartley was fairly excited about the idea of an all-inclusive national chain of safe shelters for individuals at risk for violence. Excited enough to dip into his own pocket to go out on the road to try and drum up some money for it.
Kord Industries was just one of many stops Hartley had scheduled. He was using all of his parents' connections and his own to organize a large series of fundraiser galas across the country to raise the capital needed to finance the startup of such an ambitious project. He figured that whatever he could not get through the usual channels, he'd end up stealing. He had zero qualms about that. It would just be one of his Robin Hood moments, as it were.
The elder Mr. Kord himself had agreed to meet with him. Hartley shaved and dressed appropriately, business casual, with a pristine white shirt under an obviously expensive cardigan, matching slacks and black shoes. He even combed back his usually wild hair and was on his best behavior.
After a very short meeting, Kord sent Hartley out to hunt down his son Ted to iron out the details. Hartley found Ted's office, knocked on the door and peeked in.
"Hello? Mr. Kord?"
