New Beginnings

Well, I finally made it!

I, Finnbarr Joseph Galedeep, am the greatest Criminal Mastermind this world has ever seen! Kneel before me, swine, kneel and bow! For who else is mightier than Finnbarr Galedeep? Nobody else will stand against me, Finnbarr Galedeep, the Greatest of the Great! Bow before me! (excuse me while I go find a pin to pop this boy’s inflated ego. Jeez, is it any wonder he lives alone?)

I’m sorry friends, I don’t know what came over me there. I guess I got a little carried away. (damn right you did)
I’ll try to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

As you can see, my life-long dream became a reality, and I became Criminal Mastermind. My minions tell me that I am the greatest they have ever seen, and I make a lot of money, only quarter of which is legal. I thought that I might like to go into medicine, but I’m having too much fun where I am. I also thought that I might like to get married some day, but that’s out of the question. I don’t want some nosy busy-body of a wife prying into my business!

Anyway, with the increase in pay, I was able to renovate my house. It still looks the same on the outside (I want my neighbours to go on thinking that I’m nothing more than a bartender at the golf club), but inside, I have the most expensive of everything. I even had enough money left to build a library.

I wasn’t very happy with the way my new library looked, so I called the builders back, and had them fix it.

I’m much happier with it now, and it’s my favourite place in the whole house. I like to relax in front of the fire when I get home from pulling the strings on puppet politicians, conning crooked cops, and all that sort of thing.

(Heh, good thing Finn and Abe live in different neighbourhoods. Something tells me that they wouldn’t get along at all )
