As the Dukes entered the club they sat in their normal spot, Randolph grabbed his phone and Mortimer grabbed the latest Left Wing Periodical.<\/p>\n

\u201cListen to this, this report says, \u2018Expect this stagnation to continue until the Department of Agriculture\u2019s January marshmallow report\u2019 Its exactly as we though Randolph\u201d Mortimer said to his brother<\/p>\n

\u201cWrong!\u201d Randolph said \u201cQuite wrong, fake news!\u00a0 They\u2019ve given the Nobel peace prize to this genetics fellow and he doesn\u2019t know the first thing about human nature!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRandolph, we\u2019re about to make billions in marshmallows, and you\u2019re worried about human nature\u201d Mortimer replied to get under his brother\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoney isn\u2019t everything Morty\u201d Randolph said \u201cPapa always said you were greedy\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe meant it as a compliment\u201d Mortimer replied.<\/p>\n

Just then, Brandon walked in carrying the payroll briefcase.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cGood morning Randolph, Mortimer!\u201d Brandon said. \u201cIts that time of the month again\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI hate signing checks\u201d Mortimer said. \u201cI wish we didn\u2019t have to pay our employees that often\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCan\u2019t get around the old minimum wage\u201d Brandon said.\u00a0 \u201cAnd don\u2019t forget to sign the big ones too!\u201d<\/p>\n

They signed a dozen checks or so and Randolph paused on one.<\/p>\n

\u201c$50,000 to Clarence Beeks!\u201d Randolph said, \u201cWho is Clarence Beeks?!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI meant to ask you both about that.\u201d Brandon said.\u00a0 \u201cHe seems to be an undocumented worker and the only thing I can find in records is that he registered to vote three times.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Brandon finished, Mortimer coughed loudly to suggest to Randolph to drop it.\u00a0 Randolph got the hint as he remembered<\/p>\n

\u201cOh yea, Clarence Beeks\u201d Randolph said. \u201cHe\u2019s doing some top-secret research for us, very top-secret\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cResearch\u201d Mortimer said reassuringly while Brandon looked confused\u2026 or I mean normal (editor\u2019s note).<\/p>\n

\u201cSay, how\u2019s Jill?\u201d Mortimer asked to sway the conversation away from Beeks. \u201cyou know she\u2019s our grandniece, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cJill is chill!\u201d Brandon said. \u201cShe is coming over for dinner tonight and I plan to eat food from her hands. In fact, she better be careful because I might put her finger in my mouth!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFantastic Brandon!\u201d Mortimer said \u201cYou better hurry and leave!\u00a0 Ezra, please show Brandon out.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ezra came in and opened the door for Brandon to exit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s go Brandon, it\u2019s the Duke brothers time for tea\u201d<\/p>\n

Ezra escorted Brandon out and the Duke\u2019s continued their conversation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are fortunate to have Brandon managing our firm\u201d Randolph said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh hogwash!\u201d Randolph exclaimed.\u00a0 \u201cSyracuse, Delaware. He\u2019s the product of good environment\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has nothing to do with environment!\u201d Mortimer stated \u201cWith his genes you could put him anywhere and he\u2019d come out on top, It\u2019s in his blood\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
