Introducing Mr. BA himself: Mr. Jack Benjamin- Ames: The series to accompany the K.Wilson blogs....

[lady lynxx]

LL - This series is written by my e-pardner Ladybass, who also posts on balleralert.com. Jack Benjamin-Ames is actually a character she created and we agreed that we would incorporate him in my Kay Wilson series as her love interest.

We both write our respective blogs ourselves, but we agree what happens in the plot lines of each blog, so as not to conradict each other.

PART ONE: Introducing Mr. BA himself: Mr. Jack Benjamin- Ames

On the 20th floor of the JMC advertisers building a very nervous Donald Levy sat waiting in an large office for the “main event” to arrive. He had been CEO and President of the company for 30 years now but he still wasn’t safe from getting the ax. Especially in these times with the stock market down and the banks not lending, everything he did seemed to be under more scrutiny then usual. He looked down at his watch once again wondering when he was going to show up after all he did have a company to run and sitting here waiting was wasting time and money. Perhaps he should have just stayed on the board of directors and gave up the CEO job. Then maybe he wouldn’t be in this mess right now. As soon as he was about to get up and leave the down opened and the man of the hour walked in.
Jack Benjamin- Ames entered the room with the confidence of a president and the presence of a king. He didn’t take one look nor said one word to Levy as he took the seat behind the cherry wood desk. He placed his hands careful on top of the desk, spaced apart evenly and bowed his head and closed his eyes for a few seconds before looking at Levy. He gave a curt nod to him and began to proceed with the meeting.

“Good morning Mr. Levy. I’m sure you know what this is about.” Jack started.

“No not really. I was just informed of this meeting when I came in this morning.”

“The board is very concerned about the condition of the company and of the recent campaigns. I have been sent here to evaluate the situation as well as take over sight in order to make sure our profit projects aren’t completely off for next quarter.”

“I see, but the black diamond campaign was not as big of loss as the Board may think.” He said trying to defend the company’s loss to K-maxx.

“Oh so you don’t think the loss of an estimated 83 million dollar deal is not a big thing?” he questioned. “Perhaps it’s not for a man of your experience or prestige. I read up on you. You are famous for bringing in 150 million dollar campaigns. You used to be the one to beat in your day. Perhaps the time has come for us to set you out to pasture. An old bull like you can better spend your time chasing cows then dollars. As for the rest of us we will not forsake our quest for more riches Mr. Levy.”

“No I can bring in 150 million campaigns without a problem. It’s just this one…they were looking to her because she’s a woman. They thought she could better understand the ways which to market it. We have another campaign that is in progress bringing in 67 million right now and we have been guaranteed the next one from JL sports. That is going to 170 million easy. The past couple of years have been hard on everybody due to this recession but we are picking up and there is another company looking for advertisers to do their campaign. I think have a good chance at nabbing it. It’s in women’s apparel. I know for sure that K-Maxx won’t be a problem.” Levy said.

“Oh and way is that?”

“Because they won’t know about it until after we meet with them and the capital for it will be too much for K-maxx to be able to get in time to do the campaign. It’s first showing is supposed to be for the beginning of summer but we have plans that will make us irresistible.”

“Well seems I will be doing more observing then but I have been given the power to interfere when I choose so trend water carefully. Besides Ms. Wilson is not one to underestimate. I guess I will have to congratulate her on the black diamond campaign the black diamond campaign the next time I see her.” The side of Jack’s mouth curled for a second. “And inform her that I will be working here extensively for the time being. It’d be nice to say I beat her out of a campaign.”

“She is tough but I believe we have the advantage and more talent.”

“Perhaps…now I believe you should be going back to your office and seeing how your people are doing with the current campaigns and the future ones. We wouldn’t want K-Maxx or anybody else to beat us on the potential campaigns you mentioned. I don’t think the board would like that.” Jack said lifting his brow slightly.

“No they wouldn’t.” Levy stood up from the chair and headed out the door.

“Oh and Donald smile more. I sure you’ll bounce back better than ever. You job depends on it.” Jack added before the CEO left the room. Jack leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes for a full minute before Jerry Pell walked in.

“You called for me, Mr. Ames?” he asked.

“Yes, I did. I want you to do this for me.” Jack told him and handed the man a large yellow envelope. Pell opened it and pulled out the papers in side it. He looked it over before placing them back in and resealing the envelope.

“How long do you want me to do this?”

“Until I tell you to stop. I want weekly reports on this and make sure to keep it quiet as usual.”

“Yes Sir.” Pell quickly left the office to begin his work. Once he was gone Jack pulled out his cell and called back his mother. He knew that what ever it was it probably had to do with his father.

“Hello Ma,”

“I’m glad you finally decided to call. I swear sometimes you act just like your father.”

“Sorry but I have been very busy lately so what’s going?” he asked.

“Why does something always have to be going on for me to call you? I can’t call my son to see how he is doing?”

“I didn’t mean it like that Ma.”

“You better not because I don’t give a damn how old you are or who you think you are but I will put a switch to your behind in a second.”

“Yes mother, how are you doing?” he asked. He wanted to avoid any arguments with her especially since he was at work.

“I am fine but I would be better if your father would show the hell up home.”

“He’s gone again?”

“Yeah, he went to the store and didn’t come back. So where do you figure he is now? In Egypt, Iran or Turkey, maybe finding another woman to marry?”

“I don’t know but I will find him. I promise and I know that he is not marrying another woman. He saw what happened the last time he did that. He loves you ma. He really does. Don’t worry about it. I’ll see where he is and let you know that he is okay.” He assured her.

“You do that and what about my boys?”

“I will make sure that they call you ma. You know kids are in this day always into something. You know they haven’t forgotten about you.”

“They better not have. I changed their diapers too and as for you…you need to leave their mother alone. She is married and has her own mess to attend to.”

“Mother we only have occasional …relations, nothing more.”

“MM A man like you has to be extremely careful. Too much hangs in the balance with you.”

“Yes ma’am.”

“Well then get back to work and find your father. Your brother is out of the country so remember to what are those things called…e-mail? Yes email him.”

“Yes ma’am. I’ll speak with you later mother.”

“This better not be a lie.” She said and hung up on him.

“Great now I have to find dad again.” He said to himself. Jack slipped his phone back into his pocket and set himself up to begin working on his current projects. He pulled up a file on his computer and looked through it. He saved the file to him memory stick and continued on. His phone started to vibrate so he once again took it out of his pocket and answered it.

“Hi Father.”

“Your mother called you yet?” he asked, his voice smooth and calm.

“Yes she has. I just spoke with her. She wants to know where you are so where are you know?”

“I’m fine. She doesn’t need to know where I am. Why does she always want to know where I am? I’m the husband and I feel like disappearing then that is what I do.” He father told him.

“Pater…Ab… She worries that’s all.”

“Ibn…she ‘s worried about who I am with bit where I am. Ever since I went to Saudi Arabia and took another wife she has been worried about what I am doing.”

Jack rubbed the side of his face. He remembered that incident very well. His mother cried and cried then went over there and shot that woman to death. She had been meaning to shoot him but he ducked behind his new wife. It was a mess. His mother was very closed to being stoned to death. He remembered getting the news from his cousin about the situation. Apparently that was the reason that his mother didn’t take him with her. It wouldn’t be the last time his mother or father left him with some relative because of their often time tremulous relationship. His father had been bold enough or maybe the right word was stupid enough to do the same thing two more times. The end result seemed worse each time.

“When do you wish to go home?” Jack asked his father.

“Ahh right now. I’ll go and get it over with now. Women can’t do a damned thing with them after you marry them. When you get married again make sure your mother likes her at least that way she won’t complain to me about it and when are you going to get married again? Your 35 you shouldn’t wait till your forty because women in this country become less interested so look for a good woman”

“Na'am Ab”—Yes father Jack told his father before hanging up. Well at least he solved one problem but now it was back to checking over the numbers to see if what he suspected was true.

(A/n- I don’t speak Arabic but I have a friend that does so if I miss use a word or two in terms of grammar please forgive. I’m learning as I go along here and yes there will be sex. I hope you enjoy Jack's personal story. This is set about two months before he meets Kay Wilson.)
