The arrest of the Mafia shareholders in the casino made it doubtful if the opening date for the Zumanity show could be maintained. There were no alternative showrooms large enough to host the show. Dan took the initiative by working with the prosecutor in Las Vegas and a key board member of the show company to raise fifty nine million dollars to buy the organized crime investors' shares. Jennifer and Xavier made great strides to acquire dressage horses for the American opening of Odysseo in Scottsdale. She accompanied Dan to Pasadena to visit the mother of late sexual bondage master, Joe Green. She showed no sign of grieving the demise of her son, telling them how he had involved his date in his weekly sex club where couples sat naked watching a pornographic movie with particularly intense routines and then raffled off the women to emulate the movie with different men in separate rooms. He was a loner without scruples who ignored his mother after he moved to Las Vegas. They rode in silence to Moorpark and sought relief in each other's arms making love very emotionally. Veronica arranged lunch with the Sheriff who insisted that he wanted to interview Monica about Joe Green's demise. Dan walked out on them to call Robert to change course to Algonquin Park in Ontario until further notice. He then persuaded the prosecutor that an interview of Monica, after the trauma she suffered at the hands of Joe Green's men would be unproductive, since she did'nt even know that she had been sold to the Sheik in Abu Dhabi. In Montreal Dan discovered that Isabel, the wife of the Frenchman responsible for the Odysseo program, had an autistic daughter fathered by Xavier, since her husband was impotent. She came on to Dan, seeking his help as a surrogate father for another child. He got talked into it by Donna and made love to her in ways that liberated her extraordinary personality which he urged her to focus on addressing the autism of her little daughter. It was finally safe for Robert and Monica to come home to Columbus which focused Dan's attention on Monica's conversion to become a dedicated teacher of little children for his Creche. Morgan had restored the Lodge on Lac Tremblant and had engaged the neighbor's wife, Liz who was widely recognized as an expert in the treatment of mentally challenged children, to help Isabel with Claudia, her little daughter. Dan then spirited Monica away in the Learjet to expose her to Claudia who absolutely blossomed when she saw Monica. Immensely happy that he had discovered her sweet spot, he turned to the best methods of getting her educated and qualified to teach very young preschool children. His burden of paying her back for acting as his courtesan when it was required was immense and the love they felt for each other would never die. To expand their services in the show and conferencing business Dan had hired a young woman with a PhD and a Mensa score above 98% who rapidly overhauled their views on what the future held for show venues. Her perceptions were almost as revolutionary as Dan's, and since it was unlikely that she would ever lead a conventional life to raise an offspring she opted to snare Dan as her lover to father an offspring of up to as many six children. Monica makes it a condition of her new job to master the Creche, that Dan quit taking on new lovers since she had committed to do so."
