?You.. You can?t do this, Mister Ravenlo?Brian! Brian, you can?t dissolve this board! What do you think you?re do??
With a wave of hand, the speaker had been sharply cut off.. And once more, did they attempt to voice their apparent objection, and once more, they were cut off, soundly.. This time, by a very definitive glare.
Easing back into his chair, the objector sighed rather dejectedly.. His eyes glanced to the others who were seated with him, about the long table.. Perhaps, a hope that someone else would raise, a voice. That maybe someone else, would assist him somehow. That perhaps, someone.. Anyone, no less.. Would say, what he felt deeply inside.
That Brian Ravenlock, had lost his damned mind..
Yet no voice came, to assist the objector.. Not a peep, mind you.. Not even, a passing glance! Nothing.. He was seemingly in an ocean all by himself, treading waters with not a soul in sight.
In fact the only voice within the room, was that of the very one, the rather abandoned objector, had objected to.
?I can dissolve this board, and more so..?
A pause took hold, as Brian Ravenlock began to survey those gathered more so.
?Forgive me.. I am getting a tad ahead, of myself, aren?t I..? Yes, yes I am.. So please, my friends.. Let us begin anew. I never said, I was going to dissolve this board.?
His words, drew a chorus of relieved sighs from the eight members that made up the Board of Directors, for the Jewell Ravenlock Centre for Community Partnership. Nodding softly, to the gathered Brian continued.
?That aside, we have business to attend to, no? So please refer to the sealed packets that were given to each of you, upon your arrival. Let?s open em up and we can begin.?
As each member opened their respective packets, Brian took a moment to glance about the room once more. A somewhat, faint smile took form, as he watched on.. Waiting for it.. Waiting.. Waiting.. And?
?What the hell is this!?? cried out one..
?Are you mad!?? added, another.
?You can?t! Why!?? pleaded, yet another..
And of course, more comments were let loose.. A barrage of sheer disbelief, and panic setting in, as each of them looked at the paperwork they drew from the packets.
?Brian! Brian, what is the meaning of this!? You said ?you never said you would dissolve the board!? Why?? asked a member in particular.. A Miss Jesden, actually.
The faint smile remained, as Brian answered matter of factly..
?Why Miss Jesden, you?re right. I did in fact say, that I never said that I was going to dissolve this board. And I did not lie, what so ever.?
?Then, what is this!?? cried Miss Jesden in response.
?Because, I am NOW saying, that I am dissolving this board."
