“Hey Chuck pass me the beef and broccoli.”
“Here you go Don-ALD.” Charlie replied as he passed the container to his brother.
Don grinned as he took it. He looked around at the other table’s occupants, “Anybody want more before I polish it off?”
Amita, David and both Colby shook their heads no. Megan answered, “Umm, let me have one more piece of broccoli.”
“Sure,” he said as he laid two pieces of broccoli on her plate before spooning the remainder out on his plate.
A moment or so later Alan came through the front door. He smiled and greeted his sons and their guests as he came into the dining room.
“Hey, Pop wanna join us for dinner? There’s plenty left.” asked Don.
“Yeah Dad, let me get you plate.”
“No boys thank you, I’m fine but I will join you in conversation. I’m gathering that by your relaxed attitudes that you were able to close the case successfully.”
“Yes we did Alan,” replied Megan.
Colby added, “Yeah Whiz Kid was able to cut through some of the data allowing us to analyze it faster.”
“Ah, it was nothing. I just took all your quantitative variables and set them through a Bayesianfilter to better sift through what is credible data and it was Amita’s idea to apply Naive Bayes classifier which further simplified the data.”
“Well, Charlie whatever you did it worked,” responded David.
Don squeezed his brother shoulder, “Good work Buddy. You too Amita.” He gave his whole team a pointed look, “Good job all around.”
David nodded at Don’s comment before turning to Megan and asking, “Mind passing me one of those fortune cookies?”
“I’ll take one of those too,” said Amita.
“You got it.” Megan tossed a cookie to everyone. There was one cookie left she turned to Alan, “Alan there’s one left want one?”
“Sure why not?” Alan said with a smile.
Megan opened hers and ate one half of the cookie before she said out loud. “Oh yeah this is so true. ‘Your great attention to detail is both a blessing and a curse.’ Don’t I know it?”
Amita cracked hers open first she read it and let out a small laugh.
Charlie looked over at her and asked, “So what’s it say?”
She replied, “When angry, count to ten before you speak; if very angry, then a hundred.”
Charlie chuckled, “That’s a good one. David what’s yours say?”
David looked at his, “Plan for many pleasures ahead.”
“Now that sounds promising, “ Colby said, “Mine says ‘Never be dumb, eat smart.’ What’s that suppose to mean?”
“I guess you’re out of luck there Colby,” smirked Megan.
“Yeah, yeah whatever.” Colby answered. “Your turn Charlie.”
“Ummm ok, let’s see.” He looked down at the fortune his face turning slightly pink.
“Well come on buddy what’s it say?” asked Don.
He cleared his throat and read, “You have a fascinating sex life."
Amita let out a little giggle and blushed along with Charlie.
Don laughed at the look on Charlie’s face but quickly stifled it as he read his.
Megan looked at Don puzzled by his reaction, “Don? So what’s yours say?”
He exhaled loudly before saying “The same as Charlie.” He scratched his head, ‘I wonder what the chances are that we got the same fortune?”
“Hmm? Well, if I quantify all the variables and add in all the possible variations of fortunes…” Charlie started to say before Don cut him off.
“So a lot?”
“Yeah, a lot.” Charlie looked at his dad who had a bemused look on his face. “So Dad what did yours say?”
Alan shook his head, “Apparently, my fortune plays into yours a bit.” He gave both of his sons a devious smile before getting up from the table to go into the kitchen.
Charlie looked at Don who in turned shrugged. “Okay.” Charlie leaned over and picked up his dad’s discarded fortune to read it. As he read it his face drained of color, “Uh Don, I think we’re in trouble.” He signed in resignation as he read it, “Your children will multiply adding to your wealth.”
Don audible groaned as he closed his eyes. “They’ll be no stopping him now.”
