THE
EXPLOITS
OF THE ULTRA-HARRIERS
Ned escapes to Rio
Chapter 41
hNed and Lucky continued with their business,
2Getting bigger and richer all the time,
3Especially after the merger with the Pontifical Harrier Parish,
4iWhich is when Lucky became Vice-President for Production and Distribution,
5And helped jNed increase profits by about a thousand percent.
6kIn fact, Ned even had a cover story written about his financial services conglomerate in some national business magazine,
7Although the lreporter was nice enough to leave out the part about the Pontifical Harrier Parish,
8Which is maybe why it was such a big surprise to everybody when he came under investigation by the SEC,
9And the Department of Treasury,
10And the Interstate Commerce Commission,
11And the FBI,
12And the CIA,
13Explaining why he needed to hire the mbest criminal lawyer in the whole country,
14And probably also explaining why he lost anyway,
15nAnd would have gone to prison for life,
16Except that he skipped out on a fifty-million-dollar bond,
17oWhich left him with only seven hundred and eighty million dollars to start a new life with,
18When he got to pRio,
19Not to mention how well qLucky made out,
20When he succeeded Ned as rNumber One.
