"Ahh.
I remember packaging and mailing that". Lucy emphasized the word. that. So yeah, I read the letter, and yes it was Major who sent it. Major is his first name. He is not an Army officer. What he said to me was if you called to say he wouldn't be back for a while, but to tell you nothing else. This would not be unusual. Not that there's anything else to tell, although I noticed that he did not offer to pay you. "
"What precisely does he do?" Caydance asked.
"He's a venture capitalist."
Even if for Caydance an explanation was not necessary, she listened carefully as Lucy explained. "What that means is that people with inventions talk him into getting them money. He’s pretty good at getting wierd things funded. You wouldn't believe how much money some of these things get. I can send you a retainer. He left me a lot of signed blank checks. "
