In this short story, Childs is a son of a bitch and a bastard—literally as well as figuratively—but what he really is, is a small time con man. He's about to upgrade to the big time and go after the score of his life by bilking the software mogul, Charles Reston, out of every penny he can get. He's going to do it by convincing Reston that he's his illegitimate son, which shouldn't be too hard as the billionaire is his father. However, the problem with the long con is that you get a little too close to your mark...especially when you're looking for a father figure.

FATHER FIGURE is an audio original short story and is now available as an ebook.
