Ooh, it's back! And hm, Ryan, best laid plans, huh? Though the two of them at a business together was also enjoyable, I didn't think Ryan could pull that together in just a year while adjusting to a completely new job with new responsibilities. Though I wonder if Ryan thought that.
And Jim, heh, he's sure going to figure out why he's going in for management training. He's too observant not to and Ryan seems to lose any kind of poker face with Jim. Pam being along will also makes this even more interesting. Looking forward to all the reactions(and Michael's!) to this development.
And yay again for you picking up the story again!
Author's Response: I just couldn't help myself, and had to return to this universe. We haven't really seen Ryan show much business acumen beyond his books, so it would be hard to imagine him launching somehting quite so quickly. Plus, I wanted to revisit this dynamic again with them still in the DM universe. There will be some interesting moments as this turn of events shakes down. (Or moments I hope to be interesting.)rnrnThank you so much for all your great reviews of this story. I really appreciate it.

wow - what a great ending. and what a perceptive idea, to pair them together (but not like that - although that would've been ok too!). great series.
Author's Response: Thanks! This was my first fic, and it was just one of those ideas that kept rattling in my head and needed release. I think the contrast between Ryan and Jim really shows who each of them is, because on some level they seem a lot alike. They are both young males who are cognizant of the craziness around them, but they handle it in completely different ways. It's been interesting trying to explore that.
