More DescriptionSex and Love, transfers the center of activity increasingly to Columbus and leaves the management of Dan's Las Vegasoffice to the abandoned wife of John Meeker, Veronica, who became enamored with Dan. Monica disappears and Dan finds her sedated and tied to an elevated platform in Green's torture lab. Dan rescues her, finding her injured and traumatized. He promptly cancels all her call-girl obligations and as she recovers, sets her up to train the actors in Zumanity to behave as if they were having sex without actually doing so. Monica and her lover, Robert, make high definition videos involving actual intercourse in various compelling ways as instructional aids for the actors and in limited cases to actually have intercourse with selected actors.Word gets out that a Sheikh from Abu Dhabi has bid five million dollars to acquire Monica for his harem in the Arab Emirates. Joe Green shows up at the rehearsal studio to physically claim Monica. To Robert's surprise she falls into Green's arms and encourages him to make love to her. Furious and disappointed Robert strikes Green with a baseball bat to the left-hand side of his cranium which kills him. Quietly in the night they dump his body in a trash container on the poor side of town. Dan orders them to leave Vegas and to disappear in the vicinity of Yellowstone park until further notice.Operations in Columbus under the management of Dan's favorite woman, Donna, expand rapidly in new directions and she takes the initiative tomarry Dan, recognizing that he attracts and would maintain close relationships with other important women in his professional life to bear him children.An important new event is the Cavalia division of Cirque de Soleil setting out to develop a more advanced equestrian show named "Odysseo" that packs much more action into a shorter time frame. Donna contracts with highly regarded dressage trainer, Jennifer Roth, to help the Canadian company overcome its vexing timing problems. Jennifer, Dan discovers, is the product of a broken relationship with another dressage rider earlier in her life, and using her French language ability, she takes a shine to Philippe Basson, the French manager of the Odysseo project. They work well together training dressage horses to dothe routines with time sensitivity to prevent show dislocations and she stays behind for a week in Quebec. Forewarned by Morgan Stanley that Phillippe is impotent and cannot be the father of his two children, Dan's concern becomes Jennifer's response when she discovers this. He draws this to Donna's attention since she chose Jennifer for the job. Donna concludes that a Spanish national, Xavier, working with Phillippe would know what to do. Dan goes to see Jennifer at her barn upon her return from Quebec. She acknowledges her disappointment with Phillippe, says she has no more than a platonic professional relationship with Xavier and would like to take Dan up on his glib earlier remark to help make her the children she obviously craved having. In awe of herequestrian abilities and strong personality, Dan accepts her invitation to spend the night with her. It goes well beyond either of their expectations andcreates a permanent bond. They agree to take on the services of Xavier from Cavalia to help Jennifer establish a training barn in Southern California tofulfill the dressage horse needs for the first American show of Odysseo in Phoenix, Arizona, while also training horses in Columbus for fill-in and future Odysseo show needs.In the meantime, Dan and his trusted engineering manager, Peter, focus their attention on future trends in the trade show business away from large show venues to much more dynamic meetings along technology lines. Peter had hired a brilliant young consultant, Doris Woodruff, with help from John Meeker to develop a strategy for the future.
