For a twenty-something, there seemed to be a lot of paperwork on the kid. No wonder his security clearance took longer than expected. Probably also had something to do with attending three colleges, getting kicked out of two and having a father who’d spent time in jail for bilking people. The same father who had two children from two different wives, and both wives were dead. It was quite a life story. Sean’s mother died in a car accident when Sean hit nineteen and the sister, well...Bryce still couldn’t figure out where she fit in. There wasn’t so much as a photo with them together. She lost her mother to cancer and then her father did a family-restart and Sean was the result. Now it looked as if he’d been the wrong kid to hire, but he’d possessed very specific math skills described as “off the charts” by more than one reference. Human resources pushed for him to be added to the team, something about him being a near-perfect candidate in terms of aptitude.
