He had planned to sleep at his palatial office. Shut his eyes in darkness. Open them to light. Hed peer out his window. Survey a well-manicured lawn. Then get to work. Because he loved his job. He really did.
He was a 38-year-old Midwestern transplant, who after three nomadic decades had found a home out west. Work had initially lured him to Los Angeles. Life had attached him. Hed graduated from early adulthood here. Learned a ton. Married. Had kids. Hed traveled north for a payday, then bolted east for a great job, then returned for his dream job. And in September 2013, even as he struggled, he couldnt imagine leaving it.
Until, on a return flight after a business trip, he got the note. His boss wanted to meet. Not tomorrow. Tonight. And not in his office, not even at company headquarters, but in a private room at Los Angeles International Airport.
