They look for an apartment in NY at night on the internet from Hartford. The time they take over the paper is set for a week from today and while Logan feels all will be ok, Rory is nervous. She doesn't think anyone will accept her as a rightful owner of Huntzberger Publishing.

"Ace I told you, you own half. There was no pre-nup to our marriage. I even own half of your coffee addiction. Stop worrying, like I told you earlier we are equally qualified for this position, we even have the same last name." He kisses her before pulling her closer to him in bed and cuddling tightly to his wife.

a few days later

"Ok Ace I know its Thursday and that's technically a school day but we have an issue with one of the sections of the Villager." Logan would say sitting next to her on the couch. He came home to New Haven because they still haven't signed the papers on their new New York place yet.

"What section?"

"Lifestyles, it's reading rather stagnant."

"Either switch the editors around so they get to know other departments or just switch categories."

"Meaning?"

"If one of the lifestyle reporters always writes about the festivals then switch things up and assign them to the theater."

"It's obvious; you're the best Mrs. Huntzberger, we put people in unusual role it'll change their writing style & ability."

"And if you're…" Rory starts.

"Ace" He corrects her subtlety.

"Our editors don't know to switch people up from time to time we need to check their references."

"Ace are you free for the meeting tomorrow."

"What time? I have a few papers to finish."

"1pm"

"Do I have to be there?"

"Ace it's our official intro."

"Which office?"

"Our headquarters it's on 5th and Park. I'll have Frank pick you up so you can work on the way. We're going to have a web conference with all the Huntzberger papers."

"Good then we only have to do this once." Rory says softly.

"Hey Ace, are you really that less than thrilled?"

"Yes I don't like being under scrutiny. Mitchum hated me when I interned for him-"

"Yes and now you own half of his pride and joy, his company. I would think that would be sweet payback." Logan would try to smirk. It was still hard to get a bearing on his actually feelings about his families deaths.

"Logan you best look at that left hand again. I own more than half."

"How do you figure Ace? I was referring to the company, you don't own me, you're just renting." He smiles.

"No way Huntzberger, I changed my name for you. I don't rent, I've got the title around here someplace that you signed."

Logan grabs Rory around the waist and pulls her to him for a kiss. "Ok I'll agree, I need you at that meeting Ace."

"Does this mean I get whatever I want when I agree to meetings?"

"Like you already don't." Logan again pulls her closer for another kiss.
the meeting

(( this section will be written in script format cos its just easier ))

L: Thanks Larry, like he said, I'm Logan Huntzberger
R: & I'm Rory Huntzberger
L: We are the new owners of Huntzberger Publishing Corporation. My great grandfather started with one paper.
R: We now have 195 worldwide. As great as we are at multitasking, Logan and I can't possibly be everywhere at once.
L: My father put everyone in charge for a reason. Because he's no longer here to tell us why- you'll have to show my wife and I the reason.
R: If we find editors who can't motivate their staff so sections don't get stagnant HR is going to hate us because we are going to be checking credentials.
L: We are here at a very sad time for all of us. A management change should never come in such a way. My time to own and run Huntzberger Publishing Corporation wasn't supposed to be for many more years. I figured my father might finally retire when he hit 80 and take up golf or something. His death along with most of the rest of my immediate family changed all that. Thankfully for me my Ace of a wife has the same education as I do. We are both formally educated in Journalism from Yale. I graduated last year and Rory is graduating in May. She's got one up on me though because this past year she spent as editor of the Yale Daily News. Feel free to come to either of us with any questions.
R: Over the next 2 months we'll be visiting various papers and areas within the papers. We're both reachable via company email.
L: Rory will also be writing from time to time. I don't know which of our papers yet we'll be publishing her in but don't be shocked if you see her byline she's amazing.
R: Will you also be writing? (She's asking Logan)
L: Only when you make me.

Logan smirks knowing that he's left her in charge per the staff, which he knows will make her a little more comfortable in her role. They end the meeting and walk around the offices. Rory and Logan decide to share the main offices of the CEO its not like they'll actually be there at the same time normally. When they are it'll most likely be in different meetings.

They'd sit down on the couch in their office to chat. "Rory which parts of the paper responsibility do you want – day to day workings or planning and forecasting?"

"I'd honestly rather handle day to day stuff its most like what I did at Yale and I'm not that much into forecast models. You tend to like to think big picture so wouldn't planning be more up your alley?"

"I was actually thinking the same thing. Now how do we get out of the all the meetings dad was always running all over the country for?"
"What were they about? Is it something we can have come to us? I honestly can't be running all over until school is over."

"A lot of his meetings I think could have been handled more effectively via technology. He never used Web Conferencing or Live Meeting and very few conference calls. I think a lot of his travel was to get away or that he just didn't know a better way."

"Lets try to keep things as local for us as possible after all we are new to all this. We could also hire someone just to go to these meetings for us and report back." Rory & Logan laugh.


They would eventually call it a day & go home. When they walk in Logan pulls Rory to him, "Thank you."

"For"


"Being my wife and loving me enough to work with me on all this."

"Not even needed Logan, I love you I'll always be here for you."
