Chapter 1-3 (exceptional)

Richard Hendricks, the low-level hooli programmer died when he had a panic attack/ spontaneous stress-induced stroke at his doctor's office. In his place, I was inserted into his body by ROB. I had all of Richards memories and more importantly intelligence, with a bonus addition of my own intelligence, confidence in creativity.

Oh, this is going to be fun.

"Oh, you just collapsed there! Are you going to be alright?", the doctor said helping me up.

"You are a bad f.u.c.k.i.n.g doctor. And I am out of here."

As I left the building, I was ambushed by the smoking hot Monica Hall.

"Richard! I am Monica. I work with Peter Gregory. We met outside of Ted…."

"Yeah. I remember you. What can I do for you, Monica.", I asked with a smile.

"Are you okay?" She asked looking back at the building I came out of and then to me.

"Panic attack! The first time someone has shown interest in my tech. Both tech giants. Both with extremely lucrative offers. I don't know which to choose and I am panicking that I won't choose wisely.", I told her genuinely what Richard was feeling a little while ago.

"Richard. Buried in that clunky algorithm of yours was a compression algorithm that blew our engineering team away. What do you think hooli is going to do with that."

"I don't know that's their business.", I said shrugging.

"But it is your baby! Do you even realize that a compression this good can have on the world? Getting any file on your mobile phone in an instant! Navigation data for self-driving cars. Mobile medical imagery, all transmitting with no quality loss. This is game-changing!" She said with wide enthusiastic eyes.

"Don't you want to be in the driver seat when it happens? Do you really want to just turn it all over to hooli and walk away?" she challenged me.

I didn't give her a reply. I just took out my phone from my back pocket. Dialled the number Jared had given me and when he picked up on the other end, "Hi is this Jared? Yeah, this is Richard. Please give my apologies to Mr Belson and thank him for the opportunity but I have decided to go with Peter Gregory. Please convey that I mean no offence but I would like to see where this road takes me. Bye Jared.", I ended the call and looked at the wide grinning Monica.

"Did anyone ever tell you, you are one hell of a motivator.", I said to Monica grinning Monica.

"Look, I am a programmer. I don't know jack shit about business. But I am willing to learn with help. But before we proceed, Peter needs to know a few things. Erlich Bachman owns 10 per cent of the company. He is an ass, but he was the first one that believed in me and gave me a place to stay and develop the app free of rent in exchange for 10%. If I were you, I would try to buy him out. Second, I assume that Peter is going to need a business plan of some sort. Well, I don't have one yet. I am going to need a few days to figure that out. I have friends with whom I stay and they are good coders and programmers. I would like to offer them 1% each.

And last but very important," I said with all seriousness I could muster, "I need you to give me a ride." That elicited a peal of melodious laughter.

"Well, the last one shouldn't be a problem. I will talk about the rest with Peter and get back to you.", that is all I ask.

XxxxxX

Chapter 2

So when I came back, I managed to convince the Big Head, Dinesh and Gilfoyel to sign on. They weren't happy with the 1%, but I put my foot down to either accept 1% of a potential billion-dollar company and future salary in millions or I would find someone else. I was quite happy when Gilfoyel said, "Richard has grown balls." So they agreed and now we were having our launch party.

And outside the window, I saw the man we were waiting for. Jared Dunn. I quickly put down my beer and got up to open the door.

"Hi, Jared. What's up?"

"Hi, Richard. I heard you were having a launch party. Am I early?"

"No. The party is just pathetic. Want to come in?", I said snorting.

"Yes please." He said presenting me the bottle of…. Something.

"Oh, and in case, Gavin sent you. I want you to know, you won't be able to convince me. I am going with Peter Gregory. I have made my decision.", I told him inviting him in and walking inside to sit on a chair and offering him one as well.

"That's not why I am here actually. Its just….watching you say no to 10 million dollars to build your own thing, there is just something very exciting about that.", he said with a wide-eyed wonder looking at me. I always felt pity for Jared when I watched the show. He was the most unappreciated character of the show.

"Whoa….Whoa…Whoa Whoa Whoa…. What the f.u.c.k are you doing here? What is he doing here? This is a private party buddy. I am gonna ask you to leave." Erlich said in a very annoying way that pissed me off.

But I didn't say anything not yet.

"Oh, I didn't mean to…" He said getting up from the chair.

"You know in the state of California you can kill a man for entering your house without permission."

"Okay. I understand. Thank you." He said with a resigned look at the insulting dismissal. He walked to the door but gathered some courage and turned back to me.

"Richard I just want to say, that I really respect what you are doing here. And if you could ever use someone with my business development skillset then I would love to be a part of this." He nodded as he said his peace.

"The f.u.c.k you will be!", Erlich the asshole announced. As Jared was just about to walk outside the door, I stopped him with a hand on his shoulder.

"Jared, do you trust me? Do you believe in me?", I asked Jared looking him in the eye.

He didn't reply for a few seconds but then his answer came. "Yes".

"1%. You are hired. Don't fail me, Jared. Now come inside and enjoy the party as shitty as it is.", I said slinging an arm around his shoulder and bringing him in. By the shocked, surprised and then an extremely happy look, he seemed agreeable to the arrangement.

"The f.u.c.k?",Erlich exclaimed. Others were just looking on in wonder at the new Richard.

"Holyshit! Who are you and what did you do to Richard.", That was Gilfoyle.

"I am an alien face snatcher who killed and buried Richard in a desert and stole his face. And now in looking for new victims. Preferably with one's with a beard like yours.", I said in a monotone voice filled with dry sarcasm.

"Cool," he said in a similar dry voice but with a twitch of his lips into a smile as he took another sip of his beer and turned back to his work station.

I felt Erlich was about to reprimand me when the doorbell rang and his present to us arrived. I am not the old Richard and if I had to pay the dam stripper then at least I was going to get a strip dance. By the end of the night, all of us were wasted, I had managed to get multiple lap dances and even got Jared, Dinesh and Bighead a few. Their faces were hilarious for the first few but then they eventually relaxed. The best part was that I managed to get Erlich so wasted that he ended up paying instead of me.

XxxxxX

The next day, Jared started working on the business plan. He also sat down with all the members of the team to understand what their role would be with the company. I wanted things to go the same way did on the show with Big Head. So as Big Head heard all the terrible things Gilfoyel, Dinesh and Elrich said about him. The crack about Mass Effect 3 was especially cruel according to me.

Big Head was gone all night and then as in the show, I went to find him at the hookers place, we had a heart to heart and he decided he was quitting silicon valley. He departed from there to pack up his cubical at Hooli where I knew he would be snatched up by Gavin Bellson.

I got home at Seven-ish in the morning.

"Jared!", I called out to the sleeping Jared as I closed the door.

"Sorry. I am sorry that I was sleeping.", he said waking up with a shock from the desk.

Hearing my voice others came to the hall as well.

"So… Richard should I add Big Head to the tables or not?", Jared asked.

"Big Head is out. He was leaving the valley but I think he got hired by Gavin. I am not sure but I think he wanted to get back at me for stealing you away from him.", I said.

"How do you know?", Dinesh asked in shock.

"I have my sources.

Jared! You are with me. We need to lock a business deal down and then I need you to do what you have to, to register Pied Piper as a company. I don't think peter will cut a check for my personal account.", I said giving Jared marching orders.

"Yes boss.", he said taking his laptop and following me to the kitchen.

I came back into the room to look at Gilfoyle. "Gilfoyle, you are good at hacking correct? I need to talk to you later to help me with a f.u.c.k up."

XxxxxX

So I got the call from Big Head I was expecting. Gavin Belson was trying to rip me off with Nucleus. He even went and announced without having a product ready or the algorithm figured out.

We also had our meeting with Peter. He liked the business plan but we told him to hold off on giving us the cheque till we could register the Pied Piper name. But we did sign an agreement so neither of us could back out now.

Right now I was sitting at my work station in the Incubator, experimenting with Richard's brain and using it create things using the ideas I saw on the show, that Richard hadn't even thought off yet.

"Richard….", Jared tried to grab my attention as I was working on the algorithm.

"Hmm…"I answered Jared.

"Richard we have a problem with the name Pied Piper. Someone already owns the name and runs a business with that name in California. So we need to change that name.", Jared told me.

Then everybody started giving me shit about the name. I just took it all in with a smile. I liked the name it was going to stay. Thankfully this time I hadn't bought a Margareta machine or ugly shirts so I had flexibility when it came to the name.

"Name stays. Jared, I have a job for you. Go down to whoever owns that name and buy it for me. Your spending limit is 3k max. If they don't agree, just add a 'P' to Piper. That should protect us on the legal side. And when and if you make a handshake deal, close it down with paperwork as fast as possible. I don't want him to get greedy later on when he hears about how big the company potential is. Can I trust you with this Jared?", I asked Jared with one hand on his shoulder looking him in the eyes.

"You can count on me, Richard. I won't disappoint you.", He responded as a loyal puppy would to its master. There are times I feel bad about manipulating Jared like this, but he was hungry for appreciation, love and friends and I was dam well going to give it to him in exchange for his loyalty.

"Of course I can. I have complete trust in your ability.", he shook his head like a soldier would and left the house to complete his mission.

"I definitely like this Richard better." I head Dinesh whisper to Gilfoyle. I said nothing but smiled and got back to work.

By the end of the day, the name was ours for 2000 dollars with all the papers signed. I rewarded Jared by taking him out to the bar and buying him drinks and dinner and loudly acknowledging his contribution to all the patrons of the bar by raising a glass in a toast.

I didn't think I would ever see him this happy. Next day Pied Piper was all over the internet creating a buzz with no backlash. Well except for Erlich somehow still managing to kidnap a child from a gas station.

Chapter 3

"Hey, Jared! What are your plans for tonight?", I asked as I came back from the lawyer's office.

"Ohh, I have big plans for tonight. I am planning on having Palak Paneer and watching a doc.u.mentary about Liberia. Why?", Jared replied to my query.

"Oh well, if you have your plans then I won't bother you. But Peter Gregory is having a Toga party tonight. Rest of us are going but if you don't want to….", I left it hanging. I didn't have to wait for long.

"Yes. No. I mean I would very much like to come with you guys. You know to be a part of the gang. Do you think they will have gelatin shots?", He asked in a rapid-fire speech.

"Why don't we find out together? We leave at 9."

XxxxxX

"I get the feeling that I should have worn more than my underwear and a bedsheet!", I said as I entered a party. The hotness levels of girls here was like... wow!

Others made some comments but I ignored them as not important. I am pretty sure Jared thanked me profusely before he went searching for Gelatin shots. My eyes, however, were grabbed by smoking hot greek goddess as she came towards me.

"Richard!", she said came towards me with a champaign glass in her hand.

"Wow! I mean like Wow!", I said admiring her from top to bottom but trying to not appear creepy. Let's try a cheesy pickup line.

"Did it hurt?", I asked and as I saw her questioning face, I continued, "You know when you fell from heaven because you look like an angel!" What a reward her melodious laughter was.

"You are terrible!", she replied grinning.

"You are beautiful!", I grinned back.

She smiled shyly at that.

"So Peter met with LaFlamme today and signed the paperwork which means that pied piper is officially launched.", she said changing the topic.

"I saw what you did there. Fine. So why didn't you tell me about all the other compression companies Peter was seeding.", I asked shocking her.

"What?! No, its nothing you need to worry about because none of those other companies have your vision.", she tried to reassure me.

"My vision?"

"Yes, your vision. Speaking of your vision, Peter wants you to come in on Friday to talk company big picture that kind of stuff. You know layout your vision in broad strokes."

"Fine, I will be there. So what are you drinking?", I asked Monica, already being prepared for this.

"Screwdriver, you want one?", she replied.

"I want you… I mean that…. I will now go get that drink.", I fake stumbled and moved on. I knew it wasn't the right time to make a move on her. I wouldn't want to date me right now as well. But hopefully soon. If not there were other fish in the sea.

I walked over to where Dinesh and Gilfoyle were hanging out and took a glass of whisky on the rocks and started drinking. But I was pacing myself as in no way shape or form did I want to offer Erlich a place on the board while drunk, as it had happened in cannon.

Then two pretty ladies walked over to us, who I had no recollection of seeing on the show. They must not be important.

"Cool costume! Where did you get it?", the pretty blonde asked. She was accompanied by smoking hot brown skilled brunet. Who was wearing the most eye-catching bustier.

"Umm…My bed.", I replied truthfully, but with a smile and a little bit more confidence.

"Oh… you are funny.", she tried to play me. And just like that, it came to me, who they were.

"And you are very pretty. You are so pretty in fact that I bet you do not know Peter Gregory at all. You know, from your looks and your personality I think you are….hmm… let me guess… actresses?", I said already knowing that they were, in fact, actresses, but it still shocked them.

"How did you know?", the pretty brunet asked.

"I am sorry I didn't catch your name. I am Richard, this is Dinesh and Gilfoyle. You are my lady?", I asked with my best charm. By the way, she smiled I just might get lucky. I knew I had no chance with the blond as she was here with her boyfriend.

"Oh… hehe… sorry about that… I am Anastasia and this is my friend Brooke.", she said giggling.

"It's very nice to meet you girls. The answer to your question about how I know, well I might not be as pretty as you but I am really really smart. You see, Peter over there has just invested in our company Pied Piper, which is going to be the next billion-dollar idea and I am its founder and CEO. So can I get you, girls, a drink or are you here with somebody?", I asked with a grin. Seeing their eyes light up in dollar signs hearing the worlds SMART, BILLION DOLLARS and CEO was very amusing. God bless gold diggers. To my surprise, not just Anastasia but Brooke as well agreed to let me get them a drink and told me they were here alone. Gilfoyle and Dinesh had their jaws dropped as I moved away with the two pretty ladies.

The next morning I woke up in a hotel room with a black eye and two girls…Anastasia and Brooke snuggle into me from both sides.

Then it came back to me. The drinking, them grinding into me on the dance floor, Brooks boyfriend punching my face and me kneeing him in the balls, then my escape with the two ladies, finding a hotel room as I refuse to take them back to the incubator and then the mindblowing s.e.x. Wow, these girls knew some stuff. And now me waking up next to them. Looks like little Richard is awake as well. Let's see if I can get another round out of them.

It was 4 in the evening by the time I reached home and was met with a standing ovation from Dinesh, Gilfoyle and Jared. Erlich wasn't talking to me as I had straight out refused to have him on the board last night no matter how much he insisted.

I was kind of pissed right now at him as well, as he went behind my back and had LaFlamme draft the doc.u.ments that included him on the board. Well, he is shit out of luck as I wasn't going to sign it.

"Dude you left with the two girls! What happened?", Dinesh asked.

"I thought you knew what happened, that why you were clapping.", I told them in confusion.

"We were clapping about you kneeing that Steroid addled Jock in balls. Do not for one second think you can fool us in thinking something actually happened between you and those girls. You probably just gave them cab fare and maintained a respectable distance chickening out once you left the part.", that was Gilfoyle.

"…"

"…" "…" "…"

I didn't say anything. I just took out my phone, opened the gallery with a password and showed them the picture I asked them to let me take to remember them by. Also with a promise of calling them again in the future, which I wasn't going to do…maybe. The shock on their faces was amazing.

"How did you do that?", Erlich asked?

"I think you mean, How did I do them?", I asked with an innocent expression and then promptly broke out into fits of laughter. Somehow I was managed to control myself and tell them in a conspiratory whisper, "The answer is TOGETHER and Whole Night Long and Whole Morning and Afternoon. Eat that Bitches. Now I am going to go take a shower and go to sleep." I said moving away laughing. I am pretty sure someone or all of them called me ass hole.

XxxxxX

It was Friday and Jared and I were sitting in Peter's Lobby waiting to be called in. Suddenly Erlich burst's in through the door. I visibly groaned seeing him. These past few days had been a headache dealing with him. We had multiple shouting matches with him wanting a place on the board and me refusing multiple times. Thank god for Anastasia. She had agreed to see me again, as I had called her frustrated after having one of my shouting matches with Erlich and need to blow off some steam. Brooke had backed out thought, not wanting to be a part of a three-way thing, and I was fine with that. Anastasia was hotter anyways. We went on two dates and both dates ended in mind-blowing s.e.x. If Richard was alive he would have been jumping up and down in joy for getting so much action. Though he was not a v.i.r.g.i.n before this, his s.e.x life left a lot to be desired.

"Richard listen," Erlich began. I visibly groaned again. Here comes the emotional speech. "I may have been wrong about being a board member. And I may be wrong about being steve jobs in our relationship. But I do know this, You are my steve Wozniak and no woz should go in into a meeting like that alone."

"No Actually…" I started replying but he interrupted me again. "So just let me come in, then I won't speak. And I think you should have somebody in there that actually has your back.", he finished.

"Okay. I am not going there alone, Jared is going in there with me.", I could see from his face he was about to erupt in the middle of my investor office at that, so I hastily continued, "Though you can come in if you promise to shut up and let me do the talking." I laid down my condition.

"You want to do the talking? You? Are you sure you can handle it? I am surprised you haven't pissed or cream yourself yet.", he said condescendingly. I just smirked and leant closer to his ear and said, "Unlike you, I have someone to su*k my b*lls off so that I am relaxed before a meeting. And she loves doing it too."

I could see a flash of jealousy in his eyes at that. But he kept his mouth shut. "If you want to come in you have to keep your mouth shut. Do we have a deal." I extended my hand for him to shake on the deal.

"Your funeral. Don't come crying to me later." I just smirked.

"Guys, Peter is ready for you.", I heard Monica's voice from behind me. I looked back to see her and her smile seemed a little strained looking at me.

"Hey, Monica! Yeah, we are ready too. Let us go. Gentlemen, Erlich, after you." I said gesturing with my hand ahead for them to proceed.

As we settled down Peter got to the point and asked for my vision. Erlich was waiting smugly for me to freak out and pass the mantle onto him. Jared on the other was making the face of an adorable loyal puppy with an encouraging look. I shook the image from my mind it was too distracting.

"Today's users want access to all of their files, from all of their devices, instantly. That is why cloud-based is the holy grail. Now dropbox is winning that game for now. But when it comes to audio and video files, they might as well be called dropbox." Peter laughed his weird little laugh at that. I felt I was on the right track so I continued, "Using our platform, Pied Piper users would be able to compress all of their files to the point where they could truly access them instantly. We control the pipe, they just use it. That's the vision in my head.", I completed. Looking at the reactions around me, I saw Peter and Jared were all smiles. Monica had a look in her eyes that said she had just acquired a new piece of information about me and was revaluating her opinion about me based on that. Erlich, on the other hand, had his jaw dropped. Understandable as I ripped off his speech word for word.

"Sure….Sounds fine.", Peter said back with a neutral expression. "Oh, I received an email from LaFlamme saying that this gentleman is going to be our third board member?" he continued.

No one said anything for a few seconds. Then I replied, "Not at this time. I am still evaluating what value Mr Erlich can bring to the board. So far the evaluation is not going well. Those papers were an incentive for him to try harder, they shouldn't have had been mailed to you yet. Please ignore them for now.", I told Peter not looking at Erlich as I knew this was his doing.

"Fine." One word reply and then he got back to work dismissing us.

I got up immediately not waiting for him to actually dismiss us verbally. Other stood up following me as well. As we got out of peters office with both guys and Monica following, I turned around and got in Erlich's face, "You pull one more stunt like that and you will be done. Do you understand?"

"Yes.", Erlich said not meeting my eyes and soon shuffled off.

"Jared can you give me and Monica a minute.", I said looking at Jared.

"Sure, I will go wait by the car.", he said and I replied by nodding.

"So, trouble in paradise?", Monica began before I could.

"Yes, you could say that. Any progress in acquiring his share?", I asked her.

"No. He flat out refused.", she said shaking her head.

"F.u.c.k. Life is going to become really difficult for me now.", I said groaning.

"So how are you doing?", she asked out of the blue.

"Umm…fine. Why do you ask?", I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh… you know… the black eye. Though it looks like its healing.

You know I head a funny rumour.", she said looking me directly in the eye.

"And what's the rumour?" I enquired now interested, Erlich forgotten for the moment.

"Oh it's a silly rumour about the party that night. That you left the party with two actresses we hired to spice up the party.", she asked slyly. I smirked internally at that but outwardly somehow managed to control my emotions.

"Well I had to leave, the jealous boyfriend socked me across the face and I kicked him in the balls. Party kind off blows after something like that happens.", I told her.

"So nothing happened between you and the girls?", she asked. And I could immediately see the regret on her face as that slipped out of her mouth. She didn't want me to know she was jealous. Wow, she is jealous this early. Or she could just be intrigued. Now how to play this.

I finally decided on a plan of action. I leaned in as if to whisper a secret and as she leaned in as well.

I kissed her on her cheek and leaned back smiling, turned around and walked away.
