    Summary

    Ted Spankoffski became the wealthiest executive in Hatchetfield overnight, ascending to a position in CCRP that baffles everyone in town.

    Despite being one of the most successful men known, Ted is known as the meanest man alive and treats everyone who crosses his path with indifference, caring only about his success, which often means that he deprives his employees of proper wages, and the chance to spend Christmas, a holiday he hates, with their families.

    Everyone everywhere is baffled by his success, but what they don't know is that it's all attributed to a dark deal from his past with an entity he is certain he imagined.

    But when the dreaded holiday emerges, and the demon he swore wasn't real has come to collect, Ted is visited by the ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Future to re-evaluate his own soul, and in doing so, possibly save it.

    Summary

    Well,” she says, long and drawn out, and from the glint in her eyes he can tell this is some kind of inner joke, kept from him. “I’ve been a diplomat, and a race car driver, and a chef, and an astronaut, and a veterinarian--”

    “An astronaut,” he repeats dryly. He wants to call her on her lie - but. But. How strange. There’s no indication of a lie: no rise in temperature, no quickening of her pulse, no change to her eyes, nothing.

    She laughs. “You don’t know the half of it."

    Summary

    Samuel Dalton was a complete fiction, of course, but that didn't mean that when Sam Reich snuck back upstairs to get tied up in the “out of order” bathroom, the Sam that remained on the monitor, laughing at the contestants, was a pre-recording. And if Brennan, Siobhan and Lou had snorted at the idea of a time-travelling evil magician great-grandfather (for good reason), going in with the actual truth of the matter would have sounded like jumping the shark.
    It sounded bizarre, but the time travel bit was the only part about his new partner in crime that was confirmably real. Admittedly, the jury was still out on “evil”—he gave off a weird vibe at times, but so far, no lines had been crossed, and it had all been funny as hell—so for now, Sam was willing to roll with it. But perhaps most surprisingly, there wasn’t even the possibility of blood relation between Samuel Dalton Reich and the guy who had shown up out of the blue one day with his exact face and a plan to really fuck around with things on Game Changer.
    Yeah, the whole alien thing had really ruled out that particular prospect.
    or:
    game changer gets somewhat more dangerous when sam's doppelganger turns up with ideas.
