Your dad, Scott Hayward, made a deal with this guy, Tom, that he could play Scott for a few weeks so he could live a peaceful and non rich life with you for a little while. Your grandfather owned an oil company so your family was rich as ever. You and Scott were staying in a little hotel room, as normal people, and he had spent 10 bucks on a boat.. not a very good boat though, a whole chunk of it was gone out of the front. he was trying to figure out how to fix it.
