You head back to Vivek's desk.
"Mr. Ranadive?"
He ignores you. You set the key on his desk and walk away. As you head toward the door, not knowing what your future holds, Vivek speaks up.
"Hey, Vlade? Before you leave. Will you come with me?"
Confused, you oblige him. You follow him into a strange door, unlike anything you have ever seen. As you enter what appears to be some sort of elevator, Vivek cheers up.
"Don't forget what happened to the man who suddenly got everything he always wanted, Vlade."
"Are you O.K., Vivek? Didn't you just fire me?"
"Don't you understand, Vlade? You won! Even through all that, you gave me back the key to the team! This is your team, Vlade! This is your team!"
Vivek presses a button, and you suddenly go up, through the roof, floating down the Sacramento skyline, eventually landing at the future Golden 1 Center. As you exit, your entire team greets you, as well as the coaches, employees, and fans.
"1, 2, 3, Vlade Rocks!"
Out of the corner of your eye, you see Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and Deandre Jordan, rolling their eyes in disgust. Vivek approaches them.
"I told you he wouldn't let me down." he says. Chris Paul slams a dollar into Vivek's hand.
"Yeah, yeah. It won't last. I will get you Vlade Divac! Heed my words. I will end you!"
"Yeah!" Deandre shouts.
"Blake Griffin!" Blake Griffin sneers.
The three hooligans jump on their three man bike and angrily ride back to Los Angeles.
Vivek throws you a party in celebration of passing this test. You are ready for another year. You passed the test. This IS your team…
Oh Vlade! Oh Vlad-ah. Life goes on…
