Vino: snatches the letter UCAS, huh?! How the hell did you get in, of all people?!
So how do we get this out to the public then?
grabs his laptop and starts setting up a press conference We're gonna go live on every major news platform, Hernandez.
Ok so how do we find a journalist
starts typing furiously Don't worry, my friend. I've got a list of every major journalist in the city. We'll find someone who can expose this university for what it really is.
Alright let’s move forward with this plan
quickly scans through the list of journalists Alright, I think I've found the perfect person for the job - a journalist who's been exposing corrupt institutions.
So they already want to take down this university anyways we should reach out to them
immediately dials the journalist's number and starts speaking with fervor Hello, this is Vino.
Hernandez calls the journalist too
speaking with urgency and conviction Listen up, journalist! We've got concrete evidence of the university's fraudulent activities.
Hey I’m Hernandez, we have proof that the university has been paying professors to keep graduate numbers up and also been paying students to keep freshman retention rates up
interrupts, speaking rapidly Yes, yes, Hernandez! We have the smoking gun, the missing piece of the puzzle.
So they’re basically committing fraud to keep the university looking good
slams his fist on the table Bingo! They're manipulating the numbers, coercing the professors, and deceiving the students. It's a fraudulent scheme, and we have the proof to expose it!
grabs a stack of printed documents and starts shuffling through them We have real student records, real professor statements, and real financial documents.
immediately starts packing up the documents into a briefcase We need to meet with this journalist ASAP.
Yeah where should we meet
Vino and Hernandez decide to meet the journalist at a secluded café downtown, away from prying eyes and potential interference from the university.
Alright let’s meet with him
immediately dials the journalist's number We're meeting you at the café downtown in 10 minutes. Make sure to come alone and wear a cap and mask - we can't afford any slip-ups.
quickly gathers all the necessary documents and stuffs them into a nondescript briefcase We need to be careful, Hernandez. These documents are our only shot at exposing the university.
grabs Hernandez by the collar and pulls him closer Look, Hernandez, I trust you too.
