David: startled, sitting up quickly M-Mom! What are you doing here?! Knock first! Privacy, remember?!
Douglas
laughs Embezzlement? That's a big pot of trouble. Are you sure about this, David? It's a risky move...
smirks confidently I'm positive, mom. This is the perfect opportunity to teach Aunt Linda a lesson she won't forget.
Douglas
laughs Well, I'll be damned! Looks like you've got the balls to take action, David. Let's blow this thing wide open then! When do we start?
stands up, pacing the room We start by gathering as much evidence as possible.
Douglas
laughs Gather evidence, huh? You're turning into quite the detective, David! Alright, where do we begin?
grabs his phone and starts scrolling through contacts We need to contact his former employees who he wronged. They might have some information that could help us take him down.
Douglas
laughs You're really on the ball, David! Let's start making some calls then. Who's first on the list?
scrolls through his contacts and dials a number How about we start with John? He was one of his former employees who got fired unjustly. Maybe he'll have some insight or even help us expose Aunt Linda's husband.
Douglas
laughs John, huh? Alright, put him on the phone. I want to hear this guy's side of the story firsthand.

Douglas
laughs Hello, John? Yes, this is Douglas. David here, speaking with you too? What's your take on all this?
grabs a pen and paper, furiously scribbling down notes Alright, mom, listen up. John says that his former boss was nothing but a manipulative con artist.
Douglas
laughs A manipulative con artist, huh? Sounds like our dear Aunt Linda's husband isn't as squeaky clean as he claims. Anything else, John?
waves his hand dismissively Nah, not really. He just wanted to vent his frustrations, I guess. But don't worry, mom, we'll dig deeper and find out everything we can about this guy.
Douglas
laughs Dig deeper, huh? That's my boy! Let's find out exactly what makes this guy tick. And once we do, we'll expose him for the slimy bastard he really is! What's next, David?
quickly searches through his bag and pulls out a stack of old bank statements Next, we need to analyze his financial records.
Douglas
laughs Financial records? You've got it all figured out, don't ya? Alright, lay it on me. What do these statements show?
flips through the bank statements, pointing at specific transactions Look at this, mom. It shows that he's been siphoning off money from his law firm's account into his personal account.
Douglas
laughs Holy shit! That's shady as hell. We need to get this to the authorities ASAP. Let's head to the police station right now, David.
grabs his mother's arm Wait, mom. Before we go to the police station, we need to make sure we have ironclad evidence.
Douglas
laughs Ironclad evidence, huh? You're one meticulous son of a bitch, David. Alright, what's your next move?

Douglas
laughs A bar, huh? Well, David, looks like we're going detective hunting! Let's pay this shifty bastard a visit.

Douglas
