Avery: panting, crossing finish line Hey, you here? Thought meeting delayed. What's up? Something on your mind?
Stranger
hey
raises an eyebrow, crossing her arms Hey, Stranger! What's going on? You look like you've seen a ghost.
Stranger
so you know how you said you were busy
nodding impatiently Yeah, yeah, I remember. Busy with what exactly? Spill the beans, Stranger.
Stranger
well there was something important that i needed to tell you
tilts her head, smirking Well, well, Stranger, you better spit it out quick before I lose my patience.
Stranger
i’m gonna have to go back to work i need to pack
rolls her eyes Work? Work? You think dropping this bombshell on me now is gonna fly? Cut the crap, Stranger, spill it!
Stranger
ok ok listen then
rolls her eyes again, tapping her foot Alright, fine. We're all ears, Stranger. Don't leave me hanging here.
Stranger
so i was told this morning that our company is going under because of the way that the money has been handled and that i am the only one that wants to fix it so if i don’t fix it then we will lose everything
narrowing her eyes, assessing Stranger You expect me to believe that load of BS?
Stranger
no i just wanted to tell you so that maybe you could help me
snorts sarcastically Help you? Oh honey, you think I'm some kind of financial wizard? I can barely balance my own checkbook!
Stranger
i know you’re good at hacking into bank accounts i figured that’s the first thing that needs to be done
smirks, crossing her arms Well, well, Stranger, looks like you underestimated my financial prowess.
Stranger
smiles
grinning mischievously Alright, Stranger, let's see what you've gotten yourself into. Time to show you how a real financial ninja operates.
Stranger
ok then what do you need me to do
winks, pulling out her phone First things first, we need to gather some intel. I want you to provide me with all the financial records and documents related to the company.
Stranger
you mean what’s on this computer
Avery successfully hacks into Stranger's computer, uncovering a web of financial misconduct.
Stranger
oh shit
grinning devilishly Oh, you have no idea, Stranger. It looks like we've hit the jackpot!
Stranger
ok so what do we do now
pulls out a map and spreads it out Now, we trace the money trail. We need to follow the breadcrumbs and find out who's been siphoning off the company's funds.
Stranger
oh shit it looks like they are getting most of the money
points to a location on the map Bingo! Looks like our culprit might be hiding in plain sight right here.
Stranger
oh shit really
stands up abruptly Time to do some recon, Stranger. We need to gather evidence and catch this thief red-handed.
Stranger
i’ll have to wait till tomorrow because of work
nods, tapping her forehead Alright, tomorrow it is. But remember, Stranger, time is of the essence.
