章 30: Chapter 30: Fallout

Michael turned to John and Ellen, speaking in an impossibly calm voice.  “Let me tell you how this is going to go.  You two will resign, effective immediately.  I already have the paperwork drawn up.  All you have to do is sign.  You will leave the building and never return.”

John smirked at Michael.  “What makes you think we’re going to sign anything?  You have no idea what happened here.  Your girl attacked me.  Ellen can tell you.”  He looked at Ellen, who seemed less sure of herself.

“I know exactly what happened here.  It’s all recorded on security video.  Smile for the cameras, John.” He pointed to the corner.

John looked momentarily surprised.  Then he turned to Michael.  “You recorded us without our knowledge?  You know that’s not admissible in court.”

“I have you on video threatening to rape your colleague.  Do you think your wife will care if it’s admissible in court?”  He addressed the security guards. “Keep them here.  I’ll be right back.”
