“No idea,” Mark replied honestly.

“So why are you filming?” Rebecca asked.

“For evidence,” Mark explained seriously. “If Tom gets hurt, we can use this video to make the other guy cover Tom’s medical expenses. If Tom knocks him out, this video proves the guy’s guilty.”

Rebecca realized Mark and Tom really were quick–witted.

Especially Tom.

The moment that middle–aged guy came rushing over, Tom didn’t hesitate for a second–he just called him “Dad.” outsmarting even her, the boss.

As she thought about it, Rebecca sent Tom a message, telling him to go along with the police and call her whenever he needed help.

Just as she hit send, Max Quinn walked in from outside. Clad in a black suit, he looked even more cold and businesslike than usual. He locked eyes with her and said, “I’ll make sure you get the full story about what happened out there.”

“Okay,” Rebecca nodded.

“This has the company’s organization chart and profiles for the leadership,” Max added, passing her the documents. “Go through them, and when you’re done, I’ll take you to meet everyone.”

Rebecca took the folders and said, “Sounds good.”

Rebecca’s mom had already run through everybody’s details with her at home, so she pretty much had everyone’s info memorized. Still, even if she already knew it all, she had to go through the whole routine for show.

Twenty minutes later, she skimmed through all the files.

Her mom’s version had been way more thorough–this one was just the bare essentials.

“All done, Rebecca said as she handed the files back to Max.

Over the next hour, Max led her on a full tour of every department in the company, introducing her to the managers and briefing her on how things worked everywhere. By the time they finished, Rebecca had met almost everyone on those files–just a handful were out on business trips and she didn’t get to see them.

Once they wrapped up, Max glanced at her. “Anything else you’d like to know? Just say the word.”

“I need to let all of this sink in first,” Rebecca replied, not giving any more requests. “We can cover the rest

Max just nodded, saying nothing more.
