People like you don't carry $3 million checks. That check would have sent working adults back to school in my late wife's name. Save that story for the police. I told 911 you threatened us and might be armed. You just made the most expensive mistake of your career, and it wasn't tearing the paper. Was that another threat? No. It was your last chance to verify the truth before you hurt someone else. Ms. Miss Prescott, his identification matches the foundation account. Emma, people forge IDs every day. Lock your drawer and step away. Call the issuing bank. Use its public number, not anything I gave you. I don't need a phone call to recognize a counterfeit. Then let the fraud department confirm it. That's our procedure Disobey me And you'll be clearing your desk Before he leaves in handcuffs Don't lose your job for me I'm not doing it for you I'm doing the job she refuses to do Charles, keep him away from the doors Until the police arrive Sir, keep your hands where I can see them While I understand what happened Of course My ID, tax letter And deposit instructions are already on the counter Ms. Prescott, did a scanner or fraud system flag the check? I don't need a machine to know $3 million didn't come from that coat.
