The counsel decided to keep the
matter quite before they took a brake from their work. It had become plane to all of them that there
confidentiality would be necessary. Why? Because the news that they had discovered was
worse then they had ever imagined possible.
After they had excepted that fact,
the chairman gave everyone some advise.
(Formally he had been known as a troublemaker that no one liked. However, the council had all ready decided to
follow his led, since the situation was so serious.) The chairman’s advice was
that a private detective be hired. The
board excepted his council and quickly agreed.
The
room grew quiet. Everyone was thinking
to himself, “How had over $1,000,000 disappeared from the corporation’s
accounts? Of coarse, no one knew. How could a company loose so much money
overnight? This was all together unheard
of in the banking business. If this
information got too the news media, their would be no way to stop a
scandal. Only one man knew where the
missing money was--Joseph Milborne. He
was a newcomer on the council, but he had all ready made a name for himself as
a banking genius. He choose to keep his
mouth shut, and tried to appear calm.
Remembering the passed, he recalled how he had pulled off the perfect
crime. He could feel the sweat gathering
under his cloths as the brilliant sun shown through the blinds. Than, he felt more uncomfortable then ever as
the chairman stared at him.
“Joe, since your an expert with our computer system, do you
have any explanation for what has happened?” the chairman said. “Is it possible that an outsider tapped into
our accounts and altared them in some way?”
Joe
squirmed in his seat. He choose to speak slowly and cautiously. “I here some say it is possible.”
“Well,”
said another, “I don’t see how that could happen. Its impossible to brake our code without the
password.”
Joe felt like desserting the board
room and heading out of town fast. He
all ready had the funds deposited in a Swiss bank account under a false name
that only he could access. “Their so
stupid,” he thought to himself. “There
not even suspecting me.” He’d be taking
a plain to Switzerland that evening, and than their would be no stopping
him. The thought of having all that
money to himself was having a peculiar affect upon Joe. He was hoping he wouldn’t say something too
strange or loose his head now that he was so close to being rich. Perhaps the reason he felt no guilt was because
he had never followed any ethical principals.
Than, Joe casually glanced
threw the window at his new Mercedes in the parking lot below. The whether promised to be clear
tonight--perfect for flying. Then he saw
something that made him feel week.
“Whose messing with my car?” he wondered. But it was to late. Soon Joseph Milborne would be speaking to the
police. He’d be forced to answer some
questions that were quiet difficult.
