Evidence had been mounting for months. At first Ryan had thought that what he was seeing had to be some sort of error with the in house accounting software his company employed. But when he dug deeper he saw that what he had first discounted as a glitch was one of the most audacious and cleverly backed embezzlement schemes he had ever seen. Through a complex series of transactions with companies that only appeared to exist on paper hundreds of thousands of dollars had been siphoned out of the company. Not just any money either, the bailout money the business had received from the government. At first Ryan Miller could not believe his eyes: it was brilliant.

Complex transaction, mostly automated, were being performed that swapped money through multiple accounts with a different fictitious company each time, tens of thousands of dollars of the largely unnoticed and unregulated credit default swaps had been made at a time. Mostly with paper shell companies that existed only in small Mediterranean countries noted for bank and corporate secrecy. If the accountant had not been fooling around with the overly complicated program he never would have stumbled across the first evidence of this theft. It had taken him more than a few weeks to find the culprit. It was one of his coworkers, one who he had secretly admired for some time, and then an idea bloomed. He would give her all the rope she needed to hang herself with. Then, when they were next assigned to a project together and alone past normal working hours he would lay down the evidence before her.

This would be the night. He had put the folder of evidence in his briefcase that morning, knowing they would be pulling a late night. It was eight thirty when he called his coworker over to his desk and opened up the suit case. "I have something to show you," he said, looking intently into his brown leather suitcase. He slapped a thick folder down on the neat table and pushed it towards her, his sensual lips drawn into a small smile, blue eyes soft and open. There was something about his face that made him seem trustworthy, something about the way he held himself that made him seem so accessible. He had already rolled the sleeves of his button-up shirt to his elbows, blazer hung on the back of his swivel chair. "Look familiar?"
 
Jessica woke up early, she always was a responsible woman until a couple of months ago where she found a glitch on her company she could abuse, the temptation was too great. It was a simple glitch, something that she could use to get a lot of money from the company she was working in. After a couple of months she had grabbed thousands and thousands of dollars but she was careful, she placed the money on different accounts under different names. Finally it had come to the day where she could live in peace without stealing anymore, she did not need to.

She knew she was playing a dangerous game, but she also knew there was almost no chance of getting cought doing it, if she did then she was screwed. Not only she would be fired but her life would be ruined and most likely she would go to jail and her life would be over. She acted innocent at work, not really having any idea about anything related to electronics but in fact she was a genious in it.

The day at her office went on like normal. She was informed she would stay late today but she did not mind, she needed to make them think she was willing to do the work for them. After the rest of the office left she was called up tot he office of her boss and a folder with some papers were handed to her. It was all there, all the money she stole and everything she did. After taking a deep breath she smirked, "This must be some kind of a joke right? how the hell am I going to do all these things? I mean I barely know how to acess my Email much less steal money from the company. I think you got the wrong person boss really" it was strong evidence, but she thought she could still get away with it if she played the innocent girl. All that showed were the numbers linking to her name, somebody could easily taken her ID and used it. "I suggest you looking for the right person and putting him or her to jail boss".
 
Miller shot Jessica a flat look, green eyes narrowing as he regarded the impressive stream of bullshit coming from her mouth. He stood up and walked around his desk to close and lock the door of his office. "Jessica, you weren't hired because you're an idiot. You were hired because you're smart. You were a good worker: a credit to working professionals of this company. However, you could not stop yourself when you saw the flaw in the automated transaction system."

He sat back down at his desk, "I mean, I understand, I guess. Stealing is so much easier than working."
 
She looked down and sighed, she was trapped and there wasn’t anything she could do to get out of the trouble she was in. Taking a deep breath she looked up at him and shook her head, more to herself than anything. “Will you call the police? Or should am I fired?”. She looked down as she removed her id badge from her coat and gave it to him knowing full well that she would be fired for such a thing. She hated herself the moment she thought about stealing from the company, it was useless to even think that the company would just let this pass. Taking a deep breath she looked down as she waited for him to choose her destiny, either jail or out to the streets she did not saw any other way around it.

(sorry it took so long)
