Boss: Would you like to hear it? Youll like it, I promise!
Tim: Im listening...
Boss: Look Tim, my little plan could get us both out of quite a tight spot. Its quite simple really, you just say that you noticed the watch boxes had been tampered with when you accepted the delivery from the suppliers. Thatll take the heat off us and move the investigation onto them.
Tim: Yeah, but the police wont just take my word for it, will they?
Boss: Thats true Tim, they probably wont, but Im going to arrange for them to find some more evidence to link the fake watches fimp3ly to the supplier and not us. I wont go into details, but itll work, trust me.
Tim: So somebody else will end up being charged with a crime they didnt commit.
Boss: Well if it isnt somebody else Tim, itll probably be you.
Tim: Can I just say something here?
Boss: Yes Tim, what is it?
