Offer to the CEO

Monday, continued …

Snake before anyone could say anything further spoke "The interesting thing I found out when looking at the buildings was that they have been owned by Lu Corporation for over thirty years.We all know the rumours from when we were younger of brothels operating in the area, and it is possible that these are those brothels.Nothing is solid, but what we know seems to support that as being the conclusion."

"You would remember Bug, when the triplets were about three or four that there was often elites here looking for prostitutes.None of us could find out where they went as at the time the rumours were they shifted.Maybe that is not the case, they have always been in the same location."

Croc interrupted "King, we need to go to the police.The police, given our past have a history with some of us, but as we all know Snake has been known as a police informant for over eighteen years.You know he even turned me, Lizard, Tiger and Lion into the police when it was necessary to protect our operations and the business.They all think we do not know, but …"

"I know we all made a joint decision."

"We can use me" spoke Lion "I can go with Snake and tell the police that I heard rumours of a pedophile ring using part of the neighbourhood for their trade.I can tell then Snake and I discussed what we could do and we decided that we would investigate what we heard before coming to the police."

"How we can explain not coming to the police before now is that it only became clear after a meeting with you today bug, that we were able to connect the information we had.We then gathered what we had before going to the police.Importantly there is no lie in that statement."

"How will you explain the girls you spoke to?" came Anna."Hang on, I know that one.I was in the meeting with all of you, again not a lie, and we connected two of the girls you spoke to the girls Amanda is at the police station with."

"Bug, the Queen is involved as well.You …"

"Well you never asked what my wife was doing, so why should I volunteer that fact to you twits.Why in the world would I be having lunch with a friend on my birthday rather than my wife …"

"Because she works for the toff, and could not get the time off."

"Are you that idiotic that you do not realise that he would have given her the time off today, Lion?"

"True, the toff does value your friendship so he would have given her the time off.It would therefore have had to be important for him not to have given her the time off."

"Come on you are getting distracted.As I was saying you connected the dots, and given at least one of the girls had come forward, you made the decision that the investigation team did not need to remain silent, about any of the stories."

There was silence in the room for about a minute before Tiger spoke "Actually that will work.No lies, no manipulation, the truth, and we can sell that.Most importantly despite where we have all gotten, the police know we have a soft spot for the neighbourhood, particularly given our original corporate headquarters was located here, and would act to protect it.The only thing, is why did we have a meeting?"

"That one is easy Tiger, we can talk about it for two reasons.We saw the press conference, and while not wanting to get involved in the joint venture, suspected that you would be looking for sites in the country for the development of film infrastructure.We could say that we wanted to talk about that, and that we had planned to meet Bug for his birthday.While not publicly broadcast it is known when the triplets were young, Bug lived here, so the police will know that our paths have crossed time and time again."

Before King could say anything, Lion turned to Snake "Come on, we need to get moving to the police station.You better grab that evidence and get whoever of the team that you can get here immediately to meet us there, in business attire, not their usual trash."

Snake turned to King "And remember you need to arrange for that present for our princess and her prince, with, lets be realistic we need to call her the empress here."

Snake and Lion walked out of the room, and Anna turned and looked at King before asking "What in the world is he talking about?"
