Dave turned his head, his eyes narrowing as he carefully sized up the new arrival. It was one of his trusted employees, a woman who had been working in his Dad's company for years.

"What is it, Maria?" Dave asked, his voice tight with frustration.

Maria held up a file folder, her face serious. Dave could tell from the way the other man held himself that this was not going to be good news.

"He needs to be stopped," Dave said harshly. "I want him arrested. This cannot continue."

Maria nodded. "I understand the boss, and I agree that something needs to be done. We'll get on it right away."

Dave breathed a deep sigh of relief as Maria left the room.
