Late Afternoon: Merritt & Digger - Phone call
"I'll make sure to deposit your donation in your account within the hour. This one's personal." Merritt knew it would take time to requisition the funds from their holding account and he knew it was a risk to pay from his own pocket, but this was his imaginary... not-so imaginary friend. Besides, he'd been looking for a worthy cause to donate to that year and the false non-profit The Wire had help set up that funneled the deposits directly into the cops account was as good of a cause as any.
Merritt tapped a few commands on his tablet, it wasn't a hard decision to make. There was one name he could never give Digger but if he could clean up his mess by correcting his win... "You should have a file. Someone you might be interested in doing business with. Though I'll warn you... he's got a lot of friends so it might be hard to get an appointment with him." Aka, he's rich, protected, connected and has lots of bodyguards.
