Just as Lynch was starting to renovate his new house, there were some developments in Michael's law enforcement case.
The first to step forward wasn't Lynch, nor Michael, least of all Director Johnson, but rather his good partner.
This partner had been working with Michael for twelve or thirteen years, and was also the deputy leader of Sabin City's Tax Bureau investigation team. In the eyes of many, he was always seen as Michael's good buddy, sharing everything with each other.
No one expected him to step forward first, confessing to the media some "details" that hadn't been previously known.
According to the partner's account, the conflict between Michael and Lynch stemmed from an accidental "collision" between the two.
"At that time, Michael and I were walking down the street, and Lin… Lynch was pushing a cart full of dirty clothes on the sidewalk. Michael pointed at Lynch and said to me, 'Hey, look at that kid, let's mess with him'."
