As soon as it was morning, I gave Sherburne a call and then went to see my father and let him know what George had found. The $500 million that had suddenly done a runner was evidenced by the purchase of Mosha Gilmore's land. The name on the money was different from the one we thought was the conglomerate, but the amount and timing were spot on.
But obviously, we didn't just use that as evidence. If that's all there is to it, you'll never be able to stand up to those greedy people.
Beforehand, I contacted Louis Baxter first that night.
"I've been investigating that..." He said on the other end of the line, his voice sounded a bit hoarse and heavy, the long buzz before he picked up the phone proved that he was asleep.
"Did you look into it?" I asked.
