See, after PMPED had won a big settlement worth nearly a million dollars a few months prior, Alec had neglected to pay out the other attorneys who'd worked on the case.

He'd gotten sloppy and had either forgotten or he just decided to not pay them.

Instead, he had kept the entire settlement check, about $700,000, all for himself.

PMPED, therefore, started looking into Alec's books, and the chief financial officer had been asking a lot of questions, much to Alec's annoyance.

He didn't think anyone was ever going to question him.

By June 7th, the CFO was planning to fully confront Alec about the missing check, but just as she was in his office, about to get into it with him...

Alex's phone rang.

So almost like if it was in a movie, you'd say it was too convenient.

You'd say this is fucking deus ex machina.

The call was from Alex's brother, who was delivering the bad news that their father, Randy III, was back in the hospital with pneumonia and was sure to die soon.

The CFO therefore dropped their line of questioning and pivoted to consoling Alec Murdoch about his father's impending death.

Alec, however, had just been handed a reason to call both Maggie and Paul back to Moselle that night.

He got a hold of both of them and said that they all needed to go see Big Randy before he died.

You gotta come on home.

It's fucking over.

Well, yeah.

I mean, when the CFO's asking questions, he ain't getting out of it.

Yeah.

When Alec got a hold of Paul, Paul said, fuck it, sure, yeah, I'll be there later.

And Maggie reluctantly agreed.
