“The Report That Changed Everything: Anthony’s Unexpected Discovery”.😱
[Setting: Late evening in an almost-empty office. Anthony is staring wide-eyed at his computer screen. Papers are scattered everywhere. Jessica walks in with a coffee mug.]
Jessica:
Hey, still here? It's almost 9. You planning to sleep at your desk tonight?
Anthony: (quietly)
Jess... you need to come look at this. Now.
Jessica: (raises an eyebrow, walking over)
Okay... what's with the dramatic tone? Did you find another bug in the data?
Anthony:
No. This isn’t a bug. This is... this is big. Like, whistleblower-big.
Jessica: (sets down her mug and peers over his shoulder)
What are we looking at?
Anthony:
I was running QA checks on the Q3 financial report, the one from the operations division. Everything seemed fine—until I matched some transaction IDs with the internal audit logs.
Jessica:
And?
Anthony: (takes a deep breath)
There are millions—literally millions—being siphoned through a dummy vendor account. It’s been happening for over a year. The paper trail is buried under layers of legitimate transactions, but it's there.
Jessica: (stares at the screen)
Wait... are you saying someone inside the company is embezzling money?
Anthony:
Not just someone. I traced the authorization codes. They’re tied to Malcolm’s access credentials.
Jessica: (steps back, stunned)
Malcolm? As in Malcolm Graves? The CFO?
Anthony:
Yeah. Either he's doing it directly... or someone has access to his internal permissions.
Jessica: (processing)
Jesus, Anthony. This—this could bring the entire company down. Do you have any idea what you're sitting on?
Anthony:
That’s why I haven’t reported it yet. I needed a second set of eyes. I wasn’t even supposed to be looking at this section. I got the wrong access directory by accident when the file paths were mislabeled.
Jessica:
You’re telling me... this is a mistake? You weren’t even assigned this?
Anthony:
Exactly. That’s what makes this even crazier. If I hadn’t opened the wrong file... I would’ve never found it.
Jessica: (paces nervously)
Okay, okay. We need to think this through. First: are you sure the data isn’t forged? Could it be planted?
Anthony:
No way. I triple-checked the logs. Timestamps, transaction hashes, account signatures—it all lines up. Whoever did this was careful, but not perfect. They left a pattern.
Jessica:
Anthony, this isn’t just fraud. If it really leads to Malcolm... this could turn criminal. FBI-level criminal.
Anthony:
I know. That’s why I can’t go to HR. They report directly to Malcolm. If he catches wind of this before it’s secured…
Jessica:
We’re screwed. Or worse.
Anthony: (nods slowly)
I need to make a copy of everything. Secure backups, external verification. If this leaks, or if I go missing...
Jessica:
Don’t say that.
Anthony:
I’m not being dramatic. You’ve seen the kind of pressure and politics in this company. Malcolm has friends in high places.
Jessica: (clenches fists)
We’re not letting this get buried. But we can’t go rogue either. There has to be a safe channel. An independent auditor? A journalist?
Anthony:
Already ahead of you. I know a guy—used to work cybersecurity with me before switching to forensic accounting. If I can get this to him safely…
Jessica:
I’ll help. But we have to be smart. No emails. No cloud storage. This has to go old-school.
Anthony:
Agreed. I’ll put everything on an encrypted flash drive. You take the drive home tonight. If anything happens to me, you send it to the contact I give you.
Jessica: (eyes widen)
Anthony, stop. You’re scaring me.
Anthony:
You should be scared. Because this report? It’s going to change everything. For me. For the company. Maybe for a lot more than that.
Jessica:
Then we need to be ready. And careful. No mistakes.
Anthony: (looks at her, grateful)
Thanks, Jess. I don’t know who else I can trust right now.
Jessica:
You’ve got me. All the way.
