“Call me Dan, please,” he said.

“Very well. As you know, Dan, I was hired to investigate and find the source of some inventory problems in your Tampa branch.”

“Did you find them?”

“Yes, Sir. I know what’s happening to your inventory, and I’ve discovered a much larger problem as well.”

“You have my undivided attention.”

“Your service manager is selling tires on the side,” I said. “As you know, he has a dedicated area in your warehouse that he can access at night, but what you don’t know is that once or twice a week, he manages to slip a couple of extra tires into that area. Then when he comes to the warehouse in the middle of the night to remove a tire from inventory legitimately to hand it over to a service truck driver, he waits until the driver is out of sight and loads a tire or two onto his own truck. I managed to photograph him doing this on two occasions and darn near got arrested in the process.”

“Arrested?” Morgan said.
