The next two weeks happened in a kind of slow-motion I am still processing. Denny's lawyers, having received the recording and my list of documents, sent a second letter to our firm. The second letter did not ask for four hundred and eleven thousand dollars. It asked for the return of the full four hundred thousand, plus damages, plus legal fees, plus — the part that made our firm's attorney's face go white — a formal retraction of the internal narrative blaming the client. The second letter referenced specific emails. Specific Slack messages. Specific dates. Our attorney realized immediately that the client had inside information. He called a meeting. He asked who had talked to the client. Nobody admitted anything. He asked me directly. I said, "I met with Denny last Wednesday. I told him what happened on the project." The attorney said, "Are you serious?" I said, "Yes." He said, "You are going to be fired." I said, "Okay."
