Nurse Song was arrested and charged with Child Abuse and Neglect. She was sentenced to twenty years in prison. As for Mr. Gordon, he was disbarred and eventually went bankrupt. His schemes and fraudulent behavoir had several of his past clients go after him both in court, as well as from underworld bosses. He disappeared one day, and hasn't been seen or heard from since. The rumors on the street were that an underworld assasin got him. Lois was doing a booming business with her new shop. 'Second Chance' was a hit in Jelang. Because of the economic situtation there, her store offered quality goods at very reasonable prices. No one minded that the clothes were second hand. After the seamtress that Lois had found was finished with a dress or other garment, one couldn't tell that it had been used. Some of the customers even bought back items that they had sold at jumble sales, but did not know it because of their transformation. Lois herself was like a different person. Her a

The flight was to take roughly fouteen hours from Fing City to San Fransico. In addition, the time changes would factor into it as well. Even though they left at eight o'clock in the morning, they would not arrive in the US until the next day local time. At first, everyone on the flight was busy chatting with everyone else. Except the security detail in the back section. They perfered their own company to keep a detached distance from everyone else on board. General Han was the only exception to this. He would leave his seat periodically to go and check on them. He was like a mother hen when it came to his men. He had personally trained this group himself, and was extremely proud of each and every one of them. Rick and Debbie talked to Old Wilson about what to except at each stop. Rick especially wanted to make a good impression on these people, not only as their ultimate boss, but as an asute businessman. "I realise that there may be a language barrior between some of the peop

Mr. Curtis explained the whole scheme to Rick and Old Wilson. "I was first approached by Mr. Wang when he came to San Fransico a few months ago. He and I had attended university together and had always gotten along. We kept in touch after he returned to Tangu, and I gladly agreed to the meeting. He said he had come to the US to try and acquire the RBG Shipping Company. He said that he had heard that it would be for sale soon, and wanted to be the first in line. After talking a while, he made a suggestion that would benefit me personally. If I would cooperate with him, then he would pay me $25 million after he was in control of the company. He sounded reasonable, so I agreed. For my part, I had to make it look like the company was losing money, and devalue it's net worth. I was unsure how to do this, but then Mr. Wang gave me a few ideas. One was to embezzle profits and submit fake bills to the company. The money was then transferred to several accounts of people who helped me pull this

The next day, General Han and Old Wilson went back to the Presidio to have a look at the military museum. Rick and Debbie went sight seeing and shopping. Helen Sue had an old college friend living in town, and went to meet up with her for the day. That left Matthew and Brandon to head out on thier own to see what San Fransico was all about. They both had always wanted to visit this city, and to do it together was going to be fun for them both. Over the last few days, the two had become really close. They had found a mutual attraction to each other, and things just took its natural course. Having so many shared interests and goals in life, they just made a good match. Everyone met back at the hotel once again in time for dinner. Being their last night in town, Rick wanted to give them all a special treat. He had asked Matthew to recommend the best five star restaurant in town. He did not disappoint. The meal was a complete seven course affair that had them all in raptures over t

The remote audit was completed in record time. The auditors did not bother with spreadsheets and the like, but instead concentrated on the actual programs used. They had copies of the original programs, and a simple comparison of the two showed the anomalies clearly. Working from there, an audit of the bank statements showed the transactions in question, and who made them. In addition, the bank confirmed the amounts that had been transfered to Mr. Jones personal accounts. From there the bank itself audited Mr. Jones accounts that showed the funds transfered to Mr. Brown's accounts. It was a straight forward case of embezzlement and fraud. Mr. Jones and Mr. Brown were not even trying to hide what they had done, because it was too easy to trace their actions. The paper trail lead right to their doors. The fax machine in the computer room spit out several documents at that time. Mr. Brown quickly stood up to go retrieve the pages, but with just a look from the general, he immediate
