Episode 93: An old friend calls
Tim: Hello?
Janet: It's Janet Hall here.
Tim: Janet! How did you get my number?
Janet: Oh, a bit of detective work and a chat with a lovely gal in the Human Resources department.
Tim: Well, I'm glad you called. I've got so much to thank you for. I was branded a cheat, a liar and a thief, but because of you I'm beginning to clear my name.
Janet: It was nothing, honestly. The truth will out, as they say. But all's not quite well with you yet. I hear you got the boot.
Tim: No, I quit. It was a matter of principle. But you're right - quit, fired - it comes to the same thing. No job, no money, no prospects.
Janet: And you think I'd stand for that?
