Author notes/hey guys I'm back and bringing you a new story, Paw Patrol: Into Thin Air let's get right into it!
The night had casted a dark shadow over Adventure Bay and the paw patrol had been disbanded over three years ago, Marshall looked out over the balcony at Adventure Bay as he sighed heavily and looked up longlingy into the night sky. Just then his phone rang. As he reached into his pocket to answer his phone the caller number came ID UNKNOWN. We Marshall answered the phone the voice rang thru.
"Do you like puzzles,Marshall? Living robotics. Write it down. And one more thing, keep your head low."
Marshall answered "thanks whats my codename this time?"
"Dreamboat"
"Great maybe something a little more manly?"
As Marshall got up he went down the elevator packing in a Barrett 50 cal and handguns, he hopped into his car a 1987 Chevy El Camino and drove off.
later at the living robotics building...
A Cockapoo entered thru a double door to the living robotics reception desk. As she walked thru the room she placed down a stack of papers.
"Hey Chase can you get these records filed for me by tonight I need to get the quarter reports in."
As Chase looked at Skye he sighed heavily.
"Fine but your going to have to take the quarter report up with the affairs account. He should be arriving shortly."
As Skye is leaving the office, an El Camino rolls into the lot and a Dalmatian steps out of the car.
As Marshall walks up the lot he pushes in the double doors to Living Robotics he meets with the CFO, Chainz and the CEO's niece Kat, who is a high-ranking executive in the company.
"Very well, Marshal?l I take it? My name is Chainz. I hope, with your strong background in accounting, you might be able to help us with this uh... shall we say problem we have."
As the three walked past the reception desk and down the hallway, they entered a room with 12 years of the buisness's record keeping.
I'ill leave you to settle in and by the way, Kat if you will please fill our, accountant in on the current situation."
As Chainz left the office he went back to his office and talked to Skye.
"I don't like this new guy he seems too good at what he does."
Skye questioned Chainz, she had no idea what he was talking about.
"What do you mean, you've just met him?"
"Ive seen this before some people who he ends up working for say the Gambino family are dangerous people. Say you're the head of the Sinaloa Cartel ok? Now, the cartels count their money by weighing it in 18-wheelers. But one sunny Mexican day, your in-house money scrubber comes to you and says you're 30 million light. Who can you trust to do the forensic accounting, track your stolen cash? Deloitte and Touche? H&R Block? You somehow contact an individual capable of coming in cold, un-cooking years of books, and getting out alive. I retire in seven months. Before I do, I need to know who he is, how he does it. I mean, who survives this kind of work? This kind of clientele? The secrets this guy has he pulls in 500 grand a year? I mean, that's a living. Because if you go down this road, this road... You can't go back, you understand? It's dangerous. You find one person you can trust, just one. And do not make any mistakes. You keep moving your ass around. They gave me a new acount today uh Marshall. I don't like this guy. He's dull I don't trust him. I want to know his entire background"
Back to Kat and Marshall...
Kat began to open boxes with paperwork and book keeping. As she spread it out all over the table the numbers were all there every single piece of paper.
"All right here is 2001 all the way to 2013, I was just going to tell you that, we thank you for being here, and um... there are some hard candies if you would like in the middle of the table, and markers on the desk."
Marshall took a look at the boxes and went thru each of them. As he was looking, Kat was on her way out. As Marshall got to work he worked through the night one marker to the trash bin, then two, three, next five, Before anyone knew he was able to deduce that $61 million is missing from the company. As kat walked in to the room the next morning, he starts to explain it to her, As she sipped on her coffee, she begins to catches on quickly. The CEO's sister Skye interrupts them as she dismissed Kat. Skye walks up to Marshall,
"So who's responsible for the missing money?"
Marshall looked to the floor, as he turned to the white board it had all sorts of numbers and math written on it.
" I can't guess. I need to keep reviewing the documents to figure it out.
Skye's look dimmed as she didn't get an answer. She wrote down a few equations on her clipboard and began to walk out.
"Well I expect a full report from you shortly."
The next day Marshall returned to Living Robotics to find Kat asleep in the conference room with boxes of files and folders neatly prepared for him. He went to grab the boxes just as Kat woke up.
"Ahh oh I uh umm goodmorning I uh prepared the um...paper documents that were left it seems that whats left is very little. 10 years, you got thru ten years! Wow I could only get thru about four or so, and you got thru 10. Incredible."Living Robotics, 10 years ago."
As Marshall Explained everything he had done, Kat listened.
"Ive figured it out look here so earnings before interest, tax, depreciation. $14,495,719. Nine years ago, earnings before tax and depreciation...were 62,944,443 Revenues go up, profits go down. No large capital expenditures dragging profits down. No spike in raw materials or labor costs. Year eight, profits and revenue both go up, but not in a commensurate fashion. You're making money. But there's a leak. The best part is, they're routing money to a company that doesn't exist. And yet, profits go up. And they continue going up it absolutely makes no sense at all. Where's the money coming from? ill tell you its not inventory, Inventory turns. No. Chargebacks to vendors, No. Perfectly in order along with Internal offsets."
As Marshall showed Kat the missing money from the documents, Chainz is talking to Skye in the other room.
"He needs to go!"
Skye became confused at this.
" Chainz, what is he getting close to? I...I need to know?"
A/N: Well a thrill to the start of a great story I hope you enjoy it and as always I will see all of you in the next chapter!
