Transcript
Ben stands at the Solis Corp. reception desk, where a receptionist sits behind a computer. Ben says, “Ben Lorentz, I have a pickup.” The receptionist replies, “One moment, sir.” She places a black parcel and a Solis envelope on the counter. The parcel’s label reads, “DELIVER TO EDITH / 316 AUREA COMMONS / RECIPIENT TO MEET / COURIER OUTSIDE.” Ben asks, “Meet outside? Did they leave any other info?” The receptionist replies, “No, but they left a sizeable gratuity.” Ben opens the envelope, which contains cash.
