Finder’s Fee
Things moved quickly when the police officers showed up. Soon after it was settled, Joe got a call from a lawyer the original owner had hired. This man said he had to return the money from the safes, but the owner was willing to pay him $600,000 as a finder’s fee.
Threats
Joe liked the idea of getting some money for all the trouble he’d gone through. However, these were idle threats from the lawyer, and he didn’t want to be suckered into it. He had to think about his next move, which would be dealing with the original owner of that safe.
