Max was stoked. She wasn’t entirely sure if the grin on her face was because the great Harvey Specter had decided to take her friend’s case or he had mentioned her to a colleague.
She jumped at the chance and used her day off to meet with Mike. It was nice talking to someone other than the vapid models she cleaned apartments for and the hippies that entered the diner.
“Dude! This place is sick! Even sicker than my dealer’s pad on the corner of 10th and 207th.”
“ Is Ralph your dealer? You know, tall stalky 30-something man with the Justin Bieber side swept bang and a soul patch” Mike asked immediately knowing that he’d get along with her.
“Yeah that’s him. He gave up the Bieber doo months ago, so I assume you’re done with coke. What can I do for you Michael?” She said spinning in her chair.
“I went through the Channing accounts including three hidden Swiss accounts and the money in it was only a tenth of the embezzled amount which leads me to the question: where is the money at? Before the scandal broke Channing had 75 key officials handling 10,586 accounts bigger than $5,000,000 and a team of 15 consultants including lawyers, accountants and other minders.” Mike said.
“It would take forever to go through that. Harvey doesn’t pay you enough” Max surmised.
“I know right? Going through all their books would be down right impossible.” Mike said animatedly raising his hand in the air as if he was part of a hold up.
“Now this is where you come in. Harvey mentioned that you and Caroline had sneaked into Channing Mansion once. So I need your help to sneak in again and look for clues.” Mike explained.
“Why not ask Caroline?” Max commented.
“From what Harvey told me she seems finicky and uptight. She would probably panic if she knew what we were up to. Not to mention that she would be easily recognizable given that she is the accused’s daughter and you’re you.”
“Geee Thanks! You may want to ditch the suit” She said pointing at Mike’s current get up.
