CASE FILE 03:
THE CHECK

An original Dedrick Kane case. Not in the book.

Do Not Deposit · Verify First

FIELD BRIEF — 11:30 AM

Elena Ruiz just landed a "mystery shopper" gig. The welcome packet includes a $3,900 cashier's check and her first assignment:

Deposit the check. Keep $800 as her commission. Wire $3,100 to the company's "vendor" to evaluate a money-transfer service.

Her coordinator, Rachel Kim, says to deposit it today — "funds are available tomorrow." Elena is at the bank's mobile app, thumb over the button.

You have until she taps deposit to stop her — or prove there's nothing to stop.

Open the evidence locker. Question the suspects. Then make the call.
