In the morning, Richard sat somewhat uneasily in an office that still smelled of fresh paint.
The spotlessly clean bright windows didn't hide a single ray of sunlight, illuminating the entire room brightly.
A while ago, when Lynch and Michael's situation first emerged, the FBI and the Federal Tax Bureau almost immediately found Richard.
Richard, as one of Lynch's key "henchmen," was bound to hold an important position in the Lynch and Fox combination, but both the FBI and the Federal Tax Bureau were mistaken; he was just a pitiable fellow who couldn't even be considered part of the outer circle!
After a series of law enforcement operations by the two powerful agencies, he was released after paying a bail fee, and finally, Lynch proved himself innocent, though his bail fee remained unsettled.
If you thought Richard would abandon his collaboration with Lynch after this soul-stirring ordeal, then you'd be very wrong.
