The Birdy Baskerville Matter

Ron Hollywood, it's time to opt for Edmund LaBion as... Johnny Donald, Philip Martin, Johnny, I've got a job for you. Fine, what is it? Mr. Carl Baskerville has insured with us. I've heard the name. Retired, wealthy.

That's the best way. His brother is the beneficiary. Baskerville called us a little while ago and said he wanted the money to go to a charity in case of his death. What made him change his mind?

He thinks his brother is out to kill him. That's Johnny. What do you want me to do? He's insured for a half a million, Johnny. You just made me a bodyguard. At least until we found out how true basketball story is.

We did some checking six years ago. He sent his brother William to prison for absconding with company funds. William was released from state prison a week ago. Ah, that's where I've heard the name. I remember the case.

Oh, it's a strange setup. Send his brother to jail. Name's him as beneficiary. Wants it changed because he says his brother's going to kill him. Gain and able really started something, didn't they? Edmund O'Brien and the Transcribe Adventure of the Man with the Action Pact Expensicon.
