Dayo had spent most of the morning reviewing the final stages of the ML Label acquisition when a new report arrived at his office. The takeover was nearly complete, and most of the major decisions had already been settled. His team was handling the remaining paperwork, reviewing outstanding agreements, and preparing the next phase of the transition under JD Records. The work required his attention, but it no longer carried the same uncertainty as it had when the acquisition first began.
He was checking a financial summary when his private notification appeared on the screen. The message came through the monitoring network that had been keeping track of Michael Erickson and Silas Vane since their transfer to the VIP prison. Dayo opened the report expecting another update about their conditions or their remaining contacts, but the first few lines made him stop reading the figures in front of him.
