The next day, Mr. Lorry complains that he hasn't been able to catch up with his work. He's been working late and missed jury duty the night before. He asks Lorry to help him out with a claim he's working on, since Jake isn't feeling well. He tells Lorry that Jake's office smells "like a brewery" and that he'll have to take care of the claim himself. He also notes that there are no permits or meters in the office, which makes Lorry wonder if there might be some sort of "mix up" with the claim. He suggests that there's some kind of "black market" for the claim, and Lorry suggests that he check it out before he leaves. He says that he has been doing the same thing for a long time, and that if something fishy is going on, he will find it. He warns Lorry not to worry, but Lorry agrees to help. He gives Lorry the expense report from the day before, which Lorry accidentally gave to him with a bunch of stuff from his fiancee, tamara. He wonders what's going on with Jake, who's "hiding something" in the middle of his work day. He doesn't know why they're there, Lorry says, but he does know that it's stressful. He wants to go for a vacation, but can't find a place to go.
