1174 - WIDEN

ThE restaurant was noisy. Pete pined for the noisiness of home, rather than this place. But his boss, Greg, wanted to celebrate not being fined and had insisted the team gather here to be wined and dined. But Pete was smart and left his phone on audio-record during the evening, gleaning lots of information. On reviewing the recording the next day he found he'd mined enough of Greg's dodgy dealings to take it to Greg's bosses. Greg didn't get to savour his triumph for very long before he found himself leaving the company with no job. Pete thought this would widen his career prospects, but, although the bosses were grateful for Peter's help, they weren't keen on promoting a snitch either.
