Later that day, call from Bill Allen to Bob Persons. Allen explains that Stevens had been sent a bill for the plumbing and it said Allen paid for the labor. Persons is alarmed and Allen’s not pleased. “I didn’t want everybody to know,” says Allen. “We don’t need this thing floating around,” says Persons. “No!” says Allen. "We need to get the guy at Chugach Sewer & Drain to make that disappear from his records," Persons says. Then they work out a plan to get Stevens to write Allen a check for the exact amount but not cash it. “And then if it ever did come up," Persons says, "you can say, 'I didn't deposit that? Hell, I know I did. I don't know where it went.' "
