Bank-cor-Rupt

"Andrew Denbury, I will give you until ten o'clock tomorrow morning to come back to me with a set of proposals which will promptly release the bank from its liability to you. You can telephone the local manager with your proposals early tomorrow morning. Otherwise we shall appoint a receiver."

Smithson looked as though he was about to explode. "I will not have a young whippersnapper like you come into my own house and insult me. Here." He hurled the papers down the table. "You can get out. Let me make it clear to you that I will never do anything more to help you. You´re in the receiver´s hands now."

"Your bank bounced your cheque the day before the receiver was appointed. Your signature was on that cheque, Andrew, so I'm afraid your name stinks with my boss. He doesn't believe you signed the cheque in good faith. In fact he's talking about going to court to establish your personal liability. I'm afraid you wouldn't get a job with us at the moment as an unpaid lavatory cleaner."

"Not only will I make you bankrupt. This is going to cost you a lot more than just the settlement with me. I will fight this right through the courts. I have the funds to do that, so I'm bound to win in the end. Even you don't dispute that you owe me money. However the legal battle will cost you a great deal. For me, the cost doesn't matter."

What will Andrew do to resist the overwhelming forces massed against him? How will he be able to fight back? Will he have any chance of succeeding? Will Samantha be able to help him?
