Frank gave him in his briefcase. George was walking the streets of the city when it started to

rain heavily. He ducked into the very first open door he could find which happened to be a
fitness center and called Frank to come pick him up. Frank agreed and told George he would
be there shortly. George walked around for a while, checking out the exercise equipment
and the locker rooms and then he noticed a closed door at the end of the hall.
George opened the door and went up the stairs. It led to an apartment above the gym. It was
still raining and George was hungry so he went into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.
He made himself a peanut butter sandwich, opened a can of soda, and sat down to read the
newspaper. George cut out some coupons from the newspaper and placed them in his
pocket. Finally, it stopped raining and Frank texted George that he was waiting outside. Just
as George was about to leave, the Fed Ex man came through the door. Panicked, George
threw his briefcase at him without even looking, ran out the door and jumps in Frank's car.
Frank asks why George was running since it was no longer raining. George told Frank that
he ran into the Federal Express driver and he may have hurt him.
The briefcase hit the Federal Express driver in the head and knocked him to the floor.
George had not known that he had been in the Fed Ex man's apartment. The man died of his
injuries.
