By Erina Bridget Ring:
Breakfast with the FBI is a true story about what happened to me when I worked at a bank. They sent me to the branch across town.
I went to balance the vault. It was $60,000 short, and the ATM was $40,000 short. The manager told me to sign off on the loss…would you?
My story began at that moment. I finished the day and did not sign off on the loss. I went to the main branch to tell the bank president. It was in that meeting I found out he was involved and I left his office shaking and drove straight to the police department, as I was afraid for my life.
At the police department, I was instructed to not tell anyone, to go home and wait for a call from the FBI as they would call me that evening. I was on pins and needles. When I got the call, I was instructed to meet them at 6 a.m. the next day at the local bakery. I was a wreck. I could not eat a thing or drink my coffee.
The FBI instructed me to not tell a soul not even my husband. I told them I was not their person, and they told me I was already involved. It was the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through personally and the most heroic. I found out what I was made of for sure.
