One day, Bridges received a telephone call in which the caller, who was male, wanted to keep his identity hidden. The caller, however, claimed to have been a “long-term” supplier of books, sundries, and magazines to Bailey.

Linda Collins could be engaged in fraud, as the caller claimed, or the caller could be someone who has a personal vendetta against Collins and wants to get her fired. That is, Bridges does not have enough information to know if the caller was “squeezed out” of doing business with Bailey or why this might have been the case.
