[It's more than enough time, and Jon steps in when Ava holds the door open.]
I'm here to make a donation. [Jon's eyes are fixed on the man who blinks in surprise as they approach.
"Oh! Um... well, the finance department is closed this late, but if you come back-"]
Not a financial contribution. Something else.
["Something... else?" His smile is about as fake as it's possible to be. "You'll need to be specific."]
A few excess pounds. What would you be able to tell me about that, Davis?
[There's a soft hiss from the tape recorder.
"Not... much? I mean, I don't work downstairs. I just know that people donate their bodies for tax write-offs and to pay debts. You'd need to head to the basement." He pauses, an expression of confusion crossing his face. "W-wait. Why did I...?"]
Come on, Ava. That's all we needed, Davis. Thank you. Why don't you get a coffee? It's late isn't it? You must need a little pick-me-up by now.
[Davis opens his mouth, then closes it a few times, backing away from the desk and nodding mutely before walking off.]
