He needed to get back to his hotel room before dawn because, due to the earlier gunfight, Jimmy's suit had become scuffed and dusty from rolling and dodging and would be too noticeably strange if seen by others during the day.
Upon returning to his room, Jimmy did not rush to open the briefcase to check its contents; instead, he changed his clothes, cleaned up the things on the bed that had been disguising him, and went to sleep. After he woke up, Jimmy finally opened Scott's briefcase, and looking inside, he frowned.
There were no other bags in Scott's car. Jimmy had assumed Scott would carry some important items with him, but the bag contained only some documents. At a glance, Jimmy saw they seemed to be corporate financial data.
Jimmy didn't know much about these documents. He had hired an accountant to handle his own company's affairs in Little Rock, and he usually didn't pay attention to them, just checking in over the phone with the accountant from time to time.
