More Money
Hundred-dollar bills were held in the third envelope. Many of them. Just looking from inside the envelope back at her. She threw all of them onto the bed, eliciting her husband’s gasp. Something nagged at the back of her mind… And then she remembered the previous robbery at the store. The stolen loot has never been found by the authorities. Could it be that the thief’s hidden stash had just been managed to stumble upon?
There’s More to It
They placed the money in neat piles on the bed after having to count everything, a swathe of blue bills that linked the pattern on the quilt. In total, $11 000. There was really no denying about what to do next in Laural’s mind: report their discovery to the local police. Her husband had, for the meantime, stuck his own hand into space and started digging a little farther around. Lo and behold, another bundle happened to come out.
