     “They all laughed about that,     
until Tammy came back to make sure I   
was still ok, and stayed with me until 
Amy and the night-crew came in. I got  
most of my sleep while she was there.  
     “She left when Amy got there but  
came back just before Amy’s two        
assistants left at eleven, and they    
talked for a few minutes.              
     Tammy left again, and that's when 
we had our heart to heart, and then you
came through Criminal,” she said, and  
then looked around the room.           
     “All of you came through and saved
my life, and that brings up the money.”
     The look of surprise on everyone's
face told me that everyone had also    
forgotten all about the money, just    
like I had.                            
     “That's right, the money,” I said,
and added, “which also brings up, where
in hell are you getting this money? I  
know you've already explained it to me 
a couple times, but I'd like my friends
to hear it directly from you, just to  
make sure I explained it right.”       
     “I agree,” the Cat said, “but     
first, the most important part. If you 
all check your debit card accounts,    
you'll see that fifty thousand dollars 
has been added to each one. The        
original ten thousand is now a bonus.” 
     She then turned to look at me,    
“You both also get fifty thousand.”    
     Everyone pulled out their smart-  
phones and started tapping. Rhonda     
said, “Wow!” first and everyone else   
soon followed suit with their own      
expressions of surprise.               
     “Why aren't you checking          
Criminal?” the Cat asked me.           
     “I believe you, besides why would 
you give them the money and not us?    
Now, about the money. Where is all this
coming from?”                          
     The Cat ignored me at first while 
she explained to everyone else that,   
“There's another half million to anyone
who'll help me get my two friends out  
of where they're being held. I’m trying
to get you each a million, but right   
now, a half a million is as high as    
they’ll go.”                           
     A half a million was a lot of     
money and I could see everyone's eyes  
light up, even Darryl's. “The money,   
Cat?” I asked again.                   
     “They're the ones I'm getting the 
money from.”                           
     “But, where are they getting it   
from? Tell them.”                      
     “I have an idea, but I don't      
really fully understand it.”           
     “Come on, spill it.”
