“Did you go to class today?”      
     “Yup, that's why I was at the     
library, libraries actually. The       
University Medical Library, and then   
the Law Library,” she told me while    
putting her coat away.                 
     “After class, the professor gave  
me three references to look up. One of 
them was really sad, and I had to go   
chase it down in an old case law       
journal. That’s why I also had to go to
the Law Library, but first, I gotta    
know what happened today.”             
     I handed her both our cards,      
“There's another twenty thousand, and  
it's all yours.”                       
     She dropped them like they were on
fire, just like I’d done that first    
time, and as she slowly picked them up,
she gave me an anxious look, “Where in 
* hell is a Cat getting all this money?”   
     “First, check them out, and while 
you’re doing that, I'll try and explain
what I know about her buddies, and how 
they got the money. She explained it a 
little better today.”                  
     She got on the computer while I   
did that and saw it was real. There    
really was ten thousand dollars on each
card.                                  
     “That does sound like a plot from 
that Superman movie,” she said and     
handed one of the cards back to me,    
“and thank you for giving me your card,
but it wouldn’t be fair if you only got
five hundred dollars out of all this.” 
     I tried to argue with her, but her
mind was already made up.
