In My Desperate Time

Found them?

I stand up, I feel excitement rising in me.

The other two are bribed into this, so as long as we can offer the money, they will surely tell us the truth.

"Okay, tell me the address, I will be there in a second."

But, I don't know how much money they will ask me for, will they start with a huge amount?

I don't have that much, but I know someone else who does.

Usually, I don't sue his money, but this is not usually, there is nobody else I can ask. This is my own matter, I cannot ask Mindy to pay this money for me.

"Uhm, Frances, I need to go out for something, can you give me some money?"

I look at him embarrassed, and hesitate to ask.

"Where are you going?"

I thought he will ask me how much money I need, but I have not guessed this will be his first question.

His focus lays on something else than mine.
