Reed City is a small place, but I suppose the fact that it’s small means that there’s more negligence with the law there. They’ve had a very smooth sailing history of doing business, so I got careless.”

Wendy spoke gently, “There are no predicting accidents. I don’t ask for much, I don’t even need all these riches. All I want is for you and Dad to be alive and well. That’s enough for me.”
