“There’s a hundred thousand dollars in here. Taken”
I smiled to myself, if Helen hadn’t come clean, she might’ve fooled me with this
I handed the card back to Karen.
Karen, you have no idea how expensive hospital bills are. This won’t be enough. You should just keep it”
I pushed the card back and turned to leave
Karen, panicking at the thought of no one left to take care of her grabbed my arm.

The truck driver belonged to a union that helped collect debt for drivers.
Just as Karen was recovering from the beating, another crew of burly men arrived, demanding payment
