The night passes, and mom and dad are placing all their groceries to the kitchen.

Mom goes to Sam's room, and finds another chair with a plastic bag on it.

-Sam. Why there's another chair in your room? And what's with the plastic bag?-

-Oh uhm... it was... dusty...- He looks nervous

-Dusty?-

-Yeah-

-Hmmm...-

Sam looks extremely nervous because he forgot to take it off and wipe the controllers with the disinfectant wipes.

-Alright, honey. You better keep your room clean, ok?-

-Okay, mom. Phew- He's relieved.



Hours later, dinner is almost ready.

Anna sneaks into the fridge and grabs one package of meat for Michael. She tries to hide it under her sweater.

-Dinner's almost ready!- Mom said to Anna and Sam.

-That's good. Be right back. I'll go brush my teeth- Anna said, and runs up the stairs.

Mom and dad are acting pretty suspicious because of her behavior. Either way, they continue to prepare dinner.

Anna enters the attic door, and walks quietly into the room. She sees Michael sitting beside the window, reading a magazine.

-Hey, Mike. I brought you some dinner- She said while holding the meat package

-That's so sweet of you. Thank you- He smiled

-I see that you're enjoying the magazine-

-I'm just bored. This magazine looks pretty weird to me. I don't understand these new celebrities doing unnecessary things on the internet. And who's Jeff Bezos by the way?-

-Oh, he's the founder of Amazon, the online shopping store-

-I see. I read that he went to space several times. Why would he spend his money on that?-

-That's because, you know... rich people these days don't care about other people. They use their wealth on stupid things while poor people can't afford for food, house or health insurance-

-That's cruel! I've never spent my money on those kinds of things. I always shared my wealth with people in need, especially for sick children-

-You've done the right thing. Sadly people don't see the good in you-

-Thanks, Anna. I think you should go downstairs and spend some time with your parents-

-No problem, Mike. I'll check on you later, okay?-

-Okay. Enjoy your dinner-

-Thanks. You too-



She slightly closes the door, and runs downstairs. Michael sits beside the window, and starts enjoying his piece of raw steak.
