A knock is heard.
Anna opens the door, " Yes ?"

But nobody is there.
Anna looks at the floor.

" Huh ?" Anna drops the paper.
Shocked.

The debt will grow two times per week.
Current debt : 32,000 dollars.

" One hour to go.."
Anna glances at Shane.

Shane is reading his book, ignoring Anna.
Anna looks at the clock pointing at eleven.

***

" Luna !" shouted Anna banging the door again and again.
" Quinn !"

She hears a honking sound.
Anna turns to see a black car.

Two men come down.
They press the doorbell.

The door is opened.
" Who are you ?" said Quinn without any expression.

" We have come to inform you that our boss wants to meet you."
Quinn smiles, " Oh, come in come in. Oh yeah, will you take care of our house in case someone annoying," said Quinn as she glanced at Anna, " disturbs our house ?"

They nod.
Quinn backs away.

They enter the house.
" Quinn.." said Anna.

The door is slammed hard.
' Now the money's all mine.' thought Quinn smirking.

***

Quinn and Luna went out.
Anna's tears are already dry.

The door creaks open.
Anna is shocked.

" M-Mr. Shane ?!"
" Come in."

Anna widens her eyes.
It took a while to make her realize what happened, but still she gives a big smile and walks inside.

The door closes.
A man in black behind the building widens his smile, revealing his gold tooth in the middle.

" We disguised as the men in black." said Ben, " I'm sorry, Anna."
" That's fine, dad." said Anna.

Shane finishes packing the money.
" We should get going before they realize we're imposters." said Shane.

Anna and Ben nod in unison.
