Henry's POV
***
I can't believe there is a stupid flood! Now I'm never going to get those emeralds! I was going to break them up and sell them all but save one to have put into a ring or a necklace and give it to my  wife.

I know that she hates my criminal ways and that I put them away 15 years ago when we were married, but we're about to lose the house and I don't want her to worry, especially since she's pregnant.

That's why I didn't tell her about the bills we couldn't pay. I'll just sell the emeralds, and I won't get caught. I have a lot of practice in this department so I'll be fine, and then I'll pay the bills and it'll all be fine.

The as soon a I start my new job we'll all be fine and we'll have the baby and life will be great. Then I'll never have to associate with anything that has to do with the black market ever again.

I turn over to face her but then find that I can't move. Oh, right. The three of us are all shoved into the small, tiny attic, me my pregnant wife, and our 6 year old daughter, to escape the slowly rising flood waters.

This can't be good for my wife's or the baby's health. As soon as the flood goes down, I'm going to go right out there and get it. Then we'll all be fine...
