We stood in front of Mr. Svenson's house it was right before the sun rose. I started to walk up the stairs and i heard Arch behind me "Well, there's the chicken soup." i said as we walked up towards the door. Archie knocked on the door "Mr. Svenson?" but nobody answer putting my ear towards the door to listen. I didn't hear anyone. Archie knocked again. After no answer, we decided to meet up again and headed home for now. "Yes, hello. I'm calling to settle an account for one of your patients, Fred Andrews."  

"And who are you to him" the lady on the phone asked me. "I'm his business partner. I'd like to pay the bill in full and keep it anonymous, an angel donation." 

"Are you aware of the amount that is due?"

"Yes, I'm aware of the amount."

"Okay, and what is your name Miss?"

"My name? Marilyn Leeann Spellman-Valdez, and it's a Black card."

"Okay, and what's the number, Miss Valdez?"

"Number 2-9-5-9-3-2-5-0"

"Yes i see right here we have you on file"

"Okay so is everything paid for?"

"Just give me a moment" the lady said and i waited for a few minutes listening to her type away on her computer "and there you go, ma'am, everything is done"

"Thank you"

"No thank you, you have a nice day" i hummed and hung up the phone "Mel, I'm heading out to meet up with Betty" Mary said and i nodded as i feed the dogs and started putting up more decorations.

"Joseph Conway. Joseph Svenson, as you know him, was a troubled youth there was no saving him." said "Meaning he was a sinner?" Archie asked, "No, he was a child, a victim."

"Did he suffer from survivor's guilt?" I asked leaning back a little as i asked Sister Woodhouse looked over and i followed her eyes there was another one staring at us as she walked past. "I've already said too much."
