"I don't like that Thanksgiving. Mommy, where is daddy at ? " Rosetta asked pouting.
"He should be here in a few." Tina answered checking her watch. She couldn't believe it. He only left yesterday night, but his absence was already a huge weight on everybody shoulders. Their family was not the same anymore. Tina and Richard told the kids that he had to go somewhere for work and they believed it. Except RJ. He knew something was up, but got no explanation just yet.
"What do you mean in a few ? We're starving, mom." Su said rubbing her hungry stomach, "I'm gonna faint."
"Mommy, I want food." Will whined about to cry. The two years didn't care who was at the table or not at this moment, he wanted to feed his body and now.
Tina looked at her watch once again and sighed, "You can eat some bread and I'm going to call your dad." She informed them standing up. She pulled her phone out and went in the kitchen where she dialed his number and then put the phone to her left ear.
"I can't talk to you right now, so leave me a voice mail and I will call you back as soon as possible. If it's really important, try to send me a message, it's easier to be in contact with me through that. Have a nice day ! "
She groaned and hung up, "I can't believe this ! "

"Douglas, are you really serious right now ?! "
"Rich, I really need your help. I'm in the shit. If I don't find that money before the 10th of December, I'm dead." That's it ! Douglas had officially messed up with these bets and now he was in trouble with the bookmaker, Mr.Lazar.
Richard was about to leave the hotel he was staying in, when Douglas appeared suddenly in front of his door begging for his help. He had warned him about this and he didn't want to listen and now he was about to lose his life. He was looking for it.
Richard shrugged, "And what do you want me to do about it ? "
"Help me ! "
"How ? " He asked even if he knew damn well that he wasn't going to help. He had enough problems with his family. Plus, he was late because of his stupid friend.
"Give me the money."
"What ?! " Rich looked at him like he was crazy, "My money ? Why do you need my money for ? You have your own ! You're not broke Doug, so why are you asking me for money ? " He questioned getting angry.
"If I take the money from our count, Fae is gonna see it and she'll be suspicious and she'll know about this. And I don't want her to find out."
