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.
