October 1, 1996

Elise was walking home from her university class. She was still in secondary school, but she was taking a couple classes at the local university.

Her boyfriend met up with her outside the building and smiled. "How was class?"

"Very interesting. We learned about the--"

She stopped and he frowned. "What is it?"

"My stomach. It hurts."

His eyes widened. "Elise, you're pregnant!"

She looked down at her stomach to see that he was right. She looked up at him in fear. "I think it's coming."

There was no time to get her to the hospital, so he delivered her baby.

The two of them knew they couldn't raise a baby on their own and their parents would be angry if they found out.

An older gentleman with a monocle walked up to them. "How much for it?"

The man sighed. "How much for her?"

The couple exchanged a look and said, "Take her."

He gave them $25,000 in dollars for the baby and whisked her away.
